results there was significant reduction in anger symptoms of drug-dependent individuals after gross model based emotion regulation training (ert) (p < 0.001). moreover, the effectiveness of the training on anger was persistent in the follow-up period. conclusions symptoms of anger in drug-dependent individuals of this study were reduced by gross model-based emotion regulation strategies trainin...

Research in the development of teacher cognition and teaching performance in K–12 classrooms has identified consistent challenges and patterns of behavior that are congruent with the predictions of dual-process models of cognition. However, cognitive models of information processing are not often used to synthesize these results. This article reviews findings from the research on teaching and t...

Statistical language models have been successfully applied to a lot of problems, including speech recognition, handwriting, Chinese pinyin-input etc. In recognition, a statistical language model, such as the trigram model, is used to predict the probabilities of hypothesized word sequences. The traditional method that relies on distribution estimation is sub-optimal when the assumed distributio...

We show how discriminative training methods, namely the Maximum Mutual Information and Maximum Discrimination approach, can be adopted for the training of N-gram language models used as clas-siiers working on symbol strings. By estimating the model parameters according to a discriminative objective function instead of Maximum Likelihood, the emphasis is not put on the exact modeling of each cla...

A model is described for practising packing of the nose with ribbon gauze in the treatment of epistaxis. The model was constructed from accurate casts of a cadaveric nasal cavity. The value of the model as a practical teaching aid is shown by a trial on a group of 15 accident and emergency (A&E) doctors. After training on the model, there was a significant improvement in the confidence of the d...

Although tremendous progress has been made in speech recognition technology, with the capability of todays state-of-the-art systems to transcribe unrestricted continuous speech from broadcast data, these systems rely on the availability of large amounts of manually transcribed acoustic training data. Obtaining such data is both time-consuming and expensive, requiring trained human annotators wi...

An Implementation Model for Courses in Human Resource Training M. Sami'ee Zafarghandi, Ph.D. To arrive at an effective model for implementing courses in human resource training different approaches to this task were critically reviewed and their constructive aspects reutilized. The new approach was then tested to identify any probable defect. The final model consists of basic elem...
