Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

A meta-analytic review of obesity prevention programs for children and adolescents: The skinny on interventions that work.
- Psychological Bulletin,
, 2006
"... This meta-analytic review summarizes obesity prevention programs and their effects and investigates participant, intervention, delivery, and design features associated with larger effects. A literature search identified 64 prevention programs seeking to produce weight gain prevention effects, of wh ..."

Principled Sampling for Anomaly Detection
"... Abstract—Anomaly detection plays an important role in pro-tecting computer systems from unforeseen attack by automati-cally recognizing and filter atypical inputs. However, it can be difficult to balance the sensitivity of a detector – an aggressive system can filter too many benign inputs while a c ..."

samples from the distribution, Fortuna computes an estimated false positive rate and a probabilistic bound on the estimate’s accuracy. By drawing test samples from a well defined distribution that correlates well with data seen in practice, Fortuna improves on ad hoc methods for estimating false positive
Down-Sampling for Better Transform Compression
- IEEE Trans. Image Processing
, 2001
"... The most popular lossy image compression method used on the Internet is the JPEG standard. JPEG's good compression performance and low computational and memory complexity make it an attractive method for natural image compression. Nevertheless, as we go to low bit rates that imply lower quality ..."

resolution, then using JPEG at the lower resolution, and subsequently interpolating the result to the original resolution can improve the overall PSNR performance of the compression process. We give an analytical model and a numerical analysis of the down--sampling, compression and up--sampling process
The Effectiveness of Tai Chi Exercise in Improving Aerobic Capacity
"... Purpose: Meta-analysis involves the integration of several studies with small sample sizes, enabling the investigator to summarize research results into useful clinical information. Tai Chi exercise has recently gained the attention of Western researchers as a potential form of aerobic exercise. A g ..."

ranked the preliminary set of competencies and identified additional desired competencies for youth performing farm-related tasks. A sample of high school agricultural educators and youth further reviewed the competencies confirming their significance. The findings showed a high level of consistency
Network Independent Available Bandwidth Sampling and Measurement
- In Proceedings 2 nd International Workshop on QoS in multiservice IP Networks
, 2003
"... Abstract. Available bandwidth knowledge is very useful to network protocols. Unfortunately, available bandwidth is also very difficult to measure in packet networks, where methods to guarantee and keep track of the bandwidth (eg, weighted fair queuing scheduling) do not work well, for example the In ..."

In standard techniques the available bandwidth is sampled by using a “bytes divided by dispersion ” (or “bytes over time”, BoT) calculation

Surface reconstruction from multi-resolution sample points
"... Robust surface reconstruction from sample points is a challenging problem, especially for real-world input data. We significantly improve on a recent method by Hornung and Kobbelt [HK06b] by implementing three major extensions. First, we exploit the footprint information inherent to each sample poin ..."
