Advances and Applications of Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT), Vol. 1

The Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) of plausible and paradoxical reasoning is a natural extension of the classical Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) but includes fundamental differences with the DST. DSmT allows to formally combine any types of independent sources of information represented in term of belief functions, but is mainly focused on the fusion of uncertain, highly conflicting and imprecise quantitative or qualitative sources of evidence. DSmT is able to solve complex, static or dynamic fusion problems beyond the limits of the DST framework, especially when conflicts between sources become large and when the refinement of the frame of the problem under consideration becomes inaccessible because of vague, relative and imprecise nature of elements of it. DSmT is used in cybernetics, robotics, medicine, military, and other engineering applications where the fusion of sensors\u27 information is required

Strategies and Interventions for Increasing Homework Completion and Accuracy

This four part thesis contains: Analytic review of literature of the work of a number of authors and researchers who discuss strategies and interventions aimed at improving students\u27 homework completion and accuracy rates. Discussion of the specific roles that students, parents, and families play and the contributions of teachers when it comes to homework. It will discuss a variety of ways that teachers can encourage students to complete their homework and do so with accuracy. A discussion of the implications for teachers including the pros and cons of several interventions. The limitations of the review and several recommendations for future research
