Data elements are important part of a computer based cancer risk assessment system. The selection of the data elements are more important for the system built based on Case Based Reasoning (CBR) technology. The system CARA is a computer based cancer risk assessment system that adapts CBR technology. The data elements and an overall architecture that can assure high performance of the CARA are d...

The importance of managing logistics outsourcing risk has been realized by both scholars and managers. Thus, after we study the basic flow for CBR method, and analyze the connotation, characteristics and classification of logistics outsourcing risk, we construct a logistics outsourcing risk assessment model by way of Cased-Based Reasoning method to assess logistics outsourcing risk, and then di...

INTRODUCTION Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) has established itself as a strong predictor of future medical practice by medical students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of EBM in pre-clinical years and reflect on self-assessment skill of 4th semester medical students regarding the understanding of EBM and its various determinants. METHODS All of the 4th semester (M...

We investigate the use of an Agent-based framework to identify and quantify the relationship between security and efficiency within airport terminals. In this framework, we define a novel Security Risk Assessment methodology that explicitly models attacker and defender behavior in a security scenario. It produces a security risk vector, quantifying the risks to the airport terminal. Efficiency ...

The current emphasis on higher order thinking skills (HOTS) has inspired many EFL educators to explore the impact of merging different pedagogical teaching and assessment strategies on the enhancement of thinking skills. Responding to such a growing need to investigate the effect of diverse teaching strategies on HOTS, the present study aimed to explore the impact of the integration of portfoli...

skin grafting always has been considered a challenging task for the researchers and tissue engineers from its first introduction in 1871 by reverdin. skin substitutes, composed of degradable synthetic or biological components, are being considered as emergency replacements/grafts to the damaged skin. a number of technical developments in this filed have led to development of several skin substi...

This paper studies agent-based modelling of hazards in Air Traffic Management (ATM). The study adopts a previously established large database of hazards in current and future ATM as point of departure, and explores to what extent agent-based model constructs are able to model these hazards. The agentbased modelling study is organized in three phases. During the first phase existing agent-based ...

Quantizers play a critical role in digital signal processing systems. Recent works have shown that the performance of acquiring multiple analog signals using scalar analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be significantly improved by prior to quantization. However, design such hybrid quantizers is quite complex, and their implementation requires complete knowledge statistical model signal. In t...

Different methods of language teaching have tried to help EFL learners to develop good language skills based on their various perspectives. Research findings have underscored the effect of using task types in promoting language skills in terms of accuracy in written discourse. Therefore, this study set out to investigate whether there is an evidence of correct use of simple past tense (Accuracy...
