English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

A diagnostic modeling scheme based on a procedural network contains all the necessary subskills for the global skill, as well as all the possible buggy variants(or bugs) of each subskill. It can replace an individual subskill in the procedural network by one of its bugs, and thus attempt to reproduce a student's incorrect behavior. If such a faulted network does obtain the same answers as the student on a sufficient set of problems, the bugs that have replaced their correct siblings in the network are then posited as being those possessed by the student. Such an instantiation of the subprocedure calls, which actually models the student in a deterministic fashion, is considered a deep-structure model : it explains the student's incorrect behavior in terms of a set of exact internalized errors, rather than of, say, a probabilistic estimate of correct and incorrect answers such as is typical of stochastic models.

CONT

Babies younger than [six] months old are more likely to develop certain infectious diseases than older children are. Cocooning is a way to protect babies from catching diseases from the people around them—people like their parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, child-care providers, babysitters, and healthcare providers. Once these people are vaccinated, they are less likely to spread these contagious diseases to the baby. They surround the baby with a cocoon of protection against disease until he or she is old enough to get all the doses of vaccine needed to be fully protected.

Economic family refers to a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. Foster children are included.

OBS

By definition, all persons who are members of a census family are also members of an economic family. Examples of the broader concept of economic family include the following : two co-resident census families who are related to one another are considered one economic family; co-resident siblings who are not members of a census family are considered as one economic family; and, nieces or nephews living with aunts or uncles are considered one economic family.

OBS

Par définition, toutes les personnes qui sont membres d'une famille de recensement sont également membres d'une famille économique. Voici des exemples du vaste concept de famille économique : deux familles de recensement habitant ensemble qui sont apparentées sont considérées comme une famille économique; les frères et sœurs habitant ensemble qui ne sont pas membres d'une famille de recensement sont considérés comme une famille économique; et les nièces ou les neveux habitant avec leur tante ou leur oncle sont considérées comme une famille économique.

A form of learning observed mainly in nidifugous birds such as the anatids and rails, as well as some nidicolous species, and resulting in the establishment of family bonds. Normally established with parents during a brief period after hatching, but can also be with siblings, humans, and even objects, colours, and sounds.

DEF

The imposition of a stable behaviour pattern in social species by exposure, during a particular period in early development, to one of a restricted set of stimuli whereby the broad supra-individual characteristics of the species come to be recognized as a "species-pattern" and subsequently used as releasers.

Type d'apprentissage principalement observé chez les oiseaux nidifuges tels les Anatidés et les râles, mais aussi chez certaines espèces nidicoles et menant à l'établissement de liens familiaux. Normalement établis avec les parents dans un court laps de temps après la naissance, ces liens peuvent aussi l'être avec les frères, les sœurs ainsi que l'homme et même avec des objets, des couleurs et des sons.

CONT

LORENZ (1935) a décrit le phénomène de l'empreinte et en définit divers critères qui différencient ce processus d'apprentissage de l'apprentissage associatif conventionnel. Hess (1973) a continué à préciser ces différences. [...] Ce qui est appris par empreinte est non seulement retenu, mais l'objet de l'empreinte est toujours préféré durant tout le reste de la vie de l'animal. L'empreinte est donc «irréversible». Durant la période d'empreinte, l'animal n'apprend que les caractéristiques supra-individuelles distinctives de l'espèce.

Canadian Origin Stories-The Birth of Good and Evil. The story of Sky Woman's descent to earth continues with the birth of Sky Woman's daughter. Sky Woman's daughter gives birth to twin sons. Even prior to their birth, these two sons are in conflict. The good twin is born in the natural way, while his evil brother, jealous of his sibling's being born first, pushes himself out his mother's side. The birth of the twins marks the beginning of the battle of good and evil on earth. The brothers grow quickly and begin to fill the world with their creations. One creates all that is good and useful to humans, while the other is destructive, and creates all that is bad. Eventually the good twin defeats his evil brother, and banishes him to a pit under the earth. From this pit the evil twin sends emissaries that continue to bring evil into the world.

