Objective(s): Stress alters sensory and cognitive function in humans and animals. Angiotensin (AT) receptors have demonstrated well-established interactions in sets of physiological phenomena. AT1 receptors can play a part in stress-induced activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis; besides angiotensinergic neurotransmission plays a pivotal role in stress-evoked physiological resp...

Judicial proof accrues evidence to confirm or deny hypotheses about world events relevant to a legal case. Software applications that seek to support the process of judicial proof must provide the user with sophisticated capabilities to represent and manipulate evidential reasoning for legal cases. This requires computational techniques to represent the actors, entities, events and context of w...

A detailed environment representation is a crucial component of automated vehicles. Using single range sensor scans, data is often too sparse and subject to occlusions. Therefore, we present a method to augment occupancy grid maps from single views to be similar to evidential occupancy maps acquired from different views using Deep Learning. To accomplish this, we estimate motion between subsequ...

Laboratory studies of human category learning tend to emphasize passive learning by limiting participants’ control over the information they experience on every trial. In contrast, we explore the impact that active data selection has on category learning. In our experiment, participants attempted to learn categories under either entirely passive conditions, or by actively selecting and querying...

This paper presents a comparison of two architectures for belief propagation in evidential networks, namely the binary join tree using joint belief functions [9] and the modified binary join tree using conditional belief functions [2]. This comparison is done from the perspective of graphical structure, messagepassing scheme, computational efficiency, storage efficiency, and complexity analysis...

INTRODUCTION Domestic violence is a continual stressor that motivates its victim to react. The way a woman deals with her husband's violence determine the consequence of the violent relationship. In the present study, a qualitative approach was employed to investigate women's reactions to and ways of coping with domestic violence. METHOD Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2014 with ...

In some languages, every declarative sentence includes a morpheme specifying the speaker’s evidence or source of information. This article provides an overview of the central theoretical questions addressed in recent research on Evidential morphemes. First, I discuss the question of whether Evidentials constitute a coherent closed-class system, independent of other systems of grammar. Next, I b...

With the increasing development of China's automobile market, the automotive service profits have become a major part of the industry’s profits. However, the after-sale service is still on passive service mode. This mode has some limitations, such as the low service quality of the recommended service items and the lack of personalized service, which seriously affect the quality of the automotiv...

A new clustering method for object data, called ECM (Evidential c-means) is introduced, in the theoretical framework of belief functions. It is based on the concept of credal partition, extending those of hard, fuzzy and possibilistic ones. To derive such a structure, a suitable objective function is minimized using a FCM-like algorithm. A validity index allowing the determination of the proper...

In this paper, we would like to investigate the relationship between evidential structures (ES)—the basic qualitative structures of Dempster-Shafer theory, and the data table based knowledge representation systems(KRS) subject to rough set analysis. It is shown that an ES has a natural representation as a data table and from a given data table and two of its attributes, an ES can be extracted. ...
