Two experiments examined the role of relational language on analogical transfer. Participants were taught Signal Detection Theory (SDT) embedded in a doctor story. In the experimental condition, relational words accompanied the story. Relational words that shared superficial similarity with the contextual elements facilitated transfer. Without the shared semantics, relational words were detrime...

Some people suffering from diabetes use insulin injection pumps to control the blood glucose level. Sometimes, the fault may occur in the sensor or actuator of these pumps. The main objective of this paper is controlling the blood glucose level at the desired level and fault-tolerant control of these injection pumps. To this end, the eligibility traces algorithm is combined with the sliding mod...

We trace the tragicomic courtship between programming by demonstration and machine learning, two fields that seem made for each other but have never quite got together. A long-term historical perspective illuminates the twin roles of interaction and sequence learning in programming by demonstration, and reveals the parallel growth of machine learning as a research area in its own right. A view ...

If you build it, will they come?" (2016). USDA Forest Service / UNL Faculty Publications. 301. a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o National forests have a wealth of natural amenities that attract over 175 million recreational visitors a year. Although natural amenities draw visitors to national forests, many of the recreational activities that they engage in require built amenities, such as r...

wo years ago several members of the British Thoracic Society independently suggested that, in the light of recent publications, the Standards of Care Committee should update their 1997 advice on suspected acute pulmonary embolism (PE). This issue of Thorax contains the results of this endeavour, with evidence sufficiently robust now to allow these to be called guidelines (see pp 470–83). Those ...

We use distributed publish/subscribe systems to process events in distributed systems. However,There is no algorithms that support for expressing patterns about distributed events. Inspired from the requirements of decentralized, event-driven workflow processing, They have designed a subscription language for expressing correlations among distributed eventsand they illustrate the approach with ...

this time each year, we're asked if there are any advantages to placing Christmas trees or other types of brush piles in lakes for habitat enhancement. To answer that question, we've provided excerpts from an article written by Dr. Mike Allen, Associate Professor here at UF's Dept. of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. 1 Dr. Allen specializes in fisheries ecology and has produced numerous studies ...

n page 703, Kelso et al. complete the trilogy of actin papers with a detailed biochemical analysis of the Drosophila Kelch protein. Like the Arp2/3 complex, Kelch is required for proper actin organization in ovarian ring canals. Although the structure of Kelch suggested that it might act as a dimeric actin cross-linking protein, this activity had not yet been demonstrated. In an impressive seri...
