The text retrieval method using Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) with the truncated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) has been intensively studied in recent years. The term-document matrices after SVD are full matrices, although the rank is reduced substantially. To reduce memory consumption, we examine some strategies to sparsify the truncated SVD matrices. After applying the sparsification str...

Enabling trust on the Semantic Web to ensure more efficient agent interaction is an important research topic. Current research on trust seems to focus on developing computational models, semantic representations, inference techniques, etc. However, little attention has been given to the plausible trust strategies or tactics that an agent can follow when interacting with other agents on the Sema...

The text retrieval method using Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) technique with truncated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) has been intensively studied in recent years. The SVD reduces the noise contained in the original representation of the term-document matrix and improves the information retrieval accuracy. Recent studies indicate that SVD is mostly useful for small homogeneous data collect...

By means of several examples of structural operational semantics for a variety of languages, we justify the importance and interest of using the notions of strategies and simulations in the semantic framework provided by rewriting logic and implemented in the Maude metalanguage. On the one hand, we describe a basic strategy language for Maude and show its application to CCS, the ambient calculu...

Task performance suffers when an aspect of a stimulus is associated with an incorrect response, thereby evoking cognitive conflict. Such impairment is reduced after recent or frequent conflict occurrence, suggesting attentional adjustment. We examined adjustment to conflict evoked by a temporarily irrelevant S-R rule when participants frequently switched between two semantic classification task...

OBJECTIVE The study examines the association between mental adjustment, coping strategies [emotion (EF) and problem focused (PF)], and psychological distress. METHOD Sixty end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were interviewed a year or more after they began dialysis, measured by the COPE, Mental Adjustment to Cancer (MAC), and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) scales. RESULTS The main findin...

BACKGROUND Adult emotion regulation is not only occurring within the person but includes strategies that happen in social interactions and that are framed as co-regulating. The current study investigates the role of the interpersonal emotion regulation strategies of co-reappraisal and co-brooding in couples for adjustment disorder symptoms as the disorder will be outlined in the International C...
