Pliability and Approximating Max-CSPs [PDF]
Journal of the ACM, 2023 We identify a sufficient condition, treewidth-pliability , that gives a polynomial-time algorithm for an arbitrarily good approximation of the optimal value in a large class of Max-2-CSPs parameterised by the class of allowed constraint graphs (with arbitrary constraints on an unbounded alphabet). Our result applies

Culture Moderates the Pliability of Ambivalent Attitudes [PDF]
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2011 Ambivalent attitudes are comprised of conflicting components. In response to this evaluative conflict, North Americans are more likely to change high ambivalent attitudes than low ambivalent attitudes. However, East Asians exhibit greater tolerance for inconsistencies than do North Americans.

PLIABILITY AS AN EXPERIENTIAL QUALITY: EXPLORING THE AESTHETICS OF INTERACTION DESIGN [PDF]
Artifact, 2007 Digital design materials are temporal as much as they are spatial, which means that specific concepts are needed for understanding the use experiences of digital artifacts and the aesthetics of interaction design. In this paper, the quality of pliability is introduced to characterize the degree to which interaction feels involving, malleable, and ...

The effect of topically applied tissue expanders on radial forearm skin pliability: A prospective self-controlled study [PDF]
Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2014 Background The use of pre-operatively applied topical tissue expansion tapes have previously demonstrated increased rates of primary closure of radial forearm free flap donor sites.

Pliability, or the Whitney extension theorem for curves in Carnot groups [PDF]
Analysis & PDE, 2017 The Whitney extension theorem is a classical result in analysis giving a necessary and sufficient condition for a function defined on a closed set to be extendable to the whole space with a given class of regularity. It has been adapted to several settings, among which the one of Carnot groups. However, the target space has generally been assumed to be

What is a Psychological Task? The Operational Pliability of “Task” in Psychological Laboratory Experimentation [PDF]
Engaging Science, Technology, and Society, 2019 There has been no sustained sociological analysis of a near ubiquitous feature of psychological laboratory experimentation: the task. Yet the task is central in arranging the means by which phenomena are isolated and brought into the experimental ...

Pliability and deflection of diagnostic catheters [PDF]
Orvosi Hetilap, 2014 Introduction: The cardiac catheter is an intravascular catheter, which is introduced or implanted into the heart for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. The catheters may break or king during their introduction and/or removal. Aim: The aim of the authors was to study the pliability of two catheters with the same material but different diameters ...

Michigan Law Review, 2002 In 1543, the Polish astronomer, Nicolas Copernicus, determined the heliocentric design of the solar system. Copernicus was motivated in large part by the conviction that Claudius Ptolemy's geocentric astronomical model, which dominated scientific thought at that time, was too incoherent, complex, and convoluted to be true.

On pliability of del Pezzo fibrations and Cox rings [PDF]
Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal), 2014 Abstract We develop some concrete methods to build Sarkisov links, starting from Mori fibre spaces. This is done by studying low rank Cox rings and their properties. As part of this development, we give an algorithm to construct explicitly the coarse moduli space of a toric Deligne–Mumford stack.

Technical note: Real-time sonoelastography evaluation of achilles tendon [PDF]
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2011 Sonoelastography (SE) is a new USG-based technique that is being used to assess the elasticity and pliability of various tissues and lesions. We evaluated normal and abnormal Achilles tendons and correlated SE findings with those of high-resolution USG ...
