This paper establishes an ontology of creativity and innovation processes. A comprehensive review was undertaken describing the four key perspectives of creativity research, namely the creative-output, -process, -person and -environment. The focus of this review is based around the metrics for measuring creativity from each of the above perspectives. These metrics are drawn together in a common...

This paper proposes a model of expertise of temporary design teams. We start by outlining a situated view of expertise as being grounded in individual experience, which emphasises its applicability and teleology. We use the construct of a computational agent to model the individual expert. We then show the advantages of the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) schema to represent the knowledge of...

Attitudes towards eating, weight and shape were examined in 479 Caucasian, Afro-Caribbean and Asian British women. The Asian women were found to have significantly more disordered eating attitudes than the Caucasian women, but no difference was found between the three groups in their concern with their body weight and shape. However, while in the Caucasian group disordered eating attitudes were...

In a group of 105 mentally ill immigrants we investigated the intensity and the frequency of aggressive behaviour at the time of admission with the help of two standardized instruments: the "Social Dysfunction and Aggression Scale" (SDAS) and the "Modified Overt Aggression Scale" (MOAS). As many as possible collateral informants were contacted to gather all information available for the aggress...

Abstract Politically motivated crime against a person is characterised by the fact that victims are interchangeable in sense individuals seen as representatives of their social or ethnic group. The current study examines whether existence group-focused enmity (GFE) linked to perpetration discriminatory behaviour, form politically crime, which considered classic example attitude–behaviour relati...

In this research, behaviour of clayey soils under triaxial loading is studied using Neural Network. The models have been prepared to predict the stress-strain behaviour of remolded clays under undrained condition. The advantage of the model developed is that simple parameters such as physical characteristics of soils like water content, fine content, Atterberg limits and so on, are used to mode...
