This paper introduces an approach to construct a set of criteria for evaluating alternative options. Content analysis was used to collect criterion elements. Then the elements were classified and organized yielding to hierarchic structure. The reliability of the constructed criteria was evaluated in an experiment. Finally the criteria were used to evaluate alternative options indecision-making....

Structured writing is a method for developing consistent categories of information that can be “single sourced” or reused for various contexts. Creating distinct structures—such as concepts, procedures, and examples— prepares content for the application of XML markup elements that describe each category. A content management system identifies these structural elements, which facilitates reuse a...

We describe our new mobile media content browser called a MiniDiver. MiniDiving considers media browsing as a personal experience that is viewed, personalized, saved, shared and annotated. When placed on a mobile platform, such as the iPhone, consideration of the particular interface elements lead to new ways to experience media content. The MiniDiver interface elements currently supports multi...

background & aim : researchers in the nursing science study complex constructs for which valid and reliable instruments are needed. when an instrument is created, psychometric testing is required, and the first-step is to study the content validity of the instrument. this article focuses on the process used to assess the content validity. methods & materials : this article examines the definiti...

in the paper, the contents of calcium (ca), magnesium (mg), zinc (zn), copper (cu), iron (fe),manganese (mn), chromium (cr), lead (pb), cadmium (cd), aluminium (al), and nickel (ni) were determinedin the meat of roe deers, wild boars, and hares coming from central region of poland. measurements werecarried out using atomic absorption spectrometry. the ranges of median values found for the conce...

Neuroimaging studies have identified three scene-selective regions in human cortex: parahippocampal place area (PPA), retrosplenial complex (RSC), and occipital place area (OPA). However, precisely what scene information each region represents is not clear, especially for the least studied, more posterior OPA. Here we hypothesized that OPA represents local elements of scenes within two independ...

The currently-accepted dogma when analysing human Alu transposable elements is that 'young' Alu elements are found in low GC regions and 'old' Alus in high GC regions. The correlation between high GC regions and high gene frequency regions make this observation particularly difficult to explain. Although a number of studies have tackled the problem, no analysis has definitively explained the re...
