This article presents an original and critical interrogation of how disabled activists establish claims coordinate activities to progress the independent living agenda. The achieves this by employing Beckett Campbell’s (2015) concept ‘oppositional device’, which is used understand resistance practices technologies power that coalesce around people’s collective action. argues could, similarly, b...

Abstract The sliding mode control has the property of independence from characteristics unchangeable part automatic stabilization system (ASS). In article, this is proposed to be applied ASS stabilize horizontal working plane using two hydraulic cylinders. A model been developed. paper synthesizes a law for and simulates operation on MATLAB-SIMULINK. simulation results indicate that stable work...

Independence -- the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning -- has received an increasing attention from the AI community. In this paper, we consider two basic forms of independence, namely, a syntactic one and a semantic one. We show features and drawbacks of them. In particular, while the syntactic form of independence is computationally easy to check, there are cases in whi...

Instruction cache performance is widely recognized as a critical component of the overall performance of a program; especially so in the case of large applications like database servers. In this report, we present a technique for (1) identifying repeated blocks of instructions in a program executable, and (2) converting these repeated code blocks into lightweight procedures (i.e. LWprocs). The ...

We extend the study of weak local conditional independence (WCLI) based on a measurability condition made by (Commenges and Gégout-Petit J R Stat Soc B 71:1-18) to a larger class of processes that we call D'. We also give a definition related to the same concept based on certain likelihood processes, using the Girsanov theorem. Under certain conditions, the two definitions coincide on D'. These...

PURPOSE To identify and interpret differences between resident and faculty perceptions of resident autonomy and of faculty support of resident autonomy. METHOD Parallel questionnaires were sent to pediatric residents and faculty at the University of Rochester Medical Center in 2011. Items addressed self-determination theory (SDT) constructs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and asked reside...
