The EPIC (Executive Process-Interactive Control) cognitive architecture developed by Kieras and Meyer (1997) works especially well for modeling perceptual-motor intensive tasks, multiple tasks, and complex multimodal task environments with many objects and events. The underlying theory has inspired fundamental empirical work and influenced other cognitive architectures. This tutorial presents a...

Poor scalability of Superscalar architectures with increasing instruction-level parallelism (ilp) has resulted in a trend towards statically scheduled horizontal architectures such as Very Large Instruction Word (vliw) processors and their more sophisticated successors called Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (epic) architectures. We extend the epic model with additional capabilities to...

Since the original publication of Archilochus’ First Cologne Epode (fr. 196a W), scholars have noted the poem’s structural and thematic similarities to epic seduction scenes 2 . However, such discussions have tended either simply to observe the existence of these parallels, or to use them to argue that the action of the Archilochean poem must conform to that of the earlier models 3 . Yet this a...

OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which increases the risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Some argue that MetS is not a single disorder because the traditional MetS features do not represent one entity, and they would like to exclude features from MetS. Others would like to add additiona...

PURPOSE Although the quality of life (QoL) of prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a major issue, there is no unified and useful methodology for assessing QoL. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a globally used tool to measure QoL after PCa treatment that comprises urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal domains. Acknowledging the need for such a tool applicable to Korean PCa pati...

Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) are established means for institutions to improve patient outcomes while reducing the emergence of resistant bacteria. With the increased adoption and evolution of electronic medical records (EMRs), there is a need to assimilate the tools of ASPs into EMRs, using decision support and feedback. Third-party software vendors provide the mainstay for integr...

This paper describes a method of integrating remotely sensed data (the MODIS LAI product) with an ecosystem model (the spatial EPIC model) to estimate crop yield in North China. The traditional productivity simulations based on crop models are normally sitespecific. To simulate regional crop productivity, the spatial crop model is developed firstly in this study by integrating Geographical Info...
