Tailoring of instructional methods to learner levels of expertise may reduce extraneous cognitive load and improve learning. Contemporary technology-based learning environments have the potential to substantially enable learner-adapted instruction. This paper investigates the effects of adaptive instruction based on using the isolated-interactive elements effect that occurs when learners who ar...

A pot culture experiment was undertaken during January 2021, in the greenhouse of Institute Agriculture Science (IAS), SOA Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha study interactive effects salinity and potassium levels on biomass yield, accumulation uptake K Na by maize. The conducted 2-factorial CRD with three replications twelve treatments consisting two irrigation water (SW0- normal EC-...

We propose a newmethod for entity set expansion that achieves highly accurate extraction by suppressing the effect of semantic drift; it requires a small amount of interactive information. We supplement interactive information to re-train the topic models (based on interactive Unigram Mixtures) not only the contextual information. Although the topic information extracted from an unsupervised co...

Unmet need reflects the extent of discrepancy between women’s fertility intensions and observed contraception usage behavior. This study was done to assess the epidemiological correlates of unmet need for family planning. Prevalence of unmet need for family planning was 8.3% of which 2.6% were limiters and 5.7% were spacers. With the advancement of age, prevalence of unmet need decreased signif...

The analysis of time-dependent data is an important problem in many application domains, and interactive visualization of time-series data can help in understanding patterns in large time series data. Many effective approaches already exist for visual analysis of univariate time series supporting tasks such as assessment of data quality, detection of outliers, or identification of periodically ...

This document is provided as an electronic appendix to the article “A new dissimilarity measure for finding semantic structure in category fluency data with implications for understanding memory organization in schizophrenia”. This appendix contains two parts. In the first we derive a measure of the distance between two items in a fluency list that is appropriately normalized for list-length. T...

The rapid advent of different wireless technologies has posed several new challenges and requirements which current architectures are not able to appropriately deal with. The growing presence of heterogeneous access networks, together with the increasing demands from the end-users, require a re-thinking of current access selection algorithms and appropriate management mechanisms (energy-saving,...

A complete understanding of the relationship between the amino acid sequence and resulting protein function remains an open problem in the biophysical sciences. Current approaches often rely on diagnosing functionally relevant mutations by determining whether an amino acid frequently occurs at a specific position within the protein family. These methods, however, fail to appropriately account f...

Corrective surgery of face, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a complex procedure performed to correct the underlying facial deformities. In case of elective surgeries like these, patients need to make voluntary decisions whether or not undergoing the surgery. Hence, it is very important for them to understand the intricacy of the techniques and potential side effects of the surgery before...
