In this article, we use two concepts, measure of non-compactness and Meir-Keeler condensing operators. The measure of non-compactness has been applied for existence of solution nonlinear integral equations, ordinary differential equations and system of differential equations in the case of finite and infinite dimensions by some authors. Also Meir-Keeler condensing operators are shown in some pa...

John Rawls (1921–2002) and his work are now squarely a subject for history. In the more than fifteen years since death, rich body of scholarship has emerged which attempts, in different ways, to understand nature, development, impact Rawls's thought from variety historical perspectives. With 2021 marking fifty A Theory Justice (1971) was first published, this special forum examines what we here...

MOSAIC, a model that has already simulated cross-linguistic differences in the occurrence of the Optional Infinitive phenomenon, is applied to the simulation of the pattern of finiteness marking within Dutch. This within-language pattern, which includes verb placement, low rates of Optional Infinitives in Wh-questions and the correlation between finiteness marking and subject provision, has bee...

The Agreement/Tense Omission Model (ATOM) predicts that English-speaking children will show similar patterns of provision across different tense-marking morphemes (Rice, Wexler & Hershberger, 1998). The aim of the present study was to test this prediction by examining provision rates for third person singular present tense and first and third person singular forms of copula BE and auxiliary BE ...

A web-based tutorial and examination system has been developed in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Auckland. OASIS is an Online ASsessment and Information System. OASIS comprises an extensive question database and server-side program that delivers questions to students, marks their responses and records students’ activities and performance. In OASIS s...

This paper aims to apply the dependent marking theory shed light on distribution of information markers in Shilluk, which can be divided into two types: marked and unmarked. Focus belongs type, while Topic unmarked type. claims that Shilluk consists steps, with type assigned Step 1 2. In 1, if an NP is c-commanded by another a domain, it feature [FOC]. 2, there remaining has received no [TOP]. ...

We study Parametric Petri Nets (PPNs), i.e., Petri nets for which some arc weights can be parameters. In that setting, we address a problem of parameter synthesis, which consists in computing the exact set of values for the parameters such that a given marking is coverable in the instantiated net. Since the emptiness of that solution set is already undecidable for general PPNs, we address a spe...

During a settlement decision, the presence of conspecifics is crucial to species subject to Allee effects, for which the number of founders affects the subsequent growth of the colony. Marking the area (physically or chemically) conveys information about the number of conspecifics present in a new patch. Here, we study how an individual affinity for the marker affects the dynamics of a foundati...

This paper introduces a new packet marking algorithm that can be used in the context of Assured Forwarding (AF) in the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) framework [1], [2]. The new marking algorithm is called Equation-Based Marking (EBM) and is based on the TCP model in [3]. EBM is to handle the problems found in other marking schemes regarding fairness among heterogeneous TCP flows through a ...
