Rational Powers in Action presents a conception of instrumental rationality as governing actions that are extended in time with indeterminate ends. Tenenbaum argues that previous philosophical theories in this area, in focusing on momentary snapshots of the mind of idealized agents, miss central aspects of human rationality.

Abstract:Rigorous experimental analysis of the effect of oral reading rate on comprehension has only recently been performed. There is still controversy over which rate of oral reading maximizes comprehension and retention. Inflection and how it interacts with rate of oral reading have received very little attention.This study sought to determine how oral reading rate, when approximating functional conversational speech (150 to 200 words/minut...

It's been months since the destruction of Sapere's village forced the survivors to flee into the Wild, where her secret was discovered and her Council struggles to keep the remains of her tribe alive. Surviving the attack, the flood, the Wild itself is proof that they have grown stronger as a people. Even in their new campsite they feel safe and comfortable... too comfortable.

But something went wrong when Sapere was born, because she has her family's gift and she shouldn't. When Sapere's village is attacked the night of her wedding, the survivors flee to the Wild in hope of finding refuge in a dangerous place filled with deadly predators. Out here, Sapere feels like an outsider on the precipice of two wo...

Excerpt from Type Determination for Very High Level LanguagesMany very high level languages are declaration free so that an identifier appearing in a program in such a language need not refer to objects of specific data type. Moreover, the semantic meaning of an Operator symbol may depend on the dynamic types of its operands. This may cause such languages to be interpreted rather than compiled. In the present thesis, we present two methods whi...

Provides a self contained, thorough introduction to the analytic and probabilistic methods of number theory. The prerequisites being reduced to classical contents of undergraduate courses, it offers to students and young researchers a systematic and consistent account on the subject. It is also a convenient tool for professional mathematicians, who may use it for basic references concerning many fundamental topics.

Most Sub-Saharan African countries try to promote rural electrification through both centralised and decentralised approaches. This guide focuses on the decentralised approach, providing practical guidance on how small power producers and mini-grid operators can deliver both electrification and renewable energy in rural areas. It describes four basic types of on- and off-grid small power producers, as well as several hybrid combinations that a...

The author’s unique, methodological approach also helps students to develop their problem-solving, abstract thinki...

‘, We desire all and only those things we conceive to be good, we avoid what we conceive to be bad.’, This slogan was once the standard view of the relationship between desire or motivation and rational evaluation. Many critics have rejected this scholastic formula as either trivial or wrong. It appears to be trivial if we just define the good as ‘, what we want’, , and wrong if we consider apparent conflicts between what w...
