The basic "Engineering Design Model" (adapted from pbs.org) comprising Problem, Brainstorm, Design, Build, Test, Redesign, leading iteratively to Solution, was discussed prior to the working of the problem, with students labeling the model in their workbooks.
As a consequence, we generalize the early efforts of knowledge based systems researchers e.g. [21, 24] and view a knowledge-based system (KBS) as comprising problem solving methods and a suitable sets of ontologies.
These principles are then discussed in relation to agent coordination in the domains of E-Science, future combat systems, and medicine, which typify real-world environments comprising problem solving systems.
Based on empirical findings, the following syndrome scales are constructed, comprising problem-items that tend to occur together: anxious/depression, withdrawn/depression, somatic complaints, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, and rule-breaking behavior.
Young person's variables comprised conduct problems at 11 years (score of 0 1/2 3/4+ on the conduct problems subscale of the maternal-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [ 21]; and experience of bullying measured during the 13 years clinic (self-report) [ 22].
In contrast, ADHD is a chronic disorder comprising problems with attention and concentration, combined with behavioural symptoms such as hyperactivity/restlessness and impulsivity [ 2].
Questions from the Program for International Student Assessment PISAA) developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2004) were used to design two problem-solving tests (1 and 2) comprising four problems (six questions) each.
The seven symptom scales comprise micturition problems, symptoms in the area of the gastrointestinal tract, chemotherapy side effects, problems with defecation, stoma-related problems, male and female sexual problems, and one single item on weight loss.
The vast range of topics comprises the problems found in nonequilibrium thermodynamics (described by classical or extended entropies), transport theory in continua (reversible or irreversible), elasticity theory, and the theory of propagation of chemical fronts.
However, measurements of these parameters "in vacuum" conditions comprises some problems so that they are commonly carried out in ambient conditions assuming that the response of the porous material is not influenced by its fluid phase and solely determined by the parameters of its solid phase.
