This paper focuses on implementing a multi-agent simulation using distributed Linux cluster for swarm intelligence between multiple agents in the context of a battlefield or hostile area scenario. Different aspects from several different papers can provide ways in which to develop an autonomous agent algorithm. An autonomous agent algorithm will have the group of individual worker agents collec...

The nursing workforce is aging more rapidly than the workforce as a whole, and fewer young people are entering the profession. It is imperative that older nurses be retained, not only for their experience and expertise, but also to prevent worsening an already critical nursing shortage. A descriptive survey design was used to determine the knowledge base and plans for the aging RN workforce by ...

Introduction. Health care services require nurses , who are critical thinkers,with high learning Skills, who can solve problems for which there are often no standard solutions. Therefore, a change in the way teachers teach merits consideration. Frost argued that pbl equiped nurses with skills demanded by society. Methods. With above consideration, this research , that is a semi-exprimenta...

optimal design of cantilever reinforced concrete retaining wall can lead considerable cost saving if its involvement in hill road formation and railway line formation is significant.  a study of weight reduction optimization of reinforced cantilever retaining wall subjected to a sloped backfill using differential evolution algorithm (dea) is carried out in the present research.  the retaining w...

Recently, there has been an explosion in the availability of large, good-quality cross-linguistic databases such as WALS (Dryer & Haspelmath, 2013), Glottolog (Hammarström et al., 2015) and Phoible (Moran & McCloy, 2014). Databases such as Phoible contain the actual segments used by various languages as they are given in the primary language descriptions. However, this segment-level representat...

Davis, Gillon and Matthewson (hereafter Davis et al) argue that “hypothesisdriven fieldwork has led to a more complete and accurate picture of linguistic diversity than has been produced by methods which rely largely on extracting information from existing descriptive grammars”. They discuss five cases to support their conclusion. In this response, I will discuss only one of these cases, since ...
