Computer simulation of polymer chain is carried out by Monte Carlo method in this paper. The properties of polymer chain are simulated by self avoiding walk and bond fluctuation model. The parallel computing model is established to solve the physical problems of the polymer chains. We analyze the algorithms for polymer chains to parallel computing at high performance computing center. Gustafson...

Fuzzy modelling has interpretability of the obtained models as a fundamental goal. In this paper a control-oriented local-model fuzzy clustering algorithm will try that local models approximate the linearized plant model on their validity zones. A family of clustering algorithms is presented so that it incorporates some desirable characteristics regarding convexity and smoothness of the final i...

This paper examines research on a family of computer-based tools, CASCADE (Computer ASsisted Curriculum Analysis, Design and Evaluation), designed to assist in the complex task of curriculum development. It begins with discussion of curriculum developers and their activities, followed by examination of how the computer can offer support for their tasks. The main elements of four related systems...

PREMENSTRUAL migraine and closed-angle glaucoma have many points of similarity: thus both may be provoked by the water-drinking test; all are more severe in the early morning; contributory factors precipitating attacks include emotional stress and fatigue; and in both there may be other systemic disturbances such as nausea, lethargy, and vertigo. The excitable temperament of patients with close...

recording. On the subject of abscess of the spleen, Kelly and Noble in Gynaecology and Abdominal Surgery say "the formation of abscesses in the spleen in cases of py?3mia is a common occurrence, but such abscesses are usually small, and not recognizable during the life of the patient. Primary abscess iu the spleen is rare. I)ouglas gives a resume of seven cases reported by Kessel Hagen and adds...

To a visually impaired individual the physical world presents many challenges. For a person with impaired sight, wayfinding through a complex environment is fraught with dangers, both actual and imagined. The current generation of mobility aids have the possibility of addressing a broad range of physical issues through technological solutions. The perception of difficulty however, can mean that...

There is a need for more precise information on mental illness among adolescents. To date, studies of the incidence or prevalence of psychiatric morbidity in a community (Kessel, 1960; Srole et al., 1962 ; Taylor and Chave, 1964; Hare and Shaw, 1965) have failed to yield adequate information on its adolescents through not having examined the patterns of morbidity over the teenage years. The com...
