public health management is a pillar of public health practice. only through effective management can research, theory, and scientific innovation be translated into successful public health action. with this in mind, the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) has developed an innovative program called improving public health management for action (impact) which aims to address th...

Technology has eroded the learning strategy from beneath the apple tree to learn any where at any time. The learners do not have to travel for acquiring knowledge through e-learning. Learning is the ability of the learner to enhance his character and behavior. One of the most important roles of the information and communication technology is to provide e-learning. E-learning fulfils the thirst ...

nowadays project management is a key component in introductory operations management. the educators and the researchers in these areas advocate representing a project as a network and applying the solution approaches for network models to them to assist project managers to monitor their completion. in this paper, we evaluated project’s completion time utilizing the q-learning algorithm. so the ...

Thanks to extension of IT in educational activities, the difficulties based on time and space are disappearing and the management and the execution of these activities can be implemented more effectively and beneficially. Even though there are significant developments about e-learning both in academic and professional platforms, there are some main questions that must be considered like: How ca...

Today’s world of information technology has two of the most growing fields, Knowledge Management and e-Learning. This paper will explore the relationship between e-Learning and Knowledge Management in more details. We will present a discussion to achieve better understanding of this relationship, similarities and differences. Furthermore, we will investigate and underlining the necessity of fil...

This paper describes the UNIBA participation in the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) core task 2013. We exploited three different systems for computing the similarity between two texts. A system is used as baseline, which represents the best model emerged from our previous participation in STS 2012. Such system is based on a distributional model of semantics capable of taking into account also...

Working memory (WM) capacity is critically important for the success in school and complex cognitive activities across the lifespan. Training WM skills has shown to lead to improvements in a variety of important cognitive tasks. One’s performance on an adaptive and challenging longitudinal WM intervention may serve as an assay of cognitive plasticity. With over 400 participants having completed...

We study learning in Minority Games (MG) with multiple resources. The MG is a repeated conflicting interest game involving a large number of agents. So far, the learning mechanisms studied were rather naive and involved only exploitation of the best strategy at the expense of exploring new strategies. Instead, we use a reinforcement learning method called Q-learning and show how it improves the...
