This article reviews theoretical research on e-communication behavior, identifying two main types of theories – technological and social. This review provides the rationale for developing a new theory, based on Darwin’s theory of evolution, that is neither technological nor social. Three theoretical principles are developed from evolution theory: media naturalness, innate schema similarity, and...

We review the main results obtained in the theory of schemata in genetic programming (GP), emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses. Then we propose a new, simpler definition of the concept of schema for GP, which is closer to the original concept of schema in genetic algorithms (GAs). Along with a new form of crossover, one-point crossover, and point mutation, this concept of schema has been...

In this paper we first review the main results obtained in the theory of schemata in Genetic Programming (GP) emphasising their strengths and weaknesses. Then we propose a new, simpler definition of the concept of schema for GP which is quite close to the original concept of schema in genetic algorithms (GAs). Along with a new form of crossover, one-point crossover, and point mutation this conc...

To analyze and evaluate textbooks, researchers have either proposed scales and checklists to be filled by teachers and learners or conducted qualitative investigations of the match between SLA theories and textbook activities. This study, however, employs the microstructural approach of schema theory to scrutinize the reading passages of “Mosaic 1 Reading”. To this end, 17 passages of the textb...

This is the fourth in a series of papers extending Martin-Löf’s meaning explanation of dependent type theory to higher-dimensional types. In this installment, we show how to define cubical type systems supporting a general schema of cubical inductive types, inductive types whose constructors may take dimension parameters and may have specified boundaries. Using this schema, we are able to speci...

the purpose of this research was to determine the efficacy of group schema therapy approach for b category personality disorders score adjustment in substance dependent individuals. the present study was performed on individuals under maintenance treatment with methadone in shiraz public centers. sample group included 30 persons who were under treatment. instruments used included: clinical inte...

Then we propose a new, simpler deenition of the concept of schema for GP which is closer to the original concept of schema in genetic algorithms (GAs). Along with a new form of crossover, one-point crossover, and point mutation this concept of schema has been use...

In an information system a key role is played by the underlying data schema. This article starts out from the view that the entire modelling process of an information system’s data schema can be seen as a schema transformation process. A transformation process that starts out with an initial draft conceptual schema and ends with an internal database schema for some implementation platform. This...
