Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinding What You Expect to See: Theoretical Modeling in PsycholinguisticsKathleen AhrensProblem statement: Theories of language processing rely upon experimental evidence to support or reject their hypotheses. Yet it is often the case that conflicting theories flourish alongside each other for decades, with voluminous experimental evidence to support their respective hypotheses. Approach: In this study, I suggest it is imperative for researchers to move beyond their own experiments and results to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite

PerlaProblem statement: In 1974, McKeachie published a brief article in The Educational Researcher called, "The Decline and Fall of the Laws of Learning". Approach: This article was primarily about the decline and fall of the behaviorist laws of learning and radical behaviorism, both of which were never quite the same in psychology or education after this article as before it … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2010 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Cryptographic Systems Using Fractal Image CodingNadia M.G. Al-Saidi, Muhammad Rushdan Md. SaidProblem statement: With the rapid development in the communications and information transmissions there is a growing demand for new approaches that increase the security of cryptographic systems. Approach: Therefore some emerging theories, such as fractals, can be adopted to provide a contribution toward this goal. In this study we proposed a new cryptographic system utilizing fractal theories; this approach exploited … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGravitation Due to Scalar Potentials and Black HolesMark TitlemanThis paper argues that the universe possesses two scalar potentials similar to those proposed by E.T. Whittaker in which waveforms travel longitudinally. It is proposed that these scalar potentials form through black holes, creating normal transverse electromagnetic radiation as well as gravity. This opens up new avenues for understanding the universe and black holes while applying parsimonious explanations to dark … …Physics International, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 8 Jun 2020 · 9,951 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputing MDR-Game with Applications to Real DataJimbo Henri Claver, Takeru Suzuki, Jesus Pascal et al.Originally developed for probability and statistic purposes, Multiple Dice Rolling (MDR) game turns out to be useful for many other applications such as complex biological systems and medical research. It has been mainly used to estimate system states that cannot be observed directly. MDR game is affected by noise and fluctuations. It is widely agreed that noise in dynamic systems … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2018 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
