Functional Literacy: Should it be Mandatory?
… are persons who cannot read or write or perform simple arithmetic at all. The reasons for failure of voluntary literacy are reviewed, and consideration given to mandatory literacy as a solution to the problem. The effect of functional illiteracy on the military is examined, as well as the …

Architecture and Applications of a Unifield-Type Computer
… are the unary representation that allows simple arithmetic operations to be performed in the same registers in which the numbers are stored, and, a novel interconnection scheme that allows any number of predefined permutations to be performed with no penalty in time. This architecture is …

Embodied mathematics by interactive sketching
… are layers of metaphors that are based on simple arithmetic capabilities such as categorizing objects, subitizing, and part-whole analysis. Unfortunately, current practice of abstract math often requires us to memorize rules of manipulation, which are cognitively arbitrary, severed from …

An Arithmetic-Based Deterministic Centroid Initialization Method for the k-Means Clustering Algorithm
… overall runtime. This research proposes a simple, arithmetic-based deterministic centroid initialization method which is much faster than randomized initialization. Preliminary experiments suggest that this collection of methods, referred to herein as the sharding centroid initialization …

Mathematical approaches to food nutrient content estimation with a focus on phenylalanine
… content. The second approach is based on two simple lemmas which apply to sweets with gelatin. Specifically, we show that simple arithmetic operations can be used to determine an amount of sweets that is guaranteed to contain less than 20 mg Phe. The third approach is based on numerical …

DOMAIN-SPECIFIC AND DOMAIN-GENERAL INFLUENCES ON EARLY MATHEMATICAL SKILLS: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
… to number-word linkage (Level II) and to early arithmetic skills (Level III). This thesis examines the longitudinal and independent contributions that domain-specific and domain-general cognitive skills make to early number skills and to two standardised mathematical attainment measures. Verbal, …

Fuzzy time series analysis and prediction using swarm optimized hybrid model.
… forecasts are combined based on either the simple arithmetic average method or an artificial neural network. Research has not yet revealed the conditions for the optimal forecast combinations. This thesis provides a few contributions to enhance the existing combination model. A set of …

Restricting Supervised Learning: Feature Selection and Feature Space Partition
… obtain a low variance predictor, linear or other simple functions are normally suggested, but they usually result in high bias. Hence, a possible solution is to partition the feature space into multiple non-overlapping regions such that each region is simple enough to be classified easily. In this …
