Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is the process of solving a given problem based on the knowledge gained from solving precedents. It is an effective technique in the area of customer services or helpdesks. That is, a CBR system is used to solve most of the commonly occurring customer problems. While the implementation techniques may vary, most CBR systems include the following five steps: case repres...

The co-adsorption of CO and OH on two Pt stepped surfaces vicinal to the (111) orientation has been evaluated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Focusing on Pt(533) and Pt(221), which contain (100) and (111)-steps, respectively, we find that (111)-steps should be more reactive towards CO oxidation than surfaces containing (100)-steps. The DFT results are compared with ele...

This article is framed into the theoretical and methodological background of virtual archaeology. The advantages archaeology its weak points have long been discussed in academia, formulating foundations principles to be followed order guarantee scientific results, where data are traceable, transparent verifiable. Gathering inheritance last 30 years debates research, this work proposes implement...

We present a programmatic approach to incorporating ethics into an undergraduate major in statistical and data sciences. discuss departmental-level initiatives designed meet the National Academy of Sciences recommendation for integrating curriculum from top-to-bottom as our majors progress introductory courses senior capstone course, well side-to-side through co-curricular programming. also pro...

Lexicalization is a process of employing vocabulary for specific purposes. The great majority words refer to things and experiences in the outside world come under category lexical meaning, typically nouns, verbs, adjectives. This study seeks attempt contrast lexicalization two English Arabic prayers stylistically. adopts an eclectic model that integrates approaches, one them Keshavarz's five c...

We present a novel microfluidic device with exponentially increasing obstacle arrays to enable sheathless particle focusing. The anisotropic fluidic resistance of slant obstacles generates transverse flows, along which particles are focused to one sidewall. In the successive channel with exponentially increasing widths, bent obstacles extended from the slant obstacles increase the focusing effi...

Objective: Developing basic and clinical communication reasoning skills is crucial in facilitating medical school students' future practice. The path to these skills` development goes through conducting patient-physician interviews. This research aims conducted determine the validity reliability of Patient-Physician Interview Skill Evaluation Form(P-PISEF) be used performance-based tests evalua...

The Steps program, formerly known as Steps to a HealthierUS, was the first Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) program to support a community-based, integrated approach to chronic disease prevention. Steps interventions addressed both diseases and risk factors, focusing on the 3 leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States--tobacco use, poor nutrition, and physical ina...
