Purpose The current study aimed to identify factors that distinguish between older (50+ years) hearing aid (HA) candidates who do and do not purchase HAs after having gone through an HA evaluation period (HAEP). Method Secondary data analysis of the SUpport PRogram trial was performed ( n = 267 older, 1st-time HA candidates). All SUpport PRogram participants started an HAEP shortly after study enrollment. Decision to purchase an HA by the end of the HAEP was the outcome of interest of the current study. Participants' baseline covariates (22 in total) were included as candidate predictors. Multivariable logistic regression modeling (backward selection and reclassification tables) was used. Results Of all candidate predictors, only pure-tone average (average of 1, 2, and 4 kHz) hearing loss emerged as a significant predictor (odds ratio = 1.03, 95% confidence interval [1.03, 1.17]). Model performance was weak (Nagelkerke R 2 = .04, area under the curve = 0.61). Conclusions These data suggest that, once HA candidates have decided to enter an HAEP, factors measured early in the help-seeking journey do not predict well who will and will not purchase an HA. Instead, factors that act during the HAEP may hold this predictive value. This should be examined.

Abstract. Several empirical investigations have explored whether observers prefer to sort sets of multidimensional stimuli into groups by employing one-dimensional or family-resemblance strategies. Although one-dimensional sorting strategies have been the prevalent finding for these unsupervised classification paradigms, several researchers have provided evidence that the choice of strategy may depend on the particular demands of the task. To account for this disparity, we propose that observers extract relational patterns from stimulus sets that facilitate the development of optimal classification strategies for relegating category membership. We conducted a novel constrained categorization experiment to empirically test this hypothesis by instructing participants to either add or remove objects from presented categorical stimuli. We employed generalized representational information theory (GRIT; Vigo, 2011b , 2013a , 2014 ) and its associated formal models to predict and explain how human beings chose to modify these categorical stimuli. Additionally, we compared model performance to predictions made by a leading prototypicality measure in the literature.

Having analyzed the present state of the Russian economy the authors come to the conclusion that the only reasonable goal of its modernization is achieving high competitive capacity of production. External and internal competitive capacity is analysed in detail basing on broad statistics as well as competitive capacity of institutions and their changes, the adaptive model of transition economy. According to the authors implementation of competitive capacity policy as a national idea should take into account long-term perspective.

Abstract The aim of this study was to verify first-order kinetic reaction rate model performance in predicting of leaching of atrazine and inorganic compounds (K+1, Fe+3, Mg+2, Mn+2, NH4 +, NO3 - and PO4 -3) from tilled and orchard silty loam soils. This model provided an excellent fit to the experimental concentration changes of the compounds vs. time data during leaching. Calculated values of the first-order reaction rate constants for the changes of all chemicals were from 3.8 to 19.0 times higher in orchard than in tilled soil. Higher first-order reaction constants for orchard than tilled soil correspond with both higher total porosity and contribution of biological pores in the former. The first order reaction constants for the leaching of chemical compounds enables prediction of the actual compound concentration and the interactions between compound and soil as affected by management system. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of simultaneous chemical and physical analyses as a tool for the understanding of leaching in variously managed soils.

Hyperparameter Selection

We introduce Attention and Edge Memory schemes to the existing Message Passing Neural Network framework for graph convolution, and benchmark our approaches against eight different physical-chemical and bioactivity datasets from the literature. We remove the need to introduce <i>a priori</i> knowledge of the task and chemical descriptor calculation by using only fundamental graph-derived properties. Our results consistently perform on-par with other state-of-the-art machine learning approaches, and set a new standard on sparse multi-task virtual screening targets. We also investigate model performance as a function of dataset preprocessing, and make some suggestions regarding hyperparameter selection.

A high-quality parameter set is essential for reliable stormwater models. Model performance can be improved by optimizing initial parameter estimates. Parameter sensitivity analysis is a robust way to distinguish the influence of parameters on model output and efficiently target the most important parameters to modify. This study evaluates efficient construction of a sewershed model using relatively low-resolution (e.g., 30 meter DEM) data and explores model sensitivity to parameters and regional characteristics using the EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). A SWMM model was developed for a sewershed in the City of Pittsburgh, where stormwater management is a critical concern. We assumed uniform or log-normal distributions for parameters and used Monte Carlo simulations to explore and rank the influence of parameters on predicted surface runoff, peak flow, maximum pipe flow and model performance, as measured using the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency metric. By using the Thiessen polygon approach for sub-catchment delineations, we substantially simplified the parameterization of the areas and hydraulic parameters. Despite this simplification, our approach provided good agreement with monitored pipe flow (Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency: 0.41 – 0.85). Total runoff and peak flow were very sensitive to the model discretization. The size of the polygons (modeled subcatchment areas) and imperviousness had the most influence on both outputs. The imperviousness, infiltration and Manning’s roughness (in the pervious area) contributed strongly to the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (70%), as did pipe geometric parameters (92%). Parameter rank sets were compared by using kappa statistics between any two model elements to identify generalities. Within our relatively large (9.7 km^2) sewershed, optimizing parameters for the highly impervious (&gt;50%) areas and larger pipes lower in the network contributed most to improving Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency. The geometric parameters influence the water quantity distribution and flow conveyance, while imperviousness determines the subcatchment subdivision and influences surface water generation. Application of the Thiessen polygon approach can simplify the construction of large-scale urban storm water models, but the model is sensitive to the sewer network configuration and care must be taken in parameterizing areas (polygons) with heterogenous land uses.
