MICROBIOLOGY EDUCATION, May 2001, p
Educators emphasize the importance of problem solving that enables students to apply current knowledge and understanding in new ways to previously unencountered situations. Yet few methods are available to visualize and then assess such skills in a rapid and efficient way. Using a software system that can generate a picture (i.e., map) of students’ strategies in solving problems, we investigate...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of a New Neural Network for Routing in Mesh Interconnection Networks
Routing is one of the basic parts of a message passing multiprocessor system. The routing procedure has a great impact on the efficiency of a system. Neural algorithms that are currently in use for computer networks require a large number of neurons. If a specific topology of a multiprocessor network is considered, the number of neurons can be reduced. In this paper a new recurrent neural ne...

متن کاملComparison of Artificial Neural Networks and Cox Regression Models in Prediction of Kidney Transplant Survival
Cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. In recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. This research was conducted to compare Cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. The prese...
متن کاملPVM–based Training of Large Neural Architectures
In this paper a methodology for parallelizing neural network training algorithms is described, based on the parallel evaluation of the error function and gradient using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM). PVM is an integrated set of software tools and libraries that emulates a general–purpose, flexible, heterogeneous concurrent computing framework on interconnected computers of varied architect...
