    Case-based reasoning in design: An apologia

    Get PDF
    Three positions are presented and defended: the process of generating solutions in problem solving is viewable as a design task; case-based reasoning is a strong method of problem solving; and a synergism exists between case-based reasoning and design problem solving

    Case-based reasoning: The marriage of knowledge base and data base

    Get PDF
    The coupling of data and knowledge has a synergistic effect when building an intelligent data base. The goal is to integrate the data and knowledge almost to the point of indistinguishability, permitting them to be used interchangeably. Examples given in this paper suggest that Case-Based Reasoning is a more integrated way to link data and knowledge than pure rule-based reasoning

    In the 1992 and 1993 vegetation seasons, investigations were carried out on the distribution of plants from the orchid family in the area roughly corresponding to the Wyżyna Częstochowska (Częstochowa Upland) mesoregion (341.31 in the classification of Kondracki 1980). During those investigations, sites of occurrence were found for 22 species, 5 interspecific hybrids and 1 intergeneric hybrid. Of special interest are the sites of Russow’s Marsh Orchid (Dactybrhiza russowii), Violet Helleborine (Epipaclis purpurata) and Greater Butterfly Orchid (flatanihera chloraniha) as well as of aJl the nothotaxa, which have never been found in this area before.Zadanie pt. „Digitalizacja i udostępnienie w Cyfrowym Repozytorium Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego kolekcji czasopism naukowych wydawanych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki” nr 885/P-DUN/2014 dofinansowane zostało ze środków MNiSW w ramach działalności upowszechniającej naukę

    Neurocognitive Patterns, Symptom Clusters, and Premorbid Factors that Predict Protracted Recovery from Concussion in Females

    Concussion is an increasingly diagnosed injury that affects individuals of all ages. Although the underlying cause is unknown, research has demonstrated that females who sustain a concussion experience longer recoveries. Existing research has documented a relationship between age, gender, post-concussive headache and mental health conditions, and recovery; however, limited research has investigated the relationship between premorbid clinical variables and recovery. Research on post-injury neurocognitive declines and recovery has also demonstrated varied findings. Moreover, dizziness has been identified as significantly predictive of prolonged recovery, but no studies have investigated the effect of premorbid headache conditions on the development of dizziness. The goals of this study were to determine whether ( 1) premorbid mental health conditions and/or premorbid headaches and post-concussive neurocognitive patterns of decline would predict longer recovery from concussion; (2) premorbid headaches would predict post-concussive dizziness; and (3) mental health conditions would predict post-injury affective symptoms in a group of females from a specialized outpatient concussion treatment facility (N=180). Results indicated that delay in initial post-injury evaluation was most predictive of a prolonged recovery and that premorbid mental health conditions positively predicted post-injury psychiatric symptoms. These direct positive relationships existed while controlling for age at injury, prior history of concussion, and mechanism of injury. This is one of the few studies to investigate the relationship between premorbid mental health conditions and recovery, and the only study to investigate the relationship between premorbid headache conditions and (1) post-concussive dizziness and (2) prolonged recovery

    A Legacy Through Carnations

    Get PDF
    The short story, A Legacy Through Carnations, details the unique experiences of two very different women, Martha Carrier and Lillian Carrier. Martha is subjected to the religious prosecution of seventeen-century Salem, whereas Lillian is abused by her twenty-first century boyfriend. Despite the gap between their stories, the women are connected through time and space by the injustices they face at the hands of men. Thus, the short story aims to show that modern women still face many abuses and hardships, even if they don\u27t seem quite as apparent as those of the past
