A social-cognitive approach to motivation and personality
- Psychological Review
, 1988
"... Past work has documented and described major patterns of adaptive and maladaptive behavior: the mastery-oriented and the helpless patterns. In this article, we present a research-based model that accounts for these patterns in terms of underlying psychological processes. The model specifies how indi ..."

-ine the generality of the model and use it to illuminate phenomena in a wide variety of domains. Finally, we place the model in its broadest context and examine its implications for our understand-ing of motivational and personality processes. The task for investigators of motivation and personality is to identify
The SGI Origin: A ccNUMA highly scalable server
- In Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA’97
, 1997
"... The SGI Origin 2000 is a cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) multiprocessor designed and manufactured by Silicon Graphics, Inc. The Origin system was designed from the ground up as a multiprocessor capable of scaling to both small and large processor counts without any bandwidth, laten ..."

, latency, or cost cliffs.The Origin system consists of up to 512 nodes interconnected by a scalable Craylink network. Each node consists of one or two RlOOOO processors, up to 4 GB of coherent memory, and a connection to a portion of the X I0 10 subsystem. This paper discusses the motivation for building
USER ACCEPTANCE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: TOWARD A UNIFIED VIEW
, 2003
"... Information technology (IT) acceptance research has yielded many competing models, each with different sets of acceptance determinants. In this paper, we (1) review user acceptance literature and discuss eight prominent models, (2) empirically compare the eight models and their extensions, (3) formu ..."

The eight models reviewed are the theory of reasoned action, the technology acceptance model, the motivational model, the theory of planned behavior, a model combining the technology
When choice is demotivating: can one desire too much of a good thing
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
, 2000
"... Current psychological theory and research affirm the positive affective and motivational consequences of having personal choice. These findings have led to the popular notion that the more choice, the better--that the human ability omanage, and the human desire for, choice isunlimited. Findings from ..."

Perceived locus of causality and internalization: Examining reasons for acting in two domains.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1989
"... Theories of internalization typically suggest that self-perceptions of the "causes" of(i.e., reasons for) behavior are differentiated along a continuum of autonomy that contains identifiable gradations. A model of perceived locus of causality (PLOC) is developed, using children's sel ..."

Cooperative mobile robotics: Antecedents and directions
, 1995
"... There has been increased research interest in systems composed of multiple autonomous mobile robots exhibiting collective behavior. Groups of mobile robots are constructed, with an aim to studying such issues as group architecture, resource conflict, origin of cooperation, learning, and geometric pr ..."

Instantons on ALE spaces, quiver varieties, and Kac-Moody algebras

Improving the Fisher kernel for large-scale image classification.
- In ECCV,
, 2010
"... Abstract. The Fisher kernel (FK) is a generic framework which combines the benefits of generative and discriminative approaches. In the context of image classification the FK was shown to extend the popular bag-of-visual-words (BOV) by going beyond count statistics. However, in practice, this enric ..."

, this enriched representation has not yet shown its superiority over the BOV. In the first part we show that with several well-motivated modifications over the original framework we can boost the accuracy of the FK. On PASCAL VOC 2007 we increase the Average Precision (AP) from 47.9% to 58.3%. Similarly, we
1. The Original Motivation behind Discourse Representa- tion Theory

Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) was originally designed as a principled method to cope with two related problems: The fact that inter-sentential and intra-sentential pronouns seem to call for two entirely different types of explanation, and a well-known problem in connection with the interpret ..."

Posterior Predictive Assessment of Model Fitness Via Realized Discrepancies
- Statistica Sinica

"... Abstract: This paper considers Bayesian counterparts of the classical tests for goodness of fit and their use in judging the fit of a single Bayesian model to the observed data. We focus on posterior predictive assessment, in a framework that also includes conditioning on auxiliary statistics. The B ..."

The computation required for the realized discrepancy assessment is a straightforward byproduct of the posterior simulation used for the original Bayesian analysis. We illustrate
