When performing jointly on a task, human agents are assumed to represent their coactor's share of this task, and research in various joint action paradigms has focused on representing the coactor's stimulus-response assignments. Here we show that the response-effect (R-E) contingencies exploited by a coactor also affect performance, and thus might be represented as if they were used by oneself....

In the current investigation the assumption that intentions and actions are represented in the same medium or code (common coding hypothesis of intention and action) was tested and confirmed [Q. J. Exp. Psychol. 52 (1999) 1; Eur. J. Cognit. Psychol. 9 (1997) 129]. In two experiments it is shown that the intention to produce a spatial consequence in the environment to an otherwise spatially neut...

Let T be an edge weighted tree, let dT (u, v) be the sum of the weights of the edges on the path from u to v in T , and let dmin and dmax be two nonnegative real numbers such that dmin ≤ dmax. Then a pairwise compatibility graph of T for dmin and dmax is a graph G = (V,E), where each vertex u′ ∈ V corresponds to a leaf u of T and there is an edge (u′, v′) ∈ E if and only if dmin ≤ dT (u, v) ≤ d...

Let {Xi}i≥1 be a martingale difference sequence with Xi = Si − Si−1. Under some regularity conditions, we show that (X 1+· · ·+X2 Nn)SNn is asymptotically normal, where {Ni}i≥1 is a sequence of positive integer-valued random variables tending to infinity. In a similar manner, a backward (or reverse) martingale central limit theorem with random indices is provided. Keywords—central limit theorem...

Allaz and Vila made the seminal contribution that forward contracts mitigate market power on the spot market. This result is widely quoted and elaborated in studies of restructured power markets, where generators can potentially exploit the special characteristics of this industry in order to extract higher prices. Allaz-Vila established their result under the assumption that the production cap...

In the canonical examples underlying Shafer-Dempster theory, beliefs over the hypotheses of interest are derived from a probability model for a set of auxiliary hypotheses. Beliefs are derived via a compatibility relation connecting the auxiliary hypotheses to subsets of the primary hypotheses. A belief function differs from a Bayesian probability model in that one does not condition on those p...

Introduction: Different oral lesions have clinical characteristics which in some cases are similar. Therefore, in these cases histopathological examination for correct diagnosis is necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compatibility rate of clinical and histopathological diagnosis of oral lesions in Zahedan School of dentistry. Methods: In this retrospective study, determination ...

in this paper, a new framework has been developed for compatibility analysis of predictive climatic variables distribution with reference evapotranspiration (eto) in probabilistic analysis of water requirement. initially, measured monthly meteorological data of four cities of iran including kerman, shiraz, ramsar and babolsar synoptic weather station recorded from 1961 to 2003 were considered b...

Schistosomiasis remains one of the most prevalent parasitic infections and has significant economic and public health consequences in many developing countries. Economic development and improvement in standard of living in these countries are dependent on the elimination of this odious disease. For the control of Schistosomiasis, understanding the host/parasite association is important, since t...
