remotely control through the Internet. Our objective is threefold. We are attempting to provide an educational resource for chaos, demonstrate a new technology, and experiment with a new method of laboratory education. Figure 1 shows the pendulum control panel. As students vary the driving frequency, they can watch the pendulum's motion switch from simple periodic motion to chaotic motion. The ...

This paper presents a method of generating Mercer Kernels from an ensemble of probabilistic mixture models, where each mixture model is generated from a Bayesian mixture density estimate. We show how to convert the ensemble estimates into a Mercer Kernel, describe the properties of this new kernel function, and give examples of the performance of this kernel on unsupervised clustering of synthe...

In the language modeling approach to information retrieval, Dirichlet prior smoothing frequently outperforms Jelinek-Mercer smoothing. Both Dirichlet prior and Jelinek-Mercer are forms of linear interpolated smoothing. The only difference between them is that Dirichlet prior determines the amount of smoothing based on a document’s length. Our hypothesis was that Dirichlet prior’s performance ad...

Although a firm’s use of shorter-term debt can potentially help it to reduce agency costs of debt and align managers’ interests with those of shareholders, the use of this type of debt increases the firm’s refinancing risk. We hypothesize that firms with debt that has a shorter maturity hold larger cash reserves to reduce important costs they could incur if they have difficulty refinancing thei...

/S0aanes 1979/provides some counterexamples to the theory of natural language presuppositions that is presented in /Gazdar 1979/. /Soames 1982/ provides a theory which explains these eounterexamples. /Mercer 1987/ rejects the solution found in/Soames 1982/ leaving these eounterexamples unexplained. By reappraising these insightful counterexamples, the inferential theory for natural language pre...

BACKGROUND Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse), the Asian tiger mosquito, is an introduced invasive species in the United States that is responsible for a significant proportion of service requests to local mosquito control programs. This container-utilizing mosquito is refractory to standard mosquito abatement measures in the United States. This study is part of a USDA-ARS project to develop ...
