An Overview of Collapsibility

2004

Collapsing over variables is a necessary procedure in much empirical research. Consequences are yet not always properly evaluated. In this paper, different definitions of collapsibility (simple, strict, strong, etc.) and corresponding necessary and sufficient conditions are reviewed and evaluated. We point out the relevance and limitations of the main contributions within a unifying interpretative framework. We deem such work to be useful since the debate on the topic has often developed in terms that are neither focused nor clear.

Collapsibility and Collapsing Multidimensional Contingency Tables—Perspectives and Implications

2000

Collapsing multidimensional contingency tables is a necessary procedure in all kinds of research. Since collapsibility is subject to severe conditions, collapsing is often not admissible without incurring severe interpretative errors. After having discussed the main contributions to the statistical specification of the concept, we shall point out the logical conditions for collapsing multidimensional contingency tables.

Convencionalismo ético en deporte D’Agostino y Morgan en torno a las reglas y convenciones en deporte

2015

In this paper we propose a comparison of the position of D’Agostino with other representatives of convention: William Morgan. We refer to D’Agostino’s position in the first section and in the second section to Morgan’s. We ask whether Morgan, moreover of register his thesis within the Conventionalism, participates also of the internalist conception of sport. Although both authors are conventionalists, there are many different shades that fit between their positions be

Staying at the front line in learning research is challenging because many fields are rapidly developing. One such field is research on the temporal aspects of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). To obtain an overview of these fields, systematic literature reviews can capture patterns of existing research. However, conducting systematic literature reviews is time-consuming and do not reveal future developments in the field. This study proposes a machine learning method based on topic modelling that takes articles from a systematic literature review on the temporal aspects of CSCL (49 original articles published before 2019) as a starting point to describe the most recent deve…

Serial versus parallel columns using isocratic elution: a comparison of multi-column approaches in mono-dimensional liquid chromatography.

2015

Abstract When a new separation problem is faced with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the analysis is addressed conventionally with a single column, trying to find out a single experimental condition aimed to resolve all compounds. However, in practice, the system selectivity may be insufficient to achieve full resolution. When a separation fails, the usual practice consists of introducing drastic changes in the chromatographic system (e.g. use of another column, solvent or pH). An alternative solution is taking benefit of the combined separation capability of two or more columns, which can be attained in multiple ways, such as diverse modalities of two-dimensional HPLC, or mo…

Analyzing Large-Scale Crowd Simulations for Building Evacuation

2010

Animated virtual crowds have been used last years for analyzing human factors in scenarios where masses of people gather. A typical example is building evacuation in case of fire. Scalability still remains as an open issue for these multiagent systems applications. In this paper, we use a scalable architecture to simulate a large-scale version of a virtual crowd in a building evacuation. From the social point of view, the results provided by the large-scale version of the crowd add new and crucial information about the agents behavior, emphasizing the need for a small amount of trained leaders in order to save lives. From the system point of view, the results show that the trend of avatars …

“Lições do mestre“: da tradução como viagem e da literatura como direito

2019

Combining critical perspectivation and personal account, I hope to offer a retrospective on my experience with the thought of Antonio Candido and a contribution to what we could consider his legacy. First I talk about my translation of a selection of his essays to German for an anthology published in 2005, about the translator’s readings and reflections, which serve as a starting point for rethinking some fundamental issues of Candido’s thought, such as the critical task of teaching and studying literature, also the question of literature’s social (ir)relevance in our days, as analyzed in the famous essay “O direito a literatura” (“The right to literature”, 1988).

Target frames in British hotel websites

2015

This article centres on four-word phrase frames in British hospitality websites. Our aim is to identify those frames that are specific to this website genre, which we call target frames. Each phrase frame represents an identical sequence of words except for one variable word, that is A*BC or AB*D. The words that fill the slot, marked with an asterisk, are called fillers. We used a corpus-driven approach using KfNgram software to identify the phrase frames in our corpus (COMETVAL). We regard phrase frames as genre-specific when they are significantly more frequent than those found in the written section of the BNC, which represents General British English. We further filtered our selection o…
