This paper studies how audience members categorize and evaluate ambiguous offerings. Depending on whether offerings based prototypes or goals, they activate two distinct cognitive mechanisms differently We expect that when audiences engage in goal- versus prototype-based categorization, their evaluation of products increases. theorize that, under goal-based the perceived utility unclear attribu...

We studied the in vivo interaction of ceftazidime and tobramycin in normal volunteers and anuric patients given each drug separately or both drugs in combination. Kinetic analysis of plasma concentration data showed minor changes in the disposition of these agents when they were given concurrently. However, the resulting clearance of both tobramycin and ceftazidime was unchanged when these drug...

background: colibacillosis is one of the most prevalentdiseases in the world that causes multimillion-dollar annuallosses. objectives: in order to evaluate molecular epidemiologyof some virulence associated factors in escherichia coli,isolated from poultry, the presence of iut a, iss, hly f, omp t, iron, afa, sfa (s)and pap g (ii) were investigated by multiplex pcrassay. methods: two hundred th...

The temporal dynamics and generative functions between layers of the hierarchy are implemented as neural networks with non-linear activation functions. Optimization of model parameters and causes proceed concurrently as a combination of fixed-point rules and Gauss-Newton decent. To make the optimization problem tractable, the standard mean-field and Laplace approximations are employed. The prec...

This paper studies the application of text similarity methods to disambiguate ambiguous links between WordNet nouns and Wikipedia categories. The methods range from word overlap between glosses, random projections, WordNetbased similarity, and a full-fledged textual entailment system. Both unsupervised and supervised combinations have been tried. The goldstandard with disambiguated links is pub...

Standard economic models cannot capture the fact that information is often ambiguous, and is interpreted in multiple ways. Using a framework that distinguishes between the language in which statements are made and the interpretation of statements, we show that ambiguity can have important consequences. We show that players can agree to disagree in the presence of ambiguity, even if there is a c...
