Recently, chaotic neural networks have been paid much attention to, and contribute toward solving TSP. We study the existence of chaos in a discrete-time neural network. Chaotic behavior is an inside essence of stochastic processes in nonlinear deterministic system. The investigation provides a theoretical confirmation on the scenario of transient chaos for the system. All the parameter conditi...

We have built SmartNotes, a system with two goals: first to help users take multi– media notes during meetings and browse those notes afterwards, and second to acquire labeled data from users’ interactions with the system with which to later improve the performance of components that perform automatic meeting understanding. SmartNotes consists of a stand–alone laptop based note taking system, a...

These are exciting times for the pathology residency program at MUSC. When not busy on their clinical rotations or studying, our residents have stayed active by serving on several local and national committees and taking part in numerous research projects. The final totals for the year are not in yet, but the majority of our residents presented projects at national meetings this year, and most ...

This paper describes a study on the effect of agents during meetings. There is much potential for agents that support meetings, but little research has been done on how people react to such agents. Will they find it very intrusive, helpful or both and what format do they appreciate most? Answers to these questions will be indicated by the research described in this report. These answers were co...

Intergenerational service-learning in higher education positively affects older adults and students, but little is known about the effectiveness of interdisciplinary, reverse mentoring programs that use technology as the medium of bringing generations together. This study describes an intergenerational service-learning program that utilizes reverse mentoring within higher education, the "Engagi...

Introduction Several articles in the statistical literature contain tips on giving an effective statistical presentation. An excellent recent example, by Becker and KellerMcNulty, appears in The American Statistician (1996, pages 112-115). So why did I agree to attempt another essay on this topic, for speakers intending to present at IBC2000? In part, because my experience at recent statistical...

Price dispersion is analyzed in the context of a queuing market where customers enter queues to acquire a good or service and may experience delays. With menu costs, price dispersion arises and can persist in the medium and long run. The queuing market rations goods in the same way whether firm prices are optimal or not. Price dispersion reduces the rate at which customers get the good and redu...
