[1] The interactive ensemble coupling strategy has been developed specifically to determine how noise impacts climate variability within context of coupled general circulation model (CGCM). This study examines the impacts of local versus non-local noise on the North Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) variability using three CGCM simulations. The control run uses the standard couplin...

I n M a t t h e w s (1963) 1 several classes of g rammars are defined and their generat ive power determined. These g rammars are defined part ia l ly by the form of their rules and par t ia l ly by the form of the derivat ions of the sentences they generate. T h a t paper shows t h a t one-way g rammars and one-way d iscont inuous g rammars are equ iva len t to context-free g rammars as define...

To provide natural user interfaces to interactive environments, accurate and fast recognition of gestures and expressions is needed. We adopt a view-based gesture recognition strategy that runs in an un-constrained interactive environment, which uses active vision methods to determine context cuess for the view-based method. Using vision routines already implemented for an interactive environme...

We investigate two cooperative variants (with and without lies) of the Guessing Secrets Problem, introduced in [4] in the attempt to model an interactive situation arising in the World Wide Web, in relation to the e¢ cient delivery of Internet content. After placing bounds on the cardinality of the smallest set of questions needed to win the game, we establish that the algebra of all the states...

We investigated the production and perception of paralinguistic cues to deception in a two-person, interactive game. Speakers tried to mislead their partner by lying some of the time, while listeners tried to catch speakers out by guessing when they were lying. Our results show that listeners were more likely to associate disfluencies with deception, despite the fact that speakers were in fact ...

This paper studies the game of guessing riffle-shuffled cards with complete feedback. A deck n labeled 1 to is once and placed on a table. player tries guess from top given feedback after each guess. The goal find strategy maximum reward (expected number correct guesses). We give optimal for this prove that expected n∕2+2∕π⋅n+O(1), partially solving an open problem Bayer Diaconis (Bayer Diaconi...

doctors and clients sometimes experience interactive clashes during hospital meetings in south-western nigerian hospitals because of their divergent culture-constrained orientation to politeness cues. the goal of this paper is to unpack the discursive elements that characterize interactive confluence and divergence in selected consultative encounters in the hospitals. the findings indicate that...

The possibility of communicating with the (in) direct environment using other devices and observing that same environment allow us to develop ambient intelligent applications which have knowledge of the environment and of the use of these applications. Despite the support for software development for this kind of application, some gaps still exist, making the creation of consistent, usable user...

Subjects discriminate letters in words better than letters in nonwords. The sophisticated guessing hypothesis attributes this word advantage to a guessing strategy. In words, the possible letters at each letter position are constrained by letters at other positions, whereas letters in nonwords are not restricted in this manner. A critical test of this hypothesis is that if subjects are given ex...
