For several decades, Restoration studies have noted deficiencies in the treatment of the theology of leadership and of practical ecclesiology. This paper responds to the lack of research linking ecclesiology to organizational design and to the theology of leadership in the Church of Christ tradition by building upon the ecclesiological framework composed of theological tradition, church metapho...

In this note we use a functional approach to the integral to obtain a special case of the Keisler-Fubini theorem; the general case can be obtained with a similar proof. An immediate appUcation is the standard Fubini theorem for products of Radon measures. Similar methods give the Weil formula for quotient groups of compact Abelian groups.

Intuitively, reflection is the feature that can represent and reason meta-level entities at the object level. In this paper, we use a reflective language to implement a local model checker and analyze the implementation. The implementation is greatly simplified by reflection. Further, we show the feature can be applied to verify the concise implementation rather easily. The simplicity of our ap...

Many natural objects, and in general layered materials, have non-linear reflection behaviour along the wavelengths. An accurate representation of phenomena such as interference and colour separation generally requires a fine spectral representation of light instead of the commonly used RGB components. In this article, we introduce and experiment with a general approach to create similar and con...

In the history of adoption research, subjective norm mostly remains as the unloved child, being significant in this analysis and not significant in that analysis. Already Davis et al. had to exclude subjective norm of the Technology Acceptance Model due to theoretical and measurement problems. Overall the results of subjective norm as an antecedent for behavioral intention in IS research are qu...

Marchenko imaging can produce seismic reflection images in which artifacts related to multiples are suppressed. However, in state-of-the-art implementations, multiples do not contribute to the imaged reflectors. With an “event-byevent” deconvolution imaging approach, it is possible to use multiples in Marchenko imaging. We illustrate this for a 1D reflection response in which the primary reflec...

To obtain realistic models for propagation channels in future picocellular indoor terahertz communication systems it is necessary to know the reflective properties of building materials found in a typical office environment. The angular dependent reflection coefficients of different building materials were determined using terahertz timedomain spectroscopy in transmission geometry and Fresnel’s...

This paper presents a new technique, which we call depth-preserving reflection mapping, to render mirror-like reflections on planar surfaces in constant time. It is a hybrid solution which combines geometry-based rendering and imagebased rendering into a two-pass mirror reflection rendering approach. The technique extends the traditional reflection mapping to preserve depth per texel and uses f...

The main result of the paper is a natural construction of the spherical subalgebra in a symplectic reflection algebra associated with a wreath-product in terms of quantum hamiltonian reduction of an algebra of differential operators on a representation space of an extended Dynkin quiver. The existence of such a construction has been conjectured in [EG]. We also present a new approach to reflect...

This paper introduces novel ways of improving awareness and reflection through visualizations of badges as an abstraction of learning analytics data. We report initial findings with both a personal dashboard approach, Navi Badgeboard, that provides details on student and class progress, and a collaborative, interactive tabletop visualization, Navi Surface, to promote group reflection. We evalua...
