Analysis of Soft Friend or Foe Reinforcement Learning Algorithm in Multiagent Environment
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)This paper evaluates a new off policy multiagent reinforcement learning algorithm called Soft Friend or Foe. The new algorithm is the result of modifying the Friend or Foe [1] algorithm by using the correlation in returns ... -
Effect of an organic pesticide on mortality and learning in Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in Brasil
(Science Publications, 2006)Seven experiments were conducted. First, the influence of the consumption of different concentrations of the organic pesticide Bioganic® on mortality was assessed at 11 different time intervals in Africanized honey bees ... -
Effect of classroom management strategies on math fluency growth rate
(2014-05)A classroom management intervention consisting of providing effective commands and behavior-specific praise statements was implemented in four first-grade general education classrooms. The effects of this intervention on ... -
Examination of academic learning outcomes in a non-formal learning environment: A study of Oklahoma FFA Alumni Leadership Camp
(2012-05)Scope and Method of Study: This quasi-experimental study included FFA members from 149 local Oklahoma FFA chapters who attended camp during summer of 2011. These subjects had completed at least the eighth grade, but had ... -
Graphic Presentation: An Empirical Examination of the Graphic Novel Approach to Communicate Business Concepts
(Business Communication Quarterly, 2013-09-01)Graphic novels have been increasingly incorporated into business communication forums. Despite potential benefits, little research has examined the merits of the graphic novel approach. In response, we engage in a two-study ... -
Individual variation and learning in crickets
(2021-12)Learning can play a key role in an individual's fitness. Learning also often varies among different individuals of the same species, with some individuals being faster learners in different situations such as being better ... -
Learning and physiological stress: Outcomes on expression of related genes in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
(2021-05)Stress is defined as any deviation form an organism's baseline physiological levels. As such, introduction of new stimuli and information, such as in learning, can be operationally defined stressors. A large body of research ... -
Learning in plants: Lessons from Mimosa pudica
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-31)This article provides an overview of the early Mimosa pudica literature; much of which is in journals not easily accessible to the reader. In contrast to the contemporary plant learning literature which is conducted primarily ... -
Memory Storage in a Variable Threshold Artificial Neural Network
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)This thesis is concerned with the problem of memory storage in a feedback neural network. A new learning approach has been developed that assigns variable thresholds to the neurons through an iterative process. This approach ... -
Proboscis conditioning experiments with honeybees, Apis mellifera caucasica, with butyric acid and DEET mixture as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Three experiments are described investigating whether olfactory repellents DEET and butyric acid can support the classical conditioning of proboscis extension in the honeybee, Apis mellifera caucasica (Hymenoptera: Apidae). ... -
Ride like a girl: A narrative exploration of women in the rodeo
