Quantum Information Processing with Continuous Variables and Atomic Ensembles
… metrology and the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm over continuous-variable quantum systems. The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, being one of the first quantum algorithms, embodies the remarkable computational capabilities offered by quantum information processing. Here, we develop a general procedure, …

Automated feedback in flow for accelerated reaction screening, optimization, and kinetic parameter estimation
… to achieving these goals is in the adoption of continuous processing. Among the many advantages offered by the use of continuous flow systems is the ease of integration of automation and online analytics for realtime monitoring of reactions. The further incorporation of feedback into automated …

An Improved Genetic Algorithm for the Optimization of Composite Structures
… modelled in terms of mixed discrete-continuous variables. The optimization of these models is typically difficult due to their combinatorial nature and potential existence of multiple local minima in the search space. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are powerful tools for solving such …

Compositional bounded reachability using time partitioning and abstraction
… is known to be exponential in the number of continuous variables. For systems that can be decomposed into separate components with lower dimensionality, we present an algorithm that verifies global safety properties of the complete system using the reach sets of the components. Here, the …

A study comparing outcomes of appendectomy between HIV-infected and HIV-negative patients
… the Chi-Squared or Fisher's exact test for non-continuous variables, and non- parametric ANOVA and Wilcoxon ranked sum test for continuous variables. A P-value less than 0·05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study group comprised 134 patients; 18 (13.4 %) tested positive …

Bayesian Network Modeling and Inference of GWAS Catalog
… which can handle a mixture of discrete and continuous variables. A two-layered CLG Bayesian network is built where the SNPs are represented as discrete variables in one layer and quantitative traits are represented as continuous variables in another layer. Efficient inference methods are …

A longitudinal behavior genetic model for ordered categorical variables
… twin data consisting of ordered categorical variables was proposed. Proportional changes in response categories across time were modeled within growth curve by means of mean and variance changes in underlying continuous variables. Variances of the growth factors were decomposed into genetic …

The influence of proficiency and age of acquisition on second language processing: An fMRI study of Mandarin-English bilinguals
… we examined both in parallel, treated as continuous variables. We used fMRI to study neural activity for L2 processing in adult native Mandarin speakers who are L2 English speakers. Behavioral measures of language proficiency and AoA were obtained from subjects prior to performing a …

Directing Attentional Resources Toward the Appropriate Information Processing System: A Test of the Effects of Processing Preference and Information Presentation Mode
… A multiple regression for categorical and continuous variables was used to determine whether presentation types, and processing preference can predict the performance based time and error scores. It was found that only presentation type predicted performance. The results of the study along …

Knowledge and Perceptions of Vitamin D Among College Women Age 18-22 Years
… mean and standard deviation found for continuous variables, percentage and frequency found for categorical variables, and by the creation of a codebook for focus groups themes. Results determined that college females have a broad knowledge of vitamin D, its sources, and its roles in the …

High School Contextual Variables and ACT Scores
… student demographic and school participation variables with ACT composite scores. Utilizing both a Pearson product moment statistical correlation and t-test for continuous variables and a One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for categorical variables, the researcher identifies and presents …

On simulation based verification of nonlinear nondeterministic hybrid systems
… it scales exponentially with the number of continuous variables. First we propose a simulation-based algorithm for computing the reach set of a class of deterministic hybrid system. The algorithm first constructs a cover of the initial set of the hybrid system. Then the reach set of …

Childhood Trauma, Adult Psychosocial Stress, and the Mediating Effects of Alcohol Consumption
… expand upon existing literature by using continuous variables to assess both trauma and stress in an alcohol dependent population.

Relaxation and exact algorithms for solving mixed integer-quadratic optimization problems
… resulting from the presence of integer variables. Traditional approaches that apply in pure integer programming are not very helpful, since the existence of continuous variables in our problems complicates their use. Vie develop relaxation and heuristic algorithms designed so as to …

Statistical modelling for the prognostic classification of patients with pancreatic cancer for optimisation of treatment allocation
… size and statistical methods were inappropriate. Continuous variables are often simplified incorrectly i) assuming linear relationships between predictors and log-hazard or ii) using dichotomisation. Non-linearity is addressed for the first time in this disease site using restricted cubic spline …

Change Detection and Analysis of Data with Heterogeneous Structures
… often of mixed types including both discrete and continuous variables. Heterogeneity also commonly arises in data when underlying models vary across different segments. Besides, the underlying pattern of data may change in different dimensions, such as in time and space. The diversity of …
