The viable system model (VSM) and organisation theory : a complementary approach to the case of a pharmaceutical manufacturer
… between Beer's viable system model (VSM) and mainstream functionalist organisation theory.The latter is taken to include the classical, behavioural and systems models of organisation. For completeness, we also consider organisation theory situated in the interpretive, radical humanist …

Lifetime of Human Visual Sensory Memory: Properties and Neural Substrate
… the transient decay of visual sensory memory (VSM, also known as iconic memory). A model was developed to isolate the VSM and visual working memory (VWM) underlying the partial-report performance. The decay of VSM in each subject was well characterized by a single exponential function, thus a …

The Applicability of Video Self-Modeling for Adults With Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities
Video Self-Modeling (VSM) has shown to be an effective intervention in modifying maladaptive behaviors in children, particularly those with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD). Although the effectiveness of VSM with children with ID/DD has been well established in the extant …

Using video self-modelling to teach new skills to children with social interaction and and communication difficulties
Video self-modelling (VSM) is a behavioural intervention in which an observer views a short video of him/herself engaged in adaptive behaviour, in order to learn the behaviour and reproduce it more frequently, fluently or appropriately. While the past three decades have seen research in different …

The effectiveness of video self-modeling to teach play and adaptive skills to a young preschooler with developmental disabilities
Video self-modeling (VSM) has been used successfully to teach play and communication skills to children with autism over age 4. Research has demonstrated a need to evaluate the effectiveness of VSM with younger children, as well as to assess which types of behaviors/skills can be taught through …

Integrating Value Stream Mapping and Simulation
… in Lean manufacturing, value stream mapping (VSM) can be helpful in understanding how process flow and information flow affect each other. A VSM is a static picture of a process that allows the user to see where value is added into the value stream. Simulation is used to evaluate the …

The Effects of Video Self-Modeling on Functional Life Skills in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… assessed the effects of the video self-modeling (VSM) teaching method on functional life skills for three high school students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a home setting. VSM is a teaching method in which an individual views a video clip, watching herself/himself engaging in a task …

Study of Systematic Error in Biaxial Torque, and Magnetic Characterization of Strontium Ferrite
… indirectly with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). While most TMs operate only at room temperature, a biaxial VSM can measure torque at various temperatures. VSM torque curves often show a 2θ background due to sample misalignments or asymmetry, caused by the sensitivity matrix's position …

Process flow improvement using value stream mapping to reduce waste and lead time in Malaysia healthcare
The implementation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) method in healthcare institutions has started since the 1990s, mainly to fulfill the current need for an improved quality and efficiency in delivering services. However, the application of VSM in Malaysia healthcare institutions is still at an early …

Role of semantic indexing for text classification.
The Vector Space Model (VSM) of text representation suffers a number of limitations for text classification. Firstly, the VSM is based on the Bag-Of-Words (BOW) assumption where terms from the indexing vocabulary are treated independently of one another. However, the expressiveness of natural …
