Speech Stream Composition Affects Statistical Learning: Behavioral and Neural Evidence by Ana Paula Soares, Dario Paiva, Alberto Lema, Diana R. Pereira, Ana Cláudia Rodrigues, Helena Mendes Oliveira

“…Here, we tested if SL is affected by the composition of the speech streams by expositing participants to auditory streams containing either four nonsense words presenting a transitional probability (TP) of 1 (unmixed high-TP condition), four nonsense words presenting TPs of 0.33 (unmixed low-TP condition) or two nonsense words presenting a TP of 1, and two of a TP of 0.33 (mixed condition); first under incidental (implicit), and, subsequently, under intentional (explicit) conditions to further ascertain how prior knowledge modulates the results. …”

Performance Evaluation of Extended EWMA Chart for AR Model with Exogenous Variables by Totsaporn Muangngam, Yupaporn Areepong, Saowanit Sukparungsee

“…The accuracy of the exact solutions has been verified using the numerical integral equation (NIE) methods that employ four different composite quadrature rules. The result shows that the ARL values obtained from both methods are similar, and the computation time for the proposed explicit formulas is less than 0.001 second. …”

Analysis of Shear Flexible Layered Isotropic and Composite Shells by ‘EPSA’ by Pawel Woelke, Ka-Kin Chan, Raymond Daddazio, Najib Abboud, George Z. Voyiadjis

“…We present a simple and efficient method for the analysis of shear flexible isotropic and orthotropic composite shells. Classical thin shell constitutive equations used in the explicit finite element code EPSA to model homogenous isotropic shells using "through-the-thickness-integration" and layered orthotropic composite shells [1–3,5] are modified to account for transverse shear deformation. …”
