We present an ontology consisting of a theory of spatial dimension and a theory of dimension-independent mereological and topological relations in space. Though both are fairly weak axiomatizations, their interplay suffices to define various mereotopological relations and to make any necessary dimension constraints explicit. We show that models of the INCH Calculus and the Region-Connection Cal...

We discuss selected topics of current research interest in the theory of dynamical systems, with emphasis on dimension theory, multifractal analysis, and quantitative recurrence. The topics include the quantitative versus the qualitative behavior of Poincaré recurrence, the product structure of invariant measures and return times, the dimension of invariant sets and invariant measures, the comp...

Teachers can often readily identify students who demonstrate high or low motivation in a certain task. Motivated students engage in the task with intensity and feeling, whereas unmotivated students procrastinate and indicate in other ways that they would rather do something else. These differences exemplify the quantitative dimension of motivation, ranging from high to low. Teachers can often a...

This study discusses ethical issues in research involving human beings and seeks to understand the relationship between qualitative research and the ethical care guidelines for Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) circles based on Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council of the Ministry of Health of Brazil. This is documentary research, which analyzed Resolution 466/12 and ICT circles se...

One of the central questions of spatial reasoning research is whether the underlying processes are inherently visual, spatial, or logical. We applied the dual task interference paradigm to spatial reasoning problems in one dimension, using Allen’s interval calculus, in order to make progress towards resolving this argument. Our results indicate that spatial reasoning with interval relations is ...

let r be a commutative noetherian ring. we study the behavior of injectiveand at dimension of r-modules under the functors homr(-,-) and -×r-.

purpose some major competitions (e.g. london olympics, 2012) are scheduled during the ramadan fasting month. little attention has been given to explore the archers’ performance related subjective experiences with a qualitative method. therefore, this study addressed individual archers’ subjective experiences within the framework of self-regulation during ramadan. methods eleven elite malaysian ...
