This paper examines the relationship between knowing how to G and the ability to G, which is typically presented in one of the following ways: (a) knowing how to G entails the ability to G; (b) knowing how to G does not entail the ability to G. In an attempt to reconcile these two putatively opposing positions, I distinguish between type and token actions. It is my contention that S can know ho...

It is shown that for any set of disjoint line segments in the plane there exists a pointed binary encompassing tree, that is, a spanning tree on the segment endpoints that contains all input segments, has maximal degree three, and such that every vertex is incident to an angle greater than π. As a consequence, it follows that every set of disjoint line segments has a bounded degree pseudo-trian...

We show that for any set of disjoint line segments in the plane there exists a pointed binary encompassing tree T , that is, a spanning tree on the segment endpoints that contains all input segments, has maximum degree three, and every vertex v ∈ T is pointed, that is, v has an incident angle greater than π. Such a tree can be completed to a minimum pseudo-triangulation. In particular, it follo...

It is shown that every disconnected vertex-colored plane straight line graph with no isolated vertices can be augmented (by adding edges) into a connected plane straight line graph such that the new edges respect the coloring and the degree of every vertex increases by at most two. The upper bound for the increase of vertex degrees is best possible: there are input graphs that require the addit...

Abstract There are three main schools for the study of ethos: pragmatic-discursive; symbolic interactionist, and rhetorical one. This paper aims to give an encompassing fuller perspective on ethos that can be useful contemporary uses persuasive communication, including media communication such as advertising or marketing communication. Primarily, it outlines conceptual employments has suffered ...

By taking out letters from a word we get a subword. Both continuous sub-words (also called factors or simply subwords) and scattered subwords were extensively studied. In [4] the authors introduced Parikh matrices, structures that contain more information about the words than Parikh vectors, which tell us only the number of di $ffere\tau 1T$ letters building the word. $I_{l1}[5]$ the notion of ...

From a generic set of uncertain pieces of information about the normal course of things and a temporal sequence of reported facts, an intelligent artifact should be able to identify causally related events and distinguish between factors that facilitate or justify the occurrence of events from other facts. In this paper, we propose a model for causality and facilitation ascriptions when the bac...