Le bon frère est venu au monde par la voie naturelle, tandis que le mauvais, jaloux de son jumeau parce qu'il était né le premier, a vu le jour en sortant par le côté de sa mère. La naissance des jumeaux marque le début de la lutte entre le bien et le mal sur la terre. Les deux frères grandissent rapidement et commencent à remplir le monde de leurs créations. L'un crée tout ce qui est bon et utile aux humains tandis que l'autre s'emploie à détruire l'œuvre de son frère et à créer tout ce qui est mauvais. Les jumeaux finissent par se livrer bataille; finalement, le bien l'emporte sur le mal. Le mauvais frère est chassé, confiné à rester dans les profondeurs de la terre, d'où il envoie des émissaires qui continuent à faire le mal.

A form of inverse induction while making inferences from incomplete knowledge. It assumes a relatively even distribution of information access the database.

In the structure of SHCOLAR's semantic network(Carbonell 1970) there are already facilities to support the lack-of-knowledge strategy. The concept hierarchy can be used to collect objects similar to the original one : they must be its siblings with respect to a common superordinate. The depth of knowledge can be measured by the numerical relevance tags associated with information. For example, if oil is not on the list of Uruguay's products, this does not necessarily imply that Uruguay does not produce oil at all since the database may be incomplete. Furthermore, there is no list of goods that a country does not produce. But, if oil is mentioned for another country say Venezuela-with a relevance-tag value at which something else is known for Uruguay, this is an induction that oil is not produced in Uruguay.

  • Animal Breeding

CONT

Close Inbreeding. The closest possible inbreeding is to mate a parent and its offspring together(mother and son, or father and daughter). This way the mated animals share half of their genetic make-up as offspring inherit half of their genes from each parent. Almost as close a form of inbreeding is to breed siblings together, as they will have a similar, but not identical, genetic make-up. Close inbreeding is used to fix desired qualities in the strain; for example, new colors or coat varieties, desired type or size. Although close inbreeding is an easy way to get uniform siblings with the desired qualities, it is also a way to fix unwanted qualities-for example lowered fertility and hereditary diseases.

A Novel Mutation in the Sex Determining Region on Y(SRY) Gene as an Etiology of Familial Swyer Syndrome. Swyer Syndrome(SWY) is a failure of testicular differentiation that results in 46, XY sex reversed females. Unlike sporadic SWY, familial cases of SWY appear to be transmitted through 46, XX carrier females and maybe due to X-linked or autosomal genes downstream from SRY in the sexual differentiation cascade. Carriers of a mutation in SRY would be expected to be affected with SWY and be sterile. This report describes two siblings with SWY who have been previously found to have a normal SRY gene with polymerase chain reaction(PCR)

Autosomal recessive inheritance is recognized by the following criteria : usually only siblings are affected, not their parents or offspring. The recurrence risk(of the defect occurring in a sibling of an affected child of unaffected parents) is 25 percent, with males and females equally likely to have and to transmit the trait. Parental consanguinity increases the likelihood of the appearance of an autosomal recessive trait.

Les syndromes d'instabilité (ou de cassures chromosomiques) sont définis par l'existence de cassures chromosomiques non systématisées dans les mitoses des sujets qui en sont atteints. Ces syndromes sont en général transmis héréditairement et sont associés à une augmentation de fréquence des affections malignes dans l'évolution. Parmi ces syndromes, les plus fréquents qui intéressent l'hématologiste sont l'anémie de Fanconi, le syndrome de Bloom et l'ataxie-télangiectasie, tous trois transmis selon le mode récessif autosomique. On leur rattache d'autres maladies ou syndromes comme l'agranulocytose de Kostmann et l'anémie par déficit en glutathion-réductase.

A diagnostic modeling scheme based on a procedural network contains all the necessary subskills for the global skill, as well as all the possible buggy variants(or bugs) of each subskill. It can replace an individual subskill in the procedural network by one of its bugs, and thus attempt to reproduce a student's incorrect behavior. If such a faulted network does obtain the same answers as the student on a sufficient set of problems, the bugs that have replaced their correct siblings in the network are then posited as being those possessed by the student. Such an instantiation of the subprocedure calls, which actually models the student in a deterministic fashion, is considered a deep-structure model
