During the last few decades the personality domain has witnessed several major controversies, including the person±situation debate and the debates on accurate re ̄ection versus systematic distortion, on nomothetic versus idiographic approaches, on nature±nurture, etc. Within these controversies several sharp contrasts and pendulum movements have stood out. In particular, regarding the person±si...

The T-pattern algorithm of Magnusson’s was used to find emotional process patterns EPP in facial expressions shown by subjects in different social situations (Common and psychotherapeutic situations). The facial behaviour of the participants was coded using EMFACS (Emotional Facial Coding System). Purpose of the study of common situations was to find indicators for the influence of gender and m...

This paper describes experiences with the limitations imposed by OWL on the representation of common constructs in two distinct application domains: qualitative reasoning models in ecology, and ontology based legal reasoning. We will show that OWL is not expressive enough to unambiguously represent situations using restrictions. Secondly, we show that representing the idea that instances in dif...

The notion of that information is relative to a context is important in many different ways. The idea that the context is small — that is, not necessarily a consistent and complete possible world — plays a role not only in situation theory, but it is also an enlightening perspective from which to view other areas, such as modal logics, relevant logics, categorial grammar and much more. In this ...

This study proposes a new methodology to estimate the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Height (ABLH), discriminating between Convective and Stable heights, based on machine learning algorithm known as Gradient Boosting Regression Tree. The proposed here uses first estimation of ABLH derived applying gradient method ceilometer signal several meteorological variables obtain values comparable those from...

The results of the development an information system providing integration satellite microwave radiometric sensing data geostationary observations in visible and IR range are described. This is designed to ensure restoration atmospheric temperature humidity profiles conditions emergency situations caused by mesoscale convective complexes (MCC). methodological feature developed approach minimize...

To date very little is known about the relation between regional circulation patterns and sea surface temperature development in the Niño 1,2 region and the occurrence of heavy precipitation in Ecuador and northern Peru. The current study uses a comprehensive data set of 2544 Meteosat-3 imagery to investigate the dynamics of heavy precipitation during El Niño in 1991/92. Rainfall maps are retri...

We analyze number agreement in English in the version of Situation Semantics I put forth in [1]. We propose two theoretical notions, agreement target situations and relevance of situations. We propose that structural constraints shift the former in a way governed by the latter. Our analysis shows that number agreement reflects our knowledge about the structure of the world and the speaker's int...
