Modeling human decision making in strategic problem domains is challenging with normative game theoretic approaches. Behavioral aspects of this type of decision making, such as forgetfulness or misattribution of reward, require additional parameters to capture their effect on decisions. We propose a descriptive model utilizing aspects of behavioral game theory, machine learning, and prospect th...

Generic face recognition systems identify a subject by comparing the subject’s image to images in an existing face database[11]. These systems are very useful in forensics for criminal identification[7] and in security for biometric authentication[8], but are constrained by the availability and quality of subject images[1]. In this paper, we propose a novel system, FIDA, that uses descriptive n...

In this paper we study the properties of systems of bounded arithmetic capturing small complexity classes and state conditions sufficient for such systems to capture the corresponding complexity class tightly. Our class of systems of bounded arithmetic is the class of secondorder systems with comprehension axiom for a syntactically restricted class of formulas Φ ⊂ Σ 1 based on a logic in the de...

The objective of the research is to prove whether using movies differentiates students' achievement in descriptive style speaking between students who are taught and non-movies. subject this was seventh grade classes VII B C. number forty-four. design used as experimental research. After doing treatments, researcher gave a post-test both with same instrument. data had been collected by test, it...

We describe our development and use of DescriptiveEnvironment (DE). This is a program to aid researchers in Finite Model Theory and students of logic to automatically generate examples, counterexamples of conjectures, reductions between problems, and visualizations of structures and queries. DescriptiveEnvironment is available for free use under an ISC license at http://www.cs.umass.edu/∼immerm...

In the treatment of superficial lesions with 8-13 MeV electrons, lead shields are often used to protect the underlying tissue. Measurements were made with film and ion chamber to analyse various aspects of external and internal shielding in electron beam therapy. Data were obtained on the thickness of lead required for shielding, the effect of blocking on dose-rate, electron-backscattering from...
