Measures valence, arousal, dominance were collected analyzed across semantic categories, parts speech depending on gender study participants for both...

The main two drawbacks of nearest neighbor based classifiers are: high CPU costs when the number of samples in the training set is high and performance extremely sensitive to outliers. Several attempts of overcoming such drawbacks have been proposed in the pattern recognition field aimed at selecting/gen-erating an adequate subset of prototypes from the training set. The problem addressed in th...

The by-product from tuna processing is a potential source of edible protein. Therefore, it is very important to extract protein from such raw materials for human food. In this study the optimum pH for protein extraction from tuna by-products was optimized by using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the single factor model were used...

Beginning in the late 1960s, psychologists began to challenge the view the definitional theory of concepts. According to that theory a concept is a mental representation comprising representations of properties (or “features”) that are individually necessary and jointly sufficient for membership in a category. In place of the definitional view, psychologists initially put forward the prototype ...

In a series of studies, prototype theory was applied to describe the nature, variability, and effect of jurors' conceptions of insanity. Specifically, (a) 80 jurors described the features of their prototypes of insanity, (b) 5 jurors combined similar features to develop a core set of features to measure individual differences, and (c) 135 jurors and 236 undergraduates completed measures of indi...
