Biological evolution gives rise to self-organizing phenomena. Inspired by this theory, directed variation is added to the ( , ) evolution strategies (ES) algorithm and it is called directed variation ES (DVES). In DVES, some neighboring individuals in the population mutate correlatively according to the distribution of the whole population. Experimental results showed that, with the same number...

The evolution strategy with neighborhood attraction (EN) is a new combination of self-organizing maps (SOM) and evolution strategies (ES). It adapts the neighborhood relationship known from SOM to ES individuals to concentrate them around the optimum of the problem. In this paper, detailed investigations on the in uence of one of the most important EN-operators { the neighborhood attraction { w...

Sensory and self-regulatory symptoms make up most of the comorbid symptoms in autism and are associated with increased autism severity. We validated a parent-caregiver measure of comorbid symptoms in autism, the Sense and Self-Regulation Checklist (SSC), in 265 children <6 yr with typical development (n = 138), autism (n = 99), or other developmental delay (n = 28); Cronbach's α was .87. We rep...

It is proposed to define complex personal formation, personality-regulatory property that has an effective system influence on activation personality ensuring subjective function activities. condition for their context practical psychol...

The development of children's emotion-related self-regulation appears to be related to, and likely involved in, many aspects of children's development. In this review, the distinction between effortful self-regulatory processes and those that are somewhat less voluntary is discussed, and literature on the former capacities is reviewed. Emotion-related self-regulation develops rapidly in the ear...

The internet has transformed the manner of conducting commercial transactions and has created regulatory gaps. These regulatory gaps may impact the effective development of electronic commerce. Attempts are being made to regulate electronic contracts both at the national and international level. The present research analyses these attempts, in particular the Electronic Transaction Legislation ...

This study investigated how students’ level of motivation and use of specific cognitive and self-regulatory strategies changed over time, and how these motivational and cognitive components in turn predicted students’ course performance in chemistry. Participants were 458 students enrolled in introductory college chemistry classes. Participants’ motivation and strategy use were assessed at thre...
