We report an investigation of novices' ability to categorize probability word problems. Individuals can effectively learn from worked examples (Ward & Sweller, 1990), especially if multiple examples with the same structural features are presented (Gick & Holyoak, 1983). We were interested in whether the order of worked examples could affect a learner's ability to categorize new problems. Partic...

In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...

96. Speakers are sensitive to prediction mismatches between two cues to grammatical category in spontaneous speech Esteban Buz, Thomas Farmer, T. Florian Jaeger University of Rochester Speakers and listeners have a shared goal: trying to successfully communicate. Speakers produce an encoded message and listeners attempt to decode the message. Often, speaker messages are temporarily ambiguous, a...

this paper submitting the computation of optimize point of ordering in inventory control systems and particularly for continuous review of ordering system (r,q) by fuzzy logic method which similarly can be used for other ordering systems. since in the ordering models we cannot forecast the parameters like cost exactly, we have ambiguity. in this case using precise parameters may cause wrong dec...

Medication error (ME) is the most common preventable cause of adverse drug events which negatively affects patient safety. Inadequate, low-quality studies plus wide estimation variations in ME from developing countries including Iran, decreases the reliability of ME evaluations. To clarify sources, underreporting reasons and preventive measures of MEs, we reviewed Iran current available literat...

the present research aims to analyze the orthographic errors of german-speaking learners of persian at the elementary level. to do so, pieces of writing of 34 students were gathered via self-motivated method and examined based on the corpus of orthographic errors, using the frameworks proposed by keshavarz (1994) and ziahoseini (1999). 850 phonological, morphological, and orthographical errors ...

generally ordering policies are done by two methods, including fix order quantity (foq) and fix order period (fop). these methods are static and either the quantity of ordering or the procedure of ordering is fixing in throughout time horizon. in real environments, demand is varying in any period and may be considered as uncertainty. when demand is variable in any period, the traditional and st...
