Explanation and Quasi-Miracles in Narrative Understanding: The Case of Poetic Justice
(2018-01-29)David Lewis introduced the idea of a quasi-miracle to overcome a problem in his initial account of counterfactuals. Here we put the notion of a quasi-miracle to a different and new use, showing that it offers a novel account ... -
The explanatory power of Chomsky's transformational generative grammar
(1974)One of the main difficulties in Chomsky's account of generative grammars and linguistic theories is to determine what exactly these grammars and theories explain. In some places Chomsky seems to be saying that they explain ... -
Explicit design formulas for current-mode leap-frog OTA-C filters and 300 MHz CMOS seventh-order linear phase filter
(2010)The leap-frog (LF) configuration is an important structure in analogue filter design. Voltage-mode LF OTA-C filters have recently been studied in the literature; however, general explicit formulas do not exist for current-mode ... -
Explicit generation of unitary transformations in a single atom or molecule
(2000)A constructive procedure for generating a prescribed unitary transform via the optically driven evolution of a multilevel atom is described. Assuming a clean separation of the coupled levels, the procedure employs the ... -
An explicitly declared delayed-branch mechanism for a superscalar architecture
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)One of the main obstacles to exploiting the fine-grained parallelism that is available in general-purpose code is the frequency of branches that cause unpredictable changes in the control flow of a program at run-time. ... -
Exploitation of antimicrobial nanoparticles and their applications in biomedical engineering
(2021-05-15)Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health which contributes largely to increased mortality rates and costs in hospitals. The severe and wide spread of antibiotic resistance results in limited treatment to ... -
Exploitation of immunofluorescence for the quantification and characterization of small numbers of Pasteuria endospores
(2006-12)The Pasteuria group of endospore-forming bacteria has been studied as a biocontrol agent of plant-parasitic nematodes. Techniques have been developed for its detection and quantification in soil samples, and these mainly ... -
Exploiting Abstract Syntax Trees to Locate Software Defects
(2015-08-26)Context. Software defect prediction aims to reduce the large costs involved with faults in a software system. A wide range of traditional software metrics have been evaluated as potential defect indicators. These traditional ... -
Exploiting Aging Benefits for the Design of Reliable Drowsy Cache Memories
(2017-07-19)In this paper, we show how beneficial effects of aging on static power consumption can be exploited to design reliable drowsy cache memories adopting dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) to reduce static power. First, we develop ... -
Exploiting BP & ISR in the Sri Lankan contect: an action research project
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997)The action research project described in this report is an example of the exploitation of business process and information systems reengineering (BP&ISR) in Sri Lanka, and covers the reengineering of two processes at OrgPML, ... -
Exploiting genomics to improve the biological control potential of Pasteuria spp., an organisms with potential to control plant-parasitic nematodes
(2014-11)The Pasteuria group of Gram positive bacteria are invertebrate parasites with the potential to be developed into biological control agents of plant-parasitic nematodes. A key step in the infection process is the attachment ... -
Exploiting plume structure to decode gas source distance using metal-oxide gas sensors
(2016-11-01)Estimating the distance of a gas source is important in many applications of chemical sensing, like e.g. environmental monitoring, or chemically-guided robot navigation. If an estimation of the gas concentration at the ... -
Exploiting statistical characteristics of word sequences for the efficient coding of speech.
(Chinese Information Processing Society of China, 1999)Characteristics of natural language can be illuminated through the application of well known tools in Information Theory. This paper shows how some of these characteristics can be exploited in the development of automated ... -
Exploiting the antiviral potential of intermetallic nanoparticles
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-09)Viral pandemic outbreaks cause a significant burden on global health as well as healthcare expenditure. The use of antiviral agents not only reduces the spread of viral pathogens but also diminishes the likelihood of them ... -
An Exploration of Barriers and Facilitators to Risk Assessment in Mental Health Professionals
(2016-04-14)The decisions made by Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) are of utmost significance for providing the highest quality care to service users. The assessment of risk is one of the pivotal processes that MHPs undertake ... -
An exploration of eating behaviours and caregiver mealtime actions of children with Tourette syndrome
(2022-09-07)Food avoidant behaviours are common concerns amongst individuals with Tourette syndrome, with high levels of food selectivity reported in children and food neophobia and avoidant restrictive eating behaviours in adults. ...
