Dragging as a Referential Resource for Mathematical Meaning Making in a Collaborative Dynamic Geometry Environment

2015-06-07
This paper focuses on the referential roles played by dragging moves on dynamic-geometry representations in a collaborative-geometry problem-solving context. Through an interaction analysis of chat excerpts where dragging is used by a team of students to explore the geometric properties of a given polygon, the paper investigates the role of dragging on the facilitation of joint mathematical meaning making online. Our qualitative findings suggest that the indexical properties of the dynamic constructions are specified and recalibrated through the coordination of dragging actions with textual chat, where the two types of actions mutually elaborate each other. © ISLS.

Dynamic performances of kinematically and dynamically adjustable planar mechanisms
İyiay, Erdinç; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, the dynamic performances of kinematically and dynamically adjustable planar mechanisms have been investigated. An adjustable mechanism is here defined to be a mechanism where some of the kinematic and/or dynamic parameters are changed in a controlled manner in order to optimize the dynamic behaviour of the mechanism in spite of variable operating conditions. Here, variable operating conditions refer to variable load(s) on the mechanism and/or variable desired input motion. The dynamic behavi...
CROSS-LEVEL TYPING THE LOGICAL FORM FOR OPEN-DOMAIN SEMANTIC PARSING
Öztürel, İsmet Adnan; Bozşahin, Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2022-8-29)
This thesis presents a novel approach to assigning types to expressive Discourse Representation Structure (DRS) meaning representations. In terms of linguistic analysis, our typing methodology couples together the representation of phenomena at the same level of analysis that was traditionally considered to belong to distinctive layers. In the thesis, we claim that the realisation of sub-lexical, lexical, sentence and discourse-level phenomena (such as tense, word sense, named entity class, thematic role, a...
Hilbert functions of gorenstein monomial curves
Topaloğlu Mete, Pınar; Arslan, Sefa Feza; Department of Mathematics (2005)
The aim of this thesis is to study the Hilbert function of a one-dimensional Gorenstein local ring of embedding dimension four in the case of monomial curves. We show that the Hilbert function is non-decreasing for some families of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. In order to prove this result, under some arithmetic assumptions on generators of the defining ideal, we determine the minimal generators of their tangent cones by using the standard basis and check the Cohen-Macaulayness of them. Lat...
A critical evaluation of Gricean reductive analysis of meaning
Dinçer, Şule Nur; Grünberg, David; Department of Philosophy (2019)
The aim of this thesis is to examine Paul Grice’s reductive analysis of the concept of non-natural meaning (meaningNN for short). The two stages of Grice’s reductive analysis will be outlined. The utterer’s meaning in the first stage and utterance-type meaning in the latter will be explained. The thesis will state the important objections and amendments in chronological order made by the selected philosopher, as well as – if available – Grice’s own response to the criticisms. We shall critically evaluate th...
Model theory of derivation spaces
Kasal, Özcan; Pierce, David; Department of Mathematics (2010)
In this thesis, the notion of the derivation spaces is introduced. In a suitable two-sorted language, the first order theory of these structures is studied. In particular, it is shown that the theory is not companionable. In the last section, the language is expanded by predicate symbols for a dependence relation. In this language it is shown that the extension of the corresponding theory has a model companion. It is shown that the model companion is a complete, unstable theory which does not eliminate quan...
