The present study was designed to examine the hypothesis that stimulus-response arrangements with high ideomotor compatibility lead to substantial compatibility effects even in simple response tasks. In Experiment 1, participants executed pre-instructed finger movements in response to compatible and incompatible finger movements. A pronounced reaction time advantage was found for compatible as ...

A conditionally specified joint model is convenient to use in fields such as spatial data modeling, Gibbs sampling, and missing data imputation. One potential problem with such an approach is that the conditionally specified models may be incompatible, which can lead to serious problems in applications. We propose an odds ratio representation of a joint density to study the issue and derive con...

An approach to compatibility analysis of systems of discrete relations is proposed. Unlike the Gröbner basis technique, the proposed scheme is not based on the polynomial ring structure. It uses more primitive set-theoretic and topological concepts and constructions. We illustrate the approach by application to some two-state cellular automata. In the two-state case the Gröbner basis method is ...

Despite the rapid development of knowledge it still remains fundamental that mistakes within the ABO and Rhesus systems are responsible for virtually all fatal mismatched transfusions. It therefore cannot be too highly stressed that the careful preliminary grouping of the bloods of all patients for transfusion is of prime importance, irrespective of whether there is a previous record of their b...

This writeup describes the models from two papers [1] and [2]. The model in [1] uses the throughput model of [2] for the congestion avoidance phase. There are three phases: connection establishment, Slow Start, Congestion avoidance. This is a model of the congestion control procedures implemented in the Reno version. Only results are provided in this paper. For a detailed derivation, see http:/...
