We describe the value of latent class analysis for appraising domain generality, and we report two studies that explore the latent class structure of creative accomplishments (using Carson, Peterson, and Higgins’s Creative Achievement Questionnaire; n = 749) and creative self-descriptions... |
149,738 | Grouped L0 least squares penalised Magnetoencephalography | The distributed source inverse problem for Magnetoencephalography (MEG) requires regularisation in order to calculate a stable and accurate solution. Recently there has been interest in source reconstruction via the l1 penalised least squares problem. Although this gives some sparseness the ideal measure for sparsity i... |
20,425,902 | Topology identification of a sparse dynamic network | This paper addresses the problem of identifying the topology of a sparsely connected network of dynamic systems. The goal is to identify the links, the direction of information flow and the transfer function of each dynamic system. The output of each system is affected by the incoming data of the directly connected sys... |
16,283,210 | Controlled Support MEG imaging | In this paper, we present a novel approach to imaging sparse and focal neural current sources from MEG (magnetoencephalography) data. Using the framework of Tikhonov regularization theory, we introduce a new stabilizer that uses the concept of controlled support to incorporate a priori assumptions about the area occupi... |
16,631,540 | Biodegradable Chitosan-Based Ambroxol Hydrochloride Microspheres: Effect of Cross-Linking Agents | The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of type of cross-linking method used on the properties of ambroxol hydrochloride microspheres such as encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and drug release. Microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using chitosan as a matrix-forming age... |
23,767,772 | In situ gelling pectin formulations for oral drug delivery at high gastric pH. | The aim of the study was to compare the gelation and drug release characteristics of formulations of pectin with high (31%) and low (9%) degrees of methoxylation over a wide pH range (pH 1.2-5.0). Dilute solutions of pectin (1.5%, w/v) containing complexed calcium ions formed gels in vitro at low pH (pH<2.5) as a conse... |
36,391,949 | Localization of light waves in Fibonacci dielectric multilayers. | We have measured the optical transmission of quasiperiodic dielectric multilayer stacks of ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ (A) and ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ (b) thin films which are ordered according to a Fibonacci sequence ${\mathit{S}}_{\mathit{j}+1}$={${\mathit{S}}_{\mathit{j}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$}, with ${\mathit{S}}_{0}$={B}... |
1,824,604 | The nature of visual self-recognition revisited | It is not true that mirror self-recognition has nothing to do with self-awareness and, contrary to Suddendorf and Butler's claim [1], that self-recognition is ‘universally acquired in toddlers’, there are failures to find mirror self-recognition in mentally retarded children, adolescents, and adults, as well as in auti... |
253,260,760 | The enfacement illusion in autism spectrum disorder: How interpersonal multisensory stimulation influences facial recognition of the self | At its most basic level, the sense of self is built upon awareness of one's body and the face holds special significance as the individual's most important and distinctive physical feature. Multimodal sensory integration is pivotal to experiencing one's own body as a coherent visual “self” representation is formed and ... |
119,986,092 | Multicomponent-Fuel Film-Vaporization Model for Multidimensional Computations | A multicomponent-fuel e lm-vaporization model is developed to be used in multidimensional spray and combustion computations. For the gas phase the vaporization rate was evaluated using the turbulent boundary-layer assumption and the Prandtl mixing-length theory. A third-order polynomial was used to model the temperatur... |
269,834 | Handling dynamic schema change in process models | Workflow technology has emerged as an appropriate platform for consolidating the distributed information resources of an enterprise, promoting interoperability across cross-platform systems and for providing a global view and understanding of business process models. However, the business processes that workflows repre... |
15,217,667 | Enforcement vs. freedom of action an integrated approach to flexible workflow enactment | The advantages of today'sprocess management, such as efficiency and quality aspects, are achievedby enforcing detailed models of work processes. But real world processescan be planned only to a limited degree and sometimes demand changing alreadyplanned parts of the process. So additional, unforeseen activities haveto ... |
5,014,811 | Sparse Estimation of Faults by Compressed Sensing With Structural Constraints | This paper addresses the challenge of fault location in large power networks using a limited number of sensors. It was recently shown that power system faults may be modeled by sparse vectors, and hence, can be located efficiently using sparse recovery techniques. In this paper, we extend this approach and propose a sp... |
153,332,985 | Limitations of European Union policy and law for regulating use of lead shot and sinkers: comparisons with North American regulation | Extensive shooting and angling causes, indirectly, fatal lead poisoning of birds. European Union policy on this major source of pollution is inconsistent with its laws regulating other forms of lead in the environment. Only three countries have banned the use of lead shot completely in the European Union, despite avail... |
