The Variety Of Returning Of The Statutory Nominal Sentence In The Holy Qur’An, Yas Khader Mohamed Ismail, Nafeh Alwan Bahloul Al-Jubouri Aug 2022

The Variety Of Returning Of The Statutory Nominal Sentence In The Holy Qur’An, Yas Khader Mohamed Ismail, Nafeh Alwan Bahloul Al-Jubouri

Journal of STEPS for Humanities and Social Sciences

The research reveals a textual problem related to the variety of returning of the statutory sentence to more than one place in the Holy Qur’an. Because the style of the Qur’an is miraculous and bears many meanings and faces, therefore it has the validity of the returning pronoun to various things to achieve the greatest deal of meanings, such as referring to the nearest or the farthest together, the spoken about, the non-dit, to singular referring to dual or plural, or to whatever has different semantic references, yet the context evidence is the decisive for its advantage in understanding the …

Relative Reward Effects On Operant Behavior: Incentive Contrast,Induction And Variety Effects, Howard Cromwell May 2015

Relative Reward Effects On Operant Behavior: Incentive Contrast,Induction And Variety Effects, Howard Cromwell

Howard Casey Cromwell

Comparing different rewards automatically produces dynamic relative outcome effects on behavior. Eachnew outcome exposure is to an updated version evaluated relative to alternatives. Relative reward effectsinclude incentive contrast, positive induction and variety effects. The present study utilized a novelbehavioral design to examine relative reward effects on a chain of operant behavior using auditory cues.Incentive contrast is the most often examined effect and focuses on increases or decreases in behavioralperformance after value upshifts (positive) or downshifts (negative) relative to another outcome. Weexamined the impact of comparing two reward outcomes in a repeated measures design with three ses-sions: a single outcome and …

Factor Analytic Mixed Models For The Provision Of Grower Information From National Crop Variety Testing Programs, Alison B. Smith, Aanandini Ganesalingam, Haydn Kuchel, Brian R. Cullis Jan 2015

Factor Analytic Mixed Models For The Provision Of Grower Information From National Crop Variety Testing Programs, Alison B. Smith, Aanandini Ganesalingam, Haydn Kuchel, Brian R. Cullis

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Crop variety testing programs are conducted in many countries world-wide. Within each program, data are combined across locations and seasons, and analysed in order to provide information to assist growers in choosing the best varieties for their conditions. Despite major advances in the statistical analysis of multi-environment trial data, such methodology has not been adopted within national variety testing programs. The most commonly used approach involves a variance component model that includes variety and environment main effects, and variety by environment ( VxE ) interaction effects. The variety predictions obtained from such an analysis, and subsequently reported to growers, are …


Multi-Phase Variety Trials Using Both Composite And Individual Replicate Samples: A Model-Based Design Approach, Alison B. Smith, David G. Butler, C R. Cavanagh, Brian R. Cullis Jan 2015

Multi-Phase Variety Trials Using Both Composite And Individual Replicate Samples: A Model-Based Design Approach, Alison B. Smith, David G. Butler, C R. Cavanagh, Brian R. Cullis

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The present paper provides an approach for the design and analysis of variety trials that are used to obtain quality trait data. These trials are multi-phase in nature, comprising a field phase followed by one or more laboratory phases. Typically the laboratory phases are costly relative to the field phase and this imposes a limit on the number of samples that can be tested. Historically, this has been achieved by sacrificing field replication, either by testing a single replicate plot for each variety or a single composite sample, obtained by combining material from several field replicates. An efficient statistical analysis …


Exact Travelling Wave Solutions Of A Variety Of Boussinesq-Like Equations, Jonu Lee, Rathinasamy Sakthivel Jan 2014

Exact Travelling Wave Solutions Of A Variety Of Boussinesq-Like Equations, Jonu Lee, Rathinasamy Sakthivel

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

In this paper, we obtain exact traveling wave solutions of a variety of Boussinesq-like equations by using two distinct methods with symbolic computation. The Boussinesq equations play an important role in physical applications, such as in nonlinear lattice waves, acoustic waves, iron sound waves in a plasma, and vibrations in a nonlinear string. More precisely, the modified tanh-coth method is employed to obtain single soliton solutions, and the extended Jacobi elliptic function method is applied to derive doubly periodic wave solutions. Further, it is shown that soliton solutions and triangular solutions can be established as the limits of the Jacobi …

Disability In A Technology-Driven Workplace, Susanne M. Bruyere Dr., William Erickson, Jennifer Schramm

Susanne Bruyère

New Internet and Web-based technology applications have meant significant cost and time efficiencies to many American businesses. However, many employers have not yet fully grasped the impact of these new information and communication technologies on applicants and employees with certain disabilities such as vision impairments, hearing problems or limited dexterity. Although not all applicants and employees who have a disability may experience IT-access problems, to select groups it can pose a needless barrier. The increasing dominance of IT in the workplace presents both a challenge and an opportunity for workers with disabilities and their employers. It will be up to …

Rivalry In Price And Variety Among Supermarket Retailers, Timothy J. Richards, Stephen F. Hamilton Aug 2006

Rivalry In Price And Variety Among Supermarket Retailers, Timothy J. Richards, Stephen F. Hamilton

Economics

Recent theoretical models of retail competition suggest that product heterogeneity is critical to retail price and variety strategies. This article provides empirical evidence on supermarket retailers' price and variety strategies using a nested constant elasticity of substitution (NCES) modeling framework. The model is estimated using chain-level scanner data for four major grocery chains in a large, urban West Coast market. The results show that retailers compete for market share using both price and variety. While they all tend to follow moderately cooperative pricing strategies, the extent to which they follow cooperative strategies in variety is less homogeneous.


The Response To Selection Of Different Procedures For The Analysis Of Early Generation Variety Trials, Brian R. Cullis, A. C. Gleeson, F. M. Thomson Jan 1992

The Response To Selection Of Different Procedures For The Analysis Of Early Generation Variety Trials, Brian R. Cullis, A. C. Gleeson, F. M. Thomson

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

A simulation study was conducted to determine the relative response to selection of a one-dimensional spatial analysis of field experiments (SAFE) specifically adapted for early generation trials. The primary purpose of the analysis in these trials is to obtain accurate estimates of genotypic effects of the unreplicated test lines by adjusting for local variation, using either the yields of all neighbouring plots or the yields of neighbouring plots of (replicated) check varieties. The response to selection of the SAFE analysis, relative to the use of unadjusted yields of test line plots, was consistently greater than the relative response to selection …
