The purpose of the study was to find out whether the conceptual connection of emotion and motion is holding in the domain of personality traits. In a quantitative study 40 Estonian terms of personality traits were investigated and a conclusion was driven that, indeed, the qualities of emotionality and motion are perceived as co-present characteristics. In further data analysis some visualized m...

Across herd genetic evaluation using BLUP procedures allows individuals from different herds to be validly compared in their relative genetic merit. The potential advantages of across herd analyses to the industry as a whole has meant that such analyses are routinely conducted in Canada and European countries. In Australia, across herd evaluations will become a major tool for small scale breede...

A multi-partition with evaluations is defined by two sets S and X, a collection P, . . . ,P of partitions of S and a function ψ : S → {0, 1} . To each partition P corresponds a person j who cannot distinguish between any two points belonging to the same member of P but can distinguish between different members of P. A cell of a multi-partition is a minimal subset C such that for all j the prope...

Downscaling is an important problem because consistent large-area assessments of forest habitat structure, while feasible, are only feasible when using relatively coarse data and indicators. Techniques are needed to enable more detailed and local interpretations of the national statistics. Using the results of national assessments from land-cover maps, this paper demonstrates downscaling in the...

We propose a new approach to appearance based place recognition from metric 3D maps, exploiting the NDT surface representation. Locations are described with feature histograms based on surface orientation and smoothness, and loop closure can be detected by matching feature histograms. We also present a quantitative performance evaluation using two real-world data sets, one of which is highly se...

Over recent decades, the process of teaching/learning has become ever more complex. The increasing school population, and the advent of new IT applications and of networking, together with the requirement for continuous training, have comprehensively overturned the simplistic approach to the process that had previously been pursued. As a result, the evaluation of the process has also been overh...

There is broad support for the notion that ecosystem services influence human well-being (HWB), however, the means to measure such an effect are elusive. Measures of HWB are commonly used within the fields of psychology, economics, and international development, but thus far have not been integrated fully into ecosystem service assessments. We examine the multidimensional nature of HWB and disc...

Let f : X → Y be a based map of simply connected spaces. The corresponding evaluation map ω : map(X, Y ; f)→ Y induces a homomorphism of homotopy groups whose image in πn(Y ) is called the nth evaluation subgroup of f . The nth Gottlieb group of X occurs as the special case in which Y = X and f = 1X . We identify the homomorphism induced on rational homotopy groups by this evaluation map, in te...
