in this paper, we discuss the ways that communication accommodation theory (cat) can be a useful framework for understanding and diagnosing interactional issues in interpersonal and intergroup conflict situations. we argue that the theory’s construct of attuning strategies provides a multidimensional view of mutual adjustment, leading to insights relevant to successful versus unsuccessful confl...

An analytical version of the discrete-ordinates method is used to solve the classical problems of Poiseuille +ow and thermal-creep +ow in a plane channel. The kinetic theory for the rare4ed-gas +ow is based on the S model (a generalization of the BGK model), and in addition to the use of the di9use–specular re+ection model (based on a single accommodation coe:cient) for describing particle scat...

Based on fuzzy control and sliding mode observer technique, a fault accommodation strategy is proposed for near space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) with actuator fault in this study. Firstly, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is implemented to represent the NSHV nonlinear dynamics, and a bank of sliding mode observers are designed for the established T-S model, which are used to generate the resi...

PURPOSE To assess objective and subjective methods to measure accommodation in a young human population. SETTING Research laboratory, University of Houston, College of Optometry, Houston, Texas, USA. METHODS Accommodation was measured in the right eye of 15 young subjects (9 women and 6 men) whose ages ranged from 23 to 28 years and 1 36-year-old subject. The mean age of all subjects was 26...

Aims: Impaired gastric accommodation is a major pathophysiological mechanism in functional dyspepsia. The aim of the present work was to assess a satiety drinking test in the evaluation of accommodation in health and dyspepsia. Methods: Twenty five controls and 37 severely dyspeptic patients seen at a tertiary care centre completed a dyspepsia questionnaire, and gastric emptying and gastric bar...

The advent of peer-to-peer accommodation sharing platforms, like Airbnb, has ushered in a new era in travel worldwide. However, to ensure sustainability in the long term, information asymmetry inherent to such platforms has to be tackled. Currently, accommodation sharing platforms offer a multitude of in-built trust-enhancing cues that may reduce information asymmetry, signal trust and aid pote...

The private tourism accommodation concept has not been largely represented in the scientific research. It started appearing on the margins of the actual research in the past ten years, namely with a hotel as the most analyzed form of tourism accommodation. In the structure of tourism accommodation in Croatia in 2011 private accommodation participated with 465 000 beds which represents 49,8 perc...

We report results of lexical accommodation studies involving three different interpretation settings: human-human monolingual; human-interpreted bilingual; and machine-interpreted bilingual. We found significant accommodation in all three conversational settings, with the highest rate in the human-interpreted setting. There is evidence for longrange mutual accommodation in that setting, as comp...

Convergence-accommodation, one of several cross-linkages in the oculomotor system is manifested by opening the accommodative feedback loop and increasing the vergence input. We elicited this response in human infants aged 3-6 months by placing a 15 delta prism (base-out) before one eye while they viewed a diffuse patch of light. Accommodation was measured and ocular alignment was confirmed with...

Myopes demonstrated larger accommodation error for near visual targets than emmetropes. This study was to investigate the comparison of accommodation error among myopes with different color component of visual targets. Four different colored rectilinear crosses; black, blue, green and red, on white background were used as visual target at the distance of 40 cm (+2.50 Diopter of accommodation de...
