These frameworks, nearly all imported from outside the creative arts themselves, include psychoanalytic theory, gestalt therapy, developmental ...

When starting the software process improvement (SPI) journey, there are many SPI standards toselect from. Selecting good SPI standards can be a technical problem, from a software engineeringpoint of view, but it can also be a political problem, some standards fitting more with internal politicalagendas than others.

We have reported a block-iterative algorithm named DRAMA for image reconstruction for emission tomography (Tanaka and Kudo 2003 Phys. Med. Biol. 48 1405-22). DRAMA is a modified version of the row-action maximum likelihood algorithm (RAMLA), in which the relaxation parameter is subset dependent and is changed in such a way that the noise propagation from subsets to the reconstructed image is su...
