By custom in the last few decades, the President's address has usually been clinical, but loosely connected with medicine or science. He has had free choice of subject, by tradition the tide is not disclosed beforehand, and no Questions are asked afterwards. All this gives him considerable advantage, I have therefore chosen a subject which I think is of interest to many People, that of the pict...

We have examined the convergence behavior of the LSCMA in some simple environments. Algorithms such as Multi¬ Target CMA, Multistage CMA, and Iterative Least Squares with Projection can be used for this purpose. The results presented here can form a basis for analysis of these multi-signal extraction techniques. Clearly, the variance and distribution of output SINR obtained with the LSCMA is al...

Multivariate control chats are generally used in situations where the simultaneous monitoring or control of two or more related quality characteristics is necessary. In most processes in the real world, distribution of the process characteristics are unknown or at least non-normal, so the non-parametric or distribution-free charts are desirable. Most non-parametric statistical process-control t...

U programs in educational leadership have been criticized for failing to prepare effective leaders for our nation’s schools. Many of these critics are demanding signifi cant changes to leadership preparation programs, however, amidst these strident calls for change there has been very little dialogue about or consensus on what we as members of a democratic society believe capable educational le...

I think Odysseus is not lying completely to the Phaeacians, but is stretching the truth. He wants to be known as a hero and have stories told about him so he stretches the truth. When he is telling his adventure and stories, ultimately he can say whatever he wants and no one can really question him. He might not be stretching the truth but possible leaving bits and pieces out to make him seem s...

Think about any characteristic of people around you and you will immediately notice that they differ from each other. They differ not only in bodily features like height, skin colour, weight, vision and hearing ability etc. but also in the psychological attributes. In our everyday experience we find that people differ in their motivation, approach to problems, interest and ability to learn. The...

according to B&R, if Davidson had established his "no language" thesis, he would thereby have provided a decisive reason for abandoning the project he has long advocated--viz., that of trying to provide theories of meaning for natural languages by providing recursive theories of truth for such languages. For he would have shown that there are no languages to provide truth (or meaning) theories ...

In this paper, we use an input oriented chance-constrained DEA model withrandom inputs and outputs. A super-eciency model with chance constraintsis used for ranking. However, for convenience in calculations a non-linear deterministicequivalent model is obtained to solve the models. The non-linearmodel is converted into a model with quadratic constraints to solve the nonlineardeterministic model...
