The study deals with the perceived reasons for nonparticipation in adult learning and education (ALE), drawing on existing research concerning motivation lifelong learning, attitudes towards education, of dispositional barriers. aim is to determine subjective reasons/motivation adults not participate ALE what factors influence their nonparticipation. For this purpose, we drew self-determination...

The treatment of systematic errors is often mishandled. This is due to lack of understanding and education, based on a fundamental ambiguity as to what is meant by the term. This note addresses the problems and offers guidance to good practice. 1 RIVAL DEFINITIONS: UNCERTAINTY AND MISTAKE 1.1 Random Uncertainties and Mistakes The word error is used in several ways. The everyday dictionary defin...

"We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be"-George Bernard Shaw "Every man has a right to his opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts."-Bernard M. Baruch "The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd, indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind,...

In this paper, for the above discrete system of pure-delay type, by improving the former work (2002, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 273, 492-511) which extended the averaged condition offered by S. Ahmad and A. C. Lazer (2000, Nonlinear Analysis 40, 37-49), we offer conditions of persistence, and considering a Lyapunov-like discrete function to the above discrete system, we establish sufficient condition...

In this article we introduce the Arcade Learning Environment (ALE): both a challenge problem and a platform and methodology for evaluating the development of general, domain-independent AI technology. ALE provides an interface to hundreds of Atari 2600 game environments, each one different, interesting, and designed to be a challenge for human players. ALE presents significant research challeng...

This paper provides a literature review on Adaptive Line Enhancer (ALE) methods based on adaptive noise cancellation systems. Such methods have been used in various applications, including communication systems, biomedical engineering, and industrial applications. Developments in ALE in noise cancellation are reviewed, including the principles, adaptive algorithms, and recent modifications on t...

The present contribution aims at providing a variational arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) framework for hyperelastostatic as well as hyperelastodynamic problem classes. To this end, a fixed third configuration, the ALE reference or intrinsic configuration, has to be introduced next to the moving spatial and material configuration. The essential idea of the present work is the reformulation o...
