Martial arts (“budo”) is a service system in which instructors and students co-create physical mental values through training encounters servicescape—the dojo. We explored how actors develop eudemonic wellbeing this servicescape. selected the dynamics theory of perception servicescapes as theoretical framework to examine process behavior change based on interaction between participants environm...

Speech communication becomes increasingly difficult with age, especially in adverse listening conditions. We compared speech adaptations made by ‘older adult’ (65-84 years) and ‘younger adult’ (19-26 years) talkers when speech is produced with communicative intent. The aim was to investigate how articulation rate is affected by the type of adverse listening condition and by the change in task d...

With more and more various systems in nature and society are proved to be modeled as complex networks, community detection in complex networks as a fundamental problem becomes a hot research topic in a large scale of subjects. Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) has high efficiency and does not require any prior knowledge about the number or the original division of the communities. So it is ...

A “quantitative function” for community detection called modularity density has been proposed by Li, Zhang, Wang, Zhang, and Chen in [Phys. Rev. E 77, 036109 (2008)]. We study the modularity density maximization problem and we discuss some features of the optimal solution. More precisely, we show that in the optimal solution there can be communities having negative modularity density, and we pr...

We address the problem of information fusion in uncertain environments. Imagine there are multiple experts building probabilistic models of the same situation and we wish to aggregate the information they provide. There are several problems we may run into by naively merging the information from each. For example, the experts may disagree on the probability of a certain event or they may disagr...
