We propose a discrete collocation method for the boundary integral equations which arise from solving Laplace's equation u = 0. The Laplace's equation is deened on connected regions D in R 3 with a smooth boundary S. The piecewise polynomial interpolation in the parametrization variables along with the collocation method is used, and a numerical integration scheme for collocation integrals is g...

This article investigates the stability of the collocation method for the Radiosity equation. We introduce graded meshes and trial spaces of piecewise poynomials and prove stability for some modified collocation method. Next we show that graded meshes are necessary, even for linear convergence. The generation of triangulations which allow higher order approximations leads to geometrical problem...

This study evaluates the impact of integrating two different collocation segmentations methods in a standard phrase-based statistical machine translation approach. The collocation segmentation techniques are implemented simultaneously in the source and target side. Each resulting collocation segmentation is used to extract translation units. Experiments are reported in the English-to-Spanish Bi...

Collocation and colligation are two closely related concepts associated with the distributional properties of linguistic items in actual language use. Specifically, collocation and colligation refer to the likelihood of co-occurrence of (two or more) lexical items and grammatical categories, respectively. Both terms have been attributed to J. R. Firth (1957: 194–195; 1968: 181–183; see Östman a...

‎in this paper‎, ‎an approach based on statistical spline model (ssm) and collocation method is proposed to solve volterra-fredholm integral equations‎. ‎the set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials‎. ‎under some standard assumptions‎, ‎we establish the convergence property of this approach‎. ‎numerical results on some problems are given...

INTRODUCTION Patient bedside is the ideal setting for teaching physical examination, medical interviewing, and interpersonal skills. Herein we describe a novel model for bedside teaching (BST) practiced during tutor training workshop and its resulting effect on practitioners' self assessment of teaching skills and perceptions. METHODS One-day tutor training workshop included theoretical knowl...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The case/problem-based learning discussion method was recently introduced into the theory-based training program for residents run by the Catalan Society of Anaesthesiology. This study was designed to assess and compare its effectiveness with that of the lecture-based approach for teaching pre-anaesthetic assessment, applying an objective tool for knowledge evaluation b...

today, teaching language through the use of technology has become considerably widespread in many countries. the present research aims to investigate the extent to which computer software and new technologies are employed in teaching persian language. in addition, it studies the reasons for success or failure of these tools. the study, which was conducted in a comparative framework, used a rese...

reading the arabian poems attributed to pre-islamic era, especially mu’allaqat, one constantly faces a widespread linguistic phenomenon that somehow impedes the process of understanding “the signified” and the meaning of the poems. this linguistic technique is characterized by deletion of the qualified and replacement of one or more qualifiers for it. the phenomenon is today discussed in some r...
