We present the system ABTWEAK, which extends the precondition-elimination abstraction of ABSTRIPS to hierarchical planners using the nonlinear plan representation as defined in TWEAK. We show that ABTWEAK satisfies the monotonic property, whereby the existence of a lowest level solution II implies the existence of a highest level solution that is structurally similar to II. This property enable...

Cereal Chem. 86(2):197–203 This study investigated relationships between molecular weight distributions of unreduced grain proteins and grain, flour, and end-use quality characteristics of soft white winter wheats grown in Oregon. Absorbance area and area percentage values of protein fractions separated by sizeexclusion HPLC (SE-HPLC) showed significant correlations with quality characteristics...

The application of music in therapy is realised through different working modalities which can be categorised into three types of techniques: production, reception, and reproduction. These techniques are commonly used in mental health settings in music therapy practice and previous research suggests that specific working modalities might be important predictors of change in music therapy. Howev...

The treatment group received fourteen 90-min sessions of narrative therapy twice a w...

The rising number of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnoses, in addition to the ability to recognize the disorder early, has led to much interest in early intervention tools. This theoretical work examines how dance/movement therapy (DMT) might be applied to address the early developmental connections between social and communication challenges and early motor maturation in young children dia...

Western treatment protocols for psychological trauma often prescribe recitation of narratives, despite evidence that the human brain’s storage of traumatic memories undermines verbalization. Creative arts therapists overcome this paradox in trauma recovery through nonlinguistic communication. Ethnographic research among holistic groups that rely on cultural rites, rather than words, as instrume...
