Displaying Mental Powers: The Case of VirtualMente
نویسندگان
چکیده
VirtualMente is a web based scenario for displaying cognitive processes in university graduates. The name VirtualMente was coined combining two words virtual and mente (mind). The name stresses its virtual nature, a web scenario targeted at cognitive competences. It is based on selected parts of the Triarchic Theory of Human Intelligence [1]. It focuses on metacomponents and insight processes. The structure consists of three dimensions: minds in action (problem solving, illustrations, selfassessment and collaborative glossary); minds in communication (horizontal interaction between participants through email, chats and forums) and aids for the mind (suggestions for searching and selecting information and frequently asked questions). It includes materials coming from the local context and culture (songs, icons, words, cartoons) proposed by designers and participants. It promotes a collaborative atmosphere and demands continuous action from the participants. Content validity controls involve face validity and ecological validity. Procedures are content analysis and expert judgement. Available data come from a graduate level course on cognitive processes developed at the University of La Plata, Argentina. A demo version of VirtualMente and some data will be

The upper domatic number of powers of graphs
Let $A$ and $B$ be two disjoint subsets of the vertex set $V$ of a graph $G$. The set $A$ is said to dominate $B$, denoted by $A rightarrow B$, if for every vertex $u in B$ there exists a vertex $v in A$ such that $uv in E(G)$. For any graph $G$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_p}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i rightarrow V_j$ or $V_j rightarrow...
متن کاملPolitical Ideology and Stigmatizing Attitudes Toward Depression: The Swedish Case
Background Stigmatizing attitudes toward persons with mental disorders is a well-established and global phenomenon often leading to discrimination and social exclusion. Although previous research in the United States showed that conservative ideology has been related to stigmatizing attitudes toward mental disorders, there is reason to believe that this mechanism plays a different role in...
متن کاملApplying Genetic Algorithm to EEG Signals for Feature Reduction in Mental Task Classification
Brain-Computer interface systems are a new mode of communication which provides a new path between brain and its surrounding by processing EEG signals measured in different mental states. Therefore, choosing suitable features is demanded for a good BCI communication. In this regard, one of the points to be considered is feature vector dimensionality. We present a method of feature reduction us...

Introduction: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown to play a critical role in tumor cell growth and its overexpression has been observed in many epithelial tumors. In the field of cancer vaccine research, displaying the peptide mimotope on the surface of phage particles has shown promising results. Methods: In this study using m13-PVIII phage display system, two constructs we...
