librarians are frequently consulted about proper citation formats and support the use of pc-based personal bibliographic citation management programs, such as endnote, often used by faculty and graduate students. recently, free or inexpensive web-based tools have been developed that create citations and format bibliographies. an analysis of citations generated by these programs shows that they ...

This chapter introduces Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) as a research tool that possesses advantages for heterodox research programs. We introduce the approach in four steps. First, we discuss the uniqueness of ABMs, which lies primarily in the flexibility to incorporate vastly heterogeneous agents and to address models with high degrees of freedom. Second, we argue that the flexibility of ABMs make...

The popularity of the object oriented programming paradigm has stimulated research into its use for parallel and distributed programming. The major issues which impact such use are concurrency control, object interfaces, binding and inheritance. This paper discusses the relative merits of current solutions to these issues and describes an approach based on the use of active objects with essenti...

Faith-based programs are one of the primary treatment options for individuals with substance use disorders. However, there is ambiguity regarding what faith-based programs are, how they differ from secular programs, and how they incorporate religion or spirituality into treatment. Furthermore, though evidence suggests faithbased programs can be as effective as other secular treatments, it is un...

This paper presents a method of extracting subprograms from background knowledge. Most studies on learning logic programs so far developed are mainly concerned with pure Prolog, so that we can not deal with programs with system predicates such as the cut symbol, true, false, and so on. Explanation-based generalization system builds an explanation and learns a concept de nition as its generaliza...
