Front-of-package nutrition symbols (FOPs) are presumably readily noticeable and require minimal prior nutrition knowledge to use. Although there is evidence to support this notion, few studies have focused on Facts Up Front type symbols which are used in the US. Participants with varying levels of prior knowledge were asked to view two products and decide which was more healthful. FOPs on packa...

abstract: in this study, it has been tried to test the accuracy of output and hence the model efficiency in the predictions of 24 and 48 hour precipitation forecasting by choosing different schemes be assessed. therefore, in order to test the accuracy of model product, two conditions of rainfall precipitation and lack of rainfall precipitation were considered. four thresholds were taken. adapti...

Semi-Lagranging schemes have been explored by several authors recently for transport problems in particular for moving interfaces using level set method. We incorporate the backward error compensation method developed in [2] into the semi-Lagranging schemes with almost the same simplicity and three times the complexity of a first order semi-Lagranging scheme but improve the order of accuracy. W...

We show that any conservative scheme for solving scalar conservation laws in two space dimensions, which is total variation diminishing, is at most first-order accurate.

A response signal, speed–accuracy tradeoff (SAT) variant of a same–different category task was used to examine how experience affects the speed and accuracy of retrieving conceptual information in first (L1) and second (L2) languages. Conceptual retrieval was evaluated in three bilingual groups: 10 balanced bilinguals with equal proficiency in Russian (L1) and English (L2); 9 Russian-dominant b...
