These roles include innovative and experience based ideas to address broken aspects of the humanitarian system, overall advocacy on behalf of refugees and migrants based on humanitarian and spiritual principles, direct action in refugee camps and communities, action in communities that refugees and migran...

A signed graph (G,Σ) is a G together with set Σ⊆E(G) of negative edges. circuit positive if the product signs its edges positive. balanced all circuits are The frustration index l(G,Σ) minimum cardinality E⊆E(G) such that (G−E,Σ−E) balanced, and k-critical l(G,Σ)=k l(G−e,Σ−e)<k, for every e∈E(G). We study decomposition subdivision critical graphs completely determine t-critical graphs, t≤2. Cri...

Natural protein molecules are exceptional polymers. Encoded in apparently random strings of amino-acids, these objects perform clear physical tasks that are rare to find by simple chance. Accurate folding, specific binding, powerful catalysis, are examples of basic chemical activities that the great majority of polypeptides do not display, and are thought to be the outcome of the natural histor...

Predicting when a person might be frustrated can provide an intelligent system with important information about when to initiate interaction. For example, an automated Learning Companion or Intelligent Tutoring System might use this information to intervene, providing support to the learner who is likely to otherwise quit, while leaving engaged learners free to discover things without interrupt...

Understanding levels of frustration in ATSs is important because frustration can affect student learning, and the clinical experience is critical to their development as professionals. OBJECTIVE To explore perceived levels of frustra...
