We show that nonlinear Liouville theorems does not hold in general for indefinite problems on half spaces. Thus, in order to use blow-up method to obtain a priori estimates of indefinite elliptic equations, one has to impose assumptions on the nodal set of nonlinearity. The counter example is constructed by shooting method in one-dimensional case and then extended to higher dimensions.

With participatory action method, data were collected valida...

In the present study, field goal shooting skills of female basketball players were assessed in the background to their reasoning ability. The sample consists of 100 female intercollegiate basketball players (age = 21.05±1.67 yrs.). Shooting skills and reasoning ability were assessed by Johnson’s “Basketball Field Goal Speed Shooting Test” and Mixed Type Group Test of Intelligence prepared by Me...

We propose a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for the optimal control of large-scale dynamical systems. The method uses modified multiple shooting to discretize the dynamical constraints. When these systems have relatively few parameters, the computational complexity of the modified method is much less than that of standard multiple shooting. Moreover, the proposed method is demons...

This study extends humor theory to explain puns originating from orthographic conversion in Japanese computermediated communication (CMC). Standard word-processing software converts Romanized input to appropriate orthographic output consisting of phono-graphic kana and ideographic kanji. Such software may produce an output often semantically incongruent with the intended output, which can be hu...

Pronunciation is essential to appropriate communication because the incorrect use ofpronunciation inevitably leads to the message being misunderstood by the receptor. In spite of itsimportance, L2 learners often regard pronunciation as the most difficult language skill to learn.In this study, shadowing as an act or task in pronunciation, in which the learner tracks the targetspeech and repeats ...

Assumption 2 (Smoothness of the control problem) We assume that the function f : Rnx×nq 7→ Rx is sufficiently smooth. Note that Lipschitz continuity guarantees the unique existence of a solution x(·) of the differential equations for fixed q by virtue of the Picard-Lindelöf theorem. As we assume unique sensitivities in the following, also the partial derivative functions ∂f ∂x , ∂f ∂q , ∂f ∂x2 ...

The shoot2.0 package implements an indirect shooting method for optimal control problems. It is speci cally designed to handle control discontinuities, with an automatic switching detection that requires no assumptions concerning the number of switchings. Special care is also devoted to the computation of the Jacobian matrix of the shooting function, using the variational system instead of clas...

BACKGROUND Practising target-shooting sport requires focused attention and motoric steadiness. A previous non-controlled pilot study suggests that children with impairing symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) benefit from participating in target-shooting sport in local shooting associations, as rated by parents and teachers. This study aims at examining if, and to which ex...
