In this issue, Juneja, et al. [10] have evaluated a Hindi translation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire on Indian infants. They confirmed their results by assessing the same children by the Development Assessment Scales for Indian Infants (DASII), which is considered the gold standard. They found a fairly high sensitivity (83.3%) and good specificity (75.4%) at 18-24 months of age. This test...

Current deadlock control approaches for WSPR (Weighted Systems of Simple Sequential Processes with Resources Requirement) suffer from incorrect liveness characterization based on the concept of deadly marked siphons (DMS). We discover that nonlive transitions may exist even though there are no DMS. That is, the net model may be weakly live or in livelock states under no DMS. It is live under a ...

As a way of reinforcing classroom-based lessons, especially for continuous evaluation, the authors experimented with remote conferences and tutoring. These seminars were directed at three different groups of students: those who are struggling with the subject, those who were unable to attend all the lessons, and those seeking deeper insight. The authors experimented with different platforms for...

We present a set of tools that were developed for an experimental music project in which an album was created with 1,000 distinct variations and released as a digital limited edition. The tools enable the parameterisation of musical compositions created in the popular music software Ableton Live such that timelines of musical elements can be composed as keyframes and interpolated between.

This paper explores how the ability to commit in games affect equilibrium payoffs. More precisely, we consider two-stage games, called commitment games, in which players can commit to some of their strategies in the first stage, and play the game induced by their commitment in the second stage. We completely characterize equilibrium payoffs of commitment games. Among others, we show that the po...

We describe research extending the interactive a↵ordances of textual code fragments in creative coding environments. In particular we examine the potential of source code both to display the state of running processes and also to alter state using means other than traditional text editing. In contrast to previous research that has focused on the inclusion of additional interactive widgets insid...
