Enriching gender in physics education research: A binary past and a complex future
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] In this article, we draw on previous reports from physics, science education, and women’s studies to propose a more nuanced treatment of gender in physics ... -
Enzymatic regulation of glycogenolysis in a subarctic population of the wood frog: implications for extreme freeze tolerance
The wood frog, Rana sylvatica, from Interior Alaska survives freezing at –16°C, a temperature 10–13°C below that tolerated by its southern conspecifics. We investigated the hepatic freezing response in this northern phenotype ... -
ERPs of Children Aged 6-12 During Optical Spatial Reasoning Video Game Task
This talk focused on analysis of ERPs of Children Aged 6-12 during a video game task. Behavioral and psychophysiological results were presented. Discussion focused on the importance of spatial reasoning development of ... -
Evaluating Market Conditions: A simplified Approach for Analyzing Stock Price Activity
(2003-05-01)To simplify the process of determining which actions an investor should take, all application that provides a list of trade to be placed each morning was designed. Because the application gives signals on the long and the ... -
An evaluation of the reconstructed coefficient of determination and potential adjustments
Previously, a method was proposed for calculating a reconstructed coefficient of determination in the case of right-censored regression using the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm. This measure is assessed via ... -
Evidence-Informed Practice in Massachusetts (USA): A Systems-Level Analysis
This chapter examines Massachusetts (USA) public primary and secondary educators’ use of evidence-informed practices. We pay special attention to the role of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education ... -
Examining the Impact on Mortality Arising from Climate Change: Important Findings for the Insurance Industry
In this paper, we analyze the impact on overall mortality rates for the general US population arising from climate change and the weather events resulting in property damages for the period 1968–2013. We develop a fixed ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Cleanroom Software Development Method
(1992-03-01)The field of software engineering is evolving as various new techniques, languages, paradigms, process models, methodologies, metrics etc., are constantly being developed, used and improved. In the past, several empirical ... -
Experiments on Incremental Clustering
(1991-08-01)Clustering of very large document databases is essential to reduce the spacehime complexity of information retrieval. The periodic updating of clusters is required due to the dynamic nature of databases. An algorithm for ... -
Experiments on the Efficiency of Cluster Searches
(1991-03-01)The efficiency of various cluster based retrieval (CBR) strategies is analyzed. The possibility of combining CBR and inverted index search (11s) is investigated. A method for combining the two approaches is proposed and ... -
Experiments on Tunable Indexing
(1988-04-01)The effectiveness and efficiency of an Information Retrieval (IR) system depends on the quality of its indexing system. Indexing con be used in inverted file systemsor in cluster-based retrieval. In this article, new concept ... -
An Expert System Shell Performing the Generic Task of Hierarchical Classification
(1993-01-01)Any expert system shell that performs with the generic task of hierarchical classificiation must deal explicitly with the issues of knowledge representations, control strategies, inductive learning, and ways of handling ... -
An exploration of gender gap using advanced data science tools: actuarial research community
This paper explores the role of gender gap in the actuarial research community with advanced data science tools. The web scraping tools were employed to create a database of publications that encompasses six major actuarial ... -
Extending Composite Loss Models Using a General Framework of Advanced Computational Tools
Composite models have a long history in actuarial science because they provide a flexible method of curve-fitting for heavy-tailed insurance losses. The ongoing research in this area continuously suggests methodological ... -
Factors affecting willingness of social work students to accept jobs in aging
The aging of the United States population is creating an increased need for social workers and other helping professionals with training in gerontology. Recent estimates indicate that less than three percent of MSW students ... -
Final data and measures for JSP 2020 - extroversion congruence
Organizational research commonly proposes that leader and/or follower extraversion will be positively related to leader-member exchange (LMX). The assumption is that being social translates into high-quality relationships. ...
