Verpleging het uit ’n maatskaplike behoefte aan sorg vir siekes ontstaan. Verskeie groepe en individue het deur die eeue heen ’n verreikende invloed op die ontwikkeling van verpleging gehad en dit uitgebou tot die professie wat ons vandag ken. In die moderne wêreld oefen veral ontwikkeling in tegnologie ’n groot invloed uit — vergelyk byvoorbeeld die toekomstige rol van rekenarisering op gesond...

Computing with words (CWW) means different things to different people. This article is the start of a position paper, written by some of the members of the CIS Fuzzy Systems Technical Committee Task Force on CWW, that answers the question “What does CWW mean to me?” 1 Chairman of the CWW task force. All of the other authors are members of this task force. 2 This is a task force of the Fuzzy Sys...

It has been argued that complex subjective sense of self is linked to the brain default-mode network (DMN). Recent discovery of heterogeneity between distinct subnets (or operational modules - OMs) of the DMN leads to a reconceptualization of its role for the experiential sense of self. Considering the recent proposition that the frontal DMN OM is responsible for the first-person perspective an...

The objectives of the study were to (i) investigate whether short term mineralization varies to a greater extent by charring organic matter (OM) or by exposure to different mineral surfaces, (ii) examine the effect of clay mineralogy on mineralization of either charred or uncharred OM and (iii) quantify these differences in mineralization in the context of C evolution during charring. Mineraliz...

Being able to reliably, and automatically, select variables in linear regression models is a notoriously difficult problem. This research attacks this question head on, introducing not only a computationally efficient algorithm and method, LARS (and its derivatives), but at the same time introducing comprehensive theory explaining the intricate details of the procedure as well as theory to guid...
