What happened next depends on your point of view The impetus of the quantitative revolution was partially absorbed by GIS which became the new repository of techniques in geography. At the same time, a number of GIS practitioners objected to portrayals of their field as a direct descendent of the quantitative revolution and as a "mere technique." This paper re-analyzes a spectrum of issues raised by critics during the past decade by incorporating knowledge and analyes of GIS scholars. Though many more sophisticated quantitative techniques were initially made available as subroutines with mapped output, few academics in GIS regard the technology as a direct descendant of the quantitative revolution. www.socsci.umn.edu /~bongman/gisoc99/new/schuurman.htm   (13048 words)

index M When children who had experienced the programme on exploratory talk were compared with other similar children in similar schools who had not had that experience (using a pre/post-test design), it was found that those who had the talk training made greater improvements in their individual performance on a test of reasoning (Raven's Progressive Matrices). The children interacted with and talked about the electronic books in a number of ways that can be considered as a learning cycle of demonstration, joint activity, supported activity, and individual reading. The main data consists of recordings and transcriptions of teacher-pupils interactions and pupil-pupil interactions, which is analysed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of discourse analysis. www.ped.gu.se /biorn/earli/conf/abstracts/abstractsM.html   (20103 words)

Imagination Engines, Inc., Inc....the future of all technology ...the future of mind Just prior to Thaler's talk, Bill, himself, preaching XP as the ultimate software application, is caught off-guard by a South Korean photographer. Thaler presented an invited talk at the World Knowledge Forum, in Seoul Korea, "TCPIP-Why Can't the Internet be a True World Brain?" The talk sharply contrasted with the forum's overall attitude that a library, distributed across the Internet, constituted a brain. Thaler presents a paper entitled " A Quantitative Model of Seminal Cognition: The Creativity Machine Paradigm " at the Mind II Conference in Dublin, Ireland. www.imagination-engines.com /history.htm   (1905 words)

Lingua Franca English: non-native-/ non-native-speaker discourse This article summarizes the findings of field-work carried out in 1991/1992, examining non-native speakers during small talk conversations. Even though it can clearly be argued that quantitative analyses alone cannot sufficiently explain communication and needs to be supplemented by qualitative analyses, I chose to work within the quantitative paradigm, as the native speaker data, which were available for comparison had been analyzed in the same vein. How does conversation differ from that of native speakers, when non-native interlocutors need to communicate with restricted linguistic resources, and when at the same time they operate in a situation where each one is uncertain about the others' norms and values. webdoc.gwdg.de /edoc/ia/eese/artic98/meierk/7_98.html   (235 words)

Marjorie K.M. Chan: "Gender Differences in the Chinese Language" Shen conducts a systematic, quantitative study of gender differences and analyzes such discourse variables as amount of speech, turn-taking and floors, interruptions (dominant vs. supportive), and functions of utterances (assertive vs. supportive). Statistically significant differences are found in the distribution of amount of talk by gender based on topic.

Anttila In this talk, I note that Optimality Theory predicts two kinds of quantitative patterns: those that are independent of rankings and could not be otherwise, and those that depend on rankings and are predicted to vary from one case to the next. I show that a small number of metrical constraints suffice to derive the observed quantitative patterns, independently of rankings. I illustrate this distinction from the metrical phonology of Finnish. www.cog.jhu.edu /Colloquia/Anttila.htm   (171 words)

Qualitative Research Overview - American Marketing Association - www.marketingpower.com Marketing research has traditionally been divided or classified into two types: qualitative and quantitative. When most people talk about qualitative marketing research, they are usually talking about focus groups. Quantitative research refers to studies involving 'a lot' of people. www.marketingpower.com /content1060.php   (637 words)

Why I Am Not an Austrian Economist Neoclassical economists go too far by purging meta-economics almost entirely, but there is certainly a reason to be suspicious of scholars who talk about economics without ever doing it. Economics is not, as ignorant positivists repeat again and again, backward because it is not "quantitative." It is not quantitative because there are no constants. By implication, Austrian methodological criticisms of neoclassical economics are often wide of the mark precisely because mainstream economists don't practice the methods they preach. www.gmu.edu /departments/economics/bcaplan/whyaust.htm   (10012 words)

