An important part of the systems development process is building models of real-world phenomena. These phenomena are described by many different kinds of information, and this diversity has resulted in a wide variety of modelling representations. Different types of information are better expressed by some representations than others, so it is sensible to use multiple representations to describe...

Results obtained from a novelty-preference procedure indicate that young infants possess abilities to organize objects into perceptual categories that have conceptual significance for adults. This work suggests that the initial construction of category representations is not dependent on language, formal instruction, or specialized processes, and that category development may proceed through a ...

Research is key element of sustainable development and long term development is impossible without integrated research system . The most important step in creating useful and efficient research platform will be strengthen motivation of researchers in universities particularly medical sciences universities to researc
