Is Analysis And Design

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of logical tools such as inference trees and columnar data flow diagrams in the information system (IS) analysis and design context. Seventeen students at an institution of higher education were observed during the design and analysis of information systems and their experiences were evaluated through a focus group interview, observations and documents analysis. This research was based on a qualitative, action research approach (Yin 1994; Merriam 1998). The most important findings were: the columnar method empowers students’ motivational and cognitive skills enhancing their vision and system design skills; inference trees improve detection and correction of reasoning errors overcoming students’ limited information processing capacity.

Background: Reinforced concrete silos and bunkers are commonly used structures for large storage of different materials. These structures are highly vulnerable when subjected to intense seismic forces. Available guidelines for analysis and design of these structures require special design skills and code procedures. Objective: The current study is aimed to elaborate the design procedures from different sources to a unified method, which can be applied to a larger class of reinforced concrete silos. In this study, analysis and design procedures are summarized and presented in a simplified form to make sure the efficient practical design applications of reinforced concrete silos. Method: Four different cases of silo design based on the type and weight of stored material were considered for the study. For each case, the silo was designed using given design procedure and modeled using FEM-based computer package. All of the reinforced concrete silos were subjected to gravity, wind and seismic forces. Results: After performing the analysis and design of different silos, the bending moment, shear force and axial forces profiles were given for a sample silo. The results obtained from the proposed design procedure were compared with FEM values for different components of silos such as slab, wall and hopper. Conclusion: The comparison of tangential and longitudinal forces, bending moments, shear forces and reinforcement ratios of different parts of silos have shown a fair agreement with the FEM model results. It motivates to use the proposed design procedure for an efficient design of reinforced concrete silos.

This research examines what skills are needed by legacy newspaper hiring editors of their new employees hired after journalism school, including writing and reporting skills for print and online, coding, data scrubbing and analysis, and design skills. Moreover, this article highlights, for the first time, that the perceived disconnect between legacy newspaper editors and journalism academic administrators is, in fact, real.

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using flipped learning strategy in developing skills of programmatic algorithms analysis and design for eleventh grade students/ technology stream in Palestine, in a unit introduced in the Programming and its Development contained in the book of Programming and Automation part 2. The researcher used the one- group- based experimental design in the pretest- posttest. The research sample consisted of (17) eleventh grade students/ technology stream in one of the schools belonging to Qabatia Directorate of Education, in the academic year 2019/2020. A test of "programmatic algorithms analysis and design" skills was prepared. After applying tools and materials of the research, results showed a statistically significant difference between the two grade averages of the students in the pretest and posttest, in favor of the posttest. In addition, flipped learning strategy proved its effectiveness, according to Black- Scholes Equation, in developing skills of programmatic algorithms analysis and design among students. The researcher introduced a number recommendations, including employment of flipped learning strategy in teaching information technology and applied sciences curricula in general, and Programming and Automation in particular, as well as conducting further studies related to this research.

Referential Expressions

Purpose Speakers adjust referential expressions to the listeners' knowledge while communicating, a phenomenon called “audience design.” While individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) show difficulties in discourse production, it is unclear whether they exhibit preserved partner-specific audience design. The current study examined if individuals with AD demonstrate partner-specific audience design skills. Method Ten adults with mild-to-moderate AD and 12 healthy older adults performed a referential communication task with two experimenters (E1 and E2). At first, E1 and participants completed an image-sorting task, allowing them to establish shared labels. Then, during testing, both experimenters were present in the room, and participants described images to either E1 or E2 (randomly alternating). Analyses focused on the number of words participants used to describe each image and whether they reused shared labels. Results During testing, participants in both groups produced shorter descriptions when describing familiar images versus new images, demonstrating their ability to learn novel knowledge. When they described familiar images, healthy older adults modified their expressions depending on the current partner's knowledge, producing shorter expressions and more established labels for the knowledgeable partner (E1) versus the naïve partner (E2), but individuals with AD were less likely to do so. Conclusions The current study revealed that both individuals with AD and the control participants were able to acquire novel knowledge, but individuals with AD tended not to flexibly adjust expressions depending on the partner's knowledge state. Conversational inefficiency and difficulties observed in AD may, in part, stem from disrupted audience design skills.
