A brief discussion of the theological understanding of embodiment is followed by a reflection on certain liturgical im...

EEG spectral analysis on Muslim prayers.

This study investigated the proposition of relaxation offered by performing the Muslim prayers by measuring the alpha brain activity in the frontal (F3-F4), central (C3-C4), parietal (P3-P4), and occipital (O1-O2) electrode placements using the International 10-20 System. Nine Muslim subjects were asked to perform the four required cycles of movements of Dhuha prayer, and the EEG were subsequen...

Systematic Reviews: Perhaps “The Answer to Policy Makers’ Prayers”?

Researchers in many countries and disciplines have participated in developing this methodology for more than a century and have used it to synthesize evidence from primary sour...

Separating Introspection and Intercession to Support Metamorphic Distributed Systems

Many middleware platforms use computational reflection to support adaptive functionality. Most approaches intertwine the activity of observing behavior (introspection) with the activity of changing behavior (intercession). This paper explores the use of language constructs to separate these parts of reflective functionality. This separation and “packaging” of reflective primitives is intended t...
