A disjunctive analysis of neonatal approach stimulus prepotence
A disjunctive analysis technique was developed to investigate the relative importance of auditory and visual stimuli in eliciting initial approach and following responses in domestic fowl. 72 Canadian Athens random-bred chicks were tested at 24 or 36 hours post-hatch. A repetitive, tapping tone (4 …

On the Learnability of Disjunctive Normal Form Formulas and Decision Trees
The learnability of disjunctive normal form formulas and decision trees is investigated. Polynomial time algorithms are given, and nonlearnability results are obtained, for restricted versions of these general learning problems.

Disjunctive normal formula based supervisory control policy for general Petri nets
A Petri net (PN) is said to be live if it is possible to re any transition, although not immediately, from every reachable marking. A liveness enforcing supervisory policy (LESP) determines which controllable transition is to be prevented from ring at a marking, to ensure the supervised Petri net …

A logic for feature structures and unification with disjunctive and negative values
This dissertation proposes a unification-based formalism to provide a common basis for a computational realization of different linguistic theories, GPSG, HPSG, and LFG in particular, both as a means of theory testing and for the purpose of developing natural language processing systems. A logical …

Embeddings for Disjunctive Programs with Applications to Political Districting and Rectangle Packing
… and novel formulations for the underlying disjunctive program. Additionally, we investigate the poor performance of branch-and-cut on the example problems.

Relevance Thresholds: A Conjunctive/Disjunctive Model of End-User Cognition as an Evaluative Process
This investigation identifies end-user cognitive heuristics that facilitate judgment and evaluation during information retrieval (IR) system interactions. The study extends previous research surrounding relevance as a key construct for representing the value end-users ascribe to items retrieved …

The Obligatory Use of The Preposition a Plus Disjunctive Pronoun After Certain Verbs in French
There are at least thirty-five verbs in Modern French which do not accept the conjunctive (indirect object) pronoun marked {+human} under certain circumstances. These include so-called verbs of motion, e.g., je vais a lui, verbs like penser, e.g., je pense a lui, and verbal expressions like faire …

Investigating a leadership fix for a suboptimal mix: a transformational leadership intervention for teams with incompatible personalities
… task performance on both conjunctive and disjunctive tasks. To assess conjunctive task performance, participants performed an employee selection task, and to assess disjunctive task performance participants performed a NASA survival ranking task. Performance was measured against expert …

The exploratory Generalized Noisy Inputs, Deterministic “OR” gate model: A duality proof and application
… latent classes. Recent research applied disjunctive models to psychopathology questionnaires to support clinical diagnoses. We discuss a more general disjunctive model than used in previous research, the Generalized, Noisy Inputs, Deterministic ""OR'' Gate (GNIDO) model. We generalize the …

Modeling forest stand structure using geostatistics, geographic information systems, and remote sensing

These eight techniques were used to spatially interpolate the number of stems, total basal area, …

Grand Tour – a film in-debt(ed): Exploring the possibilities of the essayistic filmmaking form.
… of essayistic filmmaking, by exploring the disjunctive threads that make links with the past and open the present to new interpretations. The development of Grand Tour is grounded in multiple iterative prototypes. Based on this incremental research process, I explore the possibilities of …

Optimizing Queries with Disjunctions
… into query optimization, optimizing queries with disjunctive predicate expressions remains a challenge. Solutions employed by existing systems (if any) are often simplistic and lead to much redundant work being performed by the execution engine. In this thesis, we present a two-pronged approach to …

On Efficient Solution Methods for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear and Mixed-Integer Quadratic Optimization Problems
… we extend an efficient construction method for disjunctive cutting planes, such that it can be applied for MIQPs. Extensive numerical tests show, that the performance of a branch-and-bound solver can be significantly increased by exploiting warmstarts. Furthermore, it turns out, that in a …

Knowing the transcendent : analogous properties and speaking about God.
… or ways of being is an analogous or merely disjunctive property. In chapter four I identify two kinds of analogous unity that prevent a non-univocal property from being a merely disjunctive property. In chapter four I survey varieties of analogous unity through discussion with historical …

Effects of two procedural factors on group decision-making: Deliberation style and assigned decision rule
… applicable law required either a conjunctive or disjunctive assessment of key evidence (i.e., proving either all or at least one legal criterion) to render a verdict of liability. Under these task requirements, jury deliberation style, analogous to the verdict-driven/evidence-driven distinction …

Enhanced Mixed Integer Programming Techniques and Routing Problems
… results from the literature in the context of disjunctive cuts and their connections with Gomory mixed integer cuts. Chapter 3 presents a theoretical and computational investigation of disjunctive cuts. In particular, we analyze the connections between different normalization conditions (i.e., …

A Kleinian analysis of Lamentations
… illogical, unstable and contradictory, with disjunctive and unitary tendencies. There have been many attempts to define its tensions. They all have something interesting to say, but some are more persuasive than others. I read Lamentations as a lament over the severing of an individual’s bond …
