G.: Toulmin diagrams in theory & practice: Theory neutrality in argument representation
- The Uses of Argument: Proceedings of a Conference at McMaster University, 18–21 May 2005, OSSA
, 2005
"... ABSTRACT The Toulmin diagram layout is very familiar and widely used, particularly in the teaching of critical thinking skills. The conventional box-and-arrow diagram is equally familiar and widespread. Translation between the two throws up a number of interesting challenges. Some of these challeng ..."

. These three classes of problems are discussed. To the first class are addressed solutions based on engineering pragmatism; to the second class, are addressed solutions drawn from the appropriate literature; and to the third class, fuller exploration is offered justifying the approaches taken in developing
The properties of the hot gas in galaxy groups and clusters from 1D hydrodynamical simulations - I. Cosmological infall models, MNRAS 289
, 1997
"... We report the results of 1-D hydrodynamical modelling of the evolution of gas in galaxy clusters. We have incorporated many of the effects missing from earlier 1-D treatments: improved modelling of the dark matter and galaxy distributions, cosmologically realistic evolution of the cluster potential, ..."

are (1) improved spatial resolution within the cooling flow region, (2) much faster execution time, allowing a fuller exploration of parameter space, and (3) the inclusion of additional physics. In the present paper, we explore the development of infall models – in which gas relaxes into a deepening
The author explores the issue onto the agenda: Predictivity vs. Stipulativity in the Lexicon
"... this paper that the capture of syntactic and semantic generalizations about word use must be balanced with the need to accurately reflect individual word usage. That is, idiosyncrasies associated with word use must be recorded in the lexicon in addition to any generalizations, in order to explain p ..."

The approach I follow suggests that an acknowledgement of the influence of lexical conventionalisation and pragmatic reasoning on interpretation can lead to models which provide a fuller
Universal Relativity: An Exploration of the Universal Morality vs. Cultural Relativism Debate
"... With this paper I will address the challenge posed to the whole human rights project by the current debate between what are typically called ‘universalist ’ and ‘relativist ’ positions. In summary, I suggest that the debate suffers from an essential failure to recognize the different positions taken ..."

that the human rights movement as a whole can nevertheless benefit substantially from a fuller engagement with the numerous valid points brought up by each position if those holding fast to one position or the other can recognize the good and bad in each. Finally, I argue that a conceptual shift on the part
Exploring Online Teaching: A Three-Year Composite Journal of Concerns and Strategies from Online Instructors
"... Using Fuller’s concerns-based model for teacher development, this study identifies concerns and strategies experienced by 103 online instructors in a six-week online professional development course offered multiple times over a three-year period. The study reveals that online instructors identified ..."

Genetic algorithms and scatter search: unsuspected potentials
- Statistics and Computing
, 1994
"... We provide a tutorial survey of connections between genetic algorithms and scatter search that have useful implications for developing new methods for optimization problems. The links between these approaches are rooted in principles underlying mathematical relaxations, which became inherited and ex ..."

and extended by scatter search. Hybrid methods incorporating elements of genetic algorithms and scatter search are beginning to be explored in the literature, and we demonstrate that the opportunity exists to develop more advanced procedures that make fuller use of scatter search strategies and their recent
Semantic Vector Products: Some Initial Investigations
"... Semantic vector models have proven their worth in a number of natural language applications whose goals can be accomplished by modelling individual semantic concepts and measuring similarities between them. By comparison, the area of semantic compositionality in these models has so far remained unde ..."

underdeveloped. This will be a crucial hurdle for semantic vector models: in order to play a fuller part in the modelling of human language, these models will need some way of modelling the way in which single concepts are put together to form more complex conceptual structures. This paper explores some
Exploring the future of out-of-core computing with compute-local non-volatile memory 1
, 2014
"... Abstract. Drawing parallels to the rise of general purpose graphical processing units (GPGPUs) as accelerators for specific high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, there is a rise in the use of non-volatile memory (NVM) as accelerators for I/O-intensive scientific applications. However, existin ..."

, existing works have explored use of NVM within dedicated I/O nodes, which are distant from the compute nodes that actually need such acceleration. As NVM bandwidth begins to out-pace point-to-point network capacity, we argue for the need to break from the archetype of completely separated storage
What Mental States? Exploring How Dimensionality Reduction Might Contribute to the Refinement of Cognitive Models
"... Questions in cognitive neuroscience are often framed in terms of correspondences between known types: How is brain state X related to cognitive state Y? What are the correlations or mappings between particular structures and functions? Such framings are well suited for confirmatory testing of coarse ..."

of coarse-grained hypotheses. They are not necessarily informative, however, for the purpose of exploring finer physical and functional structure. To the contrary, physical states are typically aggregated over anatomical regions of interest, while tasks are designed to optimize one or a few functional
Field biology of placozoans (Trichoplax ): distribution, diversity, biotic interactions

Synopsis The goal of this review is to highlight what little is known, and point to the bulk of what is yet to be learned, about the natural history of placozoans in the field—in order to stimulate a broader search for placozoans and a fuller exploration of their distribution, diversity, and all oth ..."
