Data from a UK national sample showed differences between the sexes in age-specific inception rates for mania. Women had a higher inception rate than men during the middle years. The cumulative admission rates were nearly equal between the sexes.

The task of computing approximate Nash equilibria in large zero-sum extensive-form games has received a tremendous amount of attention due mainly to the Annual Computer Poker Competition. Immediately after its inception, two competing and seemingly different approaches emerged—one an application of noregret online learning, the other a sophisticated gradient method applied to a convex-concave s...

Teach For America’s size and reach gives it a unique vantage point on educational inequity in America. Since its inception in 1990, Teach For America has recruited, selected, trained, and supported over twenty thousand teachers in urban and rural low-income communities across the country. Currently hundreds of Teach For America program staff, many of whom were highly effective teachers themselv...

The main goal of OPC is to offer philosophically subtle and historically sound accounts of central concepts in the history of philosophy. Each volume will be a history of its concept in that it will offer a story about the most significant events in the life of the concept from its original inception through its transformations to its modern use. The point of this narrative is to deepen underst...

Since its inception, Compact Disc (CD)-based centrifugal microfluidic technology has drawn a great deal of interest within research communities due to its potential use in biomedical applications. The technology has been referred to by different names, including compact-disc microfluidics, lab-on-a-disk, lab-on-a-CD and bio-disk. This paper critically reviews the state-of-the-art in CD-based ce...

This paper reviews Ranklets, a family of multiscale, orientation-selective , non-parametric features modeled on Haar wavelets. Ranklets are related to wavelets and rank statistics. At the inception, a basic discussion on Ranklets is presented here. Next a focus is given to the various algorithms used so far to compute Ranklets with their complexities. The different applications of Ranklets in t...

This study examines the relationship between a venture capitalist and an entrepreneur and follows it from its inception to the exit stage. The model we use is a multi-period game theoretic model with moral hazard where the contract is set in the first period. The contribution of the study lies in the insights it provides on optimal contracts and its characterization of an endogenous exit point....

quantum theory poses itself to be a challenging counterpart to the intelligent design argument. quantum physics founded upon uncertainty, probability and statistics has exerted great influence since its inception on the philosophical thinking of man. the findings of this theory has helped bring about a dramatic transformation in the notion of ‘order in nature.’ in modern physics, it is hardly p...

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) are an influential tool for solving various problems in the machine learning and computer vision fields. In this paper, we introduce a new deep learning model called an InceptionRecurrent Convolutional Neural Network (IRCNN), which utilizes the power of an inception network combined with recurrent layers in DCNN architecture. We have empirically evalua...

The inception voltage of the positive corona discharges (CIV) in a typical wire-cylinder electrode arrangement in air, under high voltage dc application, has been studied by implementing the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Numerical analysis has been carried out on the electric field intensity, along the wire-cylinder gap axis, in order to determine the inception voltage of each air gap and defi...
