La longueur du statokinésigramme est la distance parcourue par le centre de pression des pieds d'un sujet debout. Bien que ce paramètre soit fréquemment utilisé en analyse du signal statokinésimétrique, il présente plusieurs inconvénients méconnus. Non seulement il ne fait que de répéter les informations déjà contenues dans les estimateurs des moments de la distribution statistique sous-jacente...

Various gauge invariant but non-Yang-Mills dynamical models are discussed: Précis of Chern-Simons theory in (2+1)-dimensions and reduction to (1+1)dimensional B-F theories; gauge theories for (1 + 1)-dimensional gravitymatter interactions; parity and gauge invariant mass term in (2 + 1)dimensions. Non-Perturbative Quantum Field Physics, Peñiscola, Spain, June 1997 This work is supported in part...

The central hypothesis of this book, Delusions and Beliefs: A Philosophical Inquiry (Routledge, 2019), is that delusions are malfunctional beliefs (Chapter 1); they belong to the category belief 2) but, unlike mundane false or irrational beliefs, fail perform some functions 3). More precisely, directly indirectly involve malfunctioning cognitive mechanisms, which empirically supported by two-fa...

not take the place of a standardized logistic regression coefficient for valuating the strength of the influences of the independent variables on the dependent variable, relative to one another.” The strength of each independent variable cannot be judged based on the magnitude of the OR, so that a larger OR for one independent variable might not have a stronger association than a smaller OR for...

Few medical journals specifically instruct authors to use the active voice and avoid the passive voice, but advice to that effect is common in the large number of stylebooks and blogs aimed at medical and scientific writers. Such advice typically revolves around arguments that the passive voice is less clear, less direct, and less concise than the active voice, that it conceals the identity of ...

User-generated contents (UGC) such as online reviews are inherently incomplete since we do not capture the opinions of users who do not write a review. These silent users may have systematically different online experiences than those who speak up. These differences can be driven by users‟ differing sentiments towards their online experiences as well as their disposition to generate UGC. Indisc...

Précis We vary the ability of robots to mitigate a participant's risk in a navigation guidance task to determine the effect this has on the participant's trust in the robot in a second round. A significant loss of trust was found after a single robot failure. ABSTRACT Objective: This paper explores the impact that a robot's initial performance has on a person's decision to trust the robot later...
