Optimal Bayesian reasoning performance has reportedly been elusive, and a variety of explanations have been suggested for this situation. In a series of experiments, it is demonstrated that these difficulties with replication can be accounted for by differences in participant-sampling methodologies. Specifically, the best performances are obtained with students from top-tier, national universit...

The development and population of a reuse library is likely to be the largest investment that an organisation will make in adopting reuse. The content of the library is potentially vast, particularly in situations where knowledge reuse must be supported across the lifecycle. In this paper we present our experience with a two tier reuse library. The first tier forms a conventional library of reu...

Effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of F1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon Hi-U 16 was examined. In this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. The plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. Fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. Fruit weight, diam...

The present paper is devoted to second- and higher-tier test methods for the characterization of behavioral changes produced in rodents by exposure to noxious agents during development. The paper analyzes a series of end points that are informative about specific processes and underlying regulatory mechanisms but require greater technical sophistication and larger investments than first-tier en...

The efficiency of cluster formation has a sound effect on limiting battery lifetime in cluster based wireless sensor networks. Fuzzy based decision support system enables node to make evaluation and pass a soft decision on the state of being configured as normal or cluster leader without the presence of precise information about different clustering parameters. In this paper, a distributed fuzz...

In this paper we describe a simplified way to implement performance control in a multi-tier computing system designed for e-commerce applications. We show that the simpler SISO (Single Input Single Output) controller, rather than a more complex distributed or centralized MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) controller, works well, regardless of the presence of multiple cluster nodes and multip...

Abstract Objectives To evaluate disparity in service quality between second- and third-tier hospitals explore factors that affect patients' perception of China. Design Cross sectional study. Setting Twelve Participants 5714 patients. Intervention None. Main Outcome Measure Total score the SERVQUAL scale each its five dimensions. Results Patients from rated significantly higher scores overall al...

ion thereby addressing the problem of complexity. These aspects are realized by defining ASSL in multiple tiers, which are the AS tier, the ASIP tier and the AE tier.[1] In the process of making DMARF autonomous with ASSL, for each distributed node a single AE that introduces an autonomic behavior at that node is specified. The novelty in this approach is to safeguard the pipeline which is not ...

This randomized control trial examined the efficacy of a multitiered supplemental tutoring program within a first-grade responsiveness-to-intervention prevention model. Struggling first-grade readers (n = 649) were screened and progress monitored at the start of the school year. Those identified as unresponsive to general education Tier 1 (n = 212) were randomly assigned to receive Tier 2 small...
