Dynamic Discrete Choice and Dynamic Treatment Effects This paper considers semiparametric identiÞcation of structural dynamic discrete choice models and models for dynamic treatment effects. Time to treatment and counterfactual outcomes associated with treatment times are jointly analyzed. We examine the implicit assumptions of the dynamic treatment model using the structural model as a benchma...

Objectives: Cerebral hemispheres functioning have been found to be abnormal in children with ASD. The role of lateralization in implicit and explicit motor learning has received little attention in ASD researches. The main goal of this study is investigating the differences between two hands implicit and explicit motor learning in children with ASD and typical matched group. Methods: In the ...

We address the problem of creating a dictionary with the finger search property in the strict implicit model, where no information is stored between operations, except the array of elements. We show that for any implicit dictionary supporting finger searches in q(t) = Ω(log t) time, the time to move the finger to another element is Ω(q−1(logn)), where t is the rank distance between the query el...

User demand mining aims to identify the implicit from e-commerce reviews, which are always irregular, vague and diverse. Existing sentiment analysis research mainly focuses on aspect-opinion-sentiment triplet extraction, while deeper user demands remain unexplored. In this paper, we formulate a novel question of jointly aspect-opinion-sentiment-demand, propose Mutually Enhanced Bidirectional Ex...

Studies of dyslexics, whose implicit memory is impaired, suggest that their implicit inference of sound statistics and its integration into perception is inefficient. Specifically, dyslexics' implicit memory decays faster and consequently only accumulates information over shorter temporal windows. We now ask whether this abnormal dynamic is domain general by measuring its cortical distribution....

We present a practical and efficient algorithm for interactively ray tracing arbitrary implicit surfaces. We use interval arithmetic both for reliable numerical computation and guaranteed detection of topological features. In conjunction with ray tracing, this allows for rendering literally any implicit surface simply from its definition. Interactive ray tracing facilitates flexible shading and...

Background: While core stabilization techniques, abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) have recently been recognized as a powerful technique to mitigate or improve various medical conditions, the issue of whether the cortical or subcortical neural network contributes to dynamic neuromuscular core stabilization (yoga-like DNS breathing vs. ADIM) remai...

In this paper we deal with the problem of distance computation between static or dynamic objects, which is an important problem when dealing with the effects of collisions in the context of physically based modeling to obtain a fast numerical integration of the underlying ordinary differential equation. We use an implicit formulation of the (potential) collisions already in the physical laws of...

This paper addresses the issues of dynamic load sharing in large-scale computing systems. Typically, dynamic load sharing policies use explicit information to make load sharing decision. Our load sharing policy, however, uses consuming rate, which is implicit information, as a resource metric. This implicit information represents each worker’s overall capability such as processing power, networ...

group dynamic assessment (g-da) grounded in vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory (sct) is believed to have the potential to provide a context for capturing a group of learners’ zone of proximal development (zpd) (poehner & lantolf, 2010; shabani, 2010). the present study aims at testing the applicability of g-da in identifying the mediational strategies offered by a mediator during his g-da int...
