the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of paaryaad training program on the development of motor skills of children aged between 6 and 8 who suffered from high function autism (hfa). for this purpose, 30 girls with hfa (mean age 7.1 ± 0.6 yr) were randomly selected from special schools of sanandaj city. then, according to the pretest scores, were assigned to control and exper...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a selected motor program (as a motor experience) on manipulative skills in 4-6-year-old boys. 40 subjects were selected randomly using a personal information questionnaire. after the pretest, the ulrich's test of gross motor development (2000) including fundamental motor skills, locomotors skills, manipulative skills and controllin...

Introduction: In the design of educational programs, much attentionhas been paid to teaching methods, needs assessment, an importantpart of the development of educational programs, generally isneglected. Another important aspect in educational program design isassessing effectiveness. The aims of this study were to design a formalneeds assessment program to define the core contents of a faculty...

This paper describes a programming environment aimed at developing and tuning message passing applications before actually running them in a real system with a large number of processors. Two basic tools in this environment are a simulator (Dimemas) and a visualization and analysis tool (Paraver) that are closely integrated.

Students following the Mechatronics Program stream at the University of Waikato often continue to a MSc degree that can involve the design of, or modification to, an Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV). Our challenge is to inspire and extend the capabilities of these students, a success that can perhaps be measured by the sophistication of the AGVs currently being produced by our graduates.

We present the program development concept in a logical framework including constructive type theory and then show how to use such theories to derive programs from proofs of formal speciications. We are interested in two important facts that are the mechanization of the proof construction and the possibility to express in the theory signiiciant concepts for programming (like inductively deened ...

Cellular processing is a simple yet attractive model for parallel processing. First we will give a short introduction to cellular processing, then we will describe the two main elements of a corresponding program development environment: CDL, covering the local behaviour and ACL, covering the global behaviour of cellular models. Finally we will explain on which target architectures this softwar...
