We present a survey of recent work on the problem of learning a distance metric in the framework of semidefinite programming (SDP). Along with a brief theoretical background on convex optimization and distance metrics, we present various methods developed in this context under different approaches and provide theoretical analysis for a subset of them. A gradient ascent projection algorithm (Xin...

BACKGROUND Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) in health care has captured the interest of doctors, healthcare professionals, and managers. AIM To evaluate the effects of NLP on health-related outcomes. DESIGN AND SETTING Systematic review of experimental studies. METHOD The following data sources were searched: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ASSIA, AMED, CINAHL, Web of Knowledge, CENTRAL, NLP speciali...

Global trends in many areas of human activity are aimed at the transition to digital transformation. The transformation modern business requires changes learning process higher education. Based on this, among main development educational is use interactive teaching methods and technologies, which designed create comfortable conditions each student feels his success intellectual ability. Interac...

This paper offers a brief reference on learning styles, specifically the NLP Neurolinguistic Programming or better known as VAK (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) of Bandler and Grinder. The results diagnosis applied to group high school students determine styles in teaching English language are offered. For this purpose, didactic games were elaborated taking into account students' with methodolog...

The neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) treatment for anxiety, claimed to be a single-session cure for unpleasant feelings, was compared with self-control desensitization of equal duration and a waiting-list control group in treating public speaking anxiety. Fifty-five speech-anxious undergraduates underwent pretreatment and posttreatment assessments of anxiety during 4-min speeches. The results...

Successive Quadratic Programming (SQP) has been the method of choice for the solution of many nonlinear programming problems in process engineering. However, for the solution of large problems with SQP based codes, the combinatorial complexity associated with active set quadratic programming (QP) methods can be a bottleneck in exploiting the problem structure. In this paper, we examine the meri...

The aim of this paper is to provide the reader with a general overview of the field of attrition. Having situated this relatively new research domain with respect to related fields and approaches, a brief summary of the most important research questions and preliminary findings is given. The discussion then focuses on two issues that are of particular interest with respect to neurolinguistics: ...

This article offers a developmental theory of language and the neural systems that lead to and subserve linguistic capabilities. Early perceptual experience and discontinuities in linguistic development suggest that language develops in four phases that occur in a fixed, interdependent sequence. In each phase of language, a unique ontogenetic function is accomplished. These functions have propr...

In this paper Luria’s neuropsychological and neurolinguistic theory is briefly reviewed in order to relate it to his neuropsychological testing. Luria’s neuropsychological and neurolinguistic testing is based on his general theory of brain-behaviour relations, which emphasizes the overlap between different functional systems. Luria’s goal was to provide a principled approach to testing and reha...
