Vision accuracy: comparisons
Solomon Asch conducted a Line Judgment Task in the 1950s that led researchers to believe that conformity can be assessed through experimentation. The purpose of this study was to modify that of Asch's experiment and to assess the answers that college undergraduate students would give. Twelve trials …

Fine-grained visual comparisons
… them. A promising way to represent visual comparisons is through attributes, which are mid-level properties that appear across category boundaries. The ability to compare attributes opens up new opportunities in areas such as online shopping, object recognition, and human biometrics, where …

Regression Models for Paired Comparisons
"Paired comparisons are among the most widely used experimental methods in psychology and related fields. First employed in the middle of the 19th Century, many models have been developed over the years to analyze data from such experiments, for instance the Thurstone and Bradley-Terry-Luce models. …

Comparing comparisons in category learning
Comparisons are central to category learning; yet very little research has been done to understand how comparisons affect what people learn. Prior work has established that different ways of learning affect what information learners acquire, suggesting that different types of comparisons may also …

Perfect clustering from pairwise comparisons
We consider a pairwise comparisons model with n users and m items. Each user is shown a few pairs of items, and when a pair of items is shown to a user, he or she expresses a preference for one of the items based on a probabilistic model. The goal is to group users into clusters so that users …

Nanotechnology : industry evolution and comparisons
Recent scientific progress has left virtually no question that nanotechnology will become a tremendous and significant part of worldwide culture. Nanotechnology is expected to become an active part of our daily interactions with people, machines, and the environment. This vision has been set forth …

The rank analysis of triple comparisons
… extensions of the probability model for paired comparisons, which was developed by R. A. Bradley and M. E. Terry, are considered. Four generalizations to triple comparisons are discussed. One of these models is used to develop methods of analysis of data obtained from the ranks of items compared …

Nonparametric Predictive Inference for Multiple Comparisons
… Predictive Inference (NPI) for several multiple comparisons problems. We introduce NPI for comparison of multiple groups of data including right-censored observations. Different right-censoring schemes discussed are early termination of an experiment, progressive censoring and competing risks. …

Comparisons of treatment strategies for necrotizing pancreatitis
" Forty to seventy percent of secondary bacterial infections, mainly by Gram-negative organisms, can be combined with necrotizing pancreatitis, and it's mortality with organ failure is reported to be nearly 30%. Specific symptoms, contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography(CECT), Ranson's …

Magnitude Recoding in Variable-Range Memorial Comparisons
Several experiments examine propositional and analog model explanations of how relative size judgments are made. Analog models generally claim that analog size values are retrieved from memory and compared. Time to judge remembered size thus reflects a memorial pyschophysics. In contrast, one …

Growth comparisons for certain Nevanlinna theory functionals
We show that for all entire f with $\vert{\rm f}(0)\vert\ge 1$ and all ${\rm r}>0$, $$\rm log\ M(r,f)\le d\sb\alpha T(r,f)\sp{1\over 2}T(\alpha r,f)\sp{1\over 2},\leqno(*)$$and$$\rm m\sbsp{p}{+}(r,f)\le d\sbsp{\alpha}{p-1\over p}\ T(r,f)\sp{p+1\over 2p}\ T(\alpha r,f)\sp{p-1\over 2p},$$where …

Temperature Disparity Comparisons for Campus Heat Vulnerabilities
For the past several decades, planet Earth has experienced the detrimental effects of climate change like heightened temperatures, extreme weather, and wildlife loss, and to this day, still continues to experience these consequences. Because of this, people at various levels of society – global, …

Comparisons of correlation methods in risk analysis
This thesis presents a comparison of correlation methods in risk analysis. A theoretical solution is given to the correlation problem along with a discussion of each method. Each method is compared to a developed test case and two other cost projects. Restrictions on correlation coefficients are …

Comparisons of Design Thinking for Engineering Education
… and architecture. To draw design thinking comparisons between these groups, a survey with a nine item design thinking instrument was distributed nationally to freshmen engineering students (n= 2,158), senior engineering students (n= 1,893), and senior architecture students (n= 336). The …

Deflection comparisons of different wooden floor systems
Full-scale structural deflection tests were conducted on floor sections with 2"x4" , 2"x6", and 2"x8" joists at four different stages of construction. Stage A was joist alone; stage B joists plus 1/2" plywood subflooring; stage C, stage B plus 25/32" oak strip flooring laid parallel to the joists; …

Mate Selection Comparisons in Heterosexual and Homosexual Individuals
The effects of character traits and socioeconomic status on mate selection for both heterosexual and homosexual individuals was studied. The current study recruited 347 Central Washington University students who ranked the importance of descriptive traits in a potential long-term mate, and also …

Evolutionary Measurements Using Ribosomal Rna Sequence Comparisons (Phylogeny)
Comparisons of complete 16S ribosomal RNA sequences have been used to confirm and refine the phylogeny of bacteria. Two bacterial 16S rRNAs have been analysed in this study.
