Tai (2005) argues for the importance of iconicity as a fundamental property of language, illustrating the modality effects of iconicity through the study of a set of iconic devices used in Taiwan Sign Language (TSL). This paper extends Tai’s research, in exploring the iconic devices used in another Asian sign language, Chinese Sign Language (CSL). Some preliminary comparisons are made in this p...

Single Sign-on (SSO) is a useful technology that allows users to skip bothersome authentication processes during access to multiple services. In this paper, we propose a new SSO model named Broker Agent Gateway SSO (BAG-SSO), and present a campus network BAG-SSO solution that makes use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide strong authentication and Privilege Management Infrastructure (P...

Unbounded distributive lattices which have strong endomorphism kernel property (SEKP) introduced by Blyth and Silva in [3] were fully characterized in [11] using Priestley duality (see Theorem  2.8}). We shall determine the structure of special elements (which are introduced after  Theorem 2.8 under the name strong elements) and show that these lattices can be considered as a direct product of ...

We determine the order dimension of the strong Bruhat order on finite Coxeter groups of types A, B and H. The order dimension is determined using a generalization of a theorem of Dilworth: dim(P ) = width(Irr(P )), whenever P satisfies a simple order-theoretic condition called here the dissective property (or “clivage” in [16, 21]). The result for dissective posets follows from an upper bound a...
