Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the main methods used for electronic nose pattern recognition. However, poor classification performance is common in classification and recognition when using regular PCA. This paper aims to improve the classification performance of regular PCA based on the existing Wilks Λ-statistic (i.e., combined PCA with the Wilks distribution). The improved algo...

Background: Despite the high prevalence of internal carotid artery (ICA) anomalies, there is still no consensus on which parameters should be used to evaluate their local hemodynamics and what significance each parameter holds. Objective: To determine various ultrasound for evaluating ICA anomalies. Materials methods: In our cross-sectional observational study 427 outpatients underwent ultrasou...

this study investigated the effect of reciprocal teaching (rt) on efl learners’ reading comprehension. fifty intermediate learners participated in the study and were sampled as the experimental (n = 25) and control groups (n = 25). participants were male and ranged in age from 15 to 16. the reading section of key english test (ket, 2010) was used as the pretest to assess the participants’ entry...

Ide and Wilks argue that a fine-grained division of senses may not be an appropriate goal for a computational WSD task (Ide and Wilks, 2006). They propose that NLP needs correspond roughly to homograph-level distinctions, although they acknowledge some evidence of broad level distinctions within a homograph. They further argue that machine translation requires finer-grained distinctions than in...
