describes several excellent strategies to optimize intrinsic load and minimize extraneous load. As noted by the authors, there is legitimate disagreement about the construct of germane cognitive load and how it relates to intrinsic load. However, we do not agree with Leppink and Van den Heuvel’s rejection of germane load as an independent construct. Four of six prior studies performed by Leppin...

Between October 1998 and May 2010, 158 lung transplants were performed in seven centers in Japan. Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) has been performed more than cadaveric lung transplantation (CLT) because of the difficulty in obtaining brain dead donors (n = 93 versus n = 65). The indications were quite unique in Japan where idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension was the most...

english): From a wavelet analysis, one derives a nonparametrical estimator for the spectral density of a Gaussian process with stationary increments. First, the idealistic case of a continuous time path of the process is considered. A punctual Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and an estimation of the Mean Integrate Square Error (MISE) are established. Next, to fit the applications, one considers the...

ABSTRACT. We consider the nearest-neighbor simple random walk on Z, d ≥ 2, driven by a field of i.i.d. random nearest-neighbor conductances ωxy ∈ [0, 1]. Apart from the requirement that the bonds with positive conductances percolate, we pose no restriction on the law of the ω’s. We prove that, for a.e. realization of the environment, the path distribution of the walk converges weakly to that of...

We study the condensation of localized tachyon in non-supersymmetric orbifold. We first show that the G-parity of chiral primaries are preserved under the condensation of localized tachyon(CLT). Using this, we finalize the proof of the conjecture that the lowest-tachyon-mass-squared increases under CLT at the level of type II string with full consideration of GSO projection. We also show the eq...

Query learning models from computational learning theory (CLT) can be adopted to perform elicitation in combinatorial auctions. Indeed, a recent elicitation framework demonstrated that the equivalence queries of CLT can be usefully simulated with price-based demand queries. In this paper, we validate the flexibility of this framework by defining a learning algorithm for atomic bidding languages...

OBJECTIVE Key worker programs for families of children with disabilities, to promote information provision, emotional support, and liaisons among different agencies, have long been advocated but not extensively implemented. We report the impact on the experiences of parents and the practices of health care professionals of a novel, hospital-based, key worker service (Community Link Team [CLT]),...

E h(x)π(dx). Ibragimov and Linnik (1971) proved that if (Xn) is geometrically ergodic, then a central limit theorem (CLT) holds for h whenever π(|h|) < ∞, δ > 0. Cogburn (1972) proved that if a Markov chain is uniformly ergodic, with π(h) < ∞ then a CLT holds for h. The first result was re-proved in Roberts and Rosenthal (2004) using a regeneration approach; thus removing many of the technicali...

A new variant of CLT is established for random elds de ned on Rd which are strictly stationary, with nite second moment and weakly dependent (comprising cases of positive or negative association). The summation domains grow in the van Hove sense. Simultaneously the indices of observations form more and more dense grids in these domains. Thus the e ect of combining two scaling procedures is stud...
