Other studies focus on the process of coping with dependency and on the identification of strategies developed by the elderly to adapt to their situation [ 13] by redefining the concepts of autonomy and control [ 14].
The psychological dimension of the pain and its relief was addressed by measurement of depression, coping ability and dependency.
Psychological attributes of the pain experience were measured by investigating levels of depression, overall quality of life, coping ability and dependency on others.
To cope with the dependency of node-link adjacency matrix on new links, travel time function is appropriately modified.
These questions used the 11-point scales with 0 to represent no depression, no dependency or no interference with coping ability due to pain and 10 to represent maximal imaginable depression, dependency or maximal interference with coping ability due to pain.
Effective integration requires the development of a new collaborative approach to governance that is designed to cope with scale dependencies and interactions, uncertainty and contested knowledge, and interdependency among diverse and unequal interests.
For the biomedical domain, it is not only crucial to cope with ontological dependencies between wholes and their parts but also with specific reasoning patterns which underlie the propagation of roles across partonomic hierarchies.
Although several methods have been published to unravel the hierarchical structure of regulatory networks, weaknesses such as the incorrect or inconsistent assignment of elements to their hierarchical levels, the incapability to cope with cyclic dependencies within the networks or the need for a manual curation to retrieve non-overlapping levels remain unsolved.
While distance does not explicitly enter in these models, it is one of the key parameters defining the spatial weight matrix (19), which represents the neighborhood definition, hence the model's ability to cope with spatial dependencies, and ultimately the reliability of the model estimates.
The present paper proposes an adaptive system capable of coping with all the parameter setting dependencies.
