The story of Israel and its raison d’être are suffused by memories the Holocaust, which construct self-definition identity state. This article examines works three contemporary Israeli women artists—Dvora Morag, Miri Nishri, Bracha Ettinger—who subvert traditional telling history enable rethinking past as basis for individual’s existence in nation Through these artists, official memory disinteg...

Reflecting on our experience as nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), as well as on the urgency in the assistance to hospitalized newborns (NB), we aimed at describing the interaction between nurses and NBs during the practice of care in the oral tracheal aspiration and in the blood collection for laboratory exams, with emphasis on the physiological and behavioral responses. This i...

exemplificatory, and by concentrating on what is available close at hand, they are inviting others in France to follow them. "Go and do thou likewise" could well be the book's motto, and it will be interesting to see how many adopt it. Even those who consider themselves already sufficiently expert not to require basic instruction should not neglect some of its admonitions, and the traveller to ...

The Psalmist dares ask, "What is man that Thou art mindful of him?" Present-day social psychologists might do well to ask the same question of the subjects in their studies of interpersonal attraction. Much of the work on interpersonal attraction falls short of specifying basic premises concerning the individual's motivational disposition with respect to his fellow humans. Occasionally an autho...

The complexity of human brain geometry suggests a description based on fractality, a mathematical construction to describe self-similarity in various objects in dead and living matter. This would mean that properties or patterns of small cortex structures would be equal to larger ones. Topology is another character. That is the possibility to recognize different forms in smaller, as well as in ...

In four studies, this article investigates the impact of situational experience on social inference. Participants without firsthand experience of a situation made more extreme and erroneous inferences about the personalities of people behaving in that situation than did participants with firsthand experience. Firsthand experience, thus, appears to diminish dispositionism in social inference bec...

The paper considers the design of explicit ratebased flow control for ABR sources in an ATM network. The goal is to share the available capacity “fairly” among many sources while maintaining queue length at a bottleneck node at a desired level. This problem is formulated as a stochastic control problem, and in this framework rate-control mechanisms are developed, which stabilize the queue lengt...

Any modern Graphics Processing Unit (graphics card) is a good platform to run massively parallel programs. Still, we lack tools observe and measure performance characteristics of GPU-based software. We state that due complex memory hierarchy thou- sands execution threads the all issues are about efficient use graphics card hierarchy. propose GPGPUSim simulator, previously used mostly for archit...
