The purpose of this study was to examine whether variables in the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) acted more as predictors than as consequences of exercise behavior (stage of change). Students from 13 New Zealand high schools (N = 1,434) completed questionnaires corresponding to variables in the TTM (i.e., stage of exercise change, processes of change, self-effi cacy, and decisional balance) at tw...

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a topic model that has been applied to various fields, including user profiling and event summarization on Twitter. When LDA is applied to tweet collections, it generally treats all aggregated tweets of a user as a single document. Twitter-LDA, which assumes a single tweet consists of a single topic, has been proposed and has shown that it is superior in top...

this paper provides a review on major ergodic features of semi-independent hyper mv {algebra dynamical systems. theorems are presentedto make contribution to calculate the entropy. particularly, it is proved that thetotal entropy of those semi-independent hyper mv {algebra dynamical systemsthat have a generator can be calculated with respect to their generator ratherthan considering all the par...

The influence of hypo- and hyper-thyroidism on spermatogenesis was studied in 60-day-old adult maleWistar rats. To confirm hypo- and hyper-thyroidism, the concentration of plasma thyroid hormones wereassayed by radioimmunoassay. The hypothyroid state, induced by administration of 25 mg/kg/daymethimazole for 5 successive days, resulted in significant decrease in the number of Sertoli cells, sper...

" Hyper tableau " is a sound and complete calculus for first-order clausal logic. The present paper introduces an improvement which removes the major weakness of the calculus, which is the need to (at least partially) blindly guess ground-instantiations for certain clauses. This guessing is now replaced by a unification-driven technique. The calculus is presented in detail, which includes a com...

The computational and network infrastructure which makes up the net is increasingly able to support immersive 3D applications. Recent years have seen 3D technologies emerging that enable the Web extended into the third dimension. The Hyper-Grid connects together over 100 virtual world grids containing over 20,000 regions, these technologies point to the possibility of rich 3D content becoming p...

The intuitionistic fuzzification of (strong, weak, s-weak) hyperBCK-ideals is introduced, and related properties are investigated. Characterizationsof an intuitionistic fuzzy hyper BCK-ideal are established. Using acollection of hyper BCK-ideals with some conditions, an intuitionistic fuzzyhyper BCK-ideal is built.
