In this paper we propose a technique to incorporate contextual information into object classification. In the real world there are cases where the identity of an object is ambiguous due to the noise in the measurements based on which the classification should be made. It is helpful to reduce the ambiguity by utilizing extra information referred to as context, which in our case is the identities...

In order to achieve the objective, we first organize activities in cognitive skill and metacognitive skill. It enables us to reveal what activity existing le...

In another sense, it asks what it takes to construct an interpretation of a physical theory; that is, what resources are fair game for articulating an offering...

All 95 undergraduates in this study decided if letter strings formed real words or not. Word meaning (ambiguous, unambiguous words) was manipulated within subjects while stimulus proportion (proportion of ambiguous and unambiguous words) was manipulated between subjects. These factors interacted, suggesting that strategic factors influence word recognition. These results support the view that w...

ABO blood type antigens are polymorphic, inherited structures presented on the surface of red blood cells. Although ABO blood group antigens is the most important antigens in transfusion medicine, its main role is not clearly clarified. Correlation between ABO blood group and susceptibility to certain infectious and non-infectious diseases is a controversial issue. Since, lack of blood type ant...
