چکیده
As personified in jokers, fools and clowns, humour is an integral part of human history [44]. Humour can lighten what might otherwise be dull, tense or tedious situations. Common definitions of humour emphasize "amusement" and "laughter," implying some form of benign diversion. But recent research suggests that jokes are not "events" that are funny-or harmful--as such. Rather, joking entails a dynamic process where the characteristics of the joke teller and the audience interact with the embedded meaning of the joke. It is the interactions among these factors which determine whether efforts to be funny are acceptable or not [26,40,42]. The present study employs a power-based approach to examine how situational factors affect the degree of acceptability of gender-based humour in classroom settings.

An adaptive scheduling algorithm for dynamic heterogeneous Hadoop systems
The MapReduce and Hadoop frameworks were designed to support efficient large scale computations. There has been growing interest in employing Hadoop clusters for various diverse applications. A large number of (heterogeneous) clients, using the same Hadoop cluster, can result in tensions between the various performance metrics by which such systems are measured. On the one hand, from the servic...
متن کاملAdding the Time Dimension to Majority Voting Strategies∗
Real-time applications typically have to satisfy high dependability requirements and require fault tolerance in both value and time domains. A widely used approach to ensure fault tolerance in dependable systems is the N-modular redundancy (NMR) which typically uses a majority voting mechanism. However, NMR primarily focuses on producing the correct value, without taking into account the time d...
متن کاملTopological charge algebra of optical vortices in nonlinear interactions.
We investigate the transfer of orbital angular momentum among multiple beams involved in a coherent Raman interaction. We use a liquid crystal light modulator to shape pump and Stokes beams into optical vortices with various integer values of topological charge, and cross them in a Raman-active crystal to produce multiple Stokes and anti-Stokes sidebands. We measure the resultant vortex charges...
متن کاملState Independent Resource Management for Distributed Grids
In practice, a scheduling algorithm should consider multiple objectives. Typically, there are two kinds of objectives. The first is the performance of the system in terms of quantities related to the completion time of tasks, the second is the amount of state information required, which is often measured in terms of quantities such as communications costs. These two objectives are often in tens...
