Smith and Minda (1998, 2002) argued that the response scaling parameter y in the exemplar-based generalized context model (GCM) makes the model unnecessarily complex and allows it to mimic the behavior of a prototype model. We evaluated this criticism in two ways. First, we estimated the complexity of the GCM with and without the yparameter and also compared its complexity to that of a prototyp...

We analyse the response of the TIE-GCM computer model of the upper atmosphere to atmospheric tides at its lower boundary and to variations of night-time ionization rates. TIE-GCM is an expensive code, and we choose to use our thirty evaluations of the model to construct an emulator, and then use the emulator for the analysis. TIE-GCM has some non-standard features, namely a periodic input, and ...

Different models of categorization are often treated as competing accounts, but specific models are often used to understand individual differences, by estimating individual-level parameters. We develop an approach to understanding categorization that allows for individual differences both between and within models, using two prominent categorization models that make different theoretical assum...

Stembridge characterized regular crystals associated with a simply-laced generalized Cartan matrix (GCM) in terms of local graph-theoretic quantities. We give similar axiomatization for $B_{2}$ and thus finite GCM except $G_{2}$ an affine $A^{(1)}_{1},G^{(1)}_{2},A^{(2)}_{2},D^{(3)}_{4}$.

flood is one of the most calamitous natural disasters that causes extensive property and life damages across theworld. it however, could be a blessing due to its special natural water resources recharging value. by simulating themagnitude of probable floods considering the anthropogenic and natural effects and implementing contingency plans,their damages could be reduced. in this paper, the gen...

NR5A1 is essential for the development and for the function of steroid producing glands of the reproductive system. Moreover, its misregulation is associated with endometriosis, which is the first cause of infertility in women. Hr39, the Drosophila ortholog of NR5A1, is expressed and required in the secretory cells of the spermatheca, the female exocrine gland that ensures fertility by secretin...

In this paper we address the problem of the blind reconstruction of binary sequences transmitted by P sources, sharing simultaneously the same frequency channel. This is the situation in Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) systems, where an array receiver is used to discriminate the spatial signatures of the sources. We exploit the geometry induced by the nite nature of the sources alphabet i...

When applying a quantile mapping-based bias correction to daily temperature extremes simulated by a global climate model (GCM), the transformed values of maximum and minimum temperatures are changed, and the diurnal temperature range (DTR) can become physically unrealistic. While causes are not thoroughly explored, there is a strong relationship between GCM biases in snow albedo feedback during...

Abstract Chaotic Itinerancy (CI) have been of much interest, for example, in relevance to information processing in neural systems. Globally Coupled Map (GCM) is the most popular high-dimensional dynamical system which shows CI. Still its mechanism is not fully understood, it has been pointed out that relation between CI and the existence of Milnor attractor which has extreme instability for pe...
