this study pursued the molecular identification of fish species from processed products for human consumption which, a priori, belonged to nine species. dna barcoding using direct sequencing of about 650 bp of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit i (coi) revealed incorrect labeling in the three alaska pollack samples (11% of all samples). substitution of fish species constitutes se...

Contextual differences present significant challenges when developing computational methods for detecting deception. We conducted a field experiment with border guards from the European Union in order to demonstrate that deception detection can be done robustly using context specific computational models. In the study, some of the participants were given a “fraudulent” document with incorrect d...

In this paper, techniques for combining confidence measures are proposed and evaluated. Confidence measures are useful for rejecting incorrect data, which is an important issue in speech recognition based interactive systems. Many ways of computing individual confidence measures have already been investigated. A detailed analysis of various confidence measures shows that they behave differently...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether persons with developmental dyspraxia and apraxia make similar errors during the performance of four types of tasks. METHOD Three groups of subjects with dyspraxia or apraxia (i.e., children with learning disabilities and dyspraxia, young adults with learning disabilities and dyspraxia, older adults with left-hemisphere brain damage...

The focus of this article is distillation design feasibility. It is shown that existing methods for determining feasibility can give incorrect results or produce feasible designs that waste energy due to over-specification and mass balance errors. An iterative refinement procedure based on direct substitution is proposed within the distillation line method of Lucia et al. that automatically adj...

BACKGROUND Poor freestyle stroke biomechanics is a suggested risk factor for shoulder pain and pathology, but this has not been proven in biomechanical or clinical studies. Furthermore, the prevalence of these theoretical errors has not been identified, which would help coaches, athletic trainers, and researchers determine the most appropriate errors to focus on and develop interventions. HYP...
