A genetic algorithm applied to the fractal inverse problem
… number of parameters. The associated inverse problem, finding a set of parameters which reconstructs a given fractal, is much more difficult. This paper explores the possibility of solving the inverse program with the genetic algorithm.

Examining the Creative Process of Visual Artists: A Phenomenological Study
<p>Creativity fuels problem solving and innovation, driving both economic growth and individual success. Yet, many schools and organizations fail to nurture it. Today, there is a decline in creativity scores among U.S. students. This is concerning since many of these students will be the future …

Creativity quotient: a statistical instrument for combining cognitive and personality components of creative thinking
… cognitive components in order of importance were problem finding, original problem solving, general problem solving, knowledge, and attentiveness to detail. Lack of conformity was suggested to be the most important personality component. Measures of these components of creative thinking were …

Hooking the big idea: Working titles in creative problem solving by young Latino adolescents
Problem representation/problem finding skills are frequently the catalyst facilitating adroit knowledge base access and subsequent positive creative outcomes in adult populations. To determine whether judged creativity is similarly enhanced through young adolescents' use of a working title …

Managing Patient Care: A Substantive Theory of Clinical Decision Making in Home Health Care Nursing
… has three components. First, it embodies the problem solving process with the phases of problem finding and problem management. Problem finding consists of the cognitive processes and decisions of cue searching and inferring patient problems, while problem management consists of planning, …

An Empirical Investigation of Performance Measurement System Use and Organizational Performance
… use practices into five dimensions: monitoring, problem-finding, problem-solving, validating causal relationships, and validating improvement actions. Additionally, new measures were developed to assess PM and RP maturity factors. The factor analysis results identified four maturity variables: …

User information satisfaction (UIS) and user productivity: an empirical examination
… were tested with multiple regression. The findings can be summarized as follows: 1. Satisfaction with computer processing was correlated with making better operating budget decisions for both groups and helping academic users track activities in research, grant and designated gift accounts. …

Functions with minimal number of critical points
… distract the attention from the original problem: finding crit(M) the minimal number of critical points of a smooth function on a given smooth manifold M. Only Cornea in 1998 analyzed the notion of crit, originally introduced by Takens in 1968. Inspired by Takens' paper and by Morse theory …

Improved approaches to the indirect force determination problems via experimental modal analysis
Solving the inverse problem, finding the applied forces knowing the system characteristics and the response, has been a difficult problem in structural dynamics. Insufficient accuracy in the system identification and uncorrelated content in the response exacerbate the ill-conditioned nature of the …

The Effectiveness of Interior Design Students' Study Drawings in the Design Process
… the student and the sketches created during problem finding and problem solving in the design process. This conversation allows the student to progress through the design process manipulating both the drawn image on paper and the visualization that occurs in their mind until a fitting …

Metaheuristics and machine learning for joint stratification and sample allocation in survey design
… the joint stratification and sample allocation problem. Finding the optimal solution to this problem is hard when the sampling frame is large, and the evaluation algorithm is computationally burdensome. To advance the research in this area, we explore and evaluate different algorithmic methods …

Orion – A Machine Learning Framework for Unsupervised Time Series Anomaly Detection
… algorithms alone only solve one aspect of the problem – finding anomalies. Existing systems often fail to encompass an end-to-end detection process, to facilitate comparative analysis of various anomaly detection methods, or to incorporate human knowledge to refine output. This precludes …

New design companions opening up the process through self-made computation
… inflexible built-in structure targeting general problem-solving that can interfere with non-standard design needs. Today, those with programming agility look for customized processes that assist early problem-finding instead of converging solutions. Contributing to alleviate software …
