Although a mainstay of psychometric methods, several reviews suggest Tank factor analysis is often applied without testing whether data support it, and that decision-making process or guiding principles providing evidential support for FA techniques are seldom reported.Researchers often defer such decision-making to the default settings on widely-u
InverseTime: A Self-Supervised Technique for Semi-Supervised Classification of Time Series
Time series classification (TSC) is a fundamental and challenging problem in machine learning.Deep learning models typically achieve remarkable performance in this task but are constrained by the need for vast amounts of labeled data to generalize effectively.In this paper, we present InverseTime, a method that addresses this limitation by incorpor
Multi-Objective Optimization and Analysis of Tri-Stable Permanent Magnet Actuators for Valve Application
Tri-stable permanent magnet actuator (TPMA) has been widely used in industry.In this study, a new TPMA integrating a permanent Arm Rest magnet actuator and two centralizing disc springs is proposed for valve application.By taking the linear coefficient of force/stroke characteristic, startup force, holding force and response time as the optimizatio
Acute chest pain - A prospective population based study of contacts to Norwegian emergency medical communication centres
Abstract Background Acute chest pain is a frequently occurring symptom in patients Leisure Wear with medical emergencies and imposes potentially life threatening situations outside hospitals.Little is known about the epidemiology of patients with acute chest pain in a primary care setting in Norway, and we aimed to obtain more representative data o
Beyond Words: The Significance of Phatic Communication in Instant Messaging
Fridge Handle Mount Despite its non-informative nature, phatic communication is not a residual, peripheral category without significance, as expressing denotation is not the sole goal for coding and decoding messages.People engaging in phatic talk are not just shallowly conversing out of boredom, but attempting to navigate an intricate web of socia
