Memorization is a technique which allows to speed up exponential recursive algorithms at the cost of an exponential space complexity. This technique already leads to the currently fastest algorithm for fixed-parameter vertex cover, whose time complexity is O(1.2832kk1.5 + kn), where n is the number of nodes and k is the size of the vertex cover. Via a refined use of memorization, we obtain a O(...

We compute the number of local configurations of size 2×n on naive discrete planes using combinatorics on words, 2-dimensional Rote sequences and Berstel-Pocchiola diagrams.

Recollection-based recognition memory judgments benefit greatly from effortful elaborative encoding, whereas familiarity-based judgments are much less sensitive to such manipulations. In this study, we have examined whether rote rehearsal under divided attention might produce the opposite dissociation, benefiting familiarity more than recollection. Subjects rehearsed word pairs during the "dist...

We compute the number of local configurations of size 2 × n on discrete planes using combinatorics on words, 2-dimensional Rote sequences and two dimensional Farey diagrams.

In medieval Islam, traditional primary educational practices laid special emphasis on learning the Qur??n by heart. Ideally, a pupil was primed to memorize entirety of Holy Book?a feat known as khatma or ?adhqa. The successful learner would earn prestigious sobriquet “??fi?”, for which he/she be proudly rest his/her life. Muslim youngsters continue up present times Qur??n, in conceivably more l...

Die Bildungsstandards Informatik für die Sekundarstufe I formulieren Ansprüche an den Informatik-Unterricht für die Jahrgänge 5 bis 10. Ausgehend von diesen Standards erscheint eine Unterrichtskonzeption einer Informatik im Kontext naheliegend und viel versprechend. Sie ist aber nur dann zielführend, wenn nicht nur einzelne, sondern wesentliche Teile des Curriculums in dieser Form organisiert s...
