BACKGROUND Training has been the focus of considerable conceptual and empirical attention but is considered a relevant factor for competitive edge in companies because it has a positive impact on business performance. This study is justified by the need for deeper analysis of the process involving the transfer of training into performance. This paper's originality lies in the implementation of ...

We propose a general notion of capacity defined on any finite distributive lattice, encompassing usual capacities, bi-capacities, and their immediate extensions called k-ary capacities. We define key notions such as Möbius transform, derivative, Shapley value and Choquet integral.

We study invariants coming from certain optimisation problems for nef divisors on surfaces. These arise in work of the author and collaborators tying obstructions to embeddings between symplectic 4-manifolds questions positivity (possibly singular) algebraic develop general framework these prove foundational results their structure asymptotics. describe connections have embedded contact homolog...

Thomas K. Landauer’s (1986) estimate of the capacity of normal human memory is deeply flawed. His estimate neither reflects the quantity of computational resources necessary for supporting a human-like memory, nor provides any constraint on a theory of such a memory. The roots of the problem lie in a m isunderstanding of the relationship of previous experience to intelligent behavior and theref...

This essay defends the view that human metacognition results from us turning our mindreading capacities upon ourselves, and that our access to our own propositional attitudes is through interpretation rather than introspection. Relevant evidence is considered, including that deriving from studies of childhood development and other animal species. Also discussed are data suggesting dissociations...
