– The LARS-MLE algorithm, an efficient algorithm that returns the unpenalized Maximum Likelihood Estimates (MLEs) for all non-zero subsets of variables encountered along the LARS regularization path. – The Two-Metric Projection algorithm used for L1-regularized Logistic Regression. – The L1PC algorithm, a relaxed form of the L1MB algorithm that allows scaling to much larger graphs. – Extensions...

Mobility of high income individuals across borders puts pressure on governments to lower taxes. A central tenet the underlying theoretical and empirical models is that mobile react tax differentials through migration, in turn immobile households vote for taxes face a migration threat. In light behavioural economics research it not clear, however, whether this premise holds. particular, politica...

Peer Assisted Leaning (PAL) programmes have been shown to enhance learner confidence and an overall positive effect on comprehension, particularly in subjects traditionally perceived as difficult. This research describes the findings of a three-cycle Action Research study into benefits implementing such programme for mature students enrolled computer science programming module Access Foundation...

The problem in learning during the covid-19 pandemic is how university implements effective online for students. In order to facilitate be more comprehensive and integrated, development of an integrated system, namely system Flexibel Learning or Leaning management, expected increase effectiveness learning. research method this study a mixed-method with sequential exploratory model. begins quali...

Non-exclusive sexuality identity labels such as “mostly straight” and gay” describe distinct sexualities. While research documents their existence distinctiveness, little focus has been given to friendship dynamics with these groups on a heteronormative bias. In this study, we use data collected 25 men non-exclusive sexualities from university in the northeastern United States examine intimacy ...

The effects of the VDT screen height on working posture and electromyographic (EMG) activities of the neck and shoulder muscles were determined in 10 healthy subjects. The subjects performed a mouse-driven interactive task at the screen height settings of 80, 100 and 120 cm. Changes in body positions were measured by video image and frame analysis. Surface EMG recordings were done on the neck e...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a pouring technique for implant-supported prostheses impressions. A metallic matrix (control group) with two implants positioned at 90 and 65 degrees was fabricated. The matrix was submitted to the direct transfer impression technique. In group CP (conventional pouring - n = 10), casts were obtained by the conventional pouring technique. In ...
