Table 3: DPC Practice Characteristics in Ten Most Populous Cities in US This table shows all of the DPC practices included in the analysis for Table 1. This includes practices within the city limits of the cities included in Table 1 according to the DPC Frontier Mapper that meet the three-part definition of the DPC model in that they charge a recurring monthly or yearly membership fee, they do ...

In the discussions on the limitation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), there are three major misconceptions, which identify an AI system with an ax-iomatic system, a Turing machine, and a system with a model-theoretic se-mantics, respectively. Though these three notions can be used to describe a computer system for certain purposes, they are not always the proper theoretical notions when an AI ...

Abstract: Logic should return its focus to valid reasoning in real-world situations. Since classical logic only covers valid reasoning in a highly idealized situation, there is a demand for a new logic for everyday reasoning that is based on more realistic assumptions, while still keeps the general, formal, and normative nature of logic. NAL (Non-Axiomatic Logic) is built for this purpose ...

Since neither Plato’s nor the general sense of “sophist” encourages an account of sophistic method and practice, it is questionable whether there is an alternative approach. The follow-ing discussion offers a sort of middle course by suggesting alterations to Plato’s sense of “sophist” that in turn yield a subset of sophists in the general sense. What is ultimately important here ...

This is part of the general trend that started in the 1990s, where profi t and non- for- profi t organizations contract out non- core activities in order to save on resources, eliminate labor disputes, and enjoy on occasion greater use of technology of the contracted companies.

Abstract. Outlier detection has recently become an important problem in many industrial and financial applications. This problem is further complicated by the fact that in many cases, outliers have to be detected from data streams that arrive at an enormous pace. In this paper, an incremental LOF (Local Outlier Factor) algorithm, appropriate for detecting outliers in data streams, is proposed ...

Xiang Bai and Longin Jan Latecki, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper proposes a novel graph matching algorithm and applies it to shape recognition based on object silhouettes. The main idea is to match skeleton graphs by comparing the geodesic paths between skeleton endpoints. In contrast to typical tree or graph matching methods, we do not consider the topological graph structure. Our ...

Abstract A large field study of children in first and second grade explored how parents’ anxiety about math relates to their children’s math achievement. The goal of the study was to better understand why some students perform worse in math than others. We tested whether parents’ math anxiety predicts their children’s math achievement across the school year. We found that when parents ...

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new shape decomposition method, called convex shape decomposition. We formal-ize the convex decomposition problem as an integer linear programming problem, and obtain approximate optimal so-lution by minimizing the total cost of decomposition under some concavity constraints. Our method is based on Morse theory and combines information from multiple Morse ...

The overarching question underlying the debate was whether, and to what extent, a court of law, especially one with the diplomatic contours of the ICJ, could properly grapple with complex evidence4 when called to settle a dispute with science-heavy or technically knotty aspects. As one scholar aptly observed, “[s]cientific disputes pose new challenges within the rationalist conception of ...
