This partnership, however, is undermined by the lack of collaboration between cooperating and university supervisors who are paired up in teaching triad help improve their skills.

Two distinct redistribution grids - adaptation techniques, spring analogy and elliptic grid generator are applied to two-dimensional steady, inviscid, shocked flows, and the ability of each technique is examined and compared. Euler equations are solved base on Roe's Reimann solver approach to simulate supersonic flow around a sphere, transonic flow about an airfoil and supersonic flow in a symm...

Knowledge acquisition is the biggest bottleneck in the development if expert systems. Fortunately, the process of translating expert knowledge to a,form suitable for expert system development can benefit from methods developed by cognitive science to reveal human knowledge structures. There are two clusses of t h i w investigative methods, direct and indirect. We provide reviews, criteria fo r ...
