Equitability and dependence
… for all non-trivial relationships using an independence test can yield too many results to be a useful approach. What is needed is a way of identifying a smaller set of "strongest" relationships, independent of relationship type (e.g., linear, exponential, etc.). The first goal of this work is …

Vulnerability to substance dependence
… predisposed individuals to heroin and nicotine dependence, but not alcohol dependence. Therefore, the dopaminergic polymorphisms contribute to individual differences in addiction and lmpSS behaviour. High impulsive sensation seekers were significantly faster to respond to stimuli on the …

Dynamic dependence analysis : modeling and inference of changing dependence among multiple time-series
… over evolving structures which describe the dependence among multiple, possibly vector-valued, time-series. Such problems arise naturally in variety of settings. Consider the problem of object interaction analysis. Given tracks of multiple moving objects one may wish to describe if and how …

Ethics, intentions and judgement-dependence
… equally unattractive. Crispin Wright’s judgement-dependence allows for the rejection of generic realism without implausibly rejecting the truth of the distinctive assertions of a discourse. I show how Wright speedily dismisses the judgement-dependence of truth in ethics, but suggest that he has …

Dependence testing in high dimension
"The study of dependence for high dimensional data originates in many different areas of contemporary research. While a lot of existing work focuses on measuring the linear dependence and monotone dependence for fixed dimensional data, comparatively less is concerned for more complex dependence …

The Brazilian-Portuguese MCMI-III: Diagnostic Validity of the Alcohol Dependence and Drug Dependence Scales
… and examined the validity of its Alcohol Dependence and Drug Dependence scales for identifying substance-related disorders in a Brazilian sample. The diagnostic validity of these scales was examined by comparing participants' scores on the BP-MCMI-III against group status (controls versus …

STATISTICAL MODELS UTILIZING DEPENDENCE BETWEEN VARIABLES
… cones of probability distributions describing dependence. The goal here is to find the the closest probability distribution in <italic>C<italic> to the independent probability distribution (vector). The primal problem and its dual are introduced using Fenchel's duality theorem, furthermore the …

Does mineral resource dependence foster corruption?

Time dependence in fine-particle systems
… medium, and consequently studies of its time dependence are of great practical benefit. The work of Flanders et al (1987) and Oseroff et al (1987) considered two types of behaviour; the Rate Dependence due to a dynamic field process and the Time Dependence due to a static field process. Their …

Minimal Contact Intervention for Tobacco Dependence
This study was conducted to measure the degree of adherence by public health care providers to a policy that requires them to implement minimal contact intervention for tobacco cessation with their clients. This study also described what components of the intervention may have contributed to the …

Time-dependence in Markovian decision processes.
… processes with an emphasis on incorporating time-dependence into the system dynamics. When considering such decision processes, we provide value equations that apply to a large range of classes of Markovian decision processes, including Markov decision processes (MDPs) and semi-Markov decision …

Issues in objectivity and mind-dependence
… are often characterized in terms of independence from the mind: the first-pass idea is that what it takes for any particular subject matter to be real and objective is for facts about it to obtain independently of beliefs, linguistic practices, conceptual schemes, and so on. But if we …

Species Dependence of pMDI/Wood Adhesion
Polymeric methylenebis(phenylisocyanate) (pMDI) has increasingly been used in the wood particulate composite industry. Wood composites, especially oriented strand board (OSB) are made with many variations of wood species. Little research has been done to investigate how pMDI adhesion has been …

Asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei

The detection and treatment of alcohol dependence
… cohesiveness of the proposed syndrome of alcohol dependence, and the evolution of symptoms over time, was validated in a clinical sample. In healthy individuals and in clinical samples, biological markers showed early signs of the syndrome in healthy men. A comparison of Lothian general population …
