We present an educational software package (Csim) used as a teaching tool to analyze the structure and behavior of a cache memory and to help the student in the design of cache memories for embedded systems. By means of an integrated software development environment, the user can create a program and explore its behavior (locality analysis). The student can observe the cache actions needed for ...

Whilst the object oriented paradigm and its instantiation within programming languages such as Java has become a ubiquitous part of both the commercial and educational landscapes, its usage as a visualisation technique within Mathematics undergraduate programmes of study has perhaps been somewhat underestimated. By regarding the object oriented paradigm as a medium for conceptual exploration (r...

Simulation software based on a detailed unstructured model for penicillin production in a fed-batch fermentor has been developed. The model extends the mechanistic model of Bajpai and Reuss by adding input variables such as pH, temperature, aeration rate, agitation power, and feed flow rate of substrate and introducing the CO2 evolution term. The simulation package was then used for monitoring ...

The package provides the generic function fxInteractive() to facilitate the interpretation of various kinds of regression models. It allows to observe the effects of variations of metric covariates in an interactive manner by means of termplots for different model classes. Currently linear regression models, generalized linear models, generalized additive models and linear mixed-effects models ...

The use of propensity score methods (Rosenbaum and Rubin, 1983) have become popular for estimating causal inferences in observational studies in medical research (Austin, 2008) and in the social sciences (Thoemmes and Kim, 2011). In most cases however, the use of propensity score methods have been confined to a single treatment. Several researchers have suggested using propensity score methods ...

OBJECTIVES To examine the clinical effectiveness of a stepped care approach over a 12-month period after an acute whiplash injury; to estimate the costs and cost-effectiveness of each strategy including treatments and subsequent health-care costs; and to gain participants' perspective on experiencing whiplash injury, NHS treatment, and recovery within the context of the Managing Injuries of the...

Background: A comfortable acoustic environment in NICU set up can play an important role health, healing, and well-being for neonate’s especially preterm babies. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational package on awareness adherence standard among healthcare personnel NICU.Methodology: quantitative approach with pre-experimental one group pre-test, post-test design ...
