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.

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 ...

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 ...

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:

Optimal recombination in genetic algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems: Part II
: This paper surveys results on complexity of the optimal recombination problem (ORP), which consists in finding the best possible offspring as a result of a recombination operator in a genetic algorithm, given two parent solutions.

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COMBINED ROUTING AND LOADING PROBLEMS
: Transportation problems involving routing and loading at the same time are currently a hot topic in combinatorial optimization. The interest of researchers and practitioners is motivated by the intrinsic difficulty of this research area, which combines

Nash equilibria sets in mixed extension of 2x2x2 games [PDF]
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.

Solving the maximum edge-weight clique problem in sparse graphs with compact formulations
This paper studies the behavior of compact formulations for solving the maximum edge-weight clique (MEWC) problem in sparse graphs. The MEWC problem has long been discussed in the literature, but mostly addressing complete graphs, with or without a ...

An exact approach for the multi-constraint graph partitioning problem
In this work, a multi-constraint graph partitioning problem is introduced. The input is an undirected graph with costs on the edges and multiple weights on the nodes. The problem calls for a partition of the node set into a fixed number of clusters, such
