The document summarizes a study on the effects of presentation and processing on explicit memory in older adults. The study tested 48 older adults and found higher recall for words presented for 2 seconds compared to 0.04 seconds. It also found higher recall for words in thematic categories compared to non-thematic categories. Most importantly, it found a significant interaction between presentation time and relatedness, such that supraliminal presentation of thematically related words led to the highest recall. The study provides insights into how deeply processed, meaningful content can enhance memory in older adults through engagement of conscious processes and associations in neural networks.
This document summarizes recent developments that have improved the investment climate in Russia for foreign investors. It discusses the establishment of a Foreign Investment Advisory Council (FIAC) and the appointment of an Investment Ombudsman at the deputy prime minister level to address investor complaints. While elections in late 2011 and early 2012 may cause some political uncertainty, reforms over the past year like FIAC and the ombudsman have created more opportunities for international companies to engage with the Russian government. The document recommends that foreign investors continue using diplomacy and contacts with federal and regional officials to strengthen their positions in Russia. Overall, there are promising signs that the regulatory environment for foreign investment may be reformed if modernization efforts continue post-election.
This thesis examined the effect of thematically related and supraliminal presentation conditions on explicit memory test performance in older adults. Forty-eight individuals aged 55 and older were sampled from two senior centers and shown a series of 40 words on a computer monitor under different presentation conditions. They then took a written exam to test their recall of the words. The results found main effects for relatedness and presentation on the number of words correctly recalled, with more words recalled in thematically related and supraliminal conditions. There was also an interaction where supraliminal presentation of thematically related words led to the highest recall. For falsely recalled words, only presentation had a main effect, with more errors in supraliminal conditions.

In 2010, Coworking Spain was started to address problems and solutions. From 2011-2012, interest grew from governments, companies, press, and universities as the coworking movement expanded. In May 2012, the First National Coworking Spain Conference was held. From May-October 2012, a Coworking Spain survey was conducted and the Coworking National Association was consulting and providing workshops while also conducting marketing actions for companies and expanding coworking brands. After Coworking Europe Paris, new coworking brands opened, national directories linked, a new platform included coworkers, and CwSC 2013 Barcelona was started.

The document summarizes key findings from interviews with Russian pharmaceutical producers, experts, and officials about challenges in implementing Russia's "Pharma 2020 Strategy". The strategy aims to transition Russia's pharmaceutical industry to an innovation model by 2020, but experts expressed skepticism about whether the strategy's methods can attract needed investment. While some targets like 50-60% localized production seem unrealistic, over 50% of experts still support the strategy for ensuring Russia's "biological security". However, the funds allocated are unlikely to cover costs, and obstacles to exports may limit returns on investment in domestic production. Effective use of allocated funds will be important for the strategy's success.

Natalia Zubarevich - Russian regions - September 2014Pavel Melnikov
Наталья Зубаревич, признанный эксперт в регионалистике дает развернутую картину по текущей ситуации в российских регионах по следующим срезам: человеческий капитал, экономика, социальное развитие, гос.политика (бюджеты).
Подробно объясняя как Россия депопулировала с 2002 по 2010 годы;
давая прогноз половозрастной структуры: наблюдается рост численности населения в пенсионных возрастах, а численность молодежи будет меньше на треть к 2020 году;
приводя тренд миграции в крупные региональные центры, где живется лучше;
говоря о сверхконцентрации экономики в Московской агломерации (ВРП составляет 23% от всех субъектов РФ, для сравнения у Питера - 4%);
другие тренды - стагнация промышленности с 2013 года, спад инвестиций; неравномерность распределения инвестиций по фед округам и регионам;
упоминая позитивный тренд: уровень безработицы в регионах – минимальный за постсоветский период,а проблемы локализуются в индустриальных городах;
говоря о том, что социальный контракт: "Политическая стабильность в обмен на рост доходов" - уже не действует, а рост доходов населения прекратился;
приводя данные о том, что доходы 40% населения РФ сейчас ниже, чем в советский период
указывая на то, что "кормильцами" федерального бюджета являются НДПИ и НДС;
разочаровывая тем, что ресурсов для налоговой децентрализации немного, поскольку большая часть налогов, переданных федеральному центру возвращается назад в регионы;
при этом развитым и среднеразвитым регионам помогают через трансферты меньше, помощь слабым стабильна;
рассказывая, что бюджеты регионов перегружены социальными обязательствами. Доля социальных расходов - 61% в 2013 г. (65% в
Reading Seminar (140515) Spectral Learning of L-PCFGsKeisuke OTAKI
1. The document presents a spectral learning method for latent-variable PCFGs (L-PCFGs) that uses tensor factorization.
2. It defines observable representations based on features of tree structures that can be computed from training data alone, without hidden variables.
3. The tensor parameter C of the L-PCFG can be recovered from the observable representations, allowing for spectral learning of the L-PCFG from a treebank via tensor methods.
Tensor Decomposition and its ApplicationsKeisuke OTAKI
This document discusses tensor factorizations and decompositions and their applications in data mining. It introduces tensors as multi-dimensional arrays and covers 2nd order tensors (matrices) and 3rd order tensors. It describes how tensor decompositions like the Tucker model and CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) model can be used to decompose tensors into core elements to interpret data. It also discusses singular value decomposition (SVD) as a way to decompose matrices and reduce dimensions while approximating the original matrix.
1. The document describes a general boosting procedure for combining weak learners to create a strong learner.
2. It involves initializing the model, learning weak learners, calculating error rates, adjusting the distribution of the training data, and combining weak learners.
3. It also describes the AdaBoost algorithm which implements this general boosting procedure and learns weak learners in sequence while focusing more on examples that previous learners got wrong.
The document discusses wavelet transforms and related concepts like mother wavelets, scaling functions, and two-scale relationships. It covers definitions of wavelet transforms and wavelets, properties of wavelets like orthogonality, and applications of wavelet transforms such as signal analysis and image compression. Sections 2.1 through 2.11 each explore an aspect of wavelet transforms and wavelets.
The document discusses linear regression and regularization. It introduces linear regression models using basis functions and describes optimization methods like gradient descent. It then covers regularization, discussing how adding constraints like lasso and ridge regression can improve generalization by reducing overfitting. The document presents evidence selection methods like Bayesian model averaging to integrate over models. Finally, it describes applying empirical Bayes methods to estimate hyperparameters like α and β by maximizing the marginal likelihood.
The document discusses greedy algorithms. It defines greedy algorithms as choosing the locally optimal choice at each step in the hope of finding a global optimum. The document outlines the steps of greedy algorithms as having optimal substructure, making greedy choices at each step, and being iterative or recursive. It provides examples of activity selection problems and the 0-1 knapsack problem to illustrate greedy algorithms.
