The Real World Computing (RWC) program is starting this year on a large scale as the successor to the Fifth Generation Computer project which formally ended in 1992. This is the next Japanese national project launched by M I T I (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) with a budget of over $ 500 million for ten years The reason why we dare call it "program" is that we intend to pursue mo...

the aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of a highly water/soluble drug, salbutamol sulphate by (water in oil) in oil emulsion technique using ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. various processing and formulation parameters such as drug/polymer ratio, stirring speed, volume of processing medium were optimized to maximize the e...

The study assessed the auditory processing abilities and the cognitive skills in children with specific learning disability. It investigates the top-down or bottom-up influence on auditory processing. Using a test battery approach, the association between cognitive skills (verbal working memory and attention) and auditory processing abilities (auditory closure, binaural integration and temporal...

improving the quality of medical images at pre and post-surgery operations are necessary for beginning and speeding up the recovery process. partial differential equations (pdes)-based models have become a powerful and well known tool in different areas of image processing such as denoising, multiscale image analysis, edge detection and other fields of image processing and computer vision. in t...

Background: The social information processing model is one of the most up-to-date cognitive models in the field of interpersonal interactions. This social-interaction-based model can be successfully used to investigate the reasons for emotional and behavioral problems and prevent them in children and adolescents. Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of the ...

The notion of $f$-derivations of UP-algebras is introduced, some useful examples are discussed, and related properties are investigated. Moreover, we show that the fixed set and the kernel of $f$-derivations are UP-subalgebras of UP-algebras,and also give examples to show that the two sets are not UP-ideals of UP-algebras in general.
