Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Laboratory Study of Bayesian Updating in Small Feedback-Based Decision ProblemsTakemi Fujikawa, Sobei H. OdaThis study explores small feedback-based decision problems experimentally. Conducted were the experiments in which the decision-maker’s payoff distribution was limited to either favorable distribution or unfavorable distribution. The first remarkable observation revealed complexity/loss aversion in the experiment. The second observation included the law of small numbers. Deviations from maximization were also observed. Finally, we investigated the imperfect Bayesian decision-makers observed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Class of Region-preserving Space Transformations for Indexing High-dimensional DataRatko Orlandic, Jack LukaszukThis study introduces a class of region preserving space transformation (RPST) schemes for accessing high-dimensional data. The access methods in this class differ with respect to their space-partitioning strategies. The study develops two new static partitioning schemes that can split each dimension of the space within linear space complexity. They also support an effective mechanism for handling skewed data in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,919 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpulse Volt-Time Characteristics of Oil and OIP InsulationS. Venkatesan, S. UsaEstimation of insulation strength of transformer oil and Oil Impregnated Paper (OIP) insulation, which constitutes major portion of insulation in power transformer, is an important task. Also, it is often necessary to evaluate the breakdown strength of oil and OIP under non-standard impulse voltages, since the oil and OIP insulation is subjected to non-standard waveshapes between inter-disc and inter-turn insulation. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of the Effect of Aspect Ratio on the Airfoil PerformanceM. Kopaç, M. Yılmaz, T. GültopThe effect of aspect ratio on the airfoil performance is investigated for airflow about axially symetric wings as a function of the angle of attack. The magnitudes of aerodynamic forces and moments on airfoils resulting from the incompressible viscous flow fields are determined experimentally. The TE54 wind tunnel used for the experiments is an open conduit and has a 300x300 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,682 accessesView PDFCite
