This paper considers the problem of providing an Object-Oriented (OO) system with reasoning and program synthesis abilities. We consider an object-oriented knowledge system in which methods are synthesized from speciications using an intuitionis-tic propositional calculus and a Proof-As-Program methodology. In order to support reasoning about some dynamic aspects of the OO system, we propose to...

Described herein is an effective and practical modular flow design for the meta-selective C-H arylation of anilines. The design consists of four continuous-flow modules (i.e., diaryliodonium salt synthesis, meta-selective C-H arylation, inline copper extraction, and aniline deprotection) which can be operated either individually or consecutively to provide direct access to meta-arylated aniline...

Meta-analysis as a method holds great promise for allowing fields of research to accomplish synthesis and integration of findings. This goal must be compared to experimental research, which is inherently reductionistic in its approach. Because of this divergence in methods and implicit goals, meta-analysts are often faced with a need to reconceptualize original research in order to fit it into ...

This paper describes a class of decision procedures that we have found useful for efficient, domainspecific deductive synthesis. These procedures are called closure-based ground literal satisfiability procedures. We argue that this is a large and interesting class of procedures and show how to interface these procedures to a theorem prover for efficient deductive synthesis. Finally, we describe...

Our aim in this paper is to apply principles from modern meta-analysis to identify differences and commonalities in patterns of explanatory variables for varying price elasticities for public transport in different countries. In addition to the synthesis and analysis of empirical data on these elasticity values with a view to selection of the main determinants of significant cross-national diff...

background: to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on controlled treatment trials of meta-cognitive therapy for anxiety disorders. materials and methods: studies were included if they employed controlled methodology and treated people above 18 years with anxiety disorders. case studies (with less than 4 cases) and single case designed studies were excluded. a comprehensive literature ...

Meta-analysis is a research method to synthesise previously obtained research results. It is best seen as a statistical approach towards reviewing and summarising the literature. This paper aims to introduce and critically review the research method of meta-analysis and to illustrate its potential use in applied economic policy analysis. Special attention will be paid to the possibilities for v...

Logistics systems are inexplicably linked to trade and investment, their significance in describing a country’s competitiveness an increasingly globalized world is growing. Improved logistics, conjunction by way of more economic liberalization climate, increased volume size trade, as well reach distribution production activities. With careful reviews, the study discussed meta-synthesis lo...

BACKGROUND Methods for reviewing and synthesising findings from quantitative research studies in health care are well established. Although there is recognition of the need for qualitative research to be brought into the evidence base, there is no consensus about how this should be done and the methods for synthesising qualitative research are at a relatively early stage of development. OBJEC...

Although there is consensus among scholars that red tape has negative consequences, a lack of synthesis on these effects. We conduct meta-analysis and meta-regression public administration evidence ask: What the impact organizational performance employee outcomes, which conditions moderate this impact? Our finds significant, negative, small-to-medium both outcomes. Meta-regression shows imposed...
