Establishing a Scale to Measure the Need for Attention (NFA)
Need for attention (NFA) refers to the tendency of individuals to require and search for interpersonal recognition and acknowledgement. This dissertation uses psychographic methods to develop a scale establishing the unique features of NFA that differentiate it from other personality traits, …

Stochastic Simulation Methods for Solving Systems with Multi-State Species
… and the particle-based Network-Free Algorithm (NFA) has been used for its simulation. In this thesis, we improve the NFA so that it has both the population-based and particle-based features. We also propose a population-based method for simulation of the rule-based models. The bacterial …

The Effect of Need for Cognition & Need for Affect on Human Reliance and Artificial Intelligence Interactions
… the relationship between Need for Affect (NFA), Need for Cognition (NFC), and trust and reliance on AI interactions. Participants were assessed on the NFA scale for willingness to approach or avoid emotional stimuli, the NFC scale for motivation to engage in thoughtful analysis, trust, and …

Cellular mechanisms of acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in intrapulmonary veins.
… Ca2+ or in the presence of Clchannel blocker NFA, effects not seen in the arteries. To examine the mechanisms of venous contraction at cellular level, single pulmonary vein smooth muscle cells (PVSMC) were freshly isolated and characterised morphologically and electrophysiologically for the …

Fast algorithms for DFT and convolution
… two algorithms viz. Nested Fourier Algorithm (NFA -- using linear multidimensional map) and Index Fourier Algorithm (IFA using a non-linear Index map). The two algorithms have been compared for the amount of arithmetic computations required. The algorithms have been Implemented In FORTRAN on …

THE INTERACTION OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS WITH THE LONG CONTROL REGION OF HPV 16
… Oct-1 as well as a likely novel factor, termed NFA. This latter factor may be particularly functionally relevant since only NFA but not Oct1 binds a related motif in different papillomaviruses. A comparison of t11ese findings with the genomes and transcription factor binding sites of HPV 6, 11, …

Efficient Schema Extraction from a Collection of XML Documents
… of XML documents. We propose using the cost of NFA simulation to compute the Minimum Length Description to rank the inferred schema. We also studied using frequencies of the sample inputs to improve the precision of the schema extraction. Furthermore, we propose an evaluation framework to …

First-principles studies on oxide nanoclusters in bcc Fe
… also called Nanostructured Ferritic Alloys (NFA). NFA consist of Fe-Cr based ferritic/martensitic steels that contain highly dispersed nanometer-size Y-Ti-O nanoclusters, and are manufactured via powder metallurgy. The presence of nanoclusters leads to high temperature stability and radiation …
