PRACTICAL DIGITAL LITERACY: YOUTHS¿ PRACTICAL MASTERY OF PLATFORM EXPERIENCES
… this gap, the study introduces the concept of practical digital literacy, that is, a multidimensional practical mastery conceptualised through Pierre Bourduey’s theory of practice. Such knowledge comprises three interrelated dimensions: shared, dispositional, and structured. The research …

Practical artificial commonsense
… systems. In this dissertation, I offer a practical perspective on the problem of constructing systems with commonsense. Starting with philosophical underpinnings and working through formal models, object oriented design and implementation, I revisit prevailing assumptions with a pragmatic …

Practical pin tooling
… high resolution, reconfigurable mold could be a practical tool for a lean, short-run shop or factory, serving as a resin mold, fixturing surface or concrete formwork; to name only a few possible applications. Resembling the common pin art toy, a discrete element pin bed has often been proposed as …

Joint practical deliberation
Joint practical deliberation is the activity of deciding together what to do. In this dissertation, I argue that several speech acts that we can use to alter our moral obligations - promises, offers, requests, demands, commands, and agreements - are moves within joint practical deliberation. The …

Practical probabilistic inference
The design and use of expert systems for medical diagnosis remains an attractive goal. One such system, the Quick Medical Reference, Decision Theoretic (QMR-DT), is based on a Bayesian network. This very large-scale network models the appearance and manifestation of disease and has approximately …

Practical Identity and Meaninglessness
<p>While research on meaningfulnesss in life is becoming increasingly popular in analytic philosophy, there is still a dearth of literature on the topic of meaninglessness. This is surprising, given that a better understanding of the nature of meaninglessness may help to illuminate features of …

Towards Practical Predicate Analysis
Software model checking is a successful technique for automated program verification. Several of the most widely used approaches for software model checking are based on solving first-order-logic formulas over predicates using SMT solvers, e.g., predicate abstraction, bounded model checking, …

Practical localized waves generation
… in choosing the LWs design parameters. Due to practical limitations, the results of this research could not yet be experimentally verified; however, this research aims to provide a practically feasible method for LWs generation that avoids the shortcomings of previous techniques. In the study, …

Practical Analysis for Refactoring
This dissertation also examines techniques for using runtime analysis to assist refactoring, presents the design of the Refactoring Browser, a refactoring tool for Smalltatk that is used by commercial software developers, and identifies the criteria that are necessary for any refactoring tool to …

Toward Practical Inverse Scattering
Finally, the nature of superresolution in nonlinear inverse scattering is studied. The prospect of subwavelength resolution at optically large observation distances is investigated. A perfectly conducting tip is used to enhance reconstruction resolution. Thus, two conjectures as to how …

Practical knowledge and abilities
… facts. It is shown that there is a distinctively practical sort of know-how and a corresponding interpretation of 'S knows how to [phi]', and that this special sort of know-how, while possessing representational content, is not simply ordinary knowledge-that. The view rests on a novel distinction …

Practical Modern Quantum Programming
In this thesis we present a compiler for Cavy, an imperative quantum programming language. The main contribution of the Cavy system is the application of region inference to the problem of safe and efficient ancilla qubit allocation, use, and deallocation in a programming language with a reversible …
