In a multidatabase system which consists of object databases, a global schema created by integrating schemas of the component databases provides a uniform interface and high level location transparency to help users retrieve data. The mapping between the global and component object schemas is complicated due to schema restructuring conducted to resolve various conflicts among component schemas ...

The present article describes the results of a case study on factors that influenced COVID-19 first wave decision making local government level in Republic Estonia. municipalities were studied biggest municipality Estonia, City Tallinn, and worst hit wave, Municipality Saaremaa. In mapping crisis units, 3 units identified 2 Saaremaa – some formalized prior crisis, others ad hoc, yet not at all....

we prove a strong convergence result for a sequence generated by halpern's type iteration for approximating a common fixed point of a countable family of quasi-lipschitzian mappings in a real hilbert space. consequently, we apply our results to the problem of finding a common fixed point of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, an equilibrium problem, and a variational inequality problem for co...

OBJECTIVE To identify the nursing care prescribed for patients in risk for pressure ulcer (PU) and to compare those with the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) interventions. METHOD Cross mapping study conducted in a university hospital. The sample was composed of 219 adult patients hospitalized in clinical and surgical units. The inclusion criteria were: score ≤ 13 in the Braden Scal...

We present for mental processes the program of mathematical mapping which has been successfully realized for physical processes. We emphasize that our project is not about mathematical simulation of the brain's functioning as a complex physical system, i.e., mapping of physical and chemical processes in the brain on mathematical spaces. The project is about mapping of purely mental processes on...

A new method of land cover mapping from satellite images using granulometric analysis is presented here. Discontinuous landscapes such as steppian bushes of semi arid regions and recently growing urban settlements are especially concerned by this study. Spatial organisations of the land cover are quantified by means of the size distribution analysis of the land cover units extracted from high r...

Stemming from a twenty-month pedagogical experience using a concept mapping software for higher education students in an online course, this paper reports findings from what became an exploratory study. The objectives were to support the students’ knowledge construction process and to stimulate metacognitive reflection. After having read some instructional texts, students used an object-oriente...

Although it is well recognized that photointerpretation of the Landsat imagery can provide adequate information for mapping broad categories of land cover at a reconnaissance level, it is also true that the Landsat data in digital format (CCT's) together with numerical (computer-aided) analysis techniques can provide a great deal more information at a higher level of mapping detail with mapping...
