Word prediction is often recommended by therapists as a means to improve typing speed for clients with physical limitations. While literature suggests that word prediction does have an effect on writing proficiency, increased speed is not one of it's benefits when used with a standard keyboard. One reason given for the failure of word prediction to accelerate typing is that the user must look a...

New product reliability prediction has been center of research studies for many years. Reliability prediction focuses on developing a proper reliability model based on available data. Early life reliability prediction is challenging due to the lack of available data thus it is important to use a proper method for reducing this uncertainty. Bayesian method has been used widely in different area ...

Proteins are sequences of amino acids bound into a linear chain that adopt a specific folded three-dimensional (3D) shape. This specific folded shape enables proteins to perform specific tasks. The protein structure prediction (PSP) by ab initio or de novo approach is promising amongst various available computational methods and can help to unravel the important relationship between sequence an...

Predicting crystal structure is one of the most fundamental problems in materials science and a key early step in computational materials design. Ab initio simulation methods are a powerful tool for predicting crystal structure, but are too slow to explore the extremely large space of possible structures for new alloys. Here we describe ongoing work on a novel method (Data Mining of Quantum Cal...

There is no uniformly accepted clinical definition for congestive heart failure (CHF), although criteria have been published by various groups. There is also no reference standard for CHF, although left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) gives a quantitative assessment of systolic function and is useful in predicting prognosis. To determine the relationship between LVEF and clinically diagnos...

Reliability is the ability of a part or product to perform as intended (i.e., without failure and within specified performance limits) for a specified time, in its life cycle application environment. Reliability specification and demonstration is an activity between customers and suppliers. In the absence of proper procedure, this activity may not meet the customer requirements and product need...

We present a series of learning algorithms and theoretical guarantees for designing accurate ensembles of structured prediction tasks. This includes several randomized and deterministic algorithms devised by converting on-line learning algorithms to batch ones, and a boosting-style algorithm applicable in the context of structured prediction with a large number of labels. We give a detailed stu...

Context prediction is the approach to provide applications with information about future contexts. Some work has already been done on predicting future contexts based on the observed context history. The observed context timeline is analysed for typical patterns in the context history. Based on this knowledge the most probable future contexts are forecast. The authors of [1] and [2] study predi...

How to resolve the control flow breaking caused by the branch instructions is a major issue in modern deep pipeline processor design. Our project is based on the paper of J. Stark et. al. [1], a variable length path branch predictor. It uses the branch path information for prediction, and change the length of the path dynamically based on the profiling of the application. It shows that a “cleve...

aim and background: this study was aimed to investigate the possibility of predicting success or failure in marital relationships according to adult attachment styles and religious attitudes. method and materials: this was a case-control study. the sample consisted of 49 divorce-seeking and 52 intact couples. the divorce-seeking and intact couples were respectively selected through convenient a...
