Procedural modeling is a method that determines production rules and allows for developing effective structural design in architecture. Fountain (Shadirvan) an important component of Turkish architecture having symmetrical structure distinctive elements makes fountains suitable procedural modeling. In this study, we propose to different fountain models similar ones exist We specify the paramete...

The influence of procedural justice on intended innovative behavior was studied in a sample of students and employees. Although earlier studies suggests that procedural justice increases innovation-related behavior such as spontaneous cooperation, so far systematic research is scarce. Results indicated that the provision of voice increased participants’ intention to show innovative behavior suc...

BACKGROUND This study investigated procedural errors made during root canal preparation with nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging method. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 human mandibular molars were divided into five groups (n = 20) according to the NiTi system used for root canal preparation: Group 1 - BioRaCe, Group 2 - K3, Group 3 - Pr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To report the incidence of procedural complications of coiling of ruptured intracranial aneurysms leading to permanent disability or death in a consecutive series of 681 patients and to identify risk factors for these events. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1995 and July 2005, 681 consecutive patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated with detachabl...

Procedural memory, which is rooted in the basal ganglia, plays an important role in the implicit learning of motor and cognitive skills. Few studies have examined procedural learning in either Tourette syndrome (TS) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), despite basal ganglia abnormalities in both of these neurodevelopmental disorders. We aimed to assess procedural learning in chil...

This study examined the role of procedural memory in adult second language (L2) development. Participants were trained on an artificial language under either explicit or implicit conditions. Development in the L2 was assessed by grammar tests at two time points. Measures of procedural memory were administered and were used to create high and low procedural groups. Results revealed an advantage ...

In this paper we describe an approach to the automated specification of procedural textures to be used in rendering, based on representative samples. Procedural textures exhibit many advantages over traditional surface texturing techniques, but unfortunately finding the correct procedural texture and appropriate parameters to create the desired texture can be a daunting task for even the most e...
