most people have experienced anxiety in their lives. anxiety is necessary to continue the life but intense anxiety can be reduced person’s efficiency and avoided rational thinking and decision making. the goal of this study was to determine the relationship between levels of anxiety and social adaptation in female students of science and research branch, islamic azad university, tehran, iran. 1...

conclusions although the cmr was originally designed for use in tc treatment, this study suggests that it is also applicable, with some modifications, in short-term residential camps. also, it is concluded that the persian translation of the cmr can be applied for studies among persian addicts. background treatment motivation has always been an important issue in substance abuse treatment. in r...

In this paper an unsupervised intra-speaker variability compensation method, ISVC, and unsupervised model adaptation are tested to address the problem of limited enrolling data in text-dependent speaker verification. In contrast to model adaptation methods, ISVC is memoryless with respect to previous verification attempts. As shown here, unsupervised model adaptation can lead to substantial imp...

Recent studies reported two opposite types of adaptation in temporal perception. Here, we propose a bayesian model of sensory adaptation that exhibits both types of adaptation. We regard adaptation as the adaptive updating of estimations of time-evolving variables, which determine the mean value of the likelihood function and that of the prior distribution in a bayesian model of temporal percep...

We investigate the integration of various language model adaptation approaches for a cross-genre adaptation task to improve Mandarin ASR system performance on a recently introduced new genre, broadcast conversation (BC). Various language model adaptation strategies are investigated and their efficacies are evaluated based on ASR performance, including unsupervised language model adaptation from...

Parkinson disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive and debilitating disease. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the dimensions of Roy Adaptation Model (RAM) and General Health (GH) and Satisfaction with Life (SWL) in PD patients. This was a cross-sectional study. Samples were selected from the PD patients in 2016. The data was gathered by demographic, RAM, GH and SWL Scale que...

Ubiquitous access to websites stresses the importance of adaptation for modern websites. The design and management of decisiontaking adaptation engines has become a major research challenge. This paper proposes a bandit-based adaptation decisional model and shows how to describe and manage adaptation policies using a lightweight XML-based description language. The model allows a web marketeer t...

A revised computational model of the inner-hair cell (IHC) and auditory-nerve (AN) complex was recently presented [Sumner et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 111, 2178-2188 (2002)]. One key improvement is that the model reproduces the rate-intensity functions of low- (LSR), medium- (MSR), and high-spontaneous rate (HSR) fibers in the guinea-pig. Here we describe the adaptation characteristics of the mo...
