Decision-Making in a Fuzzy Environment

By decision-making in a fuzzy environment is meant a decision process in which the goals and/or the constraints, but not necessarily the system under control, are fuzzy in natur...

Analysis of Panel Data

Panel data models have become increasingly popular among applied researchers due to their heightened capacity for capturing the complexity of human behavior as compared to cross...

Nearly 100% internal phosphorescence efficiency in an organic light-emitting device

We demonstrate very high efficiency electrophosphorescence in organic light-emitting devices employing a phosphorescent molecule doped into a wide energy gap host. Using bis(2-p...

Statistical phrase-based translation

We propose a new phrase-based translation model and decoding algorithm that enables us to evaluate and compare several, previously proposed phrase-based translation models.

Local detection of electromagnetic energy transport below the diffraction limit in metal nanoparticle plasmon waveguides

Estimating Mediated Effects in Prevention Studies

The purpose of this article is to describe statistical procedures to assess how prevention and intervention programs achieve their effects. The analyses require the measurement ...

A Simulation Study of Mediated Effect Measures

Analytical solutions for point and variance estimators of the mediated effect, the ratio of the mediated to the direct effect, and the proportion of the total effect that is med...

Transfer Learning for Reinforcement Learning Domains: A Survey

The reinforcement learning paradigm is a popular way to address problems that have only limited environmental feedback, rather than correctly labeled examples, as is common in o...

Implementation of Evidence-based Practice in Child Welfare: Service Provider Perspectives

From Molecules to Materials: Current Trends and Future Directions

The development, characterization, and exploitation of novel materials based on the assembly of molecular components is an exceptionally active and rapidly expanding field. For ...
