Description Logics have been extensively studied from the viewpoint of decidability and computational tractability. Less attention has been given to their usability and the cognitive difficulties they present, in particular for those who are not specialists in logic. This paper reports on a study into the difficulties associated with the most commonly used Description Logic features. Psychologi...

Restriction Site Mapping is one of the interesting tasks in Computational Biology. A DNA strand can be thought of as a string on the letters A, T, C, and G. When a particular restriction enzyme is added to a DNA solution, the DNA is cut at particular restriction sites. The goal of the restriction site mapping is to determine the location of every site for a given enzyme. In partial digest metho...

the concept of individualism in the field of sociology was introduced by the empirical scheme of one's position in society. the growing importance of the attention to this pattern affected by social changes has been rapid and rough. cultural and social processes of modernization and modern age always create new conditions and stimulus leading to changes and verities in methods of individualizat...

Researchers have extensively studied phenomena that affect a second language learner’s oral production while there is scant evidence about input-related factors. Accordingly, the present study sought to investigate how variation in oral production is caused by the input they receive from different course materials. To this end, the study included a micro-evaluation study of three course materia...

A particular characteristic of a manufacturing system concerns the complexity and the presence of uncertainties along with the difficulties in building analytical models that capture the system in all its important aspects. Hence, simulation remains one of the most widely used tools to fill this need. The objective of this article is related to the potential improvement of computer simulation a...

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore how medical students with Specific Learning Difficulties perceive and understand their Specific Learning Difficulty and how it has impacted on their experience of medical training. Method: A purposive sample of fifteen students from one medical school was interviewed. Framework Analysis was used to identify and organise themes emerging from th...
