This article is devoted to the research of a simulation system that uses signal-oriented integrators. The simulation environment is based on SIC (Speed Independent Circuits). The article first examines the implementation of arithmetical operations, which have been inspired by the natural world, in environments lacking global synchronization of computational processes. The article then describes...

An object-oriented database model can support features such as abstract data types, methods, encapsulation, subtyping (or inheritance), complex structures, and object identity. The processing of queries in such a model also entails support for these features. Query optimization will require new techniques for supporting the object-oriented features. Although many of the problems that must be so...

Problem Solving Methods (PSM) are abstract structures that describe specific reasoning processes employed to solve a set of similar problems and have proved very effective at enhancing reuse and extensibility in developing knowledge-based systems. We envisage that off-the-shelf PSMs can similarly assist in the development of agent-oriented solutions using Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). A challenge ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study investigated whether problem-solving therapy (PST) is an effective group intervention for improving coping strategy and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with stroke. METHODS In this multicenter randomized controlled trial, the intervention group received PST as add-on to standard outpatient rehabilitation, the control group received outpatie...

A focus on mathematical understanding and problem solving in math education has developed a need to implement alternate ways of testing to better assess the students' understanding and problem solving skills. Furthermore, previous computer-assisted problem-solving systems designed for elementary school mathematical education have focused mainly on developing students’ cognitive skills and less ...

This paper discussed the development of a set of object-oriented modular simulation tools for solving lumped and distributed parameter models generated in process design and simulation. The application of object-oriented design (OOD) and modular approach greatly improves current modeling and simulation capability. Modularized components can be easily integrated/adapted to form a new user-define...

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is often called a motor learning deficit. The question addressed in this paper is whether improvement of motor skills is just a matter of mere practice. Without any kind of intervention, children with DCD do not improve their motor skills generally, whereas they do improve after task-oriented intervention. Merely offering children the opportunity to pra...

background and purpose: heart disease death rates have increased worldwide.family-oriented empowerment model improves the quality of life in the patients with chronic diseases. this study aims to determine the effect of family-oriented empowerment model on the life quality of the patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. methods: a quasi-experimental study was performed on the patients ...

this paper examined disagreement in two sets of data in the context of service encounters: problem-solving interactions (doctor-patient communication) and purchase-oriented encounters (pharmacies) from a cross-cultural perspective (spanish-british english). we proposed assertiveness, a term that refers to both socio-psychological and linguistic features of communication, as a concept that may h...
