The sex trade is perceived to be increasing along trucking routes, in spite of measures instituted to limit access to FSWs. FSWs struggle to cope with the pressure of unprotected sex because of the need to generate more income, as well as avoid incidents of violence and threats. Interventions...
This paper extends the cross-efficiency evaluation in series and parallel structures for use with the directional distance function (DDF). In the proposed DDF cross-efficiency evaluation, the system cross-efficiency score can be decomposed into a weighted average of process cross-efficiency scores, ...
space, I don't know if there are any nice properties for general kernels to help with this optimization, and we probably don't have derivative info for the kernel function in general, but it's possible this would be easier than finding the Fréchet mean for an arbitrary kernel function. ...
Dr. Cai Wen dened in his 1983 paper: — the distance formula between a point x0 and a one-dimensional (1D) interval a, b; — and the dependence function which gives the degree of dependence of a point with respect to a pair of included 1D-intervals. His paper inspired us to general...
“at a distance”表达的意思中,指的是“距离较远”;而“in the distance”表达的意思里,指的是“距离较近”。这不,我们可以从上述的例句中就感受出来。 捡了distance的相关短语,咱们继续往下看: as well:也,同样,又,还 【例句】 I can...
We prospectively examined the distance from the skin to the epidural space (SE distance) in 95 Japanese parturient women who underwent epidural anesthesia at the L1-2 interspace, and studied the correlation between various physical factors and SE distance. The same anesthesiologist inserted the epidu...
A positive answer is obtained in Section 3, where we establish several inequalities of type (1) involving generalized distance functions (Section 3). Finally, in Section 4, some generalized distance inequalities for self-crossing polygons are proved. 2. Generalized Distance Function Definition 1. ...
The new administrative distance value is relevant only to the routing process of a single router (in this case R1). R2 still has IGRP routes in the routing table. R1#show ip route Gateway of last resort is not set 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets C 172.16.1.0 is directly ...
Social distance, or the level of familiarity and rapport, within the officer-offender relationship is important in reducing recidivism and promoting desistance. Although examined in a variety of contexts, few researchers have studied the social distance between sex offenders and community supervision offic...
The present investigation aims to study the function relating the semantic gradient with the psychological distance between the word and the color in a Stroop task. After measuring the gradient, we obtained the subjective rating of the degree of dissimilarity of the gradient words with the concept ...
