Decision making under uncertainty typically requires an iterative process of information acquisition. At each stage, the decision maker chooses the next best test (or tests) to perform, and re-evaluates the possible decisions. Value-of-information analyses provide a formal strategy for selecting the next test(s). However, the complete decision-theoretic approach is impractical and researchers h...

The driving cycle of the vehicle is taken as basis test, which plays an important role in improving performance and reducing energy consumption. Traditional fuel vehicles have been studied more current stage. Test conditions specifically for pure electric less studied. data acquisition method used to collect data. was established through extraction analysis characteristic parameters. research r...

objective: the present study aimed to determine the effect of reminiscence on cognitive status and memory of a sample of elderly people who lived in aged day centers in golestan province, iran. methods: this study was a semi-experimental research. the subjects consisted of 45 elderly people who referred to the aged day centers of golestan province. each four groups of 45 aged subjects (4 groups...

In child phonology marked structures are frequently acquired first in relatively unmarked contexts. Four examples of this can be observed in the acquisition of Dutch syllable structure as reported by Levelt et al. (2000), a representative example of which is given in (1): onsetless syllables must initally be open (stage 3), as must syllables with complex onsets (stage 5); syllables with complex...

in this paper, a new method is presented for the detection of defects in random textures. in the training stage, the feature vectors of the normal textures’ images are extracted by using the optimal response of gabor wavelet filters, and their probability density is estimated by means of the gaussian mixture model (gmm). in the testing stage, similar to the previous stage,at  first, the feature...

This thesis develops a formal grammar for the two-word stage, one the earliest stages in the development of Dutch child language acquisition. The validity of this grammar is evaluated against the relevant parts of the Childes corpus. Some less formal observations about the earliest multi-word stage (the stage following the two-word stage) are formulated. ∗Written for the bachelor project AI 200...

abstract background: rehabilitation of facial paralysis is one of the greatest challenges faced by reconstructive surgeons today. the traditional method for treatment of patients with facial palsy is the two-stage free gracilis flap which has a long latency period of between the two stages of surgery. methods: in this paper, we prospectively compared the results of the one-stage gracilis flap m...

Classical conditioning of the nictitating membrane response (NMR) of rabbits is simple associative learning of a motor response. In several two-stage experiments, reversible inactivations of the deep cerebellar nuclei in stage 1 appeared to prevent acquisition of NMR conditioning in naive rabbits--no conditioned responses (CRs) were evident after inactivations were lifted in stage 2. Results of...
