This paper explores the combination of AOP and refactoring, two techniques that deals with the problems of permanent evolution of software. AOP has evolved to deal with a large legacy of object-oriented (OO) code. Most of the work has been done in the area of refactoring the object oriented code but little with the procedural code and that too with aspect orientation. But the AO concept when ap...

It is well known that certain cognitive abilities decline with age. The ability to form certain new declarative memories, particularly memories for facts and events, has been widely shown to decline with advancing age. In contrast, the effects of aging on the ability to form new procedural memories such as skills are less well known, though it appears that older adults are able to acquire some ...

BACKGROUND Learner satisfaction assessment is critical in the design and improvement of training programs. However, little is known about what influences satisfaction and whether trainee specialty is correlated. A national comparison of satisfaction among internal medicine subspecialty fellows in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a unique opportunity to examine educational factor...

Memory can be divided into two categories: memory of events or facts, and memory for skills and rules. These are often called declarative memory and procedural memory (Squire, 1986; Tulving, 1985), or they are often characterized as ‘‘what’’ memory and ‘‘how’’ memory. An accumulation of declarative memories will comprise knowledge; an accumulation of procedural memories will comprise intelligen...

BACKGROUND Medical knowledge encompasses both conceptual (facts or "what" information) and procedural knowledge ("how" and "why" information). Conceptual knowledge is known to be an essential prerequisite for clinical problem solving. Primarily, medical students learn from textbooks and often struggle with the process of applying their conceptual knowledge to clinical problems. Recent studies a...

Some studies, so far limited in number, suggest the existence of procedural metacognition in young children, that is, the practical capacity to monitor and control one's own cognitive activity in a given task. The link between procedural metacognition and false belief understanding is currently under theoretical discussion. If data with primates seem to indicate that procedural metacognition an...

Procedural sedation and analgesia is one of the common clinical practices in the emergency department. The level of sedation must be adjusted in such a way that it allows patient to tolerate unpleasant procedures while maintaining normal physiologic reflexes and consciousness and able to understand and respond to verbal or light tactile stimulus. Although drugs used for procedural sedation has ...

By combining generative modelling with the power of grammatical model generation beautiful results can be obtained in the world of procedural modelling. This report covers a comparison between the two techniques, as well as a description of how they work and how they can be used, both separately and in combination. It has been claimed that procedural modelling may increase the start up times fo...
