Oppsala Chart Processor is a l inguistic processor for phonological, morphological, and syntactic analysis. I t incorporates the basic mechanisms of the General Syntactic Processor. Linguistic rules as well as dictionary articles are presented to the processor in a procedural formalism, the UCP-formelism. The control of the processing rests upon the grammar and the dictionaries. Special attenti...

We study the domain wall structure in thin uniaxial ferromagnetic films in the presence of an in-plane applied external field in the direction normal to the easy axis. Using the reduced one-dimensional thin-film micromagnetic model, we analyse the critical points of the obtained non-local variational problem. We prove that the minimizer of the one-dimensional energy functional in the form of th...

In this paper, we propose the development of a web-based, intelligent instruction system to help elementary school students for mathematical computation. We concentrate on the intelligence facilities which support diagnosis and advice. The existing web-based instruction systems merely give information on whether the learners’ replies are ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’, and only offer evaluations of t...

Predicting the future can be a risky business, but predicting the future of nuclear disarmament is especially difficult, linked as it is to the core security concerns of very powerful countries. Not only is the subject imperfectly defined but it is constantly evolving under the influence of forces that are too numerous and too complex to allow for any confident projections. Yet because the issu...

We present numerical simulations of a model of coupling between a inviscid compressible fluid and a pointwise particle. The particle is seen as a moving interface, through which interface conditions are prescribed. Key points are to impose those conditions at the numerical level, and to deal with the coupling between an ordinary and a partial differential equations.

Current IT literature emphasizes the importance of adopting a governance strategy based on an organization’s customer market, and inherent technology and personnel capabilities. However, practical experience has shown that many organizations with sound strategies fail, often because the strategies are not aligned with IT project tactics or individual priorities. This paper explores the idea of ...

In this response to Burt Neuborne’s Who’s Afraid of the Human Rights Commission, the author seeks to challenge many of the assumptions underlying Neuborne’s model calling for increased focus on preventative measures by the Human Rights Commission. In Part I, the author addresses Neuborne’s moral arguments and concludes that he undermines the ability of sanctions to deter future conduct. In Part...
