Recently, game-theoretical methods have been adopted to analyze the reasonability of usability distribution mechanisms. On the other hand, sustainability has become a major conception among many fields by focusing on various influences that arose from environmental change, including usability distribution under multi-attribute sports management schemes. In many real-world situations, however, performers and its energy levels (strategies) should be essential factors simultaneously. Based on maximal-usability among energy level (strategy) vectors, we define an output, its efficacious extension and normalization to analyze usability distribution mechanisms under multi-attribute sports management schemes. We also adopt axiomatic processes to present the reasonability for these outputs. By considering reduced scheme and excess mapping, we adopt alternative formulation to offer dynamic processes for the efficacious extension and the normalization, respectively.

Utility Allocation

 By focusing on various influences arose from environmental change, sustainability has become a major conception among many fields, including utility allocation. On the other hand, game-theoretical methods have always been adopted to analyze the reasonability of utility allocation rules. In many real-world situations, however, participants and its energetic levels (decisions) should be essential factors simultaneously. By focusing on both the participants and its energetic levels (decisions), we introduce the restrained core to investigate utility allocation under fuzzy transferable-utility (TU) models. In order to analyze the reasonability for the restrained core, two axiomatic results are further provided by applying several types of reductions. Since the restrained core infringes a specific converse steadiness property, a converse steady enlargement of the restrained core is also introduced to investigate how extensive the violation of this specific converse steadiness property is. This converse steady enlargement is smallest converse steady measuration that contains the restrained core.

Rats of 3 strains were fed diets of natural ingredients in 4 different laboratories. The diets contained different levels of protein and energy within ranges comparable to those found in existing laboratory diets. Energy level over the range examined appeared to exert greatest influence on bodyweight gain, but had no effect on food intake. The diet with the highest amino acid content was consumed in smaller amounts than the other diets. Food utilization was less efficient in the lower energy diets. Fat deposition was reduced in animals fed the lowest energy diet. It is concluded that energy level of the diet exerts an effect on the rate of bodyweight gain in rats, but that for longer-term studies a reduced energy level may be beneficial by leading to smaller fat deposits with consequent increase in longevity.

Photochemical Decomposition

Measurements of the spectra, fluorescence, and photochemical decomposition of aldehydes and ketones containing the chromophoric carbonyl group are already extensive and well known. There is, however, one compound of the same type, possessing a unique structure, which has so far received little attention. This substance, carbon suboxide, is according to the electron diffraction measurements of Pauling and Brockway, linear, and may be written O=C=C=C=O. It thus contains solely a combination of C=O and C=C linkages, the chromophoric and physical properties of each of which have already been investigated experimentally. In addition, the electronic structures and energy levels of these groupings have been studied recently by theoretical methods. We have therefore examined the absorption spectrum and photochemistry of this pentatomic molecule. Since it is gaseous at room temperatures, carbon suboxide has obvious experimental advantages; on the other hand, its tendency to polymerize thermally under ordinary conditions introduces complications into the photochemical measurements. The thermal decomposition of the substance was recently described by Klemenc, Wechsberg, and Wagner, which adds interest to the present work.

Anthraconaiasp. occurs in the thin nonmarine interval that lies between the Upper Millersburg Coal Member and the Lower Millersburg Coal Member (Pennsylvanian, Desmoinesian) in Warrick County, Indiana. Specimens ofAnthraconaiasp. resembleAnthraconaiathat occur in Pennsylvanian and Permian rocks of the Appalachian Basin, but they differ slightly in size, form ratios, or both. Specimens were found in massive, nonfissile gray mudstone; buff-colored, laminated limestone (ostracodal biomicrite, wackestone); and platy black shale. The only statistically significant variation between shells from these different lithologies is that shells recovered from the limestone tend to be more ovate than shells from the other two lithologies. This contradicts the findings of previous investigations in which more ovateAnthraconaiawere found in the more organic-rich sediments of a given stratigraphic sequence. This difference is probably caused by the lack of discernible change in energy level through the depositional history of the interval and suggests that changing energy levels may be more important to the control of the morphology ofAnthraconaiathan the level of organic carbon in the sediment.

