This note considers the problem of synchronizing a network of digital clocks: the clocks all run at the same rate, however, an initial state of the network may place the clocks in arbitrary phases. The problem is to devise a protocol to advance or retard clocks so that eventually all clocks are in phase. The solutions presented in this note are protocols in which all processes are identical and...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to design and validate a high school technological competency curriculum model. Methodology: This study had an integrated strategy. To answer the questions, the research was conducted in four phases. The first phase was conducted with a qualitative approach and the other phases were conducted with a quantitative approach. In the first phase of this research, ...

We study networks of coupled phase oscillators and show that network architecture can force relations between average frequencies of the oscillators. The main tool of our analysis is the coupled cell theory developed by Stewart, Golubitsky, Pivato, and Török, which provides precise relations between network architecture and the corresponding class of ODEs in RM and gives conditions for the flow...

In this paper an approach in realization of analogy-based reasoning in semantic networks is presented. New semantic model, called Active Semantic Model (ASM), was used. Core of the process is performed by ASM’s association (semantic relation) plexus upgrading procedure based on recognition and determining similarity between association plexuses. Determining similarity between association plexus...

the main purpose of this research is the presentation of some prerequisites of educational theorizing with regard to ontologic components of complexity paradigm. for this purpose, by using the philosophical methods, after making mention of how ontologic components of simplicity paradigm (naive realism, linear causation, determinism) influence contemporary educational theories, ontologic compone...
