PURPOSE This is the first study to use the quiet eye (QE) as an objective measure of visuomotor control underpinning proficiency differences in children's motor coordination. METHODS Fifty-seven, year 5 primary school children (9-10 yr old) completed the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2), while wearing a gaze registration system. Participants were subsequently ...

For populations with geographic substructure and selectively neutral genetic data, the short term dynamics is a balance between migration and genetic drift. Before xation of any allele, the system enters into a quasi equilibrium (QE) state. Hössjer and Ryman (2012) developed a general QE methodology for computing approximations of spatial autocorrelations between subpopulations, subpopulation d...

Intense, transient quasi-electrostatic (QE) fields, which exist above thunderclouds following a positive cloudto-ground lightning discharge, can produce an upward travelling runaway electron (REL) beam. A new two-dimensional (2D) REL-QE model is developed, expanding the previously reported 1D model [Bell et al., 1995] and incorporating the QE [Pasko et al., 1997a] and the recently developed ele...

The dissipative dynamics of classical correlation(CC), quantum discord(QD) and entanglement (QE) of two qubits in two-side and one-side decoherence models are investigated under Markovian environments. We find the sudden change QD as well as CC and sudden death of entanglement (ESD). The results show that QD and QE decay faster with the increasing of squeezing parameter r; the dipole-dipole int...

Recently quantifier elimination (QE) has been of great interest in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper an effective symbolic-numeric cylindrical algebraic decomposition (SNCAD) algorithm and its variant specially designed for QE are proposed based on the authors’ previous work and our implementation of those is reported. Based on analysing experimental performances, we are imp...

This paper describes the DCU-SHEFF word-level Quality Estimation (QE) system submitted to the QE shared task at WMT15. Starting from a baseline set of features and a CRF algorithm to learn a sequence tagging model, we propose improvements in two ways: (i) by filtering out the training sentences containing too few errors, and (ii) by adding incomplete sequences to the training data to enrich the...

Fractal dimension (FD), estimated by box-counting, is a metric used to characterize plant anatomical complexity or space-filling characteristic for a variety of purposes. The vast majority of published studies fail to evaluate the assumption of statistical self-similarity, which underpins the validity of the procedure. The box-counting procedure is also subject to error arising from arbitrary g...

In this paper, we develop load balancing strategies for scalable high-performance parallel A* algorithms suitable for distributed-memory machines. In parallel A* search, ineeciencies such as processor starvation and search of non-essential spaces (search spaces not explored by the sequential algorithm) grow with the number of processors P used, thus restricting its scalability. To alleviate thi...
