International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 260-274, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Assistant language teachers (ALTs) in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program are composed of 90% of Inner Circle ALTs and 10% of rigorously screened Outer Circle JET ALTs, who are hired under the Education Ministry's “contemporary standard” (i.e., American) English policy.

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 17-e6, February 2022., 2022 Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 21-34, January/February 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 This study aims to estimate the wind loads acting on a tower structure by comparing and reviewing design codes and the results of wind tunnel tests. To this end, the modal properties of the tower were identified through short‐term on‐site measurements of the Busan Tower in Korea. The wind load acting on the tower was calculated using four design codes:

Method for solving a convex integer programming problem
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 44, Page 2829-2834, 2003., 2003 We consider a convex integer program which is a nonlinear version of the assignment problem. This problem is reformulated as an equivalent problem. An algorithm for solving the original problem is suggested which is based on solving the simple assignment problem via some of known algorithms.

Nash equilibria sets in mixed extension of 2x2x2 games [PDF]
Computer Science Journal of Moldova, 2005 We describe the Nash equilibria set as an intersection of graphs of players' best responses. The problem of Nash equilibria set construction for three-person extended 2 2 2 games is studied.

Influence of Embankments with Parapets on the Cross-Wind Turbulence Intensity at the Contact Wire of Railway Overheads [PDF]
, 2010 Winds as an environmental factor can cause significant difficulties for the railway system operation. The railway overhead has been particularly vulnerable to cross-winds related problems, such as development of undamped oscillations due to galloping ...

Network flow optimization for restoration of images
Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 199-218, 2002., 2002 The network flow optimization approach is offered for restoration of gray‐scale and color images corrupted by noise. The Ising models are used as a statistical background of the proposed method. We present the new multiresolution network flow minimum cut algorithm, which is especially efficient in identification of the maximum a posteriori (MAP ...

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 811-814, 1988., 1988 This paper suggests a method of formulating any nonlinear integer programming problem, with any number of constraints, as an equivalent single constraint problem, thus reducing the dimensionality of the associated dynamic programming problem.

Quasi-stability of a vector trajectorial problem with non-linear partial criteria [PDF]
Computer Science Journal of Moldova, 2003 Multi-objective (vector) combinatorial problem of finding the Pareto set with four kinds of non-linear partial criteria is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions of that kind of stability of the problem (quasi-stability) are obtained.
