Background and Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between RST traits and emotion dysregulation include social anxiety, general anxiety, and depression in a student. Materials and methods: 189 students studying at one of the public universities in Tehran were selected by convenience sampling method and then the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized An...

Reinforcement learning approach is learning how to map environment situations to actions, to maximize a reward signal. In this project, the SARSA(l) algorithm is applied to teach a robot to follow a wall and avoid running into obstacles. The robot is equipped with a laser scanner and odometry to perform the learning. The robot senses environment situation from the laser readings and decides whi...

The appraisal portion of the strategic plan has long been a problem. How do you reward the achievement and performance of individuals as they operate the organization's strategic plan? How do you use the performance appraisal area to motivate the management team to achieve the objective in the strategic plan? How do you provide incentive for your people to stay with your organization? How do yo...

this review gives an overview of our recent findings and developments in research on brain mechanisms of morphine reward from studies using the place preference conditioning paradigm. intracranial place conditioning methodology has become a valuable and firmly established and very widely used tool in behavioural pharmacology and drug reward mechanisms. several studies have established that morp...

In this study, we propose and analyze in simulations a new, highly flexible method of implementing synaptic plasticity in a wafer-scale, accelerated neuromorphic hardware system. The study focuses on globally modulated STDP, as a special use-case of this method. Flexibility is achieved by embedding a general-purpose processor dedicated to plasticity into the wafer. To evaluate the suitability o...

introduction: activation of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) glutamate receptors in the nucleus accumbens is a component of drug-induced reward mechanism. in addition, nmda receptors play a major role in brain reward system and activation of these receptors can change firing pattern of dopamine neurons. blockade of glutamatergic neurotransmission reduces the expression of conditioned place preferenc...

this study was aimed at investigating the impact of organizational factors, leadership style, reward system and job design on psychological empowerment and its dimensions. this study was also aimed at measuring the level of employees' psychological empowerment. applied research method was survey-correlation using questionnaire as the measurement tool. statistical population included all em...

In many tasks related to reasoning about consequences of a logical theory, it is desirable to decompose the theory into a number of components with weakly-related or independent signatures. This facilitates reasoning when the signature of a query formula belongs to only one of the components. However, an initial theory may be subject to change due to execution of actions affecting features ment...

In this paper we consider updates that are specified as rules and consider simple knowledge bases consisting of ground atoms. We present a translation of the rule based update specifications to extended logic programs using situation calculus notation so as to compute the updated knowledge base. We show that the updated knowledge base that we compute satisfies the update specifications and yet ...
