Opening Up an Intelligent Tutoring System Development Environment for Extensible Student Modeling
No full textITS authoring tools make creating intelligent tutoring systems more cost effective, but few authoring tools make it easy to flexibly incorporate an open-ended range of student modeling methods and learning analytics tools. To support a cumulative science of student modeling and enhance the impact of real-world tutoring systems, it is critical to extend ITS authoring tools so they easily accommodate novel student modeling methods. We report on extensions to the CTAT/Tutorshop architecture to support a plug-in approach to extensible student modeling, which gives an author full control over the content of the student model. The extensions enhance the range of adaptive tutoring behaviors that can be authored and support building external, student- or teacher-facing real-time analytics tools. The contributions of this work are: (1) an open architecture to support the plugging in, sharing, re-mixing, and use of advanced student modeling techniques, ITSs, and dashboards; and (2) case studies illustrating diverse ways authors have used the architecture
Technological capabilities and Japanese foreign direct investment in the United States
No full textExamines the effect of relative technological capabilities on Japanese direct investment into the US by looking simultaneously at industry conditions in the two markets. A negative binomial regression model is specified to estimate the effects of R&D capability and industry structure on a count measure of Japanese entries across 297 industries. The results indicate that Japanese direct investment in the US is drawn to industries intensive in R&D expenditures summed across both countries; voluntary restraints on Japanese exports encourage direct investment. When the entries are disaggregated by mode there is a significant indication that joint ventures are used for the sourcing and sharing of US technological capabilities. -from Author
Rethinking organisational learning
No full textDeposited with permission of the author © 2002 Dr. Bruce Watson. Contact details: Dr. Bruce D. Watson [email protected] learning has proven to be a somewhat elusive concept to grasp and therefore its practical implementation has also been difficult. There are various positions on what "learning" is understood to be and there is a lack of synthesis of theoretical and empirical investigations. This thesis argues that the conception of "learning" in the organisational learning literature has received insufficient attention and that this has largely contributed to the lack of clarity in the concept of organisational learning. It is proposed that cognitive science especially connectionism. provides a model of individual learning that is capable of incorporating implicit and explicit elements of learning and knowledge. Connectionist models of learning mimic the physiological neural processes of the brain and connectionism demonstrates the capacity to combine cognitivist and constructivist theories of learning. To accomplish the transition to an explanation of collective cognitive processes as occur in organisations and while continuing to recognise the individual neural processes that must be involved. it is proposed that the theory of situated action is united with connectionism. On the basis of such, this thesis proposes a reconceptualisation of organisational learning and a new framework to guide management practice
Scottish Chaucerianism in older Scots literature, c.1424-1513: a re-evaluation
No full textThis thesis takes a fresh view of fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Chaucerian literature in Scotland, tracing its development from its earliest beginnings into an independent poetic tradition. In overview, this account provides a broader understanding of this body of writing as cohesive and dynamic, increasingly growing in confidence as it matures and evolves along distinct lines and revealing an awareness of itself as a native tradition in its own right as the later poets of the period respond to the work of the earlier ones.
Chapter 1 begins with The Kingis Quair (c.1424) of James I of Scotland (1394-1437), arguing that James’s poem undertakes the appropriation of an existing vernacular tradition represented by Chaucer. The Quair’s increasingly confident portrayal of the author as one who has access to Christian wisdom intersects with James’s implicit vernacular self-assertion in establishing a Chaucer tradition in Scotland.
Chapter 2 focuses on the mid-fifteenth-century poem, Richard Holland’s (d. in or after 1483) Buke of the Howlat (c.1448), which engages simultaneously with the Parliament of Fowls (c.1380-82) and The House of Fame (c.1375) as well as with the later fourteenth-century Scots poem John Barbour’s Bruce (c.1375). Holland’s narrative and thematic interest in the ugly owl relates to his sense of Scottishness as the Howlat indirectly proclaims the perspective of difference from which it answers the poetry of Chaucer.
Chapter 3 argues that a similar sense of alterity informs Robert Henryson’s Testament of Cresseid (c.1440-1550) where it is made to assume the form of an implicit vernacular self-assertion. Chapter 3 also undertakes an original reassessment of both Henryson’s Orpheus and Eurydice, which it contends represents a reworking of the use of the mixed form in Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde, and the Moral Fables, which it argues consists of a response to the storytelling genre in The Canterbury Tales.
