This paper presents the objective, design, implementation, execution, and evaluation, of a new learning model focusing on the capability to understand and solve new problems and to answer new questions. This model has inherited ideas from Problem Based Learning, Project Organized Curricula, Double-Loop Learning, Reflection-in-Action, Socratic Leadership, Team Learning, and others. The core comp...

The superior capability of cognitive experts largely depends on quick automatic processes. To reveal their neural bases, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study brain activity of professional and amateur players in a board game named shogi. We found two activations specific to professionals: one in the precuneus of the parietal lobe during perception of board patterns, and the ot...

Facilitating factors Challenging factors A “burning platform” following two Fear of reprisal very tragic adverse events Strong leadership support Strong program and professional autonomy Good quality improvement culture Inconsistent follow-up of ideas and infrastructure and initiatives Well established morbidity and Fragmented risk-reporting mortality review processes systems Clinical informati...

Traditional application integration technologies are performed in a rigid and slow process that usually takes a long time to build and deploy, requiring professional developers and domain experts. They are server-centric and thus do not fully utilize the computing power and storage capability of client systems. Cloud computing is a new infrastructure deployment environment that delivers on the ...

In this paper, we demonstrate the use of state-of-the-art speech technology to transform speech from a source speaker to mimic a particular target speaker with the intention of providng personalized voices to users of Speech Generating Devices (SGDs). This speaker mimicry (SM) capability allows us to use highquality acoustic inventories from professional speakers and transform them to a differe...

abstract. in the case of process capability index several methods are identified. in this paper ,a new process capability index using fuzzy number and fuzzy probability concept, in order to remove the weakness of other famous method is suggested. after introduction of fuzzy index in univariate case, fuzzy multivariate process capability index is investigated. finally, this new method is compare...

In the drive for the consolidation of professional authority, physicians in the nineteenth century sought to exert control over all associated occupations, and weaken the influence of competitors. Many historians have chronicled this process, as doctors and their associations sought to proscribe or eliminate competitors such as homeopaths, eclectics, chiropractors and Thomsonians. 1 Others have...

In fact, electronic-commerce has created a massive revolution in Business style and global trading. Objectives. The goal of this study was identifying of Effective Factors on Development of the Electronic Marketing Capa...

multivariate process capability indices (mpci) show how well a manufacturing process can meet specifica-tion limits when quality characteristics enclose a relative correlation. process capability is an important and commonly used metric for assessing and improving the quality of a production process. when quality charac-teristics of a product are correlated then an attractive comes close to mpc...

The Capability Maturity ModelSM for Software developed by the Software Engineering Institute has had a major influence on software process and quality improvement around the world. Although the CMM has been widely adopted, there remain many misunderstandings about how to use it effectively for businessdriven software process improvement, particularly for small organizations and small projects. ...
