Jean is a model of early cognitive development based loosely on Piaget’s theory of sensori-motor and pre-operational thought [1]. Like an infant, Jean repeatedly executes schemas, gradually extending its schemas to accommodate new experiences. Jean’s environment is a simulated “playpen” in which Jean and other objects move about and interact. Jean’s cognitive development depends on several inte...

To the best of our knowledge, there is no generic mapping from conceptual schemas to NoSQL physical schemas. This paper tackles such problem in the context of geographic databases. We discuss the solution of mapping conceptual schemas to hybrid relational/NoSQL physical schemas. Resumo. Até onde pudemos determinar, não existem ainda propostas genéricas para produzir esquemas fı́sicos para estrut...

XML was initially developed for document management, but it is becoming increasingly used for storing and exchanging all kinds of data on the Internet. In this paper, we introduce a design methodology for XML schemas that is based upon well-understood conceptual modeling methodologies. Because XML is hierarchical (tree-structured), many different XML schemas (or document structures) can be gene...

Objective: The present study aimed to examine and compare early maladaptive schemas and impulsivity between opioid abusers and non-abusers. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, early maladaptive schemas and impulsivity were compared between 60 individuals dependent on opioids who were sampled from five drug rehabilitation centers in Qazvin and 60 workers of the Qazvin Glass Factory who were...

ODMG 3.0 (January 2000) does not specify how to define external schemas in object oriented databases and only offers a very basic mechanism for defining views, called named queries. In this paper, a system and a language for defining external schemas in ODMG databases are presented. Both are based on a mechanism that avoids the generation of classes that are not necessary in external schemas. T...

We present a schema-based agent architecture which is inspired by an ethological model of the praying mantis. It includes an inner state, perceptual and motor schemas, several routines, a fovea and a motor. We describe the design and implementation of the architecture and we use it for comparing two models: the former uses reactive, stimulusresponse schemas; the latter involves also forward mod...

Over the past 25 years children’s behaviors and expectations have changed to meet times. A change in societal values skills (e.g., 21st century skills) has affected child’s schema. This schema implications perception, awareness, emotional regulation, attention. For this reason, there needs be a conscious mindset shift accepting new value systems corresponding schemas that accompany them. As chi...

In this paper, we introduce a semiotics-based framework for evaluating the quality of conceptual schemas of databases. We created it based on an existing semiotics-based framework that has been used to evaluate other types of software entities. We propose two measures for evaluating the perceived semantic quality of conceptual schemas. The measures consider correspondence between conceptual dat...

In this paper, a mathematical schema theory is developed. This theory has three roots: brain theory schemas, grid automata, and block-shemas. In Section 2 of this paper, elements of the theory of grid automata necessary for the mathematical schema theory are presented. In Section 3, elements of brain theory necessary for the mathematical schema theory are presented. In Section 4, other types of...

This article presents the first collection of French Winograd Schemas. Winograd Schemas form anaphora resolution problems that can only be resolved with extensive world knowledge. For this reason the Winograd Schema Challenge has been proposed as an alternative to the Turing Test. A very important feature of Winograd Schemas is that it should be impossible to resolve them with statistical infor...
