A.1. Computation in ES Model. A particular ES model, describing an alternative hypothesis Ha, is fully specified by setting values for (φ, ω) and hyper-parameters (v1, . . . , vS , l1,m1, . . . , lS ,mS). Under the contrasting null model H0, we set φ = ω = 0 while keeping all other hyper-parameters the same. Let βs = (μs, βs), τs = σ −2 s and θ = (β1, . . . ,βs, τ1, . . . , τs, b̄), the marginal...

Spatio-temporal association rules mining is a key technology and a hot issue in the field of spatio-temporal data mining. The classical Apriori algorithm is usually utilized to detect the spatio-temporal association rules from the spatio-temporal transaction table, which is derived from the original spatio-temporal data. In most existing approaches to generate the spatio-temporal transaction ta...

SUMMARY This article presents an overview of eigenproblems that arise in current nite-element computations. We focus on a set of applications that have been studied at CERFACS, Centre Europ een de Recherche et de Formation Avanc ee en Calcul Scientiique, and describe the ideas and tools that have been developed to deal with them. The main characteristics of ve diierent cases are given. We also ...

Temporary employment has become a major concern in the last decades: it is seen as the result of the continuous changes in the working system around the world. The effects of temporary employment for the employees and the organization have not been established yet, because there are many variables that can affect the observed outcomes. This article addresses the literature about temporary emplo...

The aim of this study was to uncover factors accounting for the ability of children with specific language impairment (SLI) to learn agreement morphemes in intervention. Twenty-five children with SLI who participated in a six-month intervention program focused on teaching third person singular -s or auxiliary is/are/was showed a wide range of use of the target morpheme after intervention. Regre...

Housing transactions are executed and recorded daily, but are routinely pooled into longer time periods for the measurement and analysis of housing price trends. We utilize an unusually rich data set, covering essentially all arm's length housing sales in Sweden for a dozen years, in an attempt to understand the effect of temporal aggregation upon estimates of housing prices and their volatilit...

The aim of the study was to analyses the relation between the selected speed, agility, and neuromuscular power test items. The sample of subjects consisted of 154 male and 152 female young tennis players. Using six motor and three anthropometrical tests we investigate differences between males and females and between two age categories. Finally, we analyzed the relation between motor and anthro...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the adverse impact of ignoring statistical interactions in regression models used in epidemiologic studies. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Based on different scenarios that involved known values for coefficient of the interaction term in Cox regression models we generated 1000 samples of size 600 each. The simulated samples and a real life data set from the Cameron County H...

Capability of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) method in extraction of the coherent structures from a spatio-temporal chaotic field is assessed in this paper. As the chaotic field, an ensemble of 40 snapshots, obtained from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation, has been used. Contrary to the usual methods, where the ergodicity of the field is need...

We used the event-related potential (ERP) approach combined with a subtraction technique to explore the timecourse of activation of semantic and phonological representations in the picture-word interference paradigm. Subjects were exposed to to-be-named pictures superimposed on to-be-ignored semantically related, phonologically related, or unrelated words, and distinct ERP waveforms were genera...
