Each Emergency Medical Assistance Centre in France (SAMU), includes an emergency call service. It provides an adequate and immediate response to medical problems. The processing of the incoming calls can be seen as a collaborative process involving several stakeholders. The control of such a process is crucial. Indeed, the effectiveness of the response to these incoming calls strongly impacts t...

It is a widely accepted doctrine in epistemology that knowledge has greater value than mere true belief. But although epistemologists regularly pay homage to this doctrine, evidence for it is shaky. Is it based on evidence that ordinary people on the street make evaluative comparisons of knowledge and true belief, and consistently rate the former ahead of the latter? Do they reveal such a prefe...

We know how to integrate a function over a flat region in a plane, but what if the function is defined over a curved surface? To evaluate one of these so-called surface integrals, we rewrite it as a double integral over a region in a coordinate plane beneath the surface (Figure 16.38). Surface integrals are used to compute quantities such as the flow of liquid across a membrane or the upward fo...

تأثیر ژرف والتر اسکات در دوره ای که رمان های تاریخی، مضمون اصلی قلمزنی نسلی از نویسندگان است، آشکارا با ستایش ادیبان چیره دست فرانسوی همچون ویکتورهوگو و بالزاک مهر تأئید می خورد. این تأثیر که مورد تأیید و تمجید کتاب های تاریخ ادبی نیز قرار می گیرد، اساساً مرهون اقدام نویسنده ی اسکاتلندی در تجدید و تحوّل بینش داستانی رمان تاریخی است که خـود با داشتـن پیشینـه ای تاریخـی، شالـوده ی آفرینش ادبی را بر...

he purpose of this work is to introduce and study the concept of minimal deterministic automaton with IF-outputs which realizes the given IF-language. Among two methods for construction of such automaton presented here, one is based on Myhill-Nerode's theory while the other is based on derivatives of the given IF-language. Meanwhile, the categories of deterministic automata with IF-outputs and ...
