Re-Paying Attention to Visitor Behavior: A Re-Analysis using Meta-Analytic Techniques

Threatening communication: a critical re-analysis and a revised meta-analytic test of fear appeal theory

Despite decades of research, consensus regarding the dynamics of fear appeals remains elusive. A meta-analysis was conducted that was designed to resolve this controversy. Publications that were included in previous meta-analyses were re-analysed, and a number of additional publications were located. The inclusion criteria were full factorial orthogonal manipulations of threat and efficacy, and...

Re-design of Downstream Processing Techniques for Nanoparticulate Bioproducts

There has been much interest generated in the recovery of nanoparticulate (nanoparticle) bioproducts(Second generation of biotechnological products) such as plasmid DNA and viruses as putative gene therapyvectors, macromolecular assemblies as drug delivery vehicles and virus-like particles as vaccine components.Such product must be manufactured in advanced stages of purity, ma...

Re-Meshing Techniques for Topological Analysis

A method for the extraction of the Extended Reeb Graph (ERG) from a closed 3D triangular mesh is presented. The ERG codes the relationships among critical points of the height function associated to the mesh, and it can represent isolated as well as degenerate critical points. The extraction process is based on a re-meshing strategy of the original mesh, which is forced to follow contour levels...

Outlier overcoming using re-sampling techniques

Machine learning has extensively and successfully used statistical resampling techniques for generation of classifier and predictor ensembles. It has been frequently shown that combining so called unstable predictors has a stabilizing effect on and improves the performance of the prediction system generated in this way. In this paper we use the re-sampling techniques in the context of Principal...
