Over the past several years, there has been a resurgence of interest in—and reconceptualizing of— character education in primary and secondary schools across the United States. An important question, then, is how this new emphasis on character development at the K-12 level impacts the work of university faculty and student affairs professionals. Are graduates of these primary and secondary scho...

Recognition of variously deformed character patterns is a salient subject for off-line hand-printed character recognition. Sufficient recognition performance for practical use has not been achieved despite reports of many recognition techniques. Our research examines effective recognition techniques for deformed characters, extending conventional recognition techniques using an on-line characte...

We present an automatic method for analyzing sentiment dynamics between characters in plays. This literary format’s structured dialogue allows us to make assumptions about who is participating in a conversation. Once we have an idea of who a character is speaking to, the sentiment in his or her speech can be attributed accordingly, allowing us to generate lists of a character’s enemies and alli...

for a finite group $g$‎, ‎we study the total character $tau_g$‎ ‎afforded by the direct sum of all the non-isomorphic irreducible‎ ‎complex representations of $g$‎. ‎we resolve for several classes of‎ ‎groups (the camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the generalized camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the groups which admit $(g,z(g))$ as a generalized camina pair)‎, ‎the problem of existence of a‎ ‎polynomial $f(x) in mathbb...

A method for preclassification of handwritten Chinese characters is presented. A set of basic stroke substructures is defined using the consistent stroke connection relations. A knowledge guided recognition process is employed to identify the types of the extracted basic stroke substructures found in a handwritten character. Then a 1-D character coding scheme is given to represent the character...
