Mathematical techniques in proof writing can be narrowed down to specific proof styles. Simply put, proofs can be direct or indirect- the latter using the Law of the Excluded Middle from logic as well as the axiom of Choice, to prove existence of mathematical objects. However, the thinking skills involved in writing indirect proofs are prone to errors, especially from novice proof writers such as ...

El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar por qué el español y otras lenguas admiten complementos de tiempo construidos como sintagmas nominales sin preposición. Propondremos que el motivo es que la estructura tempoaspectual de la cláusula se define en la espina dorsal del árbol sintáctico, lo cual hace innecesario emplear un elemento relacional para construir ese significado: el sintagma es un argumento ...

In this article we travel through theorizing towards what we think Indigenous knowledge does, and how it works and gets presented, by using the concept of the pluriverse. As three researchers concerned with Indigenous studies, we ask how we create and share stories that bring us together in communities and become possible to be shared in the inter-existence of multiple worlds. With locally embedded ...

Background and aims - Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a debilitating condition and analgesics have limited effect. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis is thus still in use although the clinical evidence is lacking. We present a randomized, controlled study to assess the clinical efficacy of cryoneurolysis compared with a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic. <p> <p>Methods - In a university-based ...

Maritime safety is a critical concern due to the potential for serious consequences or accidents for the crew, passengers, environment, and assets resulting from navigation errors or unsafe acts. Traditional training methods face challenges in the rapidly evolving maritime industry, and innovative training methods are being explored. This study explores the use of wearable sensors with biosignal ...

Part of the toolkit of language researchers is formed of stimuli that have been rated on various dimensions. The current study presents modality exclusivity norms for 336 properties and 411 concepts in Dutch. Forty-two respondents rated the auditory, haptic, and visual strength of these words. Mean scores were then computed, yielding acceptable reliability values. Measures of modality exclusivity ...

Derek Attridge says of James Joyce that one can never be a first-time reader of that authors work.1 The same can be said of Mary Shelley, particularly with regard to her first novel, Frankenstein: Or The Modern Prometheus. There cannot be many readers who come to it without prior ideas of what to expect. Images of the creature pervade popular culture, and most English readers know Victors tale of ...

Laboratory experiments provide knowledge of species-specific effects thresholds that are used to parameterize impact assessment models of oil contamination on marine ecosystems. Such experiments typically place individuals of species and life stages in tanks with different contaminant concentrations. Exposure concentrations are usually fixed, and the individuals experience a shock treatment being ...

Linguistic relativity is the influence of language on other realms of cognition. For instance, the way movement is expressed in a person’s native language may influence how they perceive movement. Motion event encoding (MEE) is usually framed as a typological dichotomy. Path-in-verb languages tend to encode path information within the verb (e.g., ‘leave’), whereas manner-in-verb languages encode ...
