Sequential Compatibility Effects and Cognitive Control: Does Conflict Really Matter?

Although it is widely accepted that control mechanisms are necessary for human behavior to be adapted, very little is known about how such mechanisms are recruited. A suggestion to fill the gap was put forward by M. M. Botvinick, T. S. Braver, C. S. Carter, D. M. Barch, and J. D. Cohen (2001), who proposed the conflict-loop theory. This theory has been successful in accounting for the reduction of compatibility effects after an incompatible trial: The level of conflict being, on average, higher during an incompatible trial, more control occurs after such a trial. The authors have tested this prediction by sorting the trials on the basis of amount of conflict (quantified by the electromyographic activity) they presented. A reduction of the compatibility effect was observed after incompatible trials, but it was independent of the level of conflict on previous trials, suggesting that the conflict does not trigger changes in executive control. Consequences for the conflict monitoring model are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Improved estimation of defocus blur and spatial shifts in spatial domain: a homotopy-based approach

This paper presents a homotopy-based algorithm for the recovery of depth cues in the spatial domain. The algorithm specifically deals with defocus blur and spatial shifts, that is 2D motion, stereo disparities and/or zooming disparities. These cues are estimated from two images of the same scene acquired by a camera evolving in time and/or space. We show that they can be simultaneously computed by resolving a system of equations using a homotopy method. The proposed algorithm is tested using synthetic and real images. The results confirm that the use of a homotopy method leads to a dense and accurate estimation of depth cues. This approach has been integrated into an application for relief estimation from remotely sensed images.     

Assessing of long-distance background nutrient loading to the Archipelago Sea, northern Baltic, with a hydrodynamic model

Nutrient concentrations have increased in the Archipelago Sea during recent years. This is probably caused by growth in the loads from agriculture, air, fish farming and the Baltic proper. The Archipelago Sea acts like a nutrient filter between the Baltic proper and the Bothnian Sea; part of some of the externally input nutrients are retained within this area. Previously only rough estimates of the amount of the background load have been given. In this study the amount of net nutrient inflow from the Baltic proper was estimated with the aid of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the years 1993–1997. Our model suggests that the role of background nutrient load from the Baltic proper may sometimes be decisive in the eutrophication process. For example, in June 1993 the background load of phosphorus was 300 000 kg in one month, i.e. about threefold compared to the total phosphorus load from fish farming during this whole year. Nutrient inflow varies a lot during open water seasons and therefore more detailed studies are highly recommended. If all other local loading sources were included in the dynamic nutrient balance model we could calculate actual nutrient concentrations at any given time in the Archipelago Sea.     

ISO 9000 versus CMM: Standardization and certification of IS development

A growing number of software developers use standards as a basis for their quality systems. Some of them go one step further and have their quality systems certified. In this paper, two well-known quality standards, ISO 9000 and the CMM, are compared. It is concluded that both standards are useful but there is a growing need for more specific standards.

Perturbation Analysis of Multiclass Stochastic Fluid Models

We use a stochastic fluid model (SFM) to capture the operation of finite-capacity queueing systems with multiple customer classes. We derive gradient estimators for class-dependent loss and workload related performance metrics with respect to any one of several threshold parameters used for buffer control. These estimators are shown to be unbiased and directly observable from a sample path without any knowledge of underlying stochastic characteristics of the traffic processes. This renders them computable in on-line environments and easily implementable in settings such as communication networks.     

The Calculation Model for Operation Cost of Coal Resources Development Based on ANN

On the basis of analysis and selection of factors influencing operation cost of coal resources development, fuzzy set method and artificial neural network (ANN) were adopted to set up the classification analysis model of coal resources. The collected samples were classified by using this model. Meanwhile, the pattern recognition model for classifying of the coal resources was built according to the factors influencing operation cost. Based on the results achieved above, in the light of the theory of information diffusion, the calculation model for operation cost of coal resources development has been presented and applied in practice, showing that these models are reasonable.
