SYNTEL is a novel knowledge representation language that provides traditional features of expert system shells within a pure functional programming paradigm. However, it differs sharply from existing functional languages in many ways, ranging from its ability to deal with uncertainty to its evaluation procedures. A very flexible user‐interface definition facility is tightly integrated with the ...

Currently most of the Web-Based learning systems assess the learner’s knowledge in terms of the learner’s crisp responses to the tests that are taken during the learning process. However, several factors such as successful guesses or choosing a more probable answer lead to uncertainty about the evaluation process. To this end, this paper investigates the use of a novel method based on the Intui...

Background: Evidence best strategies to address the burden of disease from hypertension through knowledge translation (KT) in Uganda are lacking. This study aimed at demonstrating the use of the Ottawa Model of research use as a KT model in the pilot study among nurses caring for patients with hypertension. Methods: A descriptive and feasibility pilot study using the Ottawa Model of Research Us...

The article presents research results based on the concept of collaborative infrastructure (as the virtual enterprise network PREMINV e-platform from “Politehnica” University of Bucharest, Romania), in order to unify existing standards for supply chain management and to provide support in various decision making processes in manufacturing supply networks. The intent is to facilitate and enhance...

This paper explores how transdisciplinary knowledge integration can be facilitated in the context of integrated assessments (IAs) and vulnerability assessments (VAs) of climate change. Even though knowledge from a wide range of natural and social science disciplines must be integrated in such transdisciplinary assessments (TAs), the actual process of integration is rarely addressed explicitly a...
