Many people worldwide are affiliated with social networks everyday. Keith Wilcox and Andrew Stephan’s did a research on how social networking, particularly Facebook, was used to boost one’s self esteem with tie strengths. Tie strength can be defined as strong or weak. Strong ties can be described as the close connection to their friends, while weak ties are considered their “acquaintances that are distant friends” (Wilcox & Stephan, 2013, p. 92). Wilcox is an assistant professor at Columbia University

Introduction Noncompliant behavior in an academic setting can result in missing opportunities, falling behind in schoolwork, missing instruction and disrupting the class. It is critical that noncompliant behavior be decreased (Banda & Kubina, 2010). This study focused on a thirteen year old middle school student with Autism. Brad was a student who displayed academic noncompliance particularly with mathematics tasks. Brad was fully capable of completing all of the academic demands that were present

8 Nonlinear Optimization Models MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Which of the following is incorrect? a. A global optimum is a local optimum in a nonlinear optimization problem. b. A local maximum is a global maximum in a concave nonlinear optimization problem. c. A global minimum is a local minimum in a convex nonlinear optimization problem. d. A local optimum is a global optimum in a nonlinear optimization problem. ANSWER: d TOPIC: Local and global optima 2. The measure of risk most

6. Gray to Binary Conversion A binary image is the matrix comprising of only 0’s(black) and 1’s(white). It can be implemented by using the command im2bw in MATLAB. Thresholding concept has been used in this algorithm. The threshold concept works by choosing a threshold value, T, automatically and then extract (or separate) object from background. The threshold function of the binary image is defined as g(x,y) = {█(a,if (x,y)>T@b,if (x,y)≤T)┤ Pixels having a value correspond to object and pixels

the monomolecular model, 4 - cost of standard diet, 5 - price of sale poultry, 6 - parameters to estimate energy, 7 - number of animals that wish to simulate. The model output is the NR and the optimum amino acid intake. Statistical approach and mathematical models The model described simulates the potential performance and hence nutrient requirements at a flock bird level, for this simulation needed of the µ and σ of the population, this parameter can be acquired from experiments or literature data

Alenoush Karimian SOC 2: Winter 2017 The Influence of Three Weak Ties Social networks can be reconstructed with the introduction or reduction of nodes that make up social ties. The nodes represent the individuals in that network and the ties are the connection between the nodes that vary depending on the individual 's social network (Christakis and Fowler: 2011). This diversity in social networks has the potential for

Fyodor Dostoevsky, who was considered to be a genius of his time, was spared from a death sentence he received for his involvement in a literary group that discussed banned books. As he was close to being killed, this experience provides an explanation for his belief that killing is unjust and does not better society. In Dostoevsky’s book Crime and Punishment, this belief is developed through a criticism of the theories and actions of the main character Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov believes that he

become more accurate in solving problems in the math textbook.  Kelly (2006) explored in elementary classrooms that how children use manipulatives and/or tools in problem solving while working on mathematical tasks. Current research reveals that teachers need to teach and assess children’s mathematical knowledge in ways that will allow them to show (perform) what they really understand. In this research use of

The Anxiety Math Can Bring The struggle that is seen a lot with students as young as first grade deals with the fear of math. In general, math seems to be the number one fear in the eyes of students who in the past have had bad experiences in the subject. It can seem strange for those who have never felt the anxiety and pain it brings. For most people, numbers come natural in figuring out when solving and following step by step functions to get the answers correct. There is hope in finding ways

A Copula-Based EDA For a Class of Continuous Multiobjective Problems 1 Introduction An optimisation problem consist of trying to find the optimal solution in a set of good solution, finding this optimal solution has a relation with the specific area of research problem, this kind of problem which have two or more objective function to reach are called multiobjective problem, those objectives are usually contradictory each others, the optimisation of this problems enter in Decision making of a huge
