Systems engineering design analyses employed to assess time-dependent processes are invariably supported by fragmented simulation modelling tools. Mapping the data used can remove the fragmentation that exists between different engineering data sets. The data mapping approach explained herein will allow appropriate models to be either constructed or selected, which ensures good data connectivit...

A reductionistic approach to science, epitomized by molecular biology, is often contrasted with the holistic approach of systems biology. However, molecular biology and systems biology are actually interdependent and complementary ways in which to study and make sense of complex phenomena.

It has been claimed that connectionist methods of encoding compositional structures, such as Pollack's RAAM, support a non-classical form of structure sensitive operation known as holistic computation, where symbol structures can be acted upon holistically without the need to decompose them, or to perform a search to locate or access their constituents. In this paper, it is argued that the conc...

 Anderson, J. G. & Taylor, A. F. (2011). Effects of Healing Touch in Clinical Practice: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials. Journal of Holistic Nursing, 29(3): 221-228. Hands-on healing and energy-based interventions have been found in cultures throughout history around the world. These complementary therapies, rooted in ancient Eastern healing practices, are becoming mainstream...

Holistic Dynamic Theory assumes that the whole person is continually being motivated by one need or another and that people have the potential to grow toward psychological health, that is, self actualization. To attain self actualization, people must satisfy lower level needs such as hunger, safety, love, and esteem. Only after they are relatively satisfied in each of these needs can they reach...

This is a concept that is motivatory in terms of behavior and thus is needed for the personal growth of individuals. The humanistic theories are studied in human psychology. This strongly reacts to behaviorism and psychodynamics. This shows that human beings are the ones who decide on the directions that their lives take. Further, these are conscious decisions. The humanistic holistic theories ...

Virtual Environments (VEs) are expected to facilitate real−time interaction with human participants by using five major senses (Ref 1,2,8). These major channels provide means of interaction as well as tools for communication. However, the existence of several other senses, such as sense of fear, sense of well being, are also aspects of human interaction. Sadly, present technological focus of Vi...
