aim: professional commitment has been widely discussed during the last decade. there is no comprehensive definition about “professional commitment in iranian nurses.” hence, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the concept of professional commitment in iranian nurses. materials and methods: hybrid model was used in three phases. firstly, in the theoretical phase, data were retriev...

We analyze the geometry of the two-slit camera and come to two conclusions. First, we show that the definition given by et al. [9] makes sense only if the two slits are not intersecting. Secondly, we prove that the complete image from a two-slit camera cannot be obtained as an intersection of the rays of the two-slit camera with a plane in space. Motivated by the quest for a unified representat...

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) technique is mainly depend on two processes; mapping specification and transformation definition, this last one (sometimes called model transformation definition) has a tool to implement, which the most used one is Query/View/Transformation (QVT) Relational Language. This language sponsored by Object Management Group (OMG), and we found that it needs a repository...

Prepaid customers in mobile telecommunications are not bound by a contract and can therefore change operators (‘churn’) at their convenience and without notification. This makes the task of predicting churn both challenging and financially rewarding. This paper presents an explorative, real world study of prepaid churn modeling by varying on three dimensions: data, outcome definition and popula...

Prepaid customers in mobile telecommunications are not bound by a contract and can therefore change operators (‘churn’) at their convenience and without notification. This makes the task of predicting prepaid churn both challenging and financially rewarding. This paper presents an explorative, real world study of prepaid churn modeling by varying the experimental setup on three dimensions: data...

This paper is concerned, in the first place, with showing how a formula derived by the present author in an earlier paper can be given a more satisfactory form and definition. Secondly, some of the properties of this formula and difficulties connected with its possible use are discussed. In connection with this work the concept of "Quantum Probability Pressure" is used and it is shown that this...

This paper deals with an introduction to computing anticipatory systems starting with Robert Rosen's definition of anticipatory systems. Firstly, the internalist and externalist aspects of anticipation will be explained at an intuitive point of view. Secondly, the concepts of incursion and hyperincursion are proposed to model anticipatory systems. Thirdly, a simple example of a computing antici...

International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (IJMS) is published by the Faculty Graduate - University Sri Jayewardenepura. IJMS provides a supportive environment for multidisciplinary researchers to publish their contribution academy knowledge and wisdom. Focus journal on research which should cover at least two distinct disciplines.

This paper introduces a new way for obtaining the optimum solution of prior parameters in survival analysis. Firstly, we give the definition of deviation limit, and discuss a property of prior parameters. Secondly, we present a method for obtaining the optimum solution of prior parameters with exponential distribution. Finally, we deal with a real data set, through which we can see that the pre...

Independent from the concrete definition of the term “data quality” consistency always plays a major role. There are two main points when dealing with the data quality of a database: Firstly, the data quality has to be measured, and secondly, if is necessary, it must be improved. A classifier can be used for both purposes regarding consistency demands by calculating the distance of the classifi...
