Abstract How do filmmakers work with pre-existing music? To answer this question, I conducted interviews the musicians, composers, editors, sound designers, and music researchers for Lars von Trier's films. This article combines previously unpublished insider information an original analytical methodology to clarify working processes of contemporary who utilize music. build on Ian Macdonald's p...

In the context of early intervention, infants will wear their hearing aids at fixed, cliniciandetermined settings for months or years before they are able to clearly express their preferences. Therefore, the validity of the clinician-determined hearing aid settings may be of crucial importance for auditory development in the early years of life. In this chapter the validity of prescriptive appr...

Applied ecology is the science of managing ecosystems for defined outcomes, such as conservation, sustainable harvest, and animal pest and weed control. Robust knowledge in science is often expressed as “principles”. Principles in applied ecology have utility by assisting scientists andmanagers to evaluate currentmanagement and to plan future activities. Principles also have a unifying role by ...

It is largely accepted that inspection is the most effective means of finding defects, and thus plays an important role in the software development process. This paper therefore focuses on inspection, its evaluation and improvement, and presents a set of prescriptive software metrics for evaluating software inspections. The usability of the metrics is further illustrated with a case study invol...

Prescriptive screening is defined as screening for diseases solely for the benefit of the individuals participating in the programme. Currently used screening programmes are examined at each stage of life-antenatal, postnatal, school age, adult life, and old age. It is concluded that most disorders for which screening can be confidently recommended for the benefit of the individual are those oc...

In this paper I describe how a narrative approach to science communication may help audiences to more fully understand how science is relevant to their own lives and behaviors. The use of prescriptive scientific narrative can help to overcome challenges specific to scientific concepts, especially the need to reconsider long-held beliefs in the face of new empirical findings. Narrative can capti...

Recent experimental findings suggest that prescriptive norms influence causal inferences. The cognitive mechanism underlying this finding is still under debate. We compare three competing theories: The culpable control model of blame argues that reasoners tend to exaggerate the causal influence of norm-violating agents, which should lead to relatively higher causal strength estimates for these ...

BACKGROUND Curriculum broadly falls into two categories, prescriptive and outcome-based. In the prescriptive curricula emphasis is placed on teaching with generally little integration between subjects and across disciplines. Currently, universities in Pakistan are undergoing a cultural change in the curricular design in order to apply an outcome-based learning instead of prescriptive teaching. ...

The main objective of this thesis is to investigate how selected standards are applied within an industrial context and to suggest strategies to improve their application. This thesis focuses on the human part of large and complex systems. Humans are essential in any large and complex system, but their complexity makes it virtually impossible to fully predict their behaviour and impact on such ...

FLOPS is a forum for research on all issues concerning functional programming and logic programming. In particular, it aims to stimulate the crossfertilization as well as integration of the two paradigms. The symposium takes place about every 1.5 years in Japan. Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji-Susono (1995), Shonan (1996), Kyoto (1998), and Tsukuba (1999). This special issue contains ...
