“Contemporary standard” English policy and pseudo‐diversity among inner and outer circle assistant language teachers in Japan

open access: yesInternational 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.

Evaluation of the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate with and without cBD103 or cCath against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

open access: yesVeterinary 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 ...

Enhancing parental reflective functioning through early dyadic interventions: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesInfant 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 ...

A Comparative Study of Wind Tunnel Tests and Design Codes in Evaluation of Along‐Wind Effects on Towers

open access: yesShock 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:

Improved integral simplex using decomposition for the set partitioning problem

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2018
Integral simplex using decomposition (ISUD) is a method that efficiently solves set partitioning problems. It is an iterative method that starts from a known integer solution and moves through a sequence of integer solutions, decreasing the cost at each ...

Intersection cuts from multiple rows: a disjunctive programming approach

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2013
We address the issue of generating cutting planes for mixed integer programs from multiple rows of the simplex tableau with the tools of disjunctive programming.

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

open access: yesComputer 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.

Method for solving a convex integer programming problem

open access: yesInternational 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.

Solving the maximum edge-weight clique problem in sparse graphs with compact formulations

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2015
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 ...
