Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:
- Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI,
, 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

A critical role for the right fronto-insular cortex in switching between central-executive and default-mode networks.
- Proc Natl Acad Sci USA
, 2008
"... Cognitively demanding tasks that evoke activation in the brain's central-executive network (CEN) have been consistently shown to evoke decreased activation (deactivation) in the default-mode network (DMN). The neural mechanisms underlying this switch between activation and deactivation of larg ..."

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 ..."

Because fund sequence number appears to have little effect on fund performance in our dataset, and because it is frequently unavailable in the Venture Economics database, we replace it with a dummy equaling one for first-time funds.

Most trials used the body mass index (BMI ϭ Kg/M 2 ) as the primary proxy measure of body fat, but a few studies, particularly older ones, used skinfold thickness. It is important to note that BMI is not a direct measure
