The present research paper seeks to ascertain whether students respond emotionally literature—as it is argued that the emotions experienced during reading help interpret literary texts. To end, study departs from an investigation of students’ personal responses only determine emotion-based exist in EFL context, thus answering central question guides this work: do affective literature exist? sta...

In this paper we study the implications of the recent high precision measurement of (g−2)μ by BNL [1] on new heavy physics beyond the SM. The effect of two d=6 operators on the anomalous magnetic momment of the muon is considered and the new physics contribution to aμ reported by BNL has been used to put bounds on the scale associated with these operators.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science and, therefore, involves progressive approaches and outcomes. In this commentary we argue that the spirit and the method of science should be maintained in order to avoid reductionist procedures, stifled innovation, and rote, unresponsive protocols that become increasingly removed from meaningful progress for individuals diagnosed with autism spectru...

Much research on elemental causal learning has focused on how causal strength is learned from the states of variables. In longitudinal contexts, the way a cause and effect change over time can be informative of the underlying causal relationship. We propose a framework for inferring the causal strength from different observed transitions, and compare the predictions to existing models of causal...

Through changing the equivalence relation of objects to reflexive and symmetric binary relation in the incomplete information system, a cumulative variable precision rough set model is proposed. The basic properties of β lower and β upper cumulative approximation operators are investigated. β upper, and β lower distribution consistent set are explored for defining β upper, and β lower distribut...

Online peer-to-peer (P2P) microloan lending practice is becoming prevalent worldwide. However, information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers in this market may create adverse selection and moral hazard problems that could eventually lead to a high risk of loan default. In the proposed study, we will develop a model to evaluate how imitation and language analysis can reduce information asy...

Block-based image and video coding systems are used extensively in practice. In low bitrate applications, however, they suffer from annoying discontinuities, called blocking artifacts. Prior research shows that incorporating systems that reduce blocking artifacts into codecs is useful because visual quality is improved. Existing methods reduce blocking artifacts by applying various post-process...
