As part of an extended research aiming to investigate the narratives of 20 century historical events represented in Hungarian history textbooks, the focus of this study is directed to the assessment of the visual representations found in textbooks as images and illustrations to measure the levels of emotional processing of specific events in respect to the Kubler-Ross (1969) grief model. Utiliz...

1 The Oxford handbook of philosophy of economics aims at bringing out what is new in the philosophy of economics—an aim that, I believe, has been successfully achieved. The introductory chapter by Don Ross and Harold Kincaid does a superb job of describing the current orientation of philosophy of economics, the result of developments in philosophy of science, in economics, and in the relationsh...

The idea that the self is temporal and that the future-oriented components of the self are critical to understanding well-being can be traced to William James (1890/1950), who proposed that the selves we strive to become focus motivational attention, guide behavior, and are an important source of positive selfregard. James proposed that the future, as represented by one’s self-relevant goals fo...

Ross (1967) stated the well-known restriction that nothing may move out of a coordinate structure unless movement is Across-the-Board (ATB) (see also Williams (1978)). This restriction is generally referred to as the Coordinate Structure Constraint (CSC). (1a) is grammatical, because which car has moved from all coordinates, whereas (1b) is bad, because movement is from the first coordinate (C1...

We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the α-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the α-stable Lévy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence...

on how these systems add value (Markus & Tanis, 1999; Ross & Vitale, 2000; Somers and Nelson, 2001), implementation issues (Parr et al., 1999; Scott & Vessey, 2001), and how they should be combined with other information technology (IT) resources (Hayman, 2000). Being a relatively novel phenomenon, there are aspects of ERP that have not been covered well in research – yet. Two such interrelated...

This paper is concerned with making precise the notion that recognizing plans is much like parsing text. To this end, it establishes a correspondence between Kautz’ plan recognition formalism and existing grammatical frameworks. This mapping helps isolate subsets of Kautz’ formalism in which plan recognition can be efficiently performed by parsing. In recent years, plan recognition has emerged ...

Using the so-called mean-reverting square-root process of Cox et al. (1985b) we generalize the work of Dias and Shackleton (2005) by introducing the mean reversion feature into the economic hysteresis analysis under stochastic interest rates and show that such issue highlights a tendency for a widening effect on the range of inaction, though both thresholds have risen when compared with the no ...

Residue Number System (RNS) is a method for representing an integer as an n-tuple of its residues with respect to a given base. Since RNS has inherent parallelism, it is actively researched to implement fast public-key cryptography using RNS. This paper derives the exact error bound of approximation on the Cox-Rower architecture which was proposed for RNS modular multiplication. This is the tig...

These lectures are all about optimal investment/consumption problems, usually with some ‘imperfection’, such as transaction costs, or constraints on the permitted portfolios, or different interest rates for borrowing and lending, or margin requirements for borrowing, or even just incomplete markets. Some time ago, Karatzas, Lehoczky & Shreve (1987), and Cox & Huang (1989) realised that the use ...