Chapter 4 of this thesis considers a selection of texts by William Dunbar (c.1460?-1513x1530) which demonstrate his awareness of an established Chaucer tradition in Scotland. Yet, Dunbar, while explicitly recognizing the existence of this native Scottish Chaucerianism, nevertheless stands at a subversive angle to this body of writing despite drawing on the earlier writers in this thesis in his poetry.
Gavin Douglas’s self-conscious situating of himself within the Scottish Chaucerian tradition is the focus of Chapter 5, which examines the influence of The Kingis Quair on the Palice of Honour (c.1503), before turning to the parallels between his later vernacular translation of Virgil’s Aeneid, the Eneados (c.1513), and the experimental framing of reading experience in the poetry of Robert Henryson
Mixed Bruce-Roberts numbers
No full text[EN] We extend the notions of mu*- sequences and Tjurina numbers of functions to the framework of Bruce-Roberts numbers, that is, to pairs formed by the germ at 0 of a complex analytic variety X. Cn and a finitely R( X)-determined analytic function germ f : (Cn, 0). (C, 0). We analyze some fundamental properties of these numbers.Part of this work was developed during the stay of the first author at the Departamento de Matematica of ICMC, Sao Carlos, Universidade de Sao Paulo (Brazil), in February and July 2018.

Fransen).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The species, first reported in association with antipatharians from Madagascar, was originally described and illustrated by Bruce (1978). The specific granulation of the major chelipeds is discussed for other <i>Periclimenes</i> -like pontoniine shrimps in the remarks to the original description and, later, by the same author (Bruce 1990) in his comments for <i>Periclimenes tonga</i>. In the latter report, the author pointed out (p. 31) the fact that in <i>P. granulimanus</i>, “the distal propod and dactyl of the ambulatory [leg] appear to form a prehensile mechanism”. The prehensile structures are almost identical to those of <i>P. laevimanus</i> sp. nov., and are more thoroughly discussed in <b>Remarks</b> for <i>P. laevimanus</i> and <i>P. brucei</i> (above), and in the <b>Discussion</b> (below).</p> <p> <i>P. granulimanus</i> is closely similar to <i>P. laevimanus</i> sp. nov. Together with the major cheliped granulation noted above, this species also differs by stouter proportions of the cheliped: the palm is 5 times longer than deep and 3.5 times longer than the fingers, while the porportions are 6.6–8.0 times and 4.0–4.5 times, respectively, in adults of the new species, but in juveniles these relations may be approx. 3.5 and 1.8 times, respectively. The major second pereiopod carpus is subequal to the fingers in the female holotype of <i>P. granulimanus</i>, but approximately 2 times longer in adults of <i>P. laevimanus</i> sp. nov. (subequal in juveniles). The minor chela has 1 and 2 shallow teeth on the cutting edges of the fixed finger and the dactylus, respectively; these are lacking in the new species. No noticeable thoracic sternal structures were encountered in <i>P. laevimanus</i> sp. nov., while a small median tubercle was reported on the fourth and eighth sternites, and a shallow median notch on the fifth to seventh sternites in <i>P. granulimanus</i> (Bruce 1978). The accessory pigment spot and the arthrobranch on the third maxilliped were reported as lacking in the holotype of <i>P. granulimanus,</i> with the latter being possibly lost during dissecting of the holotype (Bruce 1978). Both these structures are present in other species of the <i>P. granulimanus</i> species group discussed in this work. The examination of the RMNH specimens of <i>P. granulimanus</i>, by C.H.J.M. Fransen (pers. comm.), prove that the accessory pigment spot was present as a very small dot, dorsally in the posterior margin of the cornea, but almost indistinguishable from the rest of the cornea. A small 2-lamellate arthrobranch is also present on the third maxilliped.</p> <p> <b>Color.</b> Not reported.</p> <p> <b>Host.</b> Unidentified antipatharian (Bruce 1978); a bushy hydroid, <i>Lytocarpus philippinus</i> (Kirchenpauer), 24 m (Bruce 1981); <i>Virgularia</i> sp.

Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
No full textThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories
