Explores two contrasting views: does meta-analysis provide " objective, quantitative methods for combining evidence from separate but similar studies " or merely " statistical tricks which make unjustified assumptions in producing oversimplified generalisations out of a complex of disparate studies "?

These assumptions, required for the development of a general theory of brand selection and brand purchase, are problematic, because the resultant theories tend either to misunderstand or to ignore the “ irrational ” element in the behaviour of the person-as-consumer ; and because conspicuous consumption is a behaviour predominantly “ psychological ” in motivation and expression, Therefore, a comprehensive general theory would require a separate construct for the psychological elements of the socio-economic phenomenon that is conspicuous consumption.

Fathers have been less commonly primary caregiver in the past, presumably due to assumptions that a child from two separate parents is better off with the mother than the father, but this scenario has shifted in recent years.

Much of the confusion between these two research communities ( which do often have separate conferences and separate journals, ECML PKDD being a major exception ) comes from the basic assumptions they work with: in machine learning, performance is usually evaluated with respect to the ability to reproduce known knowledge, while in KDD the key task is the discovery of previously unknown knowledge.

A further problem is that bugs can also easily be introduced by assumptions and design choices made in the separate sources that no longer apply when placed in a new environment.

The linear assumptions underlying UH theory allows for the variation in storm intensity over time ( i. e., the storm hyetograph ) to be simulated by applying the principles of superposition and proportionality to separate storm components to determine the resulting cumulative hydrograph.

Furthermore, catalytic reactors require separate treatment, whether they are batch, CST, or PF reactors, as the many assumptions of the simpler models are not valid.

Basic ideas of universal history are so prevalent that they are difficult to separate from basic Western assumptions of how the world is or should be.

In some texts these symbols are simply shown in bold type: blackboard bold in fact originated from the attempt to write bold letters on blackboards in a way that clearly differentiated them from non-bold letters, and then made its way back in print form as a separate style from ordinary bold, possibly starting with the original 1965 edition of Gunning and Rossi's textbook on complex analysis.

Each combination of a textbook and supplemental items receives a separate ISBN.

Critique by Fritz Lehman: Given that this book is intended as a textbook for Pakistani undergraduates, Shaikh Ahmed Sarhindi predictably appears as the chief preserver of separate Islamic identity in India, yet only a very general and most inadequate description of his ideas and his influence is given.

Many of the features that made listing media items such as CDs & DVDs quick and easy have been integrated into eBay, but eBay chose to keep Half. com running separate primarily for the textbook market.

* Take notes or make illustrations in the margins, or, if it is a textbook you shouldn't be writing in, put them in a separate notebook.

For some applications, a single alpha channel is not sufficient: a stained-glass window, for instance, requires a separate transparency channel for each RGB channel to model the red transparency, green transparency, and blue transparency.

The first model looked like the later IBM PC ( which came on the market years later ), a rectangular base unit with two floppy drives on the front, and a monitor on top with a separate detachable keyboard.

* Several models of participation are possible: firstly, a model in which the employees form part of the supervisory board or of the administrative board, as the case may be ; secondly, a model in which the employees are represented by a separate body ; and finally, other models to be agreed between the management or administrative boards of the founder companies and the employees or their representatives in those companies, the level of information and consultation being the same as in the case of the second model.

Although the inclusion of cognitive appraisal as one of the elements is slightly controversial, since some theorists make the assumption that emotion and cognition are separate but interacting systems, the component processing model provides a sequence of events that effectively describes the coordination involved during an emotional episode.

Besides the suit with the two separate arm attachments, a meter high model and a puppet of Kong ( used for closeups ) were also built.

English has fairly simple morphology, especially inflectional morphology, and thus it is often possible to ignore this task entirely and simply model all possible forms of a word ( e. g. " open, opens, opened, opening ") as separate words.

This allowed the model ( later used by Unix ) of separate read-only shareable code segment ( normally the high segment ) and read-write data / stack segment ( normally the low segment ).

