This study seeks to identify alternative learning models increase children's creativity in CIBI student service program schools. The approach utilized is a combined research method consisting of qualitative pattern and an exploratory design. procedure consisted two phases; the first phase entailed analyzing problems potentials world education, particularly West Java; second involved drafting mo...

Speech and music both utilize pitch variation to convey meaning, such as emotional affect. In speech, pitch conveys pragmatic meaning and, in tone languages, lexical information. This study examines how experience processing lexical pitch affects music-pitch perception. Twenty-eight non-musicians (14 English and 14 Mandarin speakers) discriminated and identified short melodies. The Mandarin lis...

To date, little is known about the dynamics of vertical transmission of Toxoplasma gondii in Australian marsupials. Studies in mice demonstrate that vertical transmission of T. gondii is common and that chronically infected mice can transmit T. gondii to successive generations. In this study, PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect T. gondii in chronically infected marsupial dams and t...

We find the exact critical temperature T(c) of the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Ising model on an "equilibrium" random graph with an arbitrary degree distribution P(k). We observe an anomalous behavior of the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat, when P(k) is fat tailed, or, loosely speaking, when the fourth moment of the distribution diverges in infinite networks. When th...

We consider a queue fed by a mixture of light-tailed and heavy-tailed traffic. The two traffic flows are served in accordance with the Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) discipline. GPS-based scheduling algorithms, such as Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ), have emerged as an important mechanism for achieving service differentiation in integrated networks. We derive the asymptotic workload behavior...

In this paper we fmd a nonexponential Lundberg approximation of the ruin probability in a Cox model, in which a governing process has a regenerative structure and claims are light-tailed or have an intermediate regularly varying distribution. Examples include an intensity process being reflected Brownian motion, square functions of the Omstein-Uhlenbeck process and splitting reflected Brownian ...