SAB 2004 : abstracts In this talk, a neural model of neuromodulatory systems implicated in theprocessing of appetitive and aversive events is discussed in the context of the ongoing interactions of environment, behavior, and the development of synaptic connections in the model. Recently, a lot of researchers support the concept such that locomotion could be generated emergently by the non-linear dynamic system constructed by the neural system and the musculo-skeletal system through the interaction with the environment. We introduce a set of quantitative univariate and multivariate statistical measures that can be used to characterize the structure of sensory and motor data. www.nsi.edu /users/seth/SABabstracts.htm   (2151 words)

Session B13 - Numerical Relativity and Classical Gravity. Numerical simulations of these models are sufficiently accurate to allow precise comparison between predicted quantitative signatures of LMD and the actual behavior of the solutions. This talk is on a numerical simulation of the approach to the singularity with a scalar field as the matter. This talk includes a discussion of the excision scheme accompanied by results from numerically solving the ADM equations for a black hole while excising the singularity. flux.aps.org /meetings/YR01/APR01/abs/S280.html   (1787 words)

Department of Computer Science Colloquia This makes it an ideal semantic framework in which to seek to unify the analyses of both the qualitative (semantics) and the quantitative (complexity) aspects of computing systems, while keeping them separate. In this talk we shall give a survey of game semantics focussing on the full abstraction problem for PCF. Game semantics is a way of understanding computing and other interaction systems by using elementary ideas of game playing as conceptual and analytical tools. www.swan.ac.uk /compsci/collsem/abstracts/ong.html   (109 words)

Plan for 'retirement' career, Seagram's chairman advises students (12/98) Sponsors of Bronfman's talk were the newly organized Stanford Institute for the Quantitative Study of Society, the Career Management Center of the Graduate School of Business and a student group, B'nai Biz. Bronfman, 69, is still chairman of the Montreal-based global company that he took over when his father died in 1971, but he turned over the day-to-day operations to son Edgar Jr. Bronfman is president of the World Jewish Congress, which recently negotiated a settlement with Swiss banks to pay $1.25 billion into a fund for Holocaust survivors in restitution for money taken from Jews by the Nazis and deposited in Swiss banks during World War II. www.stanford.edu /group/news/relaged/981209bronfman.html   (904 words)

Book - Forensic Linguistics: Advances in Forensic Stylistics Forensic Linguistics: Advances in Forensic Stylistics documents current advances in this field, including quantitative methods of data analysis, a new way to provide scientific standardization, and new research directed at providing baseline data for determining the significance of style markers. Forensic Linguistics: Advances in Forensic Stylistics provides an introduction to the field for those who need to understand what linguist-witnesses do, and aids those experts who need to talk about what they do in non-technical terms. With the aid of forensic linguistics, the words criminals leave behind in their unsigned letters can be as distinctive as a signature or voice. www.focusonethics.com /forensiclinguistics.html   (316 words)

seminar.past.html In mathematical terms this non-computability often is an obstacle to obtain a quantitative stability analysis and rates of convergence. In this talk, I will show why the interaction between Model Theory and other parts of mathematics is very natural, and mention several examples of these interactions. Woodin proved that $\Sigma^2_1$ statements are absolute for set forcing between models of "ZFC+ CH + there are many large cardinals" (A $\Sigma^2_1$ statement is one which allows one existential quantification over sets of reals --- CH is a $\Sigma^2_1$ statement). www.math.cmu.edu /~rami/seminar.past.html   (4515 words)

Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For this type of function, one can talk about limits and derivatives; both are measurements of the output or the change in the output as it depends on the input or the change in the input. Functions are used in every quantitative science, to model relationships between all kinds of physical quantities — especially when one quantity is completely determined by another quantity. The number of computable functions from integers to integers is countable, because the number of possible algorithms is. The number of all functions from integers to integers is higher: the same as the cardinality of the real numbers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Function_(mathematics)   (3277 words)

