, or even useful (Stein, 1982, p. 662). The definition of an illusion as a belief that departs from reality presupposes an objective grasp of reality. This point puts us on the perilous brink of philosophical debate concerning whether one can ever know reality. Fortunately, at least to some degree
Linear Controller Design: Limits of Performance Via Convex Optimization
, 1990
"... this paper, we first give a very brief overview of control engineering. The goal of control engineering is to improve, or in some cases ena- ble, the performance of a system by the addition of sensors, which measure various signals in the system and external command signals, control processors, whic ..."

The designer develops mathematical models of the relevant aspects of system to be controlled. This can be done using knowl- edge
Application of hierarchical linear models to assessing change.
- Psychological Bulletin,
, 1987
"... Recent advances in the statistical theory of hierarchical linear models should enable important breakthroughs in the measurement of psychological change and the study of correlates of change. A two-stage model of change is proposed here. At the first, or within-subject stage, an individual's s ..."

Overall, we believe that the present study should allow us to better understand the psychological processes involved in dropping out of high school as well as provide a test of intrinsicextrinsic motivation theory and research
Towards Redesign based on Ontologies of Functional Concepts and Redesign Strategies
- Proc. of the 2nd International Workshop on Strategic Knowledge and Concept Formation
, 1999
"... This research aims at developing a redesign problem solver which proposes suitable modifications of a given artifact for a new requirement or an inconvenience. We concentrate on the two issues, capturing design rationales of the given artifact and organizing general redesign strategies. For the form ..."

Strategy-proofness versus Efficiency in Matching with Indifferences: Redesigning the NYC High School Match
, 2006
"... The design of the New York City (NYC) High School match involved tradeoffs between incentives and efficiency, because some schools are strategic players that rank students in order of preference, while others order students based on large priority classes. Therefore it is desirable for a mechanism t ..."
