Although previous studies have consistently reported different forgetting rates for true and false memory when tested with recall, studies comparing the rates of decay for true and false recognition have reported inconsistent results. The present study attempted to clarify this inconsistency by comparing forgetting rates for true and false recognition in addition to addressing methodological di...

We study nonparametric estimation for current status data with competing risks. Our main interest is in the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), and for comparison we also consider a simpler 'naive estimator'. Groeneboom, Maathuis and Wellner [8] proved that both types of estimators converge globally and locally at rate n(1/3). We use these results to derive the local limiting dist...

Abstract In the paper numerical modelling of ensuring slope stability and their analysing with using different methods are presented. We have designed cutting walls earth nails anchors securing for ensuring. The calculate mechanism failure process reinforced slopes were studied stability. nailing significantly increased level Spencer method. Increasing nail or length improved slopes. exhibited ...

The Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) in its 8 day repeat orbit mode provided data not only on the along-track surface slope, but also on the cross-track surface slope from adjacent repeat ground tracks. During the first 36 days of operation, four to five such repeat orbits occurred within 1 km in the cross-track direction. This provided an opportunity to use ICESat data to measu...

D'Zmura [(1991) Vision Research, 31, 951-966] reported qualitative differences in visual search rates for a target colour in a background of differently coloured distractors depending on their colour configuration in CIE(x,y) space. A target colour that was chromatically mid-way between the distractor colours resulted in steep search slopes. A target off the distractor-distractor line, "popped ...
