Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) is a method to extract homogeneous clusters characterized by common response profile. Previous works employing LPA human value segmentation tend select small number of moderately based on model selection criteria such as Akaike information criterion, Bayesian criterion and Entropy. The question whether all that can be gl...

The paper introduces LOGAN-H —a system for learning first-order function-free Horn expressions from interpretations. The system is based on an algorithm that learns by asking questions and that was proved correct in previous work. The current paper shows how the algorithm can be implemented in a practical system, and introduces a new algorithm based on it that avoids interaction and learns from...

BACKGROUND Alternation of heart rate between 2 values using a pacemaker generates oscillations in end-tidal CO(2) (et-CO(2)). This study examined (a) whether modulating atrioventricular delay can also do this, and (b) whether more gradual variation of cardiac output can achieve comparable changes in et-CO(2) with less-sudden changes in blood pressure. METHODS AND RESULTS We applied pacemaker ...

This paper presents a set description logic with subsorts, feature selection (the inverse of unary function application), agreement, intersection , union and complement. We deene a model theoretic open world semantics and show that sorted feature structures constitute a canon-ical model, that is, without loss of generality subsumption and consistency of set descriptions can be considered with r...

(i) To have more confidence in claims’ authors, it should be more useful to use frequency spectra of the surface elevation, namely to demonstrate quantitatively the period doubling and edge wave suppression. We have added a new Figure 3, where we show two frequency spectra. The first spectrum (Figure 3 a) is in absence of the breaking waves, where the first peak indicates the edge wave frequenc...

This paper deals with the study of the spectral components of Lamb waves generated in thin aluminium plate using pulsed Nd-YAG laser and detected using a He-Ne Laser Heterodyne interferometer. Laser generation of Lamb waves leads to simultaneous generation of various frequency component as well as multiple Lamb wave modes. The Lamb wave signals are successfully and comprehensively analyzed usin...

We calculate the electronic structure in quasiperiodic double-moir\'e systems of graphene sandwiched by hexagonal boron nitride, and identify topological invariants energy gaps. find that spectrum contains a number minigaps, they exhibit recursive fractal similar to Hofstadter butterfly when plotted against twist angle. Each gaps can be characterized set integers, which are associated with an a...

The study is devoted to a linear stability problem for system of two horizontal porous sublayers separated by an air interlayer under the influence gravity field. are capable generating heat with constant volumetric strength source proportional solid volume fraction. Equal temperatures maintained at external boundaries three-layered system. onset value internal convection numerically determined...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to rise. Although glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor medications are effective, there are differences between these products, including method of administration (injectable versus oral). The objective of this study was to examine patient preferences (and predictors of preferences) fo...

For a positive integer m and a subgroup Λ of the unit group (Z/mZ)×, the corresponding generalized Kloosterman sum is the function K(a, b,m,Λ) = ∑ u∈Λ e( au+bu−1 m ). Unlike classical Kloosterman sums, which are real valued, generalized Kloosterman sums display a surprising array of visual features when their values are plotted in the complex plane. In a variety of instances, we identify the pr...