Mice of 2 strains were fed diets of natural ingredients in 3 different laboratories. The diets, which were fed before and after pelleting, contained levels of protein and energy within the ranges comparable to those found in existing laboratory diets and were the same formulation as those fed to rats in a previous paper. The diet with the lowest energy level supported the lowest rate of bodyweight gain, as it had with rats. Little effect was noticed on food consumption, conversion efficiency or water intake. Animals fed the pelleted diets gained bodyweight faster and there were indications of greater food and water consumption and also food conversion efficiency. It was concluded that food intake was improved with the pelleted diets resulting in the other increases.

Profile Distribution

Abstract Conjoint analysis has become popular among social scientists for measuring multidimensional preferences. When analyzing such experiments, researchers often focus on the average marginal component effect (AMCE), which represents the causal effect of a single profile attribute while averaging over the remaining attributes. What has been overlooked, however, is the fact that the AMCE critically relies upon the distribution of the other attributes used for the averaging. Although most experiments employ the uniform distribution, which equally weights each profile, both the actual distribution of profiles in the real world and the distribution of theoretical interest are often far from uniform. This mismatch can severely compromise the external validity of conjoint analysis. We empirically demonstrate that estimates of the AMCE can be substantially different when averaging over the target profile distribution instead of uniform. We propose new experimental designs and estimation methods that incorporate substantive knowledge about the profile distribution. We illustrate our methodology through two empirical applications, one using a real-world distribution and the other based on a counterfactual distribution motivated by a theoretical consideration. The proposed methodology is implemented through an open-source software package.

In gaze-based Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), it is important to determine human visual intention for interacting with robots. One typical HRI interaction scenario is that a human selects an object by gaze and a robotic manipulator will pick up the object. In this work, we propose an approach, GazeEMD, that can be used to detect whether a human is looking at an object for HRI application. We use Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) to measure the similarity between the hypothetical gazes at objects and the actual gazes. Then, the similarity score is used to determine if the human visual intention is on the object. We compare our approach with a fixation-based method and HitScan with a run length in the scenario of selecting daily objects by gaze. Our experimental results indicate that the GazeEMD approach has higher accuracy and is more robust to noises than the other approaches. Hence, the users can lessen cognitive load by using our approach in the real-world HRI scenario.

The distribution of vibrational energy in members of a complex structure with tuned absorbers attached at the joints and subjected to dynamic loading is studied. The concept of power flows through the structure is used to determine the time-averaged energy levels of each member in the structure. The power flows are calculated using the time-averaged product of force and velocity at the input and coupling points (joints) of a general structure made of axially vibrating rods. The receptance approach is used to calculate the coupling forces and velocities in the structure. By balancing the input power against the dissipated powers, the time-averaged energy levels in members are determined. The main criteria studied here is the reduction in the frequency-averaged vibrational energy level of a member when an absorber is attached, expressed as a percentage compared to the case where there are no absorbers. The concept is first illustrated with a simple model of 2 axially vibrating rods with an absorber attached to the joint. Next, a more complex structure comprising 8 rods with arbitrary orientations and several absorbers attached to junctions is studied. The effect of activating absorbers at various locations on reducing the energy levels of certain members is examined. It is possible to estimate the usefulness of the absorber with respect to any member by determining the percentage reduction of energy level for that member.

Inquiry Based Learning

Authentic assessment exercises are similar to real-world tasks that would be expected by a professional. An authentic assessment in combination with an inquiry-based learning activity enhances students' learning and rehearses them for their future roles, whether as scientists or as informed citizens. Over a period of 2 years, we experimented with two inquiry-based projects; one had traditional scientific inquiry characteristics, and the other used popular culture as the medium of inquiry. We found that activities that incorporated group learning motivated students and sharpened their abilities to apply and communicate their knowledge of science. We also discovered that incorporating popular culture provided ““Millennial”” students with a refreshing view of science learning and increased their appetites to explore and elaborate on science.
