Although modeling instruction has been identified as a productive professional development activity that coaches can use with teachers in their classrooms, are provided little guidance regarding how to support teacher learning they model mathematics instruction. While previous research points the importance of providing examples high-quality through coach’s model, may need additional unfolds ma...

The domain of Knowledge Intensive Process Improvement (Knowiπ) will be considered in this paper. For the improvement of knowledge intensive processes (KnowiP) we suggest Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The representation needed by the GA depends on the modelling language of KnowiPs. We will use Petrinets for the process modelling and then use the incidence matrix of the corresponding Petrinet as prob...

UNLABELLED A set of 209 dwellings that represent 80% of U.S. housing stock is used to generate frequency distributions of residential infiltration rates. The set of homes is based on an analysis of the 1997 U.S. Department of Energy's Residential Energy Consumption Survey, which documents numerous housing characteristics including type, floor area, number of rooms, type of heating system, found...

Shot-noise processes generalize compound Poisson processes in the following way: a jump (the shot) is followed by a decline (noise). This constitutes a useful model for insurance claims in many circumstances; claims due to natural disasters or self-exciting processes exhibit similar features. We give a general account of shot-noise processes with time-inhomogeneous drivers inspired by recent re...
