Throughout the 25-year history of research on stimulus equivalence, one feature of the training procedure has remained constant, namely, the requirement of operant responding during the training procedures. The present investigation compared the traditional match-to-sample (MTS) training with a more recent respondent-type (ReT) procedure. Another consistent feature of the equivalence paradigm i...

The Throne Hospital was established due to the generosity of the Martin family of Shrigley, Killyleagh, whose wealth was derived from the Shrigley flax spinning mills. Mr Samuel Martin conceived the idea of establishing a Children's Hospital in a rural district close to the City of Belfast. Sadly he died in 1872, but his philanthropic wishes were honoured and carried out by his father John Mart...

The single-object typed access matrix (SOTAM) model was recently introduced in the literature by Sandhu and Suri. It is a special case of Sandhu's typed access matrix (TAM) model. In SOTAM individual commands are restricted to modifying exactly one column of the access matrix (whereas individual TAM commands in general can modify multiple columns). Sandhu and Suri have outlined a simple impleme...

Thematic 5G Management Rossi Kamal, Choong Seon Hong Department of Computer Engineering Kyung Hee University, South Korea Email: [email protected],[email protected] ABSTRACT Ameliorating elderly engagement is vital in rejuvenating independent living. However, recommended practices lack realization of personal traits despite socio -economic promise. The recent proliferation of IoT with t...

The concern over global urbanization trend imposes smart-city as enabling information and communication technology (ICT) to improve urban governance. However, the light trance on better living space is stimulated by socioeconomic impact of escalated senior generation. Hence, ambient assisted living (AAL) emerges for the autonomous provisioning of pervasive things or objects from relevant pertur...

The Bank-Holst parallel adaptive meshing paradigm [2, 3, 1] is utilised to solve (1) in a combination of domain decomposition and adaptivity. It can be summarised as follows: Step I Mesh Partition: Starting with a coarse mesh TH , the domain is partitioned into non-overlapping subdomains: Ω = ∪pi=1Ωi. Step II Adaptive Meshing: Each processor i is provided with TH and instructed to sequentially ...

AIM The active domains (TIR and NACHT) of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs: Toll-like receptors [TLRs] and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain [NOD]-like receptors [NLR], respectively) are the major hotspots of evolution as natural selection has crafted their final structure by substitution of residues over time. This paper addresses the evolutionary perspectives of the TLR and NLR...

Human milk lipids provide the infant with energy and essential vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and bioactive components. Adding complex lipids and milk fat globule membranes to vegetable oil-based infant formula has the potential to enhance infant development and reduce infections. Cholesterol provision with breastfeeding modulates infant sterol metabolism and may induce long-term benefi...

Lyndon's Interpolation Theorem asserts that for any valid implication between two purely relational sentences of rst-order logic, there is an interpolant in which each relation symbol appears only in those polarities in which it appears in both the antecedent and the succedent of the given implication. This note proves a similar interpolation result under the additional requirement that, for so...
