Teaching Evidence-Based Practice: Overcoming Barriers

Based on their experience with implementing a course in evidence-based practice for a psychiatry residency program, the authors identify barriers that must be overcome in teaching this approach to practice. Barriers to evidence-based teaching include students’ concern that an emphasis on research evidence may ignore the human context of mental health problems, students’ perception of inconsiste...

Overcoming Linguistic Barriers to the Multilingual Semantic Web

I analyze Berners-Lee, Hendler, and Lassila’s description of the Semantic Web, discussing what it implies for a Multilingual Semantic Web and the barriers that the nature of language itself puts in the way of that vision. Issues raised include the mismatch between natural language lexicons and hierarchical ontologies, the limitations of a purely writer-centered view of meaning, and the benefits...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

Using a Web-Based System To Support Teaching Processes

A platform-independent Java Web application named TSI (Teacher-Student Interaction) that supports communication between an instructor, teaching assistants and students in a traditional on-campus course is presented in this paper. Using the TSI, the instructor and teaching assistants can handle most of the routine work: upload student personal information, send students personal emails, etc. The...
