Two experiments investigated the mental representation of spatial descriptions. In Experiment 1, the subjects classified a series of diagrams, each presented after a spatial description, as either consistent or inconsistent with the description. They were then given an unexpected recognition test of their memory for the descriptions. The subjects remembered the meanings of determinate descripti...

A new explicit formula for the integrals of Bernstein polynomials of any degree for any order in terms of Bernstein polynomials themselves is derived. A fast and accurate algorithm is developed for the solution of high even-order boundary value problems (BVPs) with two point boundary conditions but by considering their integrated forms. The Bernstein–Petrov–Galerkinmethod (BPG) is applied to co...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study investigates the role of surrogates' involvement in their partners' end-of-life care planning, focusing on the relationship between the extent and type of end-of-life planning in which surrogates have been involved and the accuracy of their substituted judgments. DESIGN AND METHODS The data come from an internet survey collected by Knowledge Networks and the Na...

Bounds on the end-to-end delay of data flows play a crucial role in di↵erent areas, ranging from certification of hard real-time communication capabilities to quality of experience assurance for end users. Deterministic Network Calculus (DNC) allows to derive worst-case delay bounds; for instance, DNC is applied by the avionics industry to formally verify aircraft networks against strict delay ...
