Toward a Comprehensive Model of eHealth Literacy

A common understanding of the notion “eHealth literacy” is that it concerns the individual ability to use and understand the content of interactive health information technologies. The paper discusses the competencies and knowledge embedded in being an eHealth literate, and suggests a comprehensive, new model, and a new definition, of eHealth literacy.

Toward a Comprehensive Model of Social Dilemmas

A Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Model

The human cochlea is a remarkable device, able to discern extremely small amplitude sound pressure waves, and discriminate between very close frequencies. Simulation of the cochlea is computationally challenging due to its complex geometry, intricate construction and small physical size. We have developed, and are continuing to re ne, a detailed three-dimensional computational model based on an...

Building a sustainable comprehensive Women's Health Program: the Michigan model.

The Women's Health Program at the University of Michigan was established in 1993 and has developed into a successful, federally supported program that links clinical research and education activities across the University. It has focused on human resource capacity building, sustainable financial support and infrastructure, and adaptability to change and opportunities. Widely accepted standards,...

Toward a Comprehensive Computational Model of Emotions and Feelings

We describe a computational framework for emotions and feelings that combines biological, cognitive, and social influences. The framework, Soar-Emote, combines ideas from Damasio and Gratch & Marsella. From Damasio we include physiological influences, ideas about the differences between emotions and feelings, and the direction of causality. From Gratch we include cognitive and social influences...
