frequent interaction among family members, may lead to conflict or problems. therefore, designing intervention programs for promote interpersonal skills among family members seemed to be necessary. one of these programs is problem solving strategies teaching.  this study aime to investigate the effects of teaching problem solving on parenting style and family problem solving. the sample is cons...

decision making and problem solving are especially important skills for business and life. as an innovation leading corporate, sony has gradually lost their superiority in innovation and core competences under more and more intensive competition environment. this report is made to investigate sony current procedure on its solving problems and making decision, analyze approaches and tools used b...

a bstract   background: midwifery profession is required to bring solutions to problems and a midwife is expected to be an assertive person and to develop midwifery care. this study was planned to examine the relationship between assertiveness and problem‑solving skills of midwives.   materials and methods: this cross‑sectional study was conducted with 201 midwives between july 2008 and februar...

Let U(t, ) be solution of the Dirichlet problem y''+( t-q(t))y= 0 - 1 t l y(-l)= 0 = y(x), with variabIe t on (-1, x), for fixed x, which satisfies the initial condition U(-1, )=0 , (-1, )=1. In this paper, the asymptotic representation of the corresponding eigenfunctions of the eigen values has been investigated . Furthermore, the leading term of the asymptotic formula for ...

objective: interventions for people suffering from borderline personality disorder (bpd), such as dialectical behavior therapy, often include a problem-solving component. however, there is an absence of published studies examining the problem-solving abilities of this client group in iran. the study compared inpatients and outpatients with bpd and a control group on problem-solving capabilities...

  This paper deals with minimization of tardiness in single machine scheduling problem when each job has two different due-dates i.e. ordinary due-date and drop dead date. The drop dead date is the date in which jobs’ weights rise sharply or the customer cancels the order. A linear programming formulation is developed for the problem and since the problem is known to be NP-hard, three heuristic...

The narrow escape problem in diffusion theory is to calculate the mean first passage time of a diffusion process to a small target on the reflecting boundary of a bounded domain. The problem is equivalent to solving the mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problem for the Poisson equation with small Dirichlet and large Neumann parts. The mixed boundary value problem, which goes back to Lord R...

This paper provides a new implementation of a multiscale mortar mixed finite element method for second order elliptic problems. The algorithm uses non-overlapping domain decomposition to reformulate a fine scale problem as a coarse scale mortar interface problem, which is then solved using an iterative method. The original implementation by Arbogast, Pencheva, Wheeler, and Yotov, Multiscale Mod...
