The Periodic Publications For Children: Communicative Aspect

On the Communicative Aspect of Human-Robot Joint Action*

Actions performed in the context of a joint activity comprise two aspects: functional and communicative. The functional component achieves the goal of the action, whereas its communicative component, when present, expresses some information to the actor’s partners in the joint activity. The interpretation of such communication requires leveraging information that is public to all participants, ...

The communicative contexts of grammatical aspect use in English.

In many of the world's languages grammatical aspect is used to indicate how events unfold over time. In English, activities that are ongoing can be distinguished from those that are completed using the morphological marker -ing. Using naturalistic observations of two children in their third year of life, we quantify the availability and reliability of the imperfective form in the communicative ...

Modeling Periodic Aspect of Limb Pattern Formation

Lift Enhancement for Low-Aspect-Ratio Wings with Periodic Excitation

In an effort to enhance lift on low-aspect-ratio rectangular flat-plate wings in low-Reynolds-number poststall flows, periodic injection of momentum is considered along the trailing edge in this numerical study. The purpose of actuation is not to reattach the flowbut to change the dynamics of thewake vortices such that the resulting lift force is increased. Periodic forcing is observed to be ef...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
