This article examines research literature that overlaps the fields of mathematics and special education, with a particular focus on students with disabilities at the middle and high school levels. We report the results of this literature by describing some of the inconsistencies or contradictions between the fields as well as the commonalities that exist in the research and recommendations. Fin...

Metastatic cell heterogeneity presents a significant obstacle to the development of targeted molecular and immunotherapeutics. Profiling of melanocyte differentiation antigens has revealed a nonstochastic, site-specific pattern of expression in metastases that was highest in brain, intermediate in soft tissues/lymph nodes, and lowest in visceral sites. Site-specific antigen heterogeneity, thus,...

Pain is a useful sensation. Nociceptive pain provides warning of impending or actual tissue damage and prompts aversive or attentive actions that protect the body from harm. People who do not feel pain, due to mutation of certain ion channels (1), suffer a lifetime of otherwise avoidable injuries. The consequences of losing the ability to feel pain also are highlighted by the symptoms and clini...

Thanks to Pylyshyn's work in the imagery debate, theorists are now apt to be at least a bit more cautious when they launch into descriptions of depictive representation. Even if the full force of his critique is not everywhere acknowledged, more care and vigilance is exercized when broaching talk of scanning mental images, focusing on such entities, or rotating them. The very places found in me...

These considerations were important when Ian Clarke devised Freenet. This system uses a decentralized peer-to-peer architecture in which each node provides data storage to store files to share with peers. In Freenet, each file automatically assigns itself a location-independent and globally unique identifier (GUID), a special kind of key which Freenet uses to identify the file. From (GUID) a no...

In this paper we study a simple vulnerability-based stochastic dependency model of link failures in a network prone to disasters. Under this model, we study the problem of locating k facilities to maximize the expected demand serviced within a given distance, and show its equivalence to the well-studied maximum k-facility location problem. In the special case when there is no distance constrain...

The ubiquity and personalization of mobile phones makes them a promising platform for advertising. Currently, practices known from online advertisement can be adapted, e.g. content-aware ads. However, location as a special feature requires further refinements for mobile advertising. In this paper, we present a conceptual proposal of a billing schema for location-aware advertising. The introduce...

This paper discusses the automatic identification of motion verbs. The context is the recovery of unrealized location roles from discourse context or “locational inference”, a special case of missing argument recovery. We first report on a small corpus study on verb classes for which location roles are particularly relevant. This includes motion, orientation and position verbs. Then, we discuss...

Using cell information for locating users in cellular networks is a common way to implement location based servers. However, implementations usually rely on infrastructure on the provider’s side like special lookup servers. We present a light-weight solution that communicates the cell information to Web services. Our software is event based and therefore well suited for pro-active location base...
