(cont.) which is expected, given their additional knowledge resources. The respondents' urgency in looking for the relevant knowledge is the primary explanation for this difference between the two networks. This difference in knowledge networking among the different groups did not…

Good command of anatomy is a basic requirement for studying and practicing clinical disciplines. A common difficulty that faces many medical and dental students (at least this was the case with the author) is how to keep their knowledge of…

his dissertation analyzes how local knowledge improves environmental decisions. The premise is that controlling pollution and addressing public health disparities are not problems that professionals alone can solve. Concerned lay publics, especially low-income populations and people of color that experience…

The paper presents a curriculum model used as a theoretical framework to analyse classroom practice in Icelandic and Science in the context of national tests in Iceland. The model represents a synthesis of literature about curriculum, teachers’ conceptions, pedagogical content…

The goal of this article is to present the first results of a study looking forward to propose a model of software development for a physically distributed environment (United States and Brazil). Thus, the objective is to combine empirical and…

Ontologies are key components in the development of the SemanticWeb, as they
provide a shared understanding of a domain. However, acquiring the knowledge
needed to construct ontologies is a costly task that requires much time and
many resources. This…

Most neural network learning algorithms cannot use knowledge other than what is provided in the training data. Initialized using random weights, they cannot use prior knowledge such as knowledge stored in previously trained networks. This manuscript thesis addresses this problem.…

Introduction: The use of computer-generated 3-dimensional (3-D) anatomical models to teach anatomy has proliferated. However, there is little evidence that these models are educationally effective. The purpose of this study was to test the educational effectiveness of a computer-generated 3-D…
