The reliable operation of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) signals requires accurate classification multichannel EEG. design EEG representations and classifiers for BCI are open research questions whose difficulty stems from the need to extract complex spatial temporal patterns noisy multidimensional time series obtained measurements. high-dimensional nature may limit advantage nonlinear methods over linear ones. This paper reports results a...
Scholarly research on the diffusion of policies across state governments focuses predominantly pathways information between states. Absent from this is a thorough discussion content use when deciding whether or not to adopt an innovative policy. Given importance in decision making, we develop model that attention one type information, namely, ideological position previous adopters. Although only piece relevant believe states look adopters effort minimize uncertainty about how issues fit...
Archaeological data from Huexotla, an Aztec-period site in the Valley of Mexico, are used to test proposition that Mexican states arose and expanded facilitate specialization market exchange. By large, this is not supported by Huexotla data. During Early Aztec times, Mexico was divided into a number small, autonomous city-states. The suggest local economies these city-states were characterized complex division labor. Thus, their existence does seem have depended upon facilitating exchange at...
Student evaluations of teaching are widely believed to contain gender bias. In this study, we conduct a randomized experiment with the student in four classes large enrollments, two taught by male instructors and female instructors. each courses, students were randomly assigned either receive standard evaluation instrument or same language intended reduce Students anti-bias condition had significantly higher rankings than treatment. There no differences between treatment groups for These...
Attitude strength is defined as the extent to which an attitude stable, resistant change, impacts information processing, and guides behavior. Several concepts, such accessibility, ambivalence, importance relate broader concept of strength. For many years, both social psychology political science ignored differences across these various though in different ways. Social psychologists treated them interchangeable, indicators same latent concept. Political scientists isolation, focusing on one...
Facilitating Education for Older Learners Get access Learners, by D. A. Peterson. Jossey-Bass, San Francisco, 1983, 342 pp., $18.95 (hardcover). Journal of Gerontology, Volume 39, Issue 3, May 1984, Page 372, https://doi.org/10.1093/geronj/39.3.372 Published: 01 1984
Educational gerontology is a field of study and practice that has recently developed at the interface adult education social gerontology. The parameters are defined as including three major components: (1) educational endeavors for middle-aged older people designed to provide information or modify attitudes behaviors; (2) public about aging which will improve general toward people; (3) preservice inservice professionals practitioners work in field. Recommendations regarding future...
Objectives The objective of this study was to empirically test the wide belief that Reviewer #2 is a uniquely poor reviewer. Methods involved analyzing reviewer database from Political Behavior . There are two main tests. First, reviewer's categorical evaluation manuscript compared by number. Second, data were analyzed if disproportionately likely be more than one category below mean other reviewers manuscript. Results no evidence either negative about or out line with reviewers. is,...
Abstract Increasing impacts of wildfires on Western US air quality highlights the need for forecasts smoke emissions based dynamic modeled wildfires. This work utilizes knowledge weather, fuels, topography, and firefighting, combined with machine learning other statistical methods, to generate 1‐ 2‐day fire radiative energy (FRE). The models are trained data covering 2019 2021 evaluated 2020. For 1‐day (2‐day) forecasts, random forest model shows most skill, explaining 48% (25%) variance in...
Abstract The standard measure of authoritarianism asks respondents about desirable qualities in children. Although these questions are gender-neutral, may differ the gender child their heads when answering. items also tap into gendered expectations boys' and girls' behavior. We conducted three experiments that randomly assigned to be asked a child, boy, or girl items. compare means, measurement properties, correlation between other important variables across conditions. Asking creates...
Standard investigations of both campaign negativity and primary elections focus on either the electoral institutions or voters. In this article, we begin to explore factors affecting content information environment voters face by examining effects timing context which races are likely become negative when. Using a analysis newspaper coverage every contested Senate in 1998, binary time-series cross-sectional methods, demonstrate that is an interdependent function race, status seat, number...
Elections from time to are widely believed carry a mandate, express message about changed policy preferences of the electorate. Whatever accuracy such beliefs—a matter which we skeptical—perceptions mandate should affect behavior actors in government. Politicians lack scholarly luxury waiting for careful analyses. They must act months following elections. We postulate that many will as if perceptions were true, veering away their normal voting patterns. This is driven by election results and...
Most EEG-based BCI systems make use of well-studied patterns brain activity. However, those involve tasks that indirectly map to simple binary commands such as "yes" or "no" require many weeks biofeedback training. We hypothesized signal processing and machine learning methods can be used discriminate EEG in a direct "yes"/"no" from single session. Blind source separation (BSS) spectral transformations the produced 180-dimensional feature space. modified genetic algorithm (GA) wrapped around...
Abstract The American Dream is central to the national ethos, reflecting people's optimism that all who are willing work hard can achieve a better life than their parents. Separate from support for idea of itself whether public believes it attainable. We consider origins and dynamics public's belief in achievability Dream. Is symbolic vision, rooted political socialization rather contemporary politics? Or does about follow viability dream, rising with economic prosperity falling declining...

Findings show greater numbers work with elderly than previously estimated. Respondents report improved status among peers they perceive good career opportunities this area. Theneed for...
Research shows that people with multiple sclerosis exhibit learning and memory difficulties music can be used successfully as a mnemonic device to aid in memory. However, there is currently no research investigating the effectiveness of mnemonics compensatory strategy for sclerosis. Participants clinically definitive (N = 38) were given verbal test. Results from recognition task analyzed compared through (n 20) versus leaming speech 18). Preliminary baseline neuropsychological data collected...
Educational activities in gerontology have developed rapidly over the past 25 years and currently offer continued promise of future expansion. As grow diversify, new modified roles are created for individuals with knowledge processes aging, commitment to improve quality life older people, familiarity educational design practice. The purpose this paper is identify a few these conceptualize field way that may add greater clarity understanding complex array contemporary events. Three topics...
