A characteristic feature of physics knowledge is the high degree of coherence and connectedness of its concepts. To large degree physics concepts and laws can be viewed as organized, network-like structures. Consequently, learning can also be seen as the working with and the building of the conceptual networks. It is argued here that a useful viewpoint on learning physics conceptual structure c...

the main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of students' social capital components and entrepreneurship intention. the statistical population of this study consisted of all students of university college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran (n=2600) among which 155 students where accessed based on cochran formula and through convenient sampling. data wer...

We studied the synchronization of single units in macaque deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) with local field potentials (LFPs) in primary motor cortex (M1) bilaterally during performance of a precision grip task. Analysis was restricted to periods of steady holding, during which M1 oscillations are known to be strongest. Significant coherence between DCN units and M1 LFP oscillations bilaterally was...

Analytical methods for the qualitative and quantitative detection of genetically modified (GM) products may serve multiple purposes. Legal requirements differ among jurisdictions, ranging from no requirements to mandatory use of event-specific quantitation and implementation of production chain traceability. Although efforts have been taken to harmonize the analytical methodology at national, r...

Water, sanitation and hygiene are all key aspects to a healthy environment but often they suffer from a lack of coherence within the sector itself and also a lack of synergy with the health sector. This is not acceptable given one quarter of all child deaths are directly attributable to water-borne disease. This lack of synergy is evident at many different layers including planning, resource al...

Component-based programming promises to ease the construction of large-scale applications. The construction of applications using components relies on the notion of interfaces. However, the notion of interfaces provided by current component models is restricted: In particular, it does not include behavioral information to define the protocols of the components: Sequences of service requests. Th...

In this book we address the problem of introducing flexibility and adaptability in autonomous agent design in the context of agents situated in regulated environments. We argue that current cognitive architectures such as those based on BDI theory fall short in performing autonomous reasoning in agents. One of the important reasons is the lack of clear motivations for choosing a goal or an acti...

This study tries to investigate one type of synchronous online communication, which is Internet Relay Chat, in terms conversational analysis, particularly turn-taking and adjacency pairs. Synchronous communication can be viewed as a novel medium that combines spoken, written electronic properties. There may direct causal link between the lack coherence its propensity for language play leads ana...

one of the approaches which defends the rationality of religious beliefs is the reformed epistemology. among reformed epistemologists, wolterstorff’s view is subject to less criticism. this article tries to present epistemological foundations of wolterstorff’s view by describing and analyzing the statements which he has offered in his works. wolterstorff’s epistemological foundations are explai...
