Quantum machine learning: Preface
(De Gruyter, 2020-06-08)Imparting intelligence to the machines has always been a challenging thoroughfare. Over the years, several intelligent tools have been invented or proposed to deal with the uncertainties encountered by human beings with ... -
An adaptive multiresolution interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin Method for wave equations in second order form
(Springer, 2020-10-04)In this paper, we propose a class of adaptive multiresolution (also called adaptive sparse grid) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for simulating scalar wave equations in second order form in space. The two key ingredients ... -
More isn’t always better: when metacognitive prompts are misleading
(Springer, 2020-09-29)Accurate metacognitive monitoring improves performance in a variety of naturalistic contexts. However, the laboratory contexts used to study metacognition differ from naturalistic environments in important ways. Specifically, ... -
Quantum machine learning
(De Gruyter, 2020-06-08)Quantum-enhanced machine learning refers to quantum algorithms that solve tasks in machine learning, thereby improving a classical machine learning method. Such algorithms typically require one to encode the given classical ... -
Vagal suppression buffers against the negative effects of psychological inflexibility on parenting behaviors in combat deployed fathers
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-09-16)Objective: Vagal suppression is a parasympathetic physiological indicator of emotion regulation and social engagement behaviors, often measured via heart rate variability. Experiential avoidance reflects psychological ... -
Effect of BMP-2 adherent to resorbable sutures on cartilage repair: A rat model of xyphoid process
(MDPI AG, 2020-08-26)Meniscal tears are often seen in orthopedic practice. The current strategy for meniscal repair has only had limited success with a relatively high incidence of re-operative rate. This study evaluates the therapeutic effects ... -
A Kantian theory of the Sensory Processing Subtype of ASD

(Routledge, 2020-09-05)In sub-Saharan Africa, HIV-positive older adults aged 50 years and older experience complex psychosocial issues in addition to dealing with their HIV status and the ageing process. This study focused on the association ... -
Assets and needs of local food producers in Sedgwick County: An exploratory analysis
(Wichita State University, 2020-12)The current agricultural food system has been criticized for its economic, social, and environmental consequences. Alternative and local food systems have been proposed to be movements reacting against current agricultural ... -
Enhancing detection sensitivity for measuring amino neurotransmitters with flow-gated capillary electrophoresis
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Capillary electrophoresis (CE) commences as a promising technique for analyzing a variety of biological substances and has been used in bioanalytical and biopharmaceutical applications. Flow-gated CE has numerous advantages ... -
A comparison of two behavioral activation protocols
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Behavioral activation (BA) is an empirically-supported treatment for major depressive disorder that seeks to increase overt behaviors as a way of countering withdrawal and passivity that often occurs during it. While some ... -
