Die poësie van Ingrid Jonker
… van sy uitsprake kom ek in my bespreking van Rook en oker terug en konstateer hy o.m. dat "in haar beste (werk) Ingrid Jonker haar eie individualiteit en persoonlikheid, haar eie stem (het)" (p. 53). Hy vind "die beste van Ingrid Jonker se gedigte eersterangs", en meen dat "in Rook en oker … …

Topics In Probabilistic Combinatorics
… discussed. Chapter 4 introduces a generalized rook polynomial first studied by J. Goldman et al. Central and local limit theorems are then proven for certain classes of the generalized rook polynomial. Special cases include known central and local limit theorems for the Stirling numbers of the …

The sociality, ontogeny, and function of corvid post-conflict affiliation
… in many mammals but only in two bird species: rooks and ravens. Consequently, the prevalence and function of avian post-conflict affiliation is unknown. My objectives were to expand the study of post-conflict affiliation to more bird species and examine two potential functions of this …

Online Impulse Buying Behavior with Apparel Products: Relationships with Apparel Involvement, Website Attributes, and Product Category/Price
… a number of hedonic desires (Piron 1991; Rook & Fisher 1995; Thompson, Locander, & Pollio 1990). Impulse buyers exhibited greater feelings of amusement, delight, enthusiasm, and joy (Weinberg & Gottwald, 1982) and often felt uplifted or energized after a shopping experience that involves …

A Cornucopia Of Labeled Diagrams And Their Generating Polynomials
… we conjecture a bijection between tableaux and rook boards, which spurs some further exploration of quasi-Yamanouchi tableaux as combinatorial objects of their own merit. We then move to the general polynomial ring and two of its bases, key and lock polynomials. These are each generating …

Examining the intersections of age, race, and mental health through linguistic analysis
… images of women at different life stages (Rook-Phenis & Scott, 2019). A theme analysis of the previous archival data was also undertaken. Results demonstrated differences in themes and stereotypical language between descriptions of the younger versus older woman based on age and other …

Pagenumber problem.
… models are considered namely the square and rook models. We have given a unified framework for all three pagenumber models, in which a solution is a pair of two permutations (of nodes and edges), and which differ only by criteria for edge intersections. Experimental results on several kinds …

Permutation Patterns, Reduced Decompositions with Few Repetitions and the Bruhat Order
… the Bruhat order for the symmetric group and the rook monoid which is a generalization of the symmetric group. Finally, motivated by coding theory, the concepts of displacement, additive stretch and multiplicative stretch of permutations are introduced. These concepts are then analyzed with …

Representation of Knowledge for Chess Endgames Towards a Self-Improving System
… algorithms are given for two endgames, King and Rook against King (KRK) and King and Pawn against King (KPK) using this model. It is argued that both algorithms are reasonably natural and compact representations and experiments in refining these algorithms are described in detail. In both cases, …

The moderating influence of social factors in impulsive buying behaviour: development of a scale to measure social and non-social impulsive buying tendencies
… than the existing buying impulsiveness scale (Rook & Fisher, 1995). These findings suggest that the social scale could be used alongside an existing impulsive buying tendency scale to record consumers' social and non-social impulsivity. Among the implications of these findings is that …

The Occurrence and Control of Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) in Two Water Treatment Plants Utilizing the Same Source
… has been increasing since the early studies by Rook on trihalomethanes (THMs) (Stevens, 1977). Work conducted in the 1980s identified the existence of nonvolatile halogenated organics (non-THM organics), of which the majority produced by chlorination were haloacetic acids (HAAs), within the …

SALUTE the KIDS - A Recognition Program For Children of the Army National Guard Soldiers
Military children experience long periods of separation from a parent. The parent/parents choose to dedicate themselves to our country through the military, but the children don't have a choice. Children need to be recognized for their sacrifices and time lost. This project will research the need …

Responsible resettlement: implementing the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in the context of mining induced displacement and resettlement
Mining-induced displacement and resettlement is a high-risk activity that has an inherent potential to impact the human rights of those affected. However, current models of international best practice in resettlement, based on guidelines developed by International Financial Institutions, do not …

A comparative analysis of auditory perception in songbirds: Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) and great tits (Parus major)
… call, and display interest in kin, stranger and rook (*Corvus frugilegus*) calls but not in a neutral control call. Chapters 6 and 7 focus on how the auditory recognition of predators develops in great tits and whether great tit nestlings are able to recognise predatory calls directly. Nestlings …

I See, Therefore I Think - The Role of Observed Realities on Cognition in Rooks (Corvus frugilegus) and African Grey Parrots (Psittacus erithacus)

Combinatorics of colored factorizations, flow polytopes and of matrices over finite fields
… of permutations with restricted positions (i.e., rook placements). Extending a result of Haglund, we show that when the set of entries is a skew Young diagram, the numbers, up to a power of q - 1, are polynomials with nonnegative coefficients. We apply this result to the case when the set of …
