Health Check (HC) was a voluntary nutrition labeling program developed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada as a guide to help consumers choose healthy foods. Items meeting nutrient criteria were identified with a HC symbol. This study examined the impact of the program on differences in consumer awareness and use of nutritional information in restaurants. Exit surveys were conducted wi...

ion. Symbol-level fusion may be the only means by which sensory information can be fused if the information provided by the sensors is very dissimilar or refers to different regions in the environment. The symbols used for fusion can originate either from the processing of the information provided by the sensors in the system, or through symbolic reasoning processes that may make we of a priori...

The thesis of this paper is that in the digital age we are moving away from words and concepts characteristic print age, towards use images symbols. I distinguish between objective symbols as mathematics, cultural poetry religion. Students must learn to move recognizing rules language internalizing norms culture, according analogy learning. Ricoeur’s theory interpretation explains passage recog...

Probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA) are often constructed from symbol strings that, in turn, are generated by partitioning time series of sensor signals. This paper focuses on a special class of PFSA, which captures finite history of the symbol strings; these PFSA, called D-Markov machines, have a simple algebraic structure and are computationally efficient to construct and implement. Th...

the subject of womanhood is an attempt to explain why the woman is a symbol of self. i will start the paper with the story of “a’arabi and the caliph” from the view point of symbol and then i will continue with the definition of self, symbol, why the woman is a symbol of self as it is believed by mystics. the allegorical result based on najm razi’s theory shows the accompaniment of self with wi...

In an ever-changing world there is constant pressure on revising long-term memory, such when people or countries change name. What happens to the old, pre-existing information? One possibility is that old associations gradually are weakened and eventually lost. Alternatively, old and no longer relevant information may still be an integral part of memory traces. To test the hypothesis that old m...
