conclusions after eight sessions, increased awareness of the environment, improved posture and gait pattern, improved motivation and enjoyment, improved patient tolerance, improved appearance and personal hygiene, loss of purposeful behavior, a realistic plan of action every day, improved attention span, improved decision-making skills, and improved community involvement and coping skills were ...

The well-known Reingold-Tilford algorithm produces tidy layered drawings of trees: drawings where all nodes at the same depth are vertically aligned. However, when nodes have varying heights, layered drawing may use more vertical space than necessary. A non-layered drawing of a tree places children at a fixed distance from the parent, thereby giving a more vertically compact drawing. Moreover, ...

We have studied several nonquilibnum lattice gases with paniclexonsening dynamics. The lattice consists of two planes, and particles interact (mad) only with nearest-neighbour particles within the same plane but may hop to the other. In addition to the standard heat bath at temperalure T, a mechaoism exists that biases a principal axis, namely. we assume either that particles are also driven by...

Introduction Lead-based shields are the most widely used attenuators in X-ray and gamma ray fields. The heavy weight, toxicity and corrosion of lead have led researchers towards the development of non-lead shields. Materials and Methods The purpose of this study was to design multi-layered shields for protection against X-rays and gamma rays in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. In this...

When security of a given network architecture is not properly designed from the beginning, it is difficult to preserve confidentiality, authenticity, integrity and nonrepudiation in practical networks. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks rely on individual nodes to keep all the necessary interconnections alive. In this article we investigate the principal security issue...

Groundwater age distributions are used to estimate the parameters of Fickian, and non-Fickian, effective models of solute transport. Based on the similarities between the transport and age equations, we develop a deconvolution based approach that describes transport between two monitoring wells. We show that the proposed method gives exact estimates of the travel time distribution between two w...

An approach to robotics called layered evolution and merging features from the subsumption architecture into evolutionary robotics is presented, and its advantages are discussed. This approach is used to construct a layered controller for a simulated robot that learns which light source to approach in an environment with obstacles. The evolvability and performance of layered evolution on this t...

Abstract The paper uses a stack model to come an estimation of the EU's digital capacities on global stage. Digital are hard measure and involve wide variety technologies ranging from semiconductors network infrastructure artificial intelligence Internet Things-devices. By adopting Benjamin Bratton's speculative work as contemporary organizing principle sovereignty, this presents layered approa...
