On Generalized Whitehead Products
We define a symmetric monodical pairing G ◦ H among simply connected co-H spaces G and H with the property that S(G◦H) is equivalent to the smash product G∧H as co-H spaces. We further generalize the Whitehead product map to a map G ◦ H → G ∨ H whose mapping cone is the cartesian product. Whitehead products have played an important role in unstable homotopy. They were originally introduced [Whi...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
On Exploiting Structures of Classical Planning Problems: Generalizing Entanglements
Much progress has been made in the research and development of automated planning algorithms in recent years. Though incremental improvements in algorithm design are still desirable, complementary approaches such as problem reformulation are important in tackling the high computational complexity of planning. While machine learning and adaptive techniques have been usefully applied to automated...
متن کاملGravity of higher-dimensional global defects
Solutions of Einstein’s equations are found for global defects in a higherdimensional spacetime with a nonzero cosmological constant Λ. The defect has a (p − 1)-dimensional core (brane) and a ‘hedgehog’ scalar field configuration in the n extra dimensions. For Λ = 0 and n > 2, the solutions are characterized by a flat brane worldsheet and a solid angle deficit in the extra dimensions. For Λ > 0...
متن کاملGravity of superheavy higher-dimensional global defects
Numerical solutions of Einstein’s and scalar-field equations are found for a global defect in a higher-dimensional spacetime. The defect has a (3 + 1)dimensional core and a “hedgehog” scalar-field configuration in n = 3 extra dimensions. For sufficiently low symmetry-breaking scales η, the solutions are characterized by a flat worldsheet geometry and a constant solid deficit angle in the extra ...
