Biological information processing: the use of information for the support of function
(Elsevier, 1989)
In biological systems, the processing and use of information has evolved out of the need for survival in the face of an uncertain environment. As a consequence, the information-function relationship in these systems is ...
A weak estimate of the fractal dimension of the Mandelbrot boundary
(Elsevier, 1989-04-17)
A technique to compute fractal dimension as defined by the Kolmogorov capacity is discussed. The method is used to compute fractal dimension for several standard curves and the boundary of the Mandelbrot set. This estimate ...
Self-avoiding random walks on multifractal lattices
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1989-04-21)
A renormalisation theory is developed to study the critical behaviour of self-avoiding random walks on multifractals. Critical exponents and connectivity constants are calculated for walks on a class of square multifractal ...
A Criterion-Referenced Approach to Measuring Medical Problem Solving
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS, INC., 1985)
A criterion-referenced approach was used to examine the validity of a set of 15 Patient Management Problems (PMPs) representing a broad range of medical problems. Results of performance of 175 medical students indicated ...
A synthetic approach to the design of information-systems software
(Elsevier, 1989-07)
This paper presents an approach to the design of information-systems software in which alternative designs can be created, as necessary, until specified requirements are met and specific objectives achieved. This approach ...
Dimensionality, internal consistency and interrater reliability of clinical performance ratings
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1987-03)
A total of 6 444 ratings of the financial performance of 4 2 4 third- and fourth-year medical students were made by house officers and attending teachers during 12 separate internal medicine rotations. Ratings were based ...
