Do children spontaneously represent spatial-numeric features of a task, even when it does not include printed numbers (Mix et al., 2016)? Sixty first grade students completed a novel spatial estimation task by seeking and finding pages in a 100-page book without printed page numbers. Children were shown pages 1 through 6 and 100, and then were asked, "Can you find page X?" Children's precision ...

In distributed networks several nodes aim to estimate the signals broadcasted by the sources in a cooperative fashion by exchanging information among neighboring nodes. Consensus based estimation is a specific class of In-NetworkProcessing (INP) techniques and the Distributed Consensusbased Estimation (DiCE) algorithm is an efficient realization for the Least Squares (LS) estimation problem. In...

OBJECTIVE The Game Dice Task (GDT) was developed to measure decision making under known risk. The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the GDT to a Brazilian population. METHOD After the GDT was translated and back-translated to Brazilian Portuguese and evaluated by eight bilingual judges, 175 Brazilian adults were divided into two groups - 160 healthy volunteers and 15 traumatic brai...

An 8-bit programmable square finder cum frequency divider architecture is presented. This special architecture includes a high speed parallel counter, clock trigger circuit, eight bit multiplier logic, sequence termination logic and sequence restarter logic. The entire architecture is divided into two parts: The frequency divider section and the square finder section. The frequency divider circ...

Entropy is a measure of probabilistic uncertainty. In 1957, E.T. Jaynes introduced his idea of the principle of Maximum Entropy. This idea states that by finding a distribution with the maximum entropy, one maximizes the uncertainty constrained to the given information. In essence, this involves using all of the known information, and assuming nothing about the distribution. In this report, we ...

About …fty years ago, Efron noted some counterintuitive properties of the long-term behavior of contests involving dice. For instance, consider the 6-sided dice whose sides are labeled (4,4,4,4,0,0), (3,3,3,3,3,3), (6,6,2,2,2,2), and (5,5,5,1,1,1). Each die has a 2/3 probability of rolling a higher number than the next one in the list, and the last has the same 2/3 probability of rolling a high...

“No matching product found” is an undesirable message for the user of an online product finder application or interactive recommender system. Query Relaxation is an approach to recovery from such retrieval failures and works by eliminating individual parts of the original query in order to find products that satisfy as many of the user’s constraints as possible. In this paper, new techniques fo...

Einstein initially objected to the probabilistic aspect of quantum mechanics— the idea that God is playing at dice. Later he changed his ground, and focussed instead on the point that the Copenhagen Interpretation leads to what Einstein saw as the abandonment of physical realism. We argue here that Einstein's initial intuition was perfectly sound, and that it is precisely the fact that quantum ...

LetK, L be congruent regular polyhedra in R. Let g denote a rigid motion of R, that is, g(x) = Φx+τ where Φ is a 3×3 rotation matrix and τ is a translation 3-vector. The polyhedraK, g(L) are said to touch ifK∩g(L) 6= ∅ but int(K)∩int(g(L)) = ∅. Alternatively, we may think of ΦL moving toward K in the direction τ , stopping precisely when the two polyhedra collide. Let us sample the space SO3 of...
