The basic elements of autobiographical or episodic memory are established in early childhood, although the exact age at which memories gain episodic status is still under contention. The self-memory system proposed that adults use "lifetime periods" to group episodic memories together into chapters of the life story - an evolving and internalized account of significant life events that are self...

Although story mapping strategy has been shown to be beneficial in many reading comprehension classes, the benefits of this technique have not been thoroughly investigated in L2 writing research. The small number of previous studies (e.g., Li, 2007; Brunner, 2010) have found the potential benefits of using story mapping strategy on students’ writing performance, but they did not focus on differ...

We develop superembedding approach to multiple D-particle (D0-brane) system. In flat target D = 10 type IIA superspace this produces the supersymmetric and Lorentz covariant version of the Matrix model equations. The equations following from our superembedding approach to multiple D0 in curved type IIA superspace shows the Myers ’dielectric brane effect’, i.e. interaction with higher form gauge...

The success of information system development projects is critically dependent on arriving at a shared understanding of the desired outcome by all project stakeholders. To communicate such understanding among stakeholders, development artifacts such as design specifications, prototypes, and user stories are created. This paper presents a new project management tool to measure and ensure common ...

The recent past has seen a proliferation in the amount of digital video content being created and consumed. This is perhaps being driven by the increase in audiovisual quality, as well as the ease with which production, reproduction and consumption is now possible. The widespread use of digital video, as opposed its analogue counterpart, has opened up a plethora of previously impossible applica...

The addition of a rocking structural system will soften the connection between foundation and superstructure help beam-column connections to become softer than typical ones. These structures, with systems, follow elastic gap opening mechanism seismic response. Post-tensioned prestressed tendons dampers are used in systems enable structure return its initial position (self-centering) dissipate e...

Past earthquakes have brought attention to the poor performance of precast reinforced concrete structures, especially relating beam-to-column connections. The evaluation different methodologies for analysis connections in industrial buildings is important. In present work numerical analyses developed allowed study effect that story heights and connection properties on frequencies, drifts, seism...
