The emergency response ability of police officers is a critical component their career, and also an important support for public security. However, few researchers have focused on the factors that influence ability, especially in group novice policemen. On other hand, as popular way to train case-based instruction (CBI) generates various types data, valuable text data; however, such data always...

We propose a computational model of situated language comprehension based on the Indexical Hypothesis that generates meaning representations by translating amodal linguistic symbols to modal representations of beliefs, knowledge, and experience external to the linguistic system. The model incorporates multiple information sources including perceptions, domain knowledge, and short and long-term ...

A new algorithm for translating ladder diagrams into instruction lists is presented in this paper. To perform this task a new class of digraphs called Fractal Series Parallel (FSP) digraphs is proposed for the first time, which can represent the Boolean functions of a ladder diagram more intuitively and concisely than binary trees. Our analysis is based on the fact that a General Series Paralle...

There has been a growing interest in the use of portfolios to assess nursing student progress in areas such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication. The data obtained from student portfolios can be used to improve undergraduate nursing curricula; however in order for change to occur, closing the assessment feedback loop is essential. The portfolio program of one Midwestern scho...

This work proposes an efficient methodology to synthesize timed circuits from high level specification languages. In particular, this paper presents a systematic procedure for translating channel-level models to time Petri net descriptions. Care is taken in this translation to guarantee that there are no state coding violations in the resulting nets greatly simplifying the synthesis process. Th...

self-regulation is the ability to regulate one’s cognition, behavior, actions, and motivation strategically and autonomously in order to achieve self-set goals including the learning of academic skills and knowledge. accordingly, self-regulated learning involves self-generated and systematic thoughts and behaviors with the aim of attaining learning goals. with that in mind, this study aimed to ...
