objective: the aim of this study is to explore the confirmatory factor analysis results of the persian adaptation of statistics anxiety measure (sam), proposed by earp. method: the validity and reliability assessments of the scale were performed on 298 college students chosen randomly from tabriz university in iran. confirmatory factor analysis (cfa) was carried out to determine the factor stru...

When the adaptation level is not high enough, the maximum adaptation stimulus is not equal with the plot of illuminant. This property is accepted in this paper. Using this property, we propose a chromatic adaptation model for the level of adapting luminance and chromaticity in various surrounding illuminants. In this model, we calculate the maximum adapting responses using adapting degree for v...

In this paper we address the issue of building language models for very small training sets by adapting existing corpora. In particular we investigate methods that combine task specific unigrams with longer range models trained on a background corpus. We propose a new method to adapt class models and show how fast marginal adaptation can be improved. Instead of estimating the adaptation unigram...

Like other software artefacts, metamodels evolve over time. We propose a transformational approach to assist metamodel evolution by stepwise adaptation. In the first part of the paper, we adopt ideas from grammar engineering to define several semanticsand instancepreservation properties in terms of metamodel relations. This part is not restricted to any metamodel formalism. In the second part, ...
