Abstract:
The present study examined the processing of unit fractions and the extent to which it is affected by context. Using a numerical comparison task we found evidence for a holistic representation of unit fractions when the immediate context of the fractions was emphasized, that is when the stimuli set included in addition to the unit fractions also the numbers 0 and 1. The holistic representation was indicated by the semantic congruity effect for comparisons of pairs of fractions and by the distance effect in comparisons of a fraction and 0 and 1. Consistent with previous results (Bonato, Fabbri,

Abstract:
Much of What We Know Today About the mathematics of ancient Egypt is contained in a papyrus scroll that was copied from an earlier scroll by the scribe Ahmes in about 1650 BME (before the modern era) (Boyer 1968). A fascinating feature of ancient Egyptian mathematics is its treatment of common fractions. In most cases, the Egyptians used only unit fractions, that is, fractions with numerators of 1. The one common exception is 2/3, and they would occasionally use fractions of the form n/(n + 1). However, both forms are complements of unit fractions.

The complexity of understanding unit fractions is often underappreciated in instruction. We introduce a continuum of children's understanding of unit fractions to explore this complexity and to help teachers make sense of children's strategies and recognize milestones in the development of unit-fraction understanding.

Abstract:
AbstractThe earliest interest rates in Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome were set not "economically" to reflect profit or productivity rates, but by the dictates of mathematical simplicity of calculation. The interest that was "born" calendrically did not take the form of young animals, but rather of the "unit fraction," the smallest unit fraction in each of the above fractional systems: 1/60th in the Mesopotamia, 1/10th in Greece, and 1/12th in Rome. The "birth" or "calf/kid" metaphor for interest thus referred to "baby fractions", not literally baby animals.

Also, most calorimeters are non-linear for hadronic shower detection. This is the essence of the so-called non-compensation problem, which has in practice major consequences f

The identified down-hole pressure is used to model the saddle-bearings axial displacements, which are indicative of polished-rod loading.

Abstract:
The proportional composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and minerals in a biomass plays a significant role in the proportion of pyrolysis products (bio-oil, char, and gases). Traditionally, the composition of biomass is chemically determined, which is a time consuming process. This paper presents the results of a preliminary investigation of a method using thermo-gravimetric analysis for predicting the fraction of cellulose and lignin in lignin-cellulose mixtures. The concept is based on a newly developed theory of Pyrolytic Unit Thermographs (PUT). The Pyrolytic Unit Thermograph (PUT
