Equivalence Class Formation and Attitudes Toward Neurodevelopmental Disabilities
… has discovered a reflective relationship between equivalence class formation and implicit attitudes, as measured by the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Research has also confirmed that performance on the IAT can be altered through equivalence class reorganization. However, this has not yet been …

Promoting generalization of coin value relations with young children via equivalence class formation
… of properties that define the relations of equivalence. An equivalence relation requires the demonstration of three conditional relations: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. The equivalence stimulus paradigm provides a method to account for novel responding. The research suggests that …

Strong Orbit Equivalence and Residuality
<p>In this dissertation, we consider notions of equivalence between minimal Cantor systems, in particular strong orbit equivalence. By constructing the systems, we show that there exist two nonisomorphic substitution systems that are both Kakutani equivalent and strongly orbit equivalent. We go on …

Do Shared S-minus Functions Among Stimuli Lead to Equivalence?
We examined the claim that equivalence classes contain all positive elements in a reinforcement contingency by asking whether negative stimuli in a reinforcement contingency will also form an equivalence class, based on their shared function as S-minus stimuli. In Experiment 1, 5 subjects were …

Use-driven concept formation
… including a new inductive bias that I call the equivalence class principle. I then use the domain of two-player, perfect-information games to test and refine those principles. I show how the principles can be applied in a semiautomated fashion to identify strategically-important visual concepts, …

Game Theoretic Approaches to Three-Way Decisions
… the inclusion degree of an equiva- lence class in a concept when constructing three-way decisions with quantitative rough sets. The thesis applies game theoretic approaches in quantitative rough sets to for- mulate a game for each equivalence class. The game result representing a tradeo …

Learning causal graphs under interventions and applications to single-cell biological data analysis
… and characterizing the interventional Markov equivalence class that can be identified from general interventions. Subsequently, this thesis proposes the first provably consistent algorithm for learning DAGs in this setting. Finally, this algorithm as well as related work is applied to analyze …

Competing Arbitrary and Non-Arbitrary Stimulus Relations in Adults, Normally Developing Children and Children with a Diagnosis of Autism
… non-arbitrary stimulus relations disrupted equivalence-consistent responding in adult humans. Chapter 1 provides a review of research into stimulus equivalence, derived relational responding, and notes that the Colour-Test condition presented in the Stewart et al. (2002) study shared many …

Preferential Arrangement Containment in Strict Superpatterns
… for sets where reversals fall into the same equivalence class and for sets in higher dimensions. The minimum word length and the word length necessary for a strict superpattern to contain all preferential arrangements for alphabet sizes two and three are also detailed.</p>

Zero Divisor Graphs and Poset Decomposition
… relates to zero-divisor graphs. We will dicuss equivalence class graphs defined on the elements of various algebraic structures and also the reduced graph defined on the vertices of a compact graph. After introducing and discussing some known results on poset dimension, we will show that poset …

D-branes and K-homology
… element of the $K$-homology group is given by an equivalence class of $K$-cycles $[M,E,\phi]$, where $M$ is a closed spin$^c$ manifold, $E$ is a complex vector bundle over $M$, and $\phi: M\rightarrow X$ is a continuous map. It is proposed that a $K$-cycle $[M,E,\phi]$ represents a D-brane …

Monopole Floer homology, link surgery, and odd Khovanov homology
… homology. Furthermore, the bigraded isomorphism class of the higher pages depends only on the Conway-mutation equivalence class of L. We constrain the existence of an integer bigrading by considering versions of the spectral sequence with non-trivial U action, and determine all monopole Floer …

Qualitative analyses of the …

Automatic techniques for detecting and exploiting symmetry in model checking
… unique representatives for each symmetric equivalence class is easy for these limited kinds of symmetry. We present a theoretical framework for symmetry reduction which can be applied to explicit state model checking. The framework includes techniques for automatic symmetry detection using …

Suffix arrays in theory and practice
… length, we divide the set of all strings into equivalence classes of strings that share the same suffix array. For each such equivalence class, we count the number of strings contained in it and enumerate those strings. We also give exact formulas for computing the number of equivalence classes …

Maps : a compiler-managed memory system for software-exposed architectures
… methods for bank disambiguation are presented: equivalence-class unification and modulo unrolling. Taking a sequential program as input, a bank-disambiguation method produces two outputs: first, a distribution of each program object among the memory banks; and second, a bank number for every …

Statistical Inference for Diagnostic Classification Models
Diagnostic classification models (DCM) are an important recent development in educational and psychological testing. Instead of an overall test score, a diagnostic test provides each subject with a profile detailing the concepts and skills (often called "attributes") that he/she has mastered. …

Intelligent based Packet Scheduling Scheme using Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) Technology for 5G. Design and Investigation of Bandwidth Management Technique for Service-Aware Traffic Engineering using Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) for 5G

Thus header analysis of packets is not required, resulting in lower latency. In addition, packets of similar characteristics can be …

Proof search issues in some non-classical logics
