ION LEVEL OF MESSAGE Abstraction level was analyzed as a function of task interdependence and valence of target’s behavior. Both were between-participants variables. The predicted two-way interaction was significant, F(1, 43) = 9.58, p < .005 (see Table 1). As expected, negative target behaviors were described more abstractly in the competition condition (M = 2.40) than the cooperation conditio...

Assume that we have some data D and a model M of the process that generated the data. The model has some parameters θ, the specific value of which we do not know but wish to estimate. If the model is properly constructed, we will be able to calculate the probability of it generating the observed data given a specific set of parameter values, P (D|θ,M). Often, the conditioning on the model is su...

the variants of angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) and matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of end stage renal disease (esrd) and hypertension. we studied the ace insertion/deletion (i/d) and mmp-7 a-181g variants in 99 unrelated esrd patients and 117 individuals without renal complications from western iran with kurdish ethnic background. the frequency ...

Lemma 2 Let A be an atom and P |= A. Then A has an implication tree wrt. P . Proof: We construct a model M of P . Let |M| be the set of all terms (with variables) and let fM(~t ) := f(~t ). Let rM(~t ) be true if and only if r(~t ) has an implication tree wrt. P . We claim that M is a model of P . If B is a fact of P then for every substitution (variable assignment) θ the atom Bθ is an implicat...

Performance trends in elite butterfly swimmers are well known, but less information is available regarding master butterfly swimmers. We investigated trends in participation, performance and sex differences in 9,606 female and 13,250 male butterfly race times classified into five-year master groups, from 25-29 to 90-94 years, competing in the FINA World Masters Championships between 1986 and 20...

We consider the classes M(p)  (1 < p < ∞) of holomorphic functions on the open unit disk 𝔻 in the complex plane. These classes are in fact generalizations of the class M introduced by Kim (1986). The space M (p) equipped with the topology given by the metric ρ p defined by ρp (f, g) = ||f - g|| p = (∫0(2π) log(p) (1 + M(f - g)(θ))(dθ/2π))(1/p), with f, g ∈ M (p) and Mf(θ) = sup 0 ⩽ r<1 ⁡|f(re(i...
