Article history: Received 7 November 2012 Available online 4 February 2013 We examined how affective (AC), normative (NC), perceived sacrifice (PS), and few alternatives (FA) commitments combine to form profiles and determine turnover intention and turnover.We theorized that three mechanisms account for how profiles operate, i.e., the degree to which membership is internally regulated, the perc...

This paper develops a new and natural parallel vector model, and shows that for all k ≥ 1, the languages recognizable in O(log n) time and polynomial work in the model are exactly those in NC. Some improvements to other simulations in parallel models and reversal complexity are given.

Objective(s): Fabrication of scaffolds with improved mechanical properties and favorable cellular compatibility is crucial for many tissue engineering applications. This study was aimed to improve mechanical and biological properties of polycaprolactone (PCL), which is a common biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer in tissue engineering. Nanofibrillated chitosan (NC) was used as a n...

Virtual Manufacturing is a concept of executing manufacturing processes in computer environment as well as in the real word. This paper deals with the NC programming verification processes. It describes the main levels of simulation tasks. The second part of this paper focuses on the object oriented modelling and simulation architecture for simulation of NC machining operation. In this area som...

The purpose of natural cognitive systems appears to be to allow the organism to respond more rapidly to it’s environment and thus survive. This is achieved in two ways. First there are reflexes, the built-in actions an organism will take to stimulus. The second is the prediction of what the future state of the immediate environment will be and thus avoid harmful situations. The greater the inte...
