Judicious imitation : children differentially imitate deterministically and probabilistically effective actions
Three studies look at whether the assumption of causal determinism (the assumption that all else being equal, causes generate effects deterministically) affects children's imitation of modeled actions. We show that, even when the frequency of an effect is matched, both preschoolers and toddlers …

Idealism in Spinoza’s Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Ethics: A Friendly and Judicious Revision to the Active/Passive Distinction as Solution to Spinoza’s Attribute and Parallelism Problems
<p>Spinoza’s doctrine of parallelism admits of certain observed inconsistencies that have long troubled Spinoza scholars. The scholarship over the last one hundred and thirty years or so has offered three dominant interpretations of Spinoza’s metaphysics as a result of the deficiencies with the …

The development of a Geographic information system for environmental monitoring on the Cape Peninsula, and an assessment of the use of spot imagery for vegetation mapping
… former is seen as a necessary tool to promote judicious conservation management decisions for the fragile "Fynbos" ecosystem, and the latter as a convenient means of acquiring up-to-date information concerning the environment, and to monitor change.

Steric aspects of the interaction of metal species with nucleic acid constituents
… model systems has been carried out by way of judicious ligand design.

A mixed methods exploration of antibiotic prescribing and stewardship
… and mortality. Interventions aimed at promoting judicious use of antibiotics, such as prescribing guidelines, are often ineffective. Approaching the problem of overprescribing from new perspectives is key to making progress towards more effective antimicrobial stewardship. Exploring …

The figure of Christ in the works of Oscar Wilde
… case of Oscar Wilde, has often interfered with a judicious assessment of his writings--writings that inscribe, as I hope my text demonstrates, a valuable response to certain pressing ethical and aesthetic issues in a complex fin-de-siecle climate of blurred and shifting values.

Nitroalkene (4+2) cycloadditions of achiral and chiral vinyl ethers. The stereochemical consequence of the Lewis acid promoter and studies toward the total synthesis of (+)-pretazettine
… auxiliary of a single absolute configuration by judicious selection of the Lewis acid promoter, Ti(Oi-Pr)$\sb{2}$Cl$\sb{2}$ (98% ee, ($-$)) or methylaluminum bis-(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (MAPh) (93% ee, (+)). Propenyl ethers derived from ($-$)-6 undergo endo-selective (4+2) cycloadditions …

User-centered design of a fertilizer recommendation system for smallholder farmers
… nutrient management (SSNM), which call for judicious use of fertilizer based on frequent soil testing. However, inadequate soil testing capacity and lack of access to information act as barriers to its adoption.

Antenna beamforming for infrastructureless wireless networks
… Moreover, in some cases that we outline, judicious scheduling of user transmissions can increase achievable data rates.

Modélisation, simulation et contrôle d’un cycle de Rankine organique en régime dynamique.
… source’s characteristics are variables, it is judicious to be able to simulate the dynamic behavior of the system. The suggested model focuses mainly on dynamic behaviour of heat exchangers. A first model in steady state is primarily proposed and validated. The dynamic model is then described …

Towards a cognitive network management and control system
… and control system, require timely and judicious collection of network state information. Within this context we will focus on the problem of shortest path routing, and identify pragmatic schemes that allow a central controller to collect relevant delay statistics from various links and …

Principles of Instruction-Level Distributed Processing
… through a program. This can be used to achieve a judicious allocation of execution resources to instructions, with performance-critical instructions being shielded from the distributed machine's execution constraints; only the least important instructions, which can tolerate some delay, need be …

Self-Tuning Methods for Multiple-Controller Systems
… game problems. These adaptive solutions, after a judicious transformation, resemble closely the implicit self-tuning solution for the single-controller single-objective case, and thus preserve the salient and advantageous features of self-tuning methods--simplicity and easy implementation. In …

Growth and characterization of centimeter-sized crystals of pyridine dodecasil-3C
… optimization of reaction conditions coupled with judicious choice of silica sources, conditions were found that minimize the effects of Ostwald's rule of successive transformations allowing for the growth of large, high-purity crystals of the metastable zeolite. The twinning present in pyridine …

Ludwik Fleck and his concept of a scientific fact
… turn to his other philosophical works. A more judicious picture of Fleck and his concept of a scientific fact is provided by this analysis even though, I conclude, his approach remains philosophically unsatisfactory.

Comparison of energy consumption with regard to type and percentage of glazing, location and orientation in classroom spaces
Much of the art of daylighting lies in the judicious placement of windows in relation to the interior, in order to achieve the desired levels of illumination and view. Studies have shown that the glazing size, location and type all impact the internal energy loads. Schools are incorporating …

Ring-Opening of Aziridine -2 -Carboxamides by Carbohydrate C1-O Nucleophiles. Stereoselective Preparation of O-Linked Glycopeptides
… the alpha- or beta-glycoside can be accessed by judicious selection of solvent and metal counter-ion, even in the presence of the native carbohydrate C2-NHAc group. Other classes of 0-glycosyl serine constructs, such as the beta-GlcNAc-Ser and alpha-Man-Ser linkages, are also prepared by this …

The economic and financial policies of local governments in South Africa : a theoretical analysis
