New input patterns that imply extrapolations and thus unreliable prediction by an artificial neural network model can be recognized from a significant decrease in the regional-knowledge index.
Reductions in knowledge were found in two studiesw2 w5 and no change in three.w18 w24 w28 In both the studies showing a decrease in knowledge, the intervention for the control group could have increased patients' knowledge, which might have affected the results.
We have observed a decrease in the level of knowledge of the population, as well as healthcare professionals.
Even then, variation in taxonomic effort with regions will affect the relative number of species between taxa, as indicated by the general decrease in the state-of-knowledge index with increased variation in proportions of taxa across regions.
Decaying confidence functions specify how confidence in knowledge should decrease as the knowledge gets older.
A repeated measure ANOVA comparing the longitudinal survey to the post semester survey showed there was a significant decrease in knowledge over the 5 7 months after the course [KEE; F 1, 283) = 28.9, p < 0.001; see Table 5].
Our research findings suggest that despite appreciable decreases in knowledge in the long term, knowledge retention was modest, but stable, attitudes toward injured children remained positive.
However, in 2009, 10% of students did not consider that HPV was sexually transmitted indicating a decrease in knowledge acquisition, especially in the male population, in the second group of students.
Six months after the structured DTTP (t2), a slight decrease in diabetes knowledge in both groups was measured, but compared to baseline knowledge, was still at a significantly higher level (SGS t0 vs. t2: 7.4 ± 2.3 points vs. 8.4 ± 2.3 points, P = 0.011; standard: 6.8 ± 2.8 points vs. 8.3 ± 2.6 points, P = 0.001).
Despite appreciable decreases in knowledge long term, knowledge retention was modest but stable.
