Introduction: Motivation and Constitutionality

This introduction sets forth the key questions regarding motivation and constitutionality that scholars must answer in order to develop a complete theory of motivational inquiry in constitutional law. The author begins by discussing the theoretical overview of the motivation/effects problem. The author discusses effects theories of constitutional law, motivation theories, relevant motives in both, and the problem of motive in collective bodies. The author then examines Simon\u27s theory of motivation and the equal protection clause, which is that the equal protection clause\u27s central meaning is prohibiting racially prejudiced governmental actions

Introduction, motivation, and methods

This chapter begins by raising the book’s main question: what makes some cities attractive to people who think of themselves as progressive, liberal, and egalitarians, and what makes some cities less attractive to such people? In other words, what makes a city (more of) a city of equals? It then explains why this is an interesting question and how equality in the city differs from equality in the state. Finally, the authors explain the method—combining philosophical reasoning with interviews with city dwellers—which the authors adopted in pursuit of their theory of what makes a city a city of equals

Cargese Lectures on the Kerr/CFT Correspondence

Modern Concepts of Financial and Non-Financial Motivation of Service Industries Staff

In modern conditions the questions of personnel management, including motivation, acquire new meaning. Particularly given the problems relevant to the service sector, where at the beginning of the XXI century employing more than 60% of the workforce in developed countries. These circumstances determine the need for a modern concept of material and immaterial motivation of service industries. Such factors determine the need for the development modern concept of material and immaterial motivation of service industries staff. To obtain indicated objective during research analyzed the existing concepts and paradigm of staff motivation with highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. The results obtained allowed to establish that scientific and expert community does not have the unified approach to the classification and identification of the most effective ones. Special attention is given to modern developments and approaches to the motivation problem. This fact caused the structure of follow studies, including three interlinked vectors: analysis of the essential content of the fundamental concepts in the field of staff motivation; defining features of employee motivation at the enterprises sphere of services; introduction to the key successful international practices which apply by service companies. In general, the results obtained enabled the author’s model of the modern concept of material and non-material motivation at the enterprises the service sector and the corresponding mechanism for the implementation

Aggressive Motivation: An Introduction and Overview

This article introduces a special issue on Aggressive Motivation. After briefly considering some important concepts and definitions in the psychological study of aggression and aggressive motivation, this article provides short summaries of the 8 contributions to this special issue. These articles focus on contemporary theory and research, and they come from a wide array of theoretical and methodological approaches in biological, developmental, social, personality, and clinical psycholog

Exploiting structure: Introduction and motivation

Research activities performed during the period of 29 June 1993 through 31 Aug. 1993 are summarized. The Robust Stability of Systems where transfer function or characteristic polynomial are multilinear affine functions of parameters of interest in two directions, Algorithmic and Theoretical, was developed. In the algorithmic direction, a new approach that reduces the computational burden of checking the robust stability of the system with multilinear uncertainty is found. This technique is called 'Stability by linear process.' In fact, the 'Stability by linear process' described gives an algorithm. In analysis, we obtained a robustness criterion for the family of polynomials with coefficients of multilinear affine function in the coefficient space and obtained the result for the robust stability of diamond families of polynomials with complex coefficients also. We obtained the limited results for SPR design and we provide a framework for solving ACS. Finally, copies of the outline of our results are provided in the appendix. Also, there is an administration issue in the appendix

Exploiting structure: Introduction and motivation

This annual report summarizes the research activities that were performed from 26 Jun. 1993 to 28 Feb. 1994. We continued to investigate the Robust Stability of Systems where transfer functions or characteristic polynomials are affine multilinear functions of parameters. An approach that differs from 'Stability by Linear Process' and that reduces the computational burden of checking the robust stability of the system with multilinear uncertainty was found for low order, 2-order, and 3-order cases. We proved a crucial theorem, the so-called Face Theorem. Previously, we have proven Kharitonov's Vertex Theorem and the Edge Theorem by Bartlett. The detail of this proof is contained in the Appendix. This Theorem provides a tool to describe the boundary of the image of the affine multilinear function. For SPR design, we have developed some new results. The third objective for this period is to design a controller for IHM by the H-infinity optimization technique. The details are presented in the Appendix
