Changes in cortical thickness over time have been related to intelligence, but whether changes in cortical surface area are related to general cognitive functioning is unknown. We therefore examined the relationship between intelligence quotient (IQ) and changes in cortical thickness and surface over time in 504 healthy subjects. At 10 years of age, more intelligent children have a slightly thi...

This paper presents results of investigation into the development of a measurement of the machine intelligent quotient (MIQ) criterion. This scheme has been devised as an alternative to the traditional human to human natural way of conducting a survey type search. Information in control engineering education awareness results (data) is stored in the computer for ease of retrieval as and when ne...

OBJECTIVE The estimation of a person's intelligence quotient (IQ) by means of psychometric tests is indispensable in the application of psychological assessment to several fields. When complex tests as the Wechsler scales, which are the most commonly used and universally recognized parameter for the diagnosis of degrees of retardation, are not applicable, it is necessary to use other psycho-dia...

The intellectual characteristics of 65 obese children and adolescents (weight for height > or = 140%), aged 8 to 13 years and 11 months, were compared to those of 35 eutrophic children and adolescents (weight for height between 90 and 110%; and stature for age > 95%) of the same age group, utilizing the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--WISC. Children and adolescents of the two groups w...

There are well-known characterizations of the hereditary quotient maps in the category of topological spaces, (that is, of quotient maps stable under pullback along embeddings), as well as of universal quotient maps (that is, of quotient maps stable under pullback). These are precisely the so-called pseudo-open maps, as shown by Arhangel’skii, and the bi-quotient maps of Michael, as shown by Da...

For self-orthogonal modules T , the quotient triangulated categories D(A)/K(addT ) are studied, in particular, their relations with the stable categories of some Frobenius categories are investigated. New descriptions of the singularity categories of Gorenstein algebras are obtained; and the derived categories of Gorenstein algebras are explicitly given, inside the stable categories of the grad...

We show that for any C∗-algebra A, a sufficiently large Hilbert space H and a unit vector ξ ∈ H, the natural application rep(A:H) θξ −−→ Q(A), π 7→ 〈π(−)ξ, ξ〉 is a topological quotient, where rep(A:H) is the space of representations on H and Q(A) the set of quasi-states, i.e. positive linear functionals with norm at most 1. This quotient might be a useful tool in the representation theory of C∗...

We generalize the well-known numerical criterion for projective spaces by Cho, Miyaoka and Shepherd-Barron to varieties with at worst quotient singularities. Let X be a normal projective variety of dimension n ≥ 3 with at most quotient singularities. Our result asserts that if C · (−KX) ≥ n + 1 for every curve C ⊂ X, then X ∼= P .

In this paper, we grasp an inverse eigenvalue problem which constructs a tridiagonal matrix with specified multiple eigenvalues, from the viewpoint of the quotient difference (qd) recursion formula. We also prove that the characteristic and the minimal polynomials of a constructed tridiagonal matrix are equal to each other. As an application of the qd formula, we present a procedure for getting...
