PURPOSE To provide a detailed account of the nature and scope of recommendations for promoting faculty grant proposal success in academic medical settings. METHOD The authors searched relevant scientific databases for articles related to techniques that promote faculty research proposal success, published from 2000 through June 1, 2012. They applied standard information synthesis procedures f...

BACKGROUND The current literature proposing criteria and guidelines for collaborative health system research often fails to differentiate between: (a) various types of partnerships, (b) collaborations formed for the specific purpose of developing a research proposal and those based on long-standing relationships, (c) researcher vs. decision-maker initiatives, and (d) the underlying drivers for ...

In their article “Explaining Bargaining Impasse: The Role of Self-Serving Biases”, (JEP, Winter 1997), Babcock and Loewenstein (hereafter BL) invoke the notion of selfserving biases to account for behavior in a rich variety of settings, for instance, the failure to reach an agreement in laboratory bargaining games, the behavior of job searchers, and the discrepancy between plaintiffs’ and defen...

We are developing mixed-initiative systems that provide users with exible control over evolving processes. For such systems to be feasible, both users and automated agents must be able to operate at multiple levels of abstraction. We are designing mixed initiative systems organized around shared task models to achieve this multi-level task sharing. These task models will allow both human and au...

Request forwarding is an efficient approach in discovering resources in distributed systems because it achieves one of the main goals of distributed systems namely the scalability goal. Despite achieving reasonable scalability, this approach suffers from long response times to resource requests. Several solutions such as learning-based request forwarding have tried to improve the response time ...

Although vast quantities of data are being created within higher education, few institutions have formal strategies in place for curating these research outputs in the longterm. Moreover there appears to be a lack of awareness as to exactly what data are held and whether they are being managed. In response to these concerns the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) issued a call for propos...

The review process of academic, scientific research and its basic tenets is considered, thereby distinguishing between (i) reviewing of manuscripts to be published in the scientific literature, (ii) reviewing of research proposals to be financed by funding agencies, (iii) reviewing of educational or research institutions with respect to their proper functioning, and (iv) reviewing of scientists...

the main goal of this research is the explanation and critiques of the concept of learning in paideia proposal that has been done according to adler’s view. in order to achieve this goal, the descriptive-analytic method was used. according to this research, the properties of learning in relation to the content of learning, teaching, the role of teacher, the being active in learning in paideia p...

Faculty from Virginia Tech and the University of Missouri Rolla, with support from the NSF/CRCD program, are developing a three-course sequence in wireless communications. The third course in the sequence is devoted to the simulation of communication systems. The simulation course not only provides students with the knowledge required to effectively use simulation in the design and analysis pro...

This document defines a standard mechanism for capturing the history information associated with a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request. This capability enables many enhanced services by providing the information as to how and why a SIP request arrives at a specific application or user. This document defines an optional SIP header field, History-Info, for capturing the history information ...
