It is framed within my experiential knowledge of caring for ageing parents, with the tensions challenges around problematising value expertise based on experience, communication, grief, autonomy freedom versus safe...

Numerical simulations of the 3D MHD-equations that describe rotating magnetoconvection in a Cartesian box have been performed using the code NIRVANA. The characteristics of large-scale quantities like the turbulence intensity and the turbulent heat flux that are caused by the average action of the small-scale fluctuations are computed directly from the fluctuating primitive variables. and the e...

Assessing the accuracy of any diagnostic procedure remains integral to method evaluation. Evaluation of a diagnostic procedure is assessed by its ability to categorise patients accurately into those with or without a disease state. The presence or absence of the disease state is defined according to some, often arbitrarily selected “gold standard”. The nature of the gold standard can itself be ...

Nowadays, Enterprise Integration (EI) constitutes a real and growing need for most of enterprises, especially for large and dynamic ones. It constitutes the main approach to deal with heterogeneity, and particularly to deal with semantic heterogeneity, which it forms the crucial problem of EI. This last problem is not correctly addressed by today's EI solutions that focus mainly on the technica...
