In this article, we argue in favor of a sophisticated version of scientific realism, based on an analysis of what we consider to be the strategic element of its defense: the “miracle argument”. Scientific realism is the ...

During early ontogeny heterogeneous rats are sensitive to ethanol's stimulating effects. In adulthood locomotor activity in a novel environment is a valuable predictor of acute sensitivity to the activating effects of ...

The ability to detect changes in the data distribution is an important issue in Data Stream mining. Detecting changes in data distribution allows the adaptation of a previously learned model to accommodate the most recent ...

Likelihood of alcohol use disorders is greater in adolescence than in other developmental stages. Greater novelty-seeking, enhanced sensitivity to stress or to ethanol-induced appetitive effects, or lessened sensitivity ...

Neophobia, or the hesitancy to approach a novel food item, object, or place, is an important factor influencing the foraging behavior of animals. Environmental factors (e.g. rapid anthropogenic changes, migration into new ...

Model predictive control has emerged as a promising approach to govern modular multilevel converters (MMCs), due to its flexibility to include multiple control objectives and simple design process. However, this control ...

Stressful experiences appear to have a strong influence on susceptibility to drug taking behavior. Cross-sensitization between stress and drug-induced locomotor response has been found. Locomotor response to novelty or ...

Matrix factorization models are the core of current commercial collaborative filtering Recommender Systems. This paper tested six representative matrix factorization models, using four collaborative filtering datasets. ...