Faculty Research Talks: Schilling-Estes In this talk, I outline the basic understandings and methods of variation analysis, or quantitative sociolinguistics, using research on the dying language variety of Smith Island, Maryland, as an illustration. Indeed, performative and playful linguistics usages may be especially important in endangered language communities, as the dying variety ceases to be used as a vehicle of daily communication and becomes more and more of an object of curiosity or 'object language.' www.georgetown.edu /departments/linguistics/news/S-ETalk.htm   (108 words)

PAG-XI-W117: FARM ANIMAL GENOME MAPPING DATABASE DEVELOPMENT AT ROSLIN INSTITUTE Farm animal genome research has always followed pragmatic routes, concentrating its resources initially on linkage and other 'landmark' mapping methods, then using the outputs from these coarse mapping methods to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) in various species under many different experimental and production conditions. In this talk, I will firstly highlight some of our existing systems and then discuss a prototype of a new system we believe will be instrumental in meeting this challenge. Roslin Institute, Roslin, Midlothian, EH25 9PS, Scotland, UK Although the human and mouse genomes are sequenced, and the popular press and many others proudly trumpet the arrival of the post-genomics era, it is clear that for farm animals at least we are still firmly in the genomics age. www.intlpag.org /11/abstracts/W19_W117_XI.html   (283 words)

Quantitative Evaluation of Contamination Consequences (QECC) The goal of the Quantitative Evaluation of Contamination Consequences (QECC) project is to quantitatively relate workplace surface and airborne contamination levels, both radioactive and chemical, to intakes and doses. Talk presented at DOE 1999 Data Analysis Forum aponsored by the office of Environment, Safety and Health, Office of Operating Experience Analysis and Feedback, January 26-28, 1999, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Analysis of Informatic Phenomena: Research seminars All of these are part of a single, and it would appear, more complete, picture of physical reality, which favours the qualitative rather than the quantitative. In this talk we introduce the domain of classical states, which has Shannon entropy as a measurement. For example, the Birkhoff-Von Neumann contrast, between classical and quantum, which arises in the logical aspect, lives in perfect harmony with the notions of Shannon and Von Neumann entropy. web.comlab.ox.ac.uk /oucl/seminars-ht02/extra/coecke.html   (406 words)

The Global Research Village - programme His main research topics include: research performance assessments by bibliometric methods, mapping of science and technology and the science and technology interface, the construction of science and technology information systems based on advanced bibliometric methods, and science as a "self-organising ecosystem". Recently he received, together with the American sociologist Robert K. Merton, the Derek de Solla Price Award 1995, the highest international award in the field of quantitative studies of science. The talk will give a brief history of the Web and its relation to the Internet and try to list areas where society will have to pay attention. www.fsk.dk /fsk/publ/1996/oecd-pgm/afs3.htm   (1428 words)

Post-structuralism The essential methodological error which is common to positivism, structuralism and post-structuralism is the inability to perceive the essence of processes and to understand and distinguish between Essence and the abstract quantitative reflection of the data of perception; the inability to work with true Notions rather than abstract universals. On this basis of identity, structuralism was able to perceive regularity in history, to talk of periods, influence, the impact of events on whole social structures, and so on and so forth. Structuralism understood that the world was formed in the system of objects known to a culture, and that this world of objects corresponded to the social relations with which a people made their living in the world. home.mira.net /~andy/works/foucaul1.htm   (2584 words)

Learning Pragmatics from ESL & EFL Textbooks: How Likely? Instruction metalanguage refers to language that gives usage or topical information about a particular form, i.e., information about a grammatical form that does not involve linguistic description of that form: "Small talk is informal conversation with friends and acquaintances at school, on the job, or on social occasions" (Passages, 1998, p. This paper reports on a qualitative and quantitative study of 8 English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks to determine the amount and quality of pragmatic information included. The effect of metalanguage as learner input cannot be fully determined; however, textbook metalanguage serves as a poor model for pragmatically appropriate speech act realization. www-writing.berkeley.edu /TESL-EJ/ej30/a3.html   (6797 words)
