The Use of Situation Theory in Context Modeling

At the heart of natural language processing is the understanding of context dependent meanings. This paper presents a preliminary model of formal contexts based on situation theory. It also gives a worked‐out example to show the use of contexts in lifting, i.e., how propositions holding in a particular context transform when they are moved to another context. This is useful in NLP applications where preserving meaning is a desideratum.     

Les dèterminants de la procrastination académique: Un modèle médiationnel du contexte familial et des processus du soi.

Connell and Wellborn proposed a model which posits that the social context influences the development of self system processes which in turn have an impact on school engagement. The purpose of the present study was to test the validity of the Connell and Wellborn's model in line with academic procrastination. The model suggests that self-determination in family activities (implication) and the quality of the relation between parents and their children (structure) are positively associated to children's self-system processes (competence, autonomy, and relatedness). Moreover, the model proposes that children's self-system processes are negatively related to academic procrastination. Participants were 100 families (father, other, and children) from the Quebec city area. Results from path analysis supported the model. Theoretical implications of the findings are discussed in line with Connell and Wellborn's model. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Development of a city‐type compact wind power generation system

It is necessary to use renewable energy, such as photovoltaic, wind power, and biomass energy, from the viewpoint of CO₂ regulation and environmental protection of the Earth. In recent years, the tendency is toward larger wind power generation systems to achieve cheaper electricity. Generators having capacities of 1500 kW to 2000 kW tend to dominate the market. However, a large wind power generation system has limitations in terms of location and can be installed only in the suburbs. At the same time, a city‐type compact wind power generation system, designed for city needs, has more flexibility and can be installed in the residential areas of a city. In this paper, we introduce an original control operation system called a “pump‐up” operation system, designed to effectively use the city wind, and report the results of its field test. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

南水北调中线工程与汉江中游襄樊市农业的持续发展

南水北调中线工程是指从汉江的上游丹江口水库引水供给华北地区,同时考虑鄂、豫两省汉江唐白河流域和淮河流域的需水要求的21世纪特大工程,是调整水资源的空间布局,解决我国北方缺水问题的紧迫任务。汉江中游襄樊是湖北省的农业大市,是全国商品粮棉油重要基地之一,也是湖北省的工业重地和汉江流域经济发展的中心。由于调水的影响,汉江丹江口以下的流量及季节性分配将发生变化,水质、水量、农业灌溉、工业生产以及城市发展等将受到不同程度的影响,更直接关系到汉江中游襄樊市农业产业的可持续发展。

An evolutionary psychological perspective on gender similarities and differences.

Comments on the article by J. S. Hyde (see record 2005-11115-001), which reviewed the results of 46 meta-analyses of studies investigating gender differences and produced results that supported the gender similarities hypothesis that men and women are similar along most psychological traits. The current authors agree with the gender similarities hypothesis but argue here that Hyde's review has limitations that caused it to underestimate the true extent of gender differences. They also outline the benefits of adopting an evolutionary psychological perspective on gender differences. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
