One vision of the nature of language holds that a language consists of a set of symbolic unit types, and a set of units of each type, together with a set of grammatical principles that constrain how these units can be used to compose other units, and a system of rules that project structured arrangements of such units onto other structured arrangements of units (for example, from syntactic to s...

selective harmonic elimination (she) is a powerful modulation scheme aims to find the required switching angles in order to eliminate the number of undesired harmonics. she is a complicated problem which consists of several nonlinear equations which have multiple local minima. in order to eliminate the higher number of undesired harmonics and as a result reducing the total harmonic distortion (...

MANY students of statistics, especially those who are not studying mathematics, have difficulty with the mathematical formulation of statistical methods. The theory of statistics is largely based upon the theory of probability distributions and sampling distributions of parameters such as the mean or test statistics such as chi-squared. Because each approach uses a different formula, many stude...

We introduce a method for promoting reflective conversations during collaborative work which enables participants to explore their cognitive goals and processes and thereby develop a metacognitive understanding of their practice. This method, termed "cognitive facilitation," seeks to provide a conceptual and linguistic basis for metacognitive reflection by "seeding" conversations with a cogniti...
