objectives: the attentional control scale is a self- report questionnaire that assesses individual differences in attentional control. despite its extensive use, the psychometric properties of the persian version of the acs are not well understood. thus, the present study aimed at investigating the psychometric properties of the attentional control scale and its relationship with symptoms of an...

This paper discusses some of the relevant steps towards optimum face recognition in the framework of decision theory. In particular, it addresses the central question, how to estimate joint image probability distributions based on a strongly limited number of example images. This leads to a new, morphing based approach which combines varying view, varying illumination, and inter-personal variat...

In this paper we search for the optimum tests that minimize the sum of two error probabilities.

Chu and Liu, Ecbnonds, and Bock have independently devised an ef f ic ient aZgorYithm to f i n d an optimum branching i n a d i rected haph. runs i n O(m2ogn) time i f the problem graph has n vertices and m edges. A modification for dense graphs gives a running time 2 of O(n 1. We also show that the unmodified algorithm runs i n 2 O(n(Zog n) + m) time on an average graph, asswning a uniform pro...

The optimum Runge-Kutta method of a particular order is the one whose truncation error is a minimum. Various measures of the size of the truncation error are considered. The optimum method is practically independent of the measure being used. Moreover, among methods of the same order which one might consider using the difference in size of the estimated error is not more than a factor of 2 or 3...

H E preceding paper by DEMPSTER and LERNER has presented the results T obtained in the determination of expected genetic gains in egg production under different age compositions of a breeding flock. In it the theoretical and practical consequences of following a given breeding plan were emphasized but the statistical model on which the computations were based was not presented. The purpose of t...

We have developed a 1:30000 winding ratio cryogenic current comparator (CCC) for measurement of small currents, e.g., generated by a single electron transport device. A dedicated low-noise SQUID is used for the readout, which allows reaching a sensitivity close to ideal, that is without loss of sensitivity in the flux transformer coupling the CCC and the SQUID. The CCC-SQUID equivalent current ...
