Consistency And Generalization In Incrementally Trained Connectionist Networks, Tony R. Martinez May 1990

Consistency And Generalization In Incrementally Trained Connectionist Networks, Tony R. Martinez

Faculty Publications

This paper discusses aspects of consistency and generalization in connectionist networks which learn through incremental training by examples or rules. Differences between training set learning and incremental rule or example learning are presented. Generalization, the ability to output reasonable mappings when presented with novel input patterns, is discussed in light of the above learning methods. In particular, the contrast between humming distance generalization and generalizing by high order combinations of critical variables is overviewed. Examples of detailed rules for an incremental learning model are presented for both consistency and generalization constraints.

Interactive Morphometrics From Three-Dimensional Surface Images, William A. Barrett, Shawn C. Becker May 1990

Interactive Morphometrics From Three-Dimensional Surface Images, William A. Barrett, Shawn C. Becker

Faculty Publications

Techniques have been developed for extracting three-dimensional (3D) measurements directly and interactively from 3D representations of surface anatomy. In order to obtain 3D measurements the anatomical surface is interrogated directly through the use of morphometric tools. Morphometric tools include points, 3D graphical "probes", and logical sectioning functions which interact with the surface through depth buffer compositing operations. Tools are interactively positioned on or through the surface to measure surface dimensions and partial volumes, or to define intersecting functions which allow surface anatomy to be visualized in the context of surrounding anatomy. Visualization is also enhanced because tools reveal much pertaining …

Moral Choices And Their Outcomes, William R. Swinyard, Thomas J. Delong Apr 1990

Moral Choices And Their Outcomes, William R. Swinyard, Thomas J. Delong

BYU Studies

This article examines types of moral decision making through surveying students at Brigham Young University (Christian) and at the National University of Singapore (Buddhist, Hindu, and Moslem). The authors present the moral decision making process in terms of rules with no thought of outcomes and rules that affect outcomes. Results show both cultures have basically the same moral decision-making processes; however, BYU students favored decisions that obeyed the rules or doing the "right" thing; and NUS students favored outcomes, or doing what will benefit the most people.

The Social Origins Of The Kirtland Mormons, Mark R. Grandstaff, Milton Vaughn Backman Jr. Apr 1990

The Social Origins Of The Kirtland Mormons, Mark R. Grandstaff, Milton Vaughn Backman Jr.

BYU Studies

Kirtland, Ohio, was settled mostly by New Englanders prior to the arrival of a group of Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) in 1831. The Mormons came from New York and New England. These settlers were part of a westward movement of people looking for more farmland and a better climate than was found in New England and New York. The Mormons who came to Kirtland were not transients; about 95 percent had moved two times before or fewer. This article looks at schooling, wealth, and religiosity of the Mormons in Kirtland. It includes diary …

Joseph Smith's 1826 Trial: The Legal Setting, Gordon A. Madsen Apr 1990

Joseph Smith's 1826 Trial: The Legal Setting, Gordon A. Madsen

BYU Studies

In 1826 in Bainbridge, New York, Joseph Smith, later founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was charged with being a disorderly person. In this article lawyer Gordon A. Madsen puts the trial into the legal context of the day and examines the statutory, procedural, and case law in force in New York in 1826. He then reexamines the conclusions drawn by earlier writers.

The Lds Missionary Experience: Observations On Stress, Madison H. Thomas, Marian P. Thomas Apr 1990

The Lds Missionary Experience: Observations On Stress, Madison H. Thomas, Marian P. Thomas

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

The missionary experience may exceed the stress-hardiness level of some missionaries. Professional observations over the past six years have prompted a survey of factors involved. Six special areas considered are: (1) Comparative models of life sequences; (2) Selected factors in stress; (3) Diversity of mission administrative and priority patterns; (4) Women in mission relationships (5) End-of-mission and after-mission considerations; and, (6) Stress disorder parallels. Suggestions are made for some conceptual frameworks to help in further study of these areas, including a proposal to recognize as a clinical entity a mission-related stress disorder.

Effects Of Nitrogen Availability On Growth And Photosynthesis Of Artemisia Tridentata Ssp. Wyomingensis, Paul S. Doescher, Richard F. Miller, Jianguo Wang, Jeff Rose Mar 1990

Effects Of Nitrogen Availability On Growth And Photosynthesis Of Artemisia Tridentata Ssp. Wyomingensis, Paul S. Doescher, Richard F. Miller, Jianguo Wang, Jeff Rose

Great Basin Naturalist

This study examined the effects of alterations in soil nitrogen on the growth of Artemessia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Nutt. Soil nitrogen content was altered by applying sugar (45 g/m2), nitrate (4.5 g/m2), or ammonium (4.5 g/m2), and the results were compared with a control treatment (no soil amendments). Addition of either form of nitrogen significantly increased leaf nitrogen content, mean maximum length of ephemeral leaves, number of ephemeral leaves per terminal shoot, and current year's vegetative stem length over the control and sugar treatments. Both soil water and predawn xylem potentials during active growth …

A Plasma Protein Marker For Population Genetic Studies Of The Desert Tortoise (Xerobates Agassizi), James L. Glenn, Richard C. Straight, Jack W. Sites Jr. Mar 1990

A Plasma Protein Marker For Population Genetic Studies Of The Desert Tortoise (Xerobates Agassizi), James L. Glenn, Richard C. Straight, Jack W. Sites Jr.

Great Basin Naturalist

Fifty-seven individual plasma samples from desert tortoises (Xerobates agassizi) representing 10 separate populations were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using alkaline buffers. An albumin-like protein was found to be polymorphic for two electromorphs in northern populations inhabiting the Mohave Desert Province while Sonoran Desert populations to the south were monomorphic. The genetic divergence demonstrated in this survey is similar to earlier studies and provides evidence for the Colorado River as a potential barrier to gene flow among tortoise populations. These data suggest that tortoise plasma, examined by various electrophoretic methods, may provide a nondestructive means of determining the …

Photoluminescence Studies In Znxcd1-Xte Single Crystals, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, Elías López-Cruz, Worth P. Allred Mar 1990

Photoluminescence Studies In Znxcd1-Xte Single Crystals, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, Elías López-Cruz, Worth P. Allred

Faculty Publications

The crystalline quality of ZnxCd1-xTe single crystals prepared by a modified Bridgman method with 0≤x≤0.05 has been analyzed using photoluminescence. The spectrum of a typical sample is dominated by lines originating from the recombination of free and bound excitons. Lines due to free excitons in their ground and first excited states are observed in both the pure CdTe and the mixed crystals. Excitons bound to Dc vacancies are observed in the pure CdTe crystal but not in the mixed crystal. Weaker and broader features appearing at energies below the exciton emission range were associated with transitions involving free-to-bound and bound-to-bound …

Dante And The Franciscan Movement, Ilona Klein

Faculty Publications

Consider what might happen if, instead of nuclear bombs and pollution, twentieth-century technology had provided us with time machines; affordable, handy appliances to be bought readily and kept in living rooms, perhaps next to the sofa. In order to travel through time, one would only need to sit back comfortably and turn the electronic control panel's time knob in the proper direction; then, push a button when the indicator reaches the year one wants to visit. . .
