Customer satisfaction analyses are deeply based on customers’ judgments and as consequence, they can be characterized by a certain degree of uncertainty generally ascribed to coexistence of three relevant aspects: vagueness, imprecision and subjectivity. In the present paper, a methodology able to handle such uncertainty, based on the ServQual discrepancy paradigm and that uses in combined mann...

In the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm, subjects study lists of words that are designed to elicit the recall of an associatively related critical item. The 55 lists we have developed provide levels of false recall ranging from .01 to .65, and understanding this variability should provide a key to understanding this memory illusion. Using a simultaneous multiple regression analysis, we a...

The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of energy, telecommunications, transportation, and financial infrastructures pose new challenges for secure, reliable management and operation. No single entity has complete control of these multi-scale, distributed, highly interactive networks, or the ability to evaluate, monitor, and manage in real time. In addition, the conventional mathematic...

We introduce a new parallel programming paradigm namely synchronous parallel critical sections Such parallel critical sections must be seen in the context of switching between synchronous and asynchronous modes of computation Thread farming allows to gen erate bunches of threads to solve independent subprob lems asynchronously and in parallel Opposed to that synchronous parallel critical sectio...

İnsanın yeryüzü serüveni hakkında merak ettiği en önemli konulardan biri ontolojik kimlik arayışıdır. İnsan, varlığına dair tarihi, dini ve bilimsel olarak elde birçok bilgiyi değerlendirmiş her çağda bir varoluş teorisi geliştirmeye çalışmıştır. Bu bazen tarihi köklerine dönerek sondaj yapmayı, elindeki ve/veya veriyi analiz etmeyi de çevresindeki kültürlerin sahip oldukları teorilerinden yara...

In recent times, service-learning has emerged as a popular community-based instructional pedagogy. However, scholars have sharp contention about the role of community engagement paradigm in higher education. Furthermore, limited studies exist on transformative pedagogy This paper addresses this gap literature by presenting an analytical review potential A traditional narrative method was used t...
