Aim: the present study aimed to design and validate decentering schemes for decision making about curriculum based on Schwab’s practical theory and features of the educational system in Iran. Method: in the first step, qualitative methods of "Speculative Essay", "Evaluative Inquiry: Situational Assessment", and "Integrative Inquiry: The Research Synthesis" were employed to explain decentering ...

This paper considers the problem of Bayesian transfer learning-based knowledge fusion between linear state–space processes driven by uniform state and observation noise processes. The target task conditions on probabilistic predictor(s) supplied source filtering task(s) to improve its own estimate. A joint model source(s) is not required elicited. resulting decision-making for choosing optimal ...

Optimizing the refrigerant circuitry for a finned-tube evaporator is a daunting task for traditional exhaustive search techniques due to the extremely large number of circuitry possibilities. For this reason, more intelligent search techniques are needed. This paper presents and evaluates a novel optimization system, called ISHED1 (Intelligent System for Heat Exchanger Design). This system uses...

Pruned tree-structured scalar quantizers are a form of non-uniform scalar quantizer that are named due to being designed via pruning a tree-structured scalar quantizer [1]. If designed via pruning a uniform tree-structured scalar quantizer, such a quantizer may be mapped to a piecewise linear compandor. An algorithm has been developed for mapping a piecewise linear compandor onto a a tree-struc...
