Action calculi have been deened as a broad class of action structures with added structure; they are syntactic in nature. Each action calculus AC(K) is determined essentially by a set K of controls. Diierent concrete models of concurrent computation such as Petri nets, the typed-calculus and the-calculus, are obtained by diierent choices of control set K. The aim of this work is to deene a clas...

Obesity is a Health issue around the world. Obesity is not limited to body weight, generally associated with low grade inflammation and with a cluster of disorders generally referred to as "metabolic syndrome". Regarding obesity and relapse, long-term concentration was set on the hypothalamus. Most recently,obesity- Originated neuroinflammation has been shown to affect other brain str...

Agent-based control structures provide flexible and emergent solutions to complex nonlinear problems benefiting from properties such as modularity, adaptability, scalability and robustness. One such problem is product grade transitions in distributed process. The framework proposed earlier (Tetiker, 2006a) is extended by adding several layers of agents to control species percentage distribution...

OBJECTIVES A prediction model of performance in physical disabilities fieldwork was generated with grades received in the occupational therapy curriculum and in prerequisite courses. METHOD Grades included those from functional anatomy, neuroanatomy, physical disabilities lecture, physical disabilities clinic, and prerequisite anatomy and physiology courses. Sampling was done collectively ove...

AIM To evaluate daily-written 10-question quizzes in a medical anatomy course as a way to integrate assessment into the course and to evaluate their effect on the course success. METHODS Students answering correctly 8/10 or more questions were awarded 0.5 points per quiz. There were 34 quizzes with a maximum point score 17. Measurable outcomes of academic progress in anatomy course (pass rate...
