For fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of rotating machinery, the phase errors generated by integration processing a vibration signal are an essential investigation subject. Phase affect solution mechanical systems with multiple sources also information transmitted through that is used for diagnosis. This work proposes use plane, recurrence plot (RP), cross (CRP) to evaluate shift error...

Neurotransmitter release following synaptic vesicle (SV) fusion is the fundamental mechanism for neuronal communication. Synaptic exocytosis is a specialized form of intercellular communication that shares a common SNARE-mediated fusion mechanism with other membrane trafficking pathways. The regulation of synaptic vesicle fusion kinetics and short-term plasticity is critical for rapid encoding ...

 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of asynchronous computer-mediated versus conventional corrective feedback on learners' writing accuracy. Three groups of learners took part in the study: asynchronous feedback group, conventional feedback group, and a control group. Asynchronous feedback group students received explicit feedback on the targeted structure via e-mail, while...

I propose to consider the question, “Can machines think?” This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms “machine” and “think.” The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words“machine”and “think” are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to e...

Within the framework of info-computationalism, morphological computation is described as fundamental principle for all natural computation (information processing). Foundations of a New Science of Computation Present computational machinery evolved from mechanical calculators to electronic machines with vacuum tubes and then transistors, and to integrated circuits and eventually microprocessors...

Dezhi Wu is Assistant Professor of Information Systems in the Department of Computer Science & Information Systems, Southern Utah University, Cedar City, UT, U.S.A. She received her Ph.D. in Information Systems from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Her current research interests include Electronic Time Management/ Calendar Systems, Asynchronous Learning Networks, Human-Computer Interacti...

We present a very simple and powerful framework for indeterminate, asynchronous, higher-order computation based on the formula-as-agent and proof-ascomputation interpretation of (higher-order) linear logic [Gir87]. The framework significantly refines and extends the scope of the concurrent constraint programming paradigm [Sar89] in two fundamental ways: (1) by allowing for the consumption of in...
