Previous studies that have examined the relationship between implicit and explicit motive measures have consistently found little variance overlap between both types of measures regardless of thematic content domain (i.e., power, achievement, affiliation). However, this independence may be artifactual because the primary means of measuring implicit motives--content-coding stories people write a...

In the waste collection sector, remote sensing technology is now coming onto the market, allowing waste and recycling receptacles to report their fill levels at regular intervals. This enables collection schedules to be dynamically optimised to better meet true servicing needs, so reducing transport costs and ensuring that visits to clients are made in a timely fashion. This paper describes a r...

The cost of the experimental setup during the assembly process development of a chipset, particularly the under-fill process, can often result in insufficient data samples. In INTEL Malaysia, for example, the historical chipset data from an under-fill process consist of only a few samples. As a result, existing machine learning algorithms for predictive modeling cannot be applied in this settin...

Previous measurements of the specific heat of helium-4 (4He) confined in all three spatial dimensions suggested a coupling between neighbor ing confinements through the tiny channels used to fill them [1]. Measurements of the superfluid fraction in the filling channels also suggested an enhancement attributed to their proximity to the larger regions of superfluid [1]. Recent measurements of con...

The variable generalised stochastic epidemicmodel, which allows for variability in both the susceptibilities and infectivities of individuals, is analysed. A very different epidemic modelwhich exhibits variable susceptibility and infectivity is the random-graph epidemic model. A suitable coupling of the two epidemic models is derived which enables us to show that, whilst the epidemics are very ...

The variable generalised stochastic epidemic (VGSE) model which allows for variability in both the susceptibility and infectivity of individuals is analysed. A very different epidemic model which exhibits variable susceptibility and infectivity is the random graph epidemic model. A suitable coupling of the two epidemic models is derived, which enables us to show that, whilst the epidemics are v...

Spin-orbit (SO) coupling is the crucial parameter to drive topological insulating phases in electronic band models. In particular, the generic emergence of SO coupling involves the Rashba term which fully breaks the SU(2) spin symmetry. As soon as interactions are taken into account, however, many theoretical studies have to content themselves with the analysis of a simplified U(1) conserving S...

Although the focus of the discussion regarding the significance of the error related negatively (ERN/Ne) has been on the cognitive factors reflected in this component, there is now a growing body of research that describes influences of motivation, affective style and other factors of personality on ERN/Ne amplitude. The present study was conducted to further evaluate the relationship between a...
