Tourism destinations’ image: assessment vis-à-vis the experience in theory and in the service-centric economy

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Turismo, 2016
This paper assesses the image of tourist destinations as products in light of the experience theory, in order to evaluate relationships between both constructs. A scale is set forth to measure the image of coastal destinations, with different attractions,

Envy-Free Allocation by Sperner’s Lemma Adapted to Rotation Shifts in a Company

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
This article discusses a theoretical construction based on the graph theory to rework the space of potential partitions in envy-free distribution. This work has the objective of applying Sperner’s lemma to the distribution of three rotating shifts for ...

How to clean a dirty floor: Probabilistic potential theory and the Dobrushin uniqueness theorem

open access: yesMarkov Processes and Related Fields, 2007
Motivated by the Dobrushin uniqueness theorem in statistical mechanics, we consider the following situation: Let αbe a nonnegative matrix over a finite or countably infinite index set X, and define the "cleaning operators" β_h = I_{1-h} + I_h αfor h: X \to [0,1] (here I_f denotes the diagonal matrix with entries f).

Mutation testing from probabilistic finite state machines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Mutation testing traditionally involves mutating a program in order to produce a set of mutants and using these mutants in order to either estimate the effectiveness of a test suite or to drive test generation.

Intention Reasoning for User Action Sequences via Fusion of Object Task and Object Action Affordances Based on Dempster–Shafer Theory

open access: yesSensors
To reduce the burden on individuals with disabilities when operating a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm (WMRA), many researchers have focused on inferring users’ subsequent task intentions based on their “gazing” or “selecting” of scene objects.

Pattern Activation/Recognition Theory of Mind

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
In his 2012 book How to Create a Mind, Ray Kurzweil defines a Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind that states that the brain uses millions of pattern recognizers, plus modules to check, organize, and augment them.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Performance analysis of probabilistic timed automata using digital clocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Probabilistic timed automata, a variant of timed automata extended with discrete probability distributions, is a modelling formalism suitable for describing formally both nondeterministic and probabilistic aspects of real-time systems, and is amenable to

Evidence-Theory-Based Robust Optimization and Its Application in Micro-Electromechanical Systems

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The conventional engineering robustness optimization approach considering uncertainties is generally based on a probabilistic model. However, a probabilistic model faces obstacles when handling problems with epistemic uncertainty.
