Abstract We present some parts of our Maths for Engineers teaching concept: above all, motivation: sometimes mathematics teachers observe that engineering students, example, perceive the maths concepts as a useless evil them and therefore learn with little motivation sustainability. When are later used in other subjects, students do not know how to apply value education very highly. solve probl...

evaluating the role of organization and management in appearing deviant workplace behaviors which expose organizational norms to variation and cause a threat for the well-being of the organization and its members is an important subject. the relevant researches have categorized these behaviors to various kinds such as individual and organizational deviance, constructive and destructive deviance...

This paper presents an implementation of cooperative behaviors based on Cohen’s and Levesque’s Joint Commitment Theory through Petri Net Plans. Petri Net Plans formalism is used for the design of multi-robot plans, embodying the guidelines for the design of teamwork provided by the theory. Petri Net Plans are able to represent complex plans in highly dynamic, partially observable and unpredicta...

Health behaviors occur within a milieu of lifestyle activities that could conflict with health actions. We examined whether cognitions about, and performance of, other lifestyle activities augment the prediction of health behaviors, and whether these lifestyle factors are especially influential among individuals with low health behavior engagement. Participants (N = 211) completed measures of p...

Checkpointing of parallel applications can be used as the core technology to provide process migration. Both, checkpointing and migration, are an important issue for parallel applications on networks of workstations. The CoCheck environment which we present in this paper introduces a new approach to provide checkpointing and migration for parallel applications. In difference to existing systems...

Introduction. Many everyday tasks are complex and require the coordination of one or more individuals. Such tasks can be relatively simple like passing a ball to a friend during a game of catch, while others are more complex such as performing a life-saving surgery where surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses all work together in a multi-person team [1]. Such coordination requires the appropria...

We describe traffic flows in one lane roadways using kinetic theory, with special emphasis on the role of quenched randomness in the velocity distributions. When passing is forbidden, growing clusters are formed behind slow cars and the cluster velocity distribution is governed by an exact Boltzmann equation which is linear and has an infinite memory. The distributions of the cluster size and t...

Process algebra provides essential tools for studying distributed and concurrent systems. Stochastic process algebra (i.e., YAWN ) enhances the process algebra with stochastic extensions which is perfect to analyze phenomena of process with executing durations in the real world. What’s more, in system runs, value passing is tightly bounded with their processes. However, stochastic process algeb...

Earthquake and its catastrophic failures has been one of the disturbance worry of Civil Engineers. In geotechnical science, liquefaction is one of the most important phenomenons induced by earthquake. A change in pore water pressure follows a change in effective stress, and in a critical state in which pore water pressure equals the total stress in soil particles, soil strength is suddenly lost...
