One way is to show knowledge panels which provide a fact-based summary of an entity and provide...

We analyze the transient behavior of stochastic uid ow models in which the input and output rates are controlled by a nite homogeneous Markov process. Such models are used in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) to evaluate the performance of fast packet switching and in manufacturing systems for the performance of producers and consumers coupled by a buuer. The transient analysis of such models ha...

Students’ interaction data from learning environments has an inherent temporal dimension, with successive events being related through the“next event”relationship. Exploratory learning environments (ELEs), in particular, can generate very large volumes of such data, making their interpretation a challenging task. Using two mathematical microworlds as exemplars, we illustrate how modelling stude...

The androgen receptor genotype was determined in the white blood cell DNA of 45 African-American, 39 non-Hispanic white, and 39 Asian (Chinese, Japanese) normal subjects and 68 patients with prostate cancer (57 whites), all of whom were residents of Los Angeles County. For each subject, we measured the number of repeats in the polymorphic CAG and GGC microsatellites of exon 1 of the androgen re...
