in aristotle’s view, the explanation of an object or an issue is carried out according to the real form or reasonable essence and the utmost objective (ghāyat) it has and the goal it achieves. for instance, why do objects fall? according to aristotle and his followers, motion is explained as per the innate tendency of anything seeking to return to its natural resting place. the resting place or...

This study examines the impact of integrating worked examples into a Cognitive Tutor for genetics problem solving, and whether a genetics process modeling task can help prepare students for explaining worked examples and solving problems. Students participated in one of four conditions in which they engaged in either: (1) process modeling followed by interleaved worked examples and problem solv...

Extracts from brains of mouse, rat, rabbit, pig, chicken, and duck were assayed for peptidylarginine deiminase, which catalyzes the deirnination f arginyl residues. There was peptidylarginine deiminase in the extracts frem all the brains that we tested, suggesting the widespread occurrence ofthis enzyme in vertebrate brains. The levels ofthe activity in the brains of 8 different inbred strains ...

this paper presents an efficient hybrid method, namely fuzzy particleswarm optimization (fpso) and fuzzy c-means (fcm) algorithms, to solve the fuzzyclustering problem, especially for large sizes. when the problem becomes large, thefcm algorithm may result in uneven distribution of data, making it difficult to findan optimal solution in reasonable amount of time. the pso algorithm does find ago...

* * In 1976, the Medical Commission ofthe International Olympic Committee formally condemned the practice of blood transfusion for athletes in good health. As ofthis writing, however, blood doping has not been explicitly forbidden. The Author discusses important and controversial questions such as: does blood transfusion afford world-class athletes a substantial competitive advantage? Is this p...

resource limitation in zero time may cause to some profitable projects not to be selected in project selection problem, thus simultaneous project portfolio selection and scheduling problem has received significant attention. in this study, budget, investment costs and earnings are considered to be stochastic. the objectives are maximizing net present values of selected projects and minimizing v...
