1. AN IN DIRECT METHOD FOR INCREASING THE RATE OF SOCIAL INTERACTION IN AN AUTISTIC CHILD.

Abstract

This article presents information on an indirect method for increasing the rate of social interaction in autistic child. This article will address only one dimension of the autistic syndrome, the characteristically low frequency of social interaction. The problem of low rates of social interaction has been investigated not only in relation to autistic children but with other types of populations as well. Social scientists increased the number of social interaction of three withdrawn mental patients by prompting and directly reinforcing such behavior. The tedious process of prompting and shaping social speech, however, is unnecessary in cases in which the relevant skills are already in the S's repertoire, but are manifested at a very low rate.

2. Crystallization limits of the two-term Yukawa potentials based on the entropy criterion.

Abstract

We examine the fluid-solid transition for the potential with two Yukawa terms (one attractive and the other repulsive) and a hard core by exploration of the parameter space of (K1, Z1, and Z2), i.e., the parameters of interaction strength and interaction ranges, respectively. We apply the single-phase crystallization rule of Giaquinta and Giunta (1992) by searching for the conditions where the residual entropy reaches zero. To obtain accurate entropy properties, we adopt the self-consistent closure theory of the zero-separation genre. This closure gives accurate thermodynamic properties. The Ornstein–Zernike equation is solved to obtain the correlation functions. The structure factor S(q) is examined with respect to its cluster-cluster peak, whose value is another indication of phase transition according to Hansen and Verlet (1969). We discover that the parameter Z1 (which determines the range of attractive forces) is important in crystal formation, so long as sufficient attraction (parameter K1) is present. If the range of attraction is too narrow, strength alone is not adequate to satisfy the Giaquinta rule or to solidify at given concentration and temperature. The control of the range of repulsion rests with the Z2-parameter. Its variations can bring about a high peak in S(q) at zero wave number (i.e., at q=0). Implications for the crystallization of protein and colloidal solutions are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Voice Says It All in the Navy.

Author

Paper, David J., Rodger, James A., and Simon, Steven J.

Subjects
*AUTOMATIC speech recognition, *HUMAN voice, *SPEECH, *SPEECH processing systems
Abstract

The article focuses on voice technology being developed by the U.S. Navy. The commercial potential for voice technology innovations currently being developed by the U. S. Navy is immense. Although speech technology has existed for two decades, widespread use is a recent phenomenon. Following improvements in accuracy, speed, portability, and high-noise operation, the development of speech dictation and recognition applications by the private sector, federal agencies, and armed services has increased. The Naval Voice Interactive Device (NVID) prototype is a compact, mobile computing device that includes voice interactive technology, stylus screen input capability, and an indoor-readable display that enables shipboard medical personnel to complete environmental survey checklists, view reference materials related to these checklists, manage tasks, and generate reports using the collected data. Despite current limitations in speech technology, the NVID prototype was successful in reducing the time needed to complete inspections, supporting local reporting requirements, and allowing corpsmen to complete surveys expeditiously. The potential of this type of innovation is immense for commercial industry, public medical industry and also manufacturing and services industry. Widespread adoption of these and related technologies across industry and consumer applications is certain to result in timesavings, convenience, and safety.

4. INTEGRATING ERP: IN THE BUSINESS SCHOOL CURRICULUM.

Author

Becerra-Fernandez, Irma, Murphy, Kenneth E., and Simon, Steven J.

Subjects
*BUSINESS education, *ENTERPRISE resource planning, *INFORMATION resources management, *RESOURCE allocation, *INFORMATION technology, *BUSINESS planning
Abstract

This article focuses on the implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) into business education. The demand of trained enterprise resource planning professionals has motivated a number of universities to join alliances with ERP software vendors such as SAP. Students are required to obtain hands-on experience with the technical tools that serve to administer and analyze these processes within the enterprise. To achieve the goal of integrated curriculum through ERP an incremental approach was taken in order to gain requisite skills with the ERP system while developing new coursework. To reach goal of integrated curriculum oriented education through ERP, faculty must develop coursework on core business processes, rather than along functional areas. An ERP vendor may selectively choose university partners to be application service providers who will develop, support and provide system and associated coursework to other university partners who will buy Internet-based access. This capability will open the opportunity for universities with limited resources to become users of ERP services in the classroom, avoiding the expense of purchasing hardware, supporting the system, and gaining the required expertise.
