Medical undergraduate training is currently going through a momentous period of change (Tosteson, 1990). New methods of learning and evaluation are being introduced which will radically alter medical training over the next few years. These changes are in part a response to the way medicine itself is being transformed. Medical educators can no longer hope to equip medical students, upon qualific...

A new synchronization system is proposed based on the Lyapunov function scheme by introducing the amplitude parameters for projective synchronization with different ratios. Consequently, the complicated controller is replaced by a signal with scale information from the other side of the synchronization system. Based on amplitude control, different regimes of projective synchronization are obtai...

This survey article on bivariant Kasparov theory and E-theory is mainly intended for readers with a background in homotopical algebra and category theory. We approach both bivariant K-theories via their universal properties and equip them with extra structure such as a tensor product and a triangulated category structure. We discuss the construction of the Baum– Connes assembly map via localisa...

This paper discusses the merits of drawing analogies between human-computer interaction and human-human collaboration in the light of the ever-advancing capability of computer systems. We argue that, given the differences in characteristics between humans and computers, suitable analogies should focus on the more basic, fundamental processes that make collaboration efficient, rather than aiming...

Motor circuits in the spinal cord integrate information from various sensory and descending pathways to control appropriate motor behavior. Recent work has revealed that target-derived retrograde signaling mechanisms act to influence sequential assembly of motor circuits through combinatorial action of genetic and experience-driven programs. These parallel activities imprint somatotopic informa...

We propose a formal semantics for distributed transactions inspired by the attribute mechanisms of the Java Transaction API. Technically, we model services in a process calculus featuring transactional scope mechanisms borrowed from the so called container-managed transactions of Java. We equip our calculus with a type system for our calculus and show that, in well-typed systems, it guarantees ...

We survey the literature on spatial bio-economic and land-use modelling and review thematic developments. Unobserved site specific heterogeneity is common in almost all of the surveyed works . Heterogeneity appears also to be a significant catalyst engendering significant methodological innovation. To better equip prototypes to adequately incorporate heterogeneity, we consider a smorgasbord of ...

Human interaction has a distinct collaborative quality based on the attribution of communicative intentionality. Two networks in the human brain are often described as part of the “social brain”: the mirror system for recognizing intentional behavior and the mentalizing (theory of mind) system for processing it. We equip virtual agents with both systems and model their interaction during embodi...
