The dynamics model, which is based on L. Talmy's (1988) theory of force dynamics, characterizes causation as a pattern of forces and a position vector. In contrast to counterfactual and probabilistic models, the dynamics model naturally distinguishes between different cause-related concepts and explains the induction of causal relationships from single observations. Support for the model is pro...

How entrepreneurs make entrepreneurial decisions to improve performance is a popular concern in both theoretical and practical circles. Existing studies mostly analyze the effect of decision-making logic on survival growth new ventures from perspective financial performance, but few focus venture sustainability.

BACKGROUND Clinical end users of MEDLINE must be able to retrieve articles that are both scientifically sound and directly relevant to clinical practice. The use of methodologic search filters has been advocated to improve the accuracy of searching for such studies. These filters are available for the literature on therapy and diagnosis, but strategies for the literature on causation have been ...

Canonical correlation analysis is a widely used multivariate statistical technique for exploring the relation between two sets of variables. This paper considers the problem of estimating the leading canonical correlation directions in high dimensional settings. Recently, under the assumption that the leading canonical correlation directions are sparse, various procedures have been proposed for...

The objective of this article is to show that it is justified to assert that the existence of God is plausible, considering the fact that thinking itself is an immediate outcome (effect) of a thinker (cause). This idea may seem evident, but it is in fact challenged by certain claims of cognitive philosophers who aver that our knowledge of necessity and causation is, i...

aggregation of pharmaceutical proteins reduces the efficiency and increases the cost of production. it can also lead to the reduced efficacy of drug or cause side effects on the patient’s body. investigating how to create them plays an important role to find agents that prevents the aggregation. this study was allocated for understanding the mechanism of formation of the reteplase protein using...

Network traces are a useful tool in understanding how users navigate the web. Knowing the sequence of pages that led a user to arrive at a malicious website can help researchers develop techniques to prevent users from reaching such sites. Nevertheless, inferring sound causation between HTTP requests is a challenging task. Previous work often inferred these relationships without proper calibrat...
