In his elegant discussion, Sripada distinguishes three possible innate bases for aspects of morality: (1) certain specific principles might be innate, (2) a less simple “principles and parameters” model might apply, and (3) innate biases might have have some influence over what morality a person acquires without determining the content of that morality.1 He argues against (1) and (2) and in fav...

The use of auctions for distributing resources in competing environments has produced a large variety of auctions types and algorithms to treat them. However, auctions have some problems when faced with some real-world applications containing renewable and perishable resources. In this paper we present a mechanism to deal with such issues by dynamically configuring some of the auction parameter...

When modeling student learning, tutors that use the Knowledge Tracing framework often assume that all students have the same set of model parameters. We find that when fitting parameters to individual students, there is significant variation among the individual’s parameters. We examine if this variation is important in terms of instructional decisions by computing the difference in the expecte...

Luc Demortier The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, U.S.A. Abstract The standard Bayesian treatment of systematic uncertainties is to integrate out the corresponding nuisance parameters from the joint posterior density for all parameters. We apply this formalism to measurements in which the data cannot distinguish between nuisance parameters and parameters of interest, and show that i...

Construction and demolition waste are one of the major streams in world. Aggregates must be used significant quantities during road construction maintenance as base sub-base materials. Government local businesses promoting use recycled material old pavement andconstruction due to high cost virgin aggregates. Concrete, subgrade, railroad ballast materials can all made from concrete aggregate (RC...

Visualization is the science of representing data visually in order to enhance communication or understanding. In this way, the complex and powerful capabilities of the human visual system can be harnessed to aid in the comprehension of potentially huge quantities of information. Since the information contained in visualizations must pass through the perceptual system, careful attention to the ...

Effective tools are crucial for visualizing large quantities of information. While developing these tools, numerous graph drawing problems emerge. We present solutions for reducing clutter in a radial visualization of a bipartite graph representing the alerts generated by an IDS protecting a computer network. Our solutions rely essentially on (i) unambiguous edge bundling to reduce the number o...

— Various model parameter calculation equations of RF CMOS inductors are compared. The calculation equations are using as variables either Y, Z-parameters or S-parameters. Results are based on on-wafer RF S-parameter measurements of a 3.75 turn spiral inductor fabricated in AMIS 0.7 μm CMOS DM1P n-well technology. Results obtained with calculation equations for a differentially driven inductor ...

the study evaluated the physical qualities and satisfaction in students’ housing in selectedstudents’ housing for the university of ibadan. through survey method, eight hostels were purposively selected tocapture variation in gender, level of study and hostel design. the sampling frame showed that 5605 students at ui werefound in 2,147 rooms. one out of every 10 (10%) of the rooms were selected...
