Few studies in medical education have studied effect of quality of motivation on performance. Self-Determination Theory based on quality of motivation differentiates between Autonomous Motivation (AM) that originates within an individual and Controlled Motivation (CM) that originates from external sources. To determine whether Relative Autonomous Motivation (RAM, a measure of the balance betwee...

The need for integration of model-based verification into industrial processes has produced several attempts to define Model-Driven solutions implementing a unifying approach to system development. A recent trend is to implement tool chains supporting the developer both in the design phase and V&V activities. In this Model-Driven context, specific domains require proper modelling approaches, es...

The study aims at investigating diffusion behaviors between virgin asphalt and recycled mastic (RAM) an atomistic scale. Firstly, a mutual model of asphalt–RAM considering the actual mass ratio filler to binder (F/A) condition was developed by molecular dynamic (MD)simulation. Secondly, indexes relative concentration (RC), radial distribution function (RDF) mean square displacement (MSD) were u...

Sparse matrix elements on hypercube and perfect difference network have been studied. Gaussian symmetric factorization algorithm is being used to map the matrix on these two architectural topologies. A comparative study of hypercube and perfect difference network is done on the basis of topological properties. It has been shown that the access function or routing function contains topological p...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To examine our experience with surgically treated radiation-associated malignancy (RAM) of the temporal bone. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Thirteen patients treated surgically for temporal-bone RAM during 1999 to 2012 were identified. Demographics, symptoms at presentation with RAM, interval between initial radiotherapy and diagnosis of RAM, patholo...

Spin Transfer Torque RAM (STT-RAM) is a form of computer data storage which allows data items to read and write faster. Every peripheral circuit have some static power consumption, which is consumed while there is no circuit activity. The main objective of the paper is to reduce the static power consumption in peripheral circuits with the help of STT-RAM technology. Instead of fetching instruct...

The mRNA cap is a structure added to RNA pol II transcripts in eukaryotes, which recruits factors involved in RNA processing, nuclear export and translation initiation. RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT)-RNA-activating miniprotein (RAM), the mRNA cap methyltransferase complex, completes the basic functional mRNA cap structure, cap 0, by methylating the cap guanosine. Here, we report that RN...

The increasing use of Machine Learning (ML) components embedded in autonomous systems -- so-called Learning-Enabled Systems (LESs) has resulted the pressing need to assure their functional safety. As for traditional safety, emerging consensus within both, industry and academia, is assurance cases this purpose. Typically support claims reliability can be viewed as a structured way organising arg...
