Design patterns specify generic relations among abstract design elements. In the domain of physical devices, design patterns, called generic teleological mechanisms (or GTMs), specify generic functional relations and abstract causal structure of a class of devices. We describe a functional theory of acquisition, access, and use of GTMs, but focus on their use in analogical design. In this theor...

Frequent patterns are patterns such as sets of features or items that appear in data frequently. Finding such frequent patterns has become an important data mining task because it reveals associations, correlations, and many other interesting relationships hidden in a dataset. Most of the proposed frequent pattern mining algorithms have been implemented with imperative programming languages suc...

We present our approach to teaching functional programming to First Year Computer Science students at Middlesex University through projects in robotics. A holistic approach is taken to the curriculum, emphasising the connections between different subject areas. A key part of the students’ learning is through practical projects that draw upon and integrate the taught material. To support these, ...

 Understanding dependence structure and relationship between two sets of variables is of main interest in statistics. When encountering two large sets of variables, a researcher can express the relationship between the two sets by extracting only finite linear combinations of the original variables that produce the largest correlations with the second set of variables. When data are con...

Background. Wrestling is one of the most popular sports in the world. United World Wrestling have developed “Wrestling+” injury prevention program similar to the FIFA 11+. Objectives. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks “Wrestling+” warm-up program on Functional Movement Screen scores in cadet wrestlers. Methods. The study population included all cadet wrest...