Quake 3 is one of the first games where the third-person model is able to look up and down and around as the head, torso and legs are separate.

RISC designs are also more likely to feature a Harvard memory model, where the instruction stream and the data stream are conceptually separated ; this means that modifying the memory where code is held might not have any effect on the instructions executed by the processor ( because the CPU has a separate instruction and data cache ), at least until a special synchronization instruction is issued.

Under this model, the state is divided into branches, each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility so that no branch has more power than the other branches.

The smaller models ( up to the model 50 ) had integrated channels, while for the larger models ( model 65 and above ) the channels were large separate units in separate cabinets, such as the IBM 2860 and 2870.

* James Watt makes a breakthrough in the development of the steam engine by constructing a model with a separate condenser.

This led to the development of a two-dimensional gender identity model, in which masculinity and femininity were conceptualized as two separate, orthogonal dimensions, coexisting in varying degrees within an individual.

An Ethernet switch operates at the data link layer of the OSI model to create a separate collision domain for each switch port.

Rather than using one model to predict how many customers will churn, a business could build a separate model for each region and customer type.

And there was a rejection by younger home-owners of the standard suburban model of separate kitchens and dining rooms found in most 1900-1950 houses.

The Cutlass was initially the top model of the F-85 line but became a separate model by 1964 with the F-85 nameplate continued only on the lowest priced models through the 1972 model year, after which all Oldsmobile intermediates were Cutlasses.

Be aware that the absence of a separate title for a prince of the blood may not always mean no such title exists ; alternatively, the existence of a word does not imply there is also a reality in the linguistic territory concerned ; it may very well be used exclusively to render titles in other languages, regardless whether there is a historical link with any ( which often means that linguistic tradition is adopted )

In contrast, the pro-Taiwan independence Democratic Progressive Party use the term " China ", referring to the PRC, to imply that Taiwan is separate from China.

However, the Supreme Court has nevertheless ruled since 1950 that such bodies may in fact limit the distribution of materials, if such a limitation is not based on the content of those materials and does not imply a complete impediment to any separate means of distribution.

This need not imply that one's mind is all that exists, as with solipsism, but rather that the distinction between " I am " and " it is " is ultimately unnecessary, and a burden that, paradoxically, gives rise to an illusory sense of permanence and independence — that " separate " self which suffers and dies.

From time to time proposals have been made to separate the church from the state, which would imply an amendment of § 2 of the constitution.

" Unity " was an ambiguous term because it could imply either the maintenance of separate national identities but a higher stage of mutual attraction or similarity between nationalities, or the total disappearance of ethnic differences.

The term " exceptionalism " can imply criticism of a tendency to remain separate from others.

Such vortices can be relatively stable patterns within a continuous flow, but such an analysis does not imply that the flow patterns have any sharp division, or that they are literally separate and independently existent entities ; rather, they are most fundamentally undivided.

Such titles were usually ethnographic, not geographical ( i. e. Dacicus meant " victorious over the Dacians ", not " victorious in Dacia ") The existence of a separate victory-title for the Carpi may imply that the Romans did not consider the Carpi to be ethnic-Dacians.

This conflicted with the official views of the Church of Scotland as set out in the Confession of Faith, which can be summarised thus: ( 1 ) Church and State are distinct and separate institutions, both being accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ who has received all authority in heaven and earth from the Father ; ( 2 ) the mutually helpful relationship between Church and State does not imply subordination of one to the other in its own sphere ; and, in particular, the civil authorities have no jurisdiction or authoritative control in the spiritual affairs of Christ's Church.

* Glub-Frequently used in place of " God ," " Glub " is sometimes simply a direct replacement for the Abrahamic God, but is also sometimes spoken of as either a separate cruel, misanthropic deity, as a cruel, misanthropic aspect of God, or simply to imply that the Abrahamic God is cruel and misanthropic.
