Three applications of sampling-based sensitivity analysis in conjunction with evidence theory representations for epistemic uncertainty in model inputs are described: (i) an initial exploratory analysis to assess model behavior and provide insights for additional analysis; (ii) a stepwise analysis showing the incremental effects of uncertain variables on complementary cumulative belief function...

the aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the effects of twokinds of motivational and instructional self–talk on the performance of static anddynamic balance tasks in the elderly. for this purpose, 45 old subjects agedbetween 60 and 70 from qom province participated in this study. static balancetask (stand on one leg) and dynamic balance task (sebt test) were instructed withno...

We previously reported that inbred, genetically identical mice living in one enriched environment develop individual behavioral trajectories, indicating increasingly different levels of spatial exploratory behavior as quantified by roaming entropy. Cumulative roaming entropy (cRE) correlated positively with adult hippocampal neurogenesis, a type of plasticity involved in the flexible integratio...

This thesis presents a series of exploratory studies of how participants engaged in everyday conversation utilise linguistic resources in managing entry to and exit from talk. For each study a data-set is constructed from audio recordings of telephone calls; this data-set is then analysed in terms of interactional organisation and linguistic design. Analysis of interactional aspects of the talk...
