A study of transitivity in Xhosa
This study is an explicit description of transitivity in Xhosa. The introductory chapter {Chapter One) outlines relevant theories relating to the issue of transitivity. The controversies surrounding transitivity and grammatical relations in general are noted. Special emphasis is put on Hopper and …

Auto -Calibration of Machine Tools Exploiting Redundancy, Transitivity, and Error Projection
The third part of this work explores the possibility of employing single dimensional measurements in estimating parameters of an error model that has been developed for multi-dimensional measurements. A mechanism of decomposing single dimensional measurement into multi-dimensional components is …

Constructing social reality in conversation : a generic and transitivity analysis of life history texts
… resources of speech genre, story type, and transitivity offer structural options to speakers but also introduce constraints. Using Fairclough's Foucauldian conception of 'orders of discourse', I establish that life history interviews are a unique hybrid of genre types that draw on …

Conditional Discrimination and Stimulus Equivalence: Effects of Suppressing Derived Symmetrical Responses on the Emergence of Transitivity.
… Symmetry suppression slowed the emergence of transitivity for two subjects and prevented it for the other three. Results indicated that unplanned features of stimulus configurations emerged as discriminative variables that controlled selection responses and altered the function of consequent …

The Acquisition of Morphosyntactic Properties of English Compounding and Transitivity Alternations by L1 Speakers of Libyan Arabic
Three central topics that have been at the heart of research into second language (L2) acquisition over the past 30 years are the extent to which properties of a speaker’s first language (L1) transfer into their L2 mental grammars, the extent to which L2 learners’ mental grammars are constrained by …

Information Diffusion on Social Networks
… type of graph generator, the iterated local transitivity model, is examined. We study how the dynamics of the game change as the graph grows, and the relationship between properties of the game on a graph initially and properties of the game later in the graph’s development. We show that, …

Do infants selectively imitate a transitive and an intransitive agent?
… use of 16-month-old infants' understanding of transitivity of choices among objects (i.e., if an agent chooses A>B, B>C, then A>C) and further explored whether the transitivity of an agents' choices can also be used as an indicator of reliability to influence infant's imitative learning of a …

Bell inequalities in cardinality-based similarity measurement
… is introduced, and the Lukasiewicz- and product-transitivity properties are also studied. Fuzzification schemes based on a commutative quasi-copula are then used to transform these similarity and inclusion measures for ordinary sets into similarity and inclusion measures for fuzzy sets on a …

Desire, belief, and conditional belief
… pump arguments, which purport to show that the transitivity of preference and indifference is a requirement of instrumental reason. Instead, I argue that Humeans should treat the constraints of decision theory as constitutive of the nature of preferences. Additionally, I argue that transitivity …

Characterising the structural brain connectome in Alzheimer's disease and its relation to cognitive intra-individual variability.
… there were regions with altered nodal strength, transitivity, and local efficiency relative to the controls' connectome. Conversely to many studies, we found increases in nodal efficiency across multiple regions and higher global efficiency in AD patients compared to healthy elderly controls. …

A within-subject comparison of stimulus equivalence training.
… for derived relations (symmetry, reflexivity, transitivity, and symmetrical transitivity). The present experiment seeks to extend the research on stimulus equivalence training structures by using a within-subject design and adult human subjects. Three sets of 9 arbitrary stimuli were trained …

Conjugation in abstract semigroups
… open problem. Kudryavtseva proved that transitivity holds for completely regular semigroups, and more recently Araújo et al. proved that transitivity also holds in the variants of completely regular semigroups. They did this by introducing a variety W of epigroups containing all …

Rings with a Not Necessarily Transitive Order Relation
… relation on a ring except, perhaps, for one: transitivity. Consequently, many of the results presented here are generalizations of well-known facts about transitively ordered rings; and most, but not all, of the conclusions of this paper are applicable to such rings.</p>

Efficient testing of actor programs with non-deterministic behaviors
… transitions with an interesting property: transitivity. We propose a novel dynamic POR technique, TransDPOR, that exploits the transitivity of the dependency relation in actor systems. Empirical results show that leveraging transitivity speeds up exploration by up to two orders of magnitude …

Selected topics in Limos Kalinga grammar
… The relationship between the focus affixes and transitivity is of particular interest, as a transitivity continuum emerges along the lines of that proposed by Hopper and Thompson (1980) .The next major section of the Grammar describes both verbal and non-verbal . syntax, including subject and …

Rationality or irrationality of preferences? Quantitative tests of decision theories
… prefers x to y and y to z must prefer x to z. Transitivity of preferences is a very fundamental element of utility and plays an important role in many major contemporary theories of decision making under risk or uncertainty. One has to be very careful about claiming violations of transitivity …

Omega-Limit Sets of Discrete Dynamical Systems
… interest is the property of internal chain transitivity, and we present several characterizations of omega-limit sets in terms of this property. In so doing, we will often focus our attention on the property of pseudo-orbit tracing (shadowing), which plays a central role in many of the …
