Determinants of Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Empirical Study

by Robert J. Barro , 1996
"... Empirical findings for a panel of around 100 countries from 1960 to 1990 strongly support the general notion of conditional convergence. For a given starting level of real per capita GDP, the growth rate is enhanced by higher initial schooling and life expectancy, lower fertility, lower government c ..."

Reasoning the fast and frugal way: Models of bounded rationality.

by Gerd Gigerenzer , Daniel G Goldstein - Psychological Review, , 1996
"... Humans and animals make inferences about the world under limited time and knowledge. In contrast, many models of rational inference treat the mind as a Laplacean Demon, equipped with unlimited time, knowledge, and computational might. Following H. Simon's notion of satisncing, the authors have ..."

Monotone Complexity

by Michelangelo Grigni , Michael Sipser , 1990
"... We give a general complexity classification scheme for monotone computation, including monotone space-bounded and Turing machine models not previously considered. We propose monotone complexity classes including mAC i , mNC i , mLOGCFL, mBWBP , mL, mNL, mP , mBPP and mNP . We define a simple ..."

simple notion of monotone reducibility and exhibit complete problems. This provides a framework for stating existing results and asking new questions. We show that mNL (monotone nondeterministic log-space) is not closed under complementation, in contrast to Immerman's and Szelepcs &apos

Self-discrepancy: A theory relating self and affect

by E. Tory Higgins - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 1987
"... This article presents a theory of how different types of discrepancies between self-state representations are related to different kinds of emotional vulnerabilities. One domain of the self (actual; ideal; ought) and one standpoint on the self (own; significant other) constitute each type of self-st ..."

In contrast, discrepancies between

Dependent Types in Practical Programming

by Hongwei Xi, Dana Scott - In Proceedings of ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages , 1998
"... Programming is a notoriously error-prone process, and a great deal of evidence in practice has demonstrated that the use of a type system in a programming language can effectively detect program errors at compile-time. Moreover, some recent studies have indicated that the use of types can lead to si ..."

of designing a type system for practical programming in which a notion of dependent types is available, leading to more accurate capture of program invariants with types. In contrast to developing a type theory with dependent types and then designing upon it a functional programming language, we study

Approaching the notion of place by contrast

by Stephan Winter , Christian Freksa - Journal of Spatial Information Science , 2014
"... Abstract: Place is an elusive notion in geographic information science. This paper presents an approach to capture the notion of place by contrast. This approach is developed from cognitive concepts and the language that is used to describe places. It is complementary to those of coordinate-based s ..."

Adverbial doch and the notion of contrast∗

by Elena Karagjosova
"... The German adversative discourse marker doch is notoriously versatile in its uses and functions: it can be used as an adverb, conjunction, modal particle and response particle. Adverbial doch is always accented and can occupy the middle field or the initial field of the German sentence. In the latte ..."

the initial field (Duden 2005). The present paper evolves from a comparison of CA doch with the better understood conjunction doch and aims at reconsiling the following observations. First, CA doch marks a contrastive discourse relation that can only be interpreted in terms of concession, unlike

Generating query substitutions

by Rosie Jones, Benjamin Rey, Omid Madani - In WWW , 2006
"... We introduce the notion of query substitution, that is, generating a new query to replace a user’s original search query. Our technique uses modifications based on typical substitutions web searchers make to their queries. In this way the new query is strongly related to the original query, containi ..."

Termination of Term Rewriting Using Dependency Pairs

by Thomas Arts, Jürgen Giesl - Comput. Sci , 2000
"... We present techniques to prove termination and innermost termination of term rewriting systems automatically. In contrast to previous approaches, we do not compare left- and right-hand sides of rewrite rules, but introduce the notion of dependency pairs to compare left-hand sides with special subter ..."

The Generation Effect: Delineation of a Phenomenon

by Norman J. Slamecka, Peter Graf - Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory , 1978
"... Five experiments are reported comparing memory for words that were generated by the subjects themselves with the same words when they were simply presented to be read. In all cases, performance in the generate condition was superior to that in the read condition. This held for measures of cued and u ..."

We expect that once the phenomenon is described in its initial form, it will be the subject of wider experimental analysis and will eventually become better understood. In contrast
