Racial/ethnic differences in the criterion-related validity of cognitive ability tests: A qualitative and quantitative review.

The correlation between cognitive ability test scores and performance was separately meta-analyzed for Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White racial/ethnic subgroups. Compared to the average White observed correlation ( = .33, N = 903,779), average correlations were lower for Black samples ( = .24, N = 112,194) and Hispanic samples ( = .30, N = 51,205) and approximately equal for Asian samples ( = .33, N = 80,705). Despite some moderating effects (e.g., type of performance criterion, decade of data collection, job complexity), validity favored White over Black and Hispanic test takers in almost all conditions that included a sizable number of studies. Black–White validity comparisons were possible both across and within the 3 broad domains that use cognitive ability tests for high-stakes selection and placement: civilian employment, educational admissions, and the military. The trend of lower Black validity was repeated in each domain; however, average Black–White validity differences were largest in military studies and smallest in educational and employment studies. Further investigation of the reasons for these validity differences is warranted. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved)     

Fuzzy ε-subgroups

The aim of the paper is to investigate the known classical problem of a partition of a semigroup into a family of groups in the lattice-valued (fuzzy) framework. For that purpose, a fuzzy subgroup of a fuzzy subsemigroup is introduced and characterized by cuts, using the cutworthy approach. As a main result it is proved that a fuzzy subsemigroup can be partitioned (using special type of fuzzy partitions) into a family of fuzzy ε-subgroups if and only if it is fuzzy completely regular.     

关于有限群极大子群的CI-截和Deskins完备的一个注记

设G是有限群，M是G的极大子群．令K／N是G的一个主因子，K≤M而N（2=M，称MnN／K为M的一个CI-截，M的所有CI-截都同构．M在G中的一个完备是G的一个子群C，如果C（z=M，而C的每个G不变真子群都在M中．应用这些概念，本文得到了有关有限群可解性的新结论．

基于多子群的社会群体优化算法

社会群体优化算法(social group optimization,SGO)是一种基于社会群体学习而提出的一种新型优化算法。针对社会群体优化算法易于陷入局部最优问题,提出了一种多群社会群体学习算法（MPSGO）。本算法采用多子群学习方法,对算法两个阶段的个体学习方法进行改进,在维持群体收敛性能的前提下提高群体多样性,同时对部分个体中引入量子学习,使个体学习的有用信息得以增强;此外,每隔一定代数对子群进行随机重组,既能保证各子群个体充分进化,又维持了子群多样性。在设计算法的基础上,分析了其收敛性和多样性;通过与其他四种算法进行对比实验,验证了改进后算法性能更优。     

Soft groups and normalistic soft groups

Soft set theory, proposed by Molodtsov, has been regarded as an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertainties. In this paper, first we correct some of the problematic cases in a previous paper by Akta? and Çag˜man [H. Akta?, N. Çag˜man, Soft sets and soft groups, Inf. Sci. 177 (2007) 2726-2735]. Moreover, we introduce the concepts of normalistic soft group and normalistic soft group homomorphism, study their several related properties, and investigate some structures that are preserved under normalistic soft group homomorphisms.

具有c1-可补子群的有限群结构分析

子群H在群G中被称为是c1-可补的(c1-supplemented),如果存在G的子群K使得G=HK且H∩T≤Z∞(G),其中Z∞(G)是G的超中心.本文研究素数幂阶子群的广义可补性对有限群结构的的影响,得到以下主要定理:对于G的任意Sylow p-子群P,如果P有子群D满足1<|D|<|P|且P每一个|D|阶及p|D|阶子群在G中均c1-可补,那么G超可解.该结果推广了一些已知的结果.
