The dominant knowledge modeling paradigm in the KA eld assumes that old knowledge expressed symbolically (i.e. problem-solving strategies or ontologies) is a productivity tool for building new knowledge bases. That is, it assumes that knowledge is context-independent. Researchers of situated cognition (SC) claims that knowledge is mostly context-dependent and that concepts elicited prior to dir...

We propose methods for directly analyzing structural compliance (SC) properties of elastic network models of proteins, and we also propose methods for extracting information about motion properties from the SC properties. The analysis of SC properties involves describing the relationships between the applied forces and the deformations. When decomposing the motion according to the magnitude of ...

soil water retention curve (swrc) is important in the studies of soil and water relationship, soil conservation, irrigation scheduling, drainage, solute transport, plant growth and crop water stress. the performance of 10 models (simons et al., libardy et al., campbell, farrell and larson, van genuchten, brooks and corey, driessen, exponential bruce-luxmore, power bruce-luxmore, and rogowski) w...
