Systems Theory Based Framework for Competency Models
… development models. The literature of systems theory is applied to the concept of competency models via inductive theory building using Whewell's Discoverer's Induction supported by the structure of grounded theory. A competency model framework was developed that represents a distillation and …

Theory-based learning in humans and machines
… is an instantiation of a more general approach, Theory-Based Reinforcement Learning, which we believe can underlie the development of human-level agents that may eventually learn and act adaptively in the real world.

Supersymmetry, supergravity, and String Theory based inflationary cosmology
… and present an overview of inflationary theory. As part of this effort, the main motivations for cosmic inflation, which are known as problems in the standard big bang scenario, are reviewed. These problems are the "flatness problem", "horizon problem", and the "monopole problem." …

Evaluation of a Theory-Based Farm to School Program
… in MS children remain lower than recommended. Theory-based, multi-component nutrition education interventions like Farm to School (F2S) target FV consumption and utilize such interventions to improve children’s dietary behaviors by incorporating nutrition and agriculture education. The current …

Systems Theory Based Architecture Framework for Complex System Governance
… of this research was to develop a systems theory based framework for complex system governance using grounded theory approach. Motivation for this research includes: 1) the lack of research that identifies modeling characteristics for complex system governance, 2) the lack of a framework …

Theory based design and evaluation of multimedia presentation interfaces
… tools to address these problems. The thesis is based on an analysis of the cognitive processes of attending to and comprehending an MM presentation. A design method is then developed based on these cognitive processes. The method addressesth e problem of selecting media to presenting information …

A theory based stochastic investment model for actuarial use
… growth. The model is consistent with economic theory, adequately fits past data, and is relatively parsimonious compared with other models. A series of assumptions about the causal relationships between inflation, economic growth and interest rates are made based on standard economic theory. It …

Wave Theory based Extensions to Standard Room-acoustic Particle Models
In dieser Arbeit wurde die Anwendung von leistungsfähigen numerischen Methoden wie Finite Elemente Methode (FEM) und Randelementmethode (BEM) auf die Erweiterung von existierenden Schallpartikelmodellen untersucht. Es wurde für niedrige Frequenzen gezeigt, wie man die Wellenart des Schalls …

Schema Theory-based Computational Approach to Support Children's Conceptual Understanding
… to children requires supporting their reasoning based on concrete objects and ideas. Human tutors normally use some dialogue to introduce new concepts and tailor the explanations to the prior knowledge of the children. There is a lack of interactive pedagogical agents that guide children's …

Reasoning in criminal intelligence analysis through an argumentation theory-based framework
… reasoning process and offers an argumentation theory-based framework as a means to support that reasoning process in software applications. Researchers have extensively researched specific areas of criminal intelligence analysts’ sensemaking and reasoning processes over the decades. However, …

Systematic calibration of a theory-based transport model of tokamak plasmas
… from seven different tokamaks. The transport theory includes neoclassical, $\rm drift/\eta\sb{i},$ circulating electron mode, kinetic ballooning, neoclassical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), and resistive ballooning effects. An important feature of this study is a reproducible simulation …

A theory-based investigation of leisure time physical activity among college students
… activity behavior of college students using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and two constructs, descriptive norm and self-efficacy, from the Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM). A sample of college students (n = 621) from a large, public university in the southeastern United States …

Functional Imagery Training, a novel, theory-based motivational intervention for weight-loss
… intervention for weight-management. FIT is based on Elaborated Intrusion Theory, delivered in the style of Motivational interviewing (MI), and designed to promote sustained behaviour change and address cravings. It trains the habitual use of affective, goal-directed mental imagery of …

Systems Theory-Based Construct for Identifying Metasystem Pathologies for Complex System Governance
… of this research was to develop a systems theory-based construct for metasystem pathologies identification in support of the problem formulation phase of systems-based methodologies using an inductive research design. Problem formulation has been identified as one of the most critical …

A theory-based evaluation of the implementation of a purveyor type programme
The study serves as an example of a theory-based evaluation of a "real life" programme, highlights the strengths and weakness of this evaluation approach, and provides direction for future research on programmes that employ the purvey or method to distribute evidence-based programmes.

Mechanics of Boron Nitride Nanotubes: A Continuum Theory Based on the Interatomic Potential
A hybrid atomistic/continuum model based on the interatomic potential for boron nitride is also developed to study the Stone-Wales transformation (90° rotation of an atomic bond) in boron nitride nanotubes under tension. It is found that the critical strains for Stone-Wales transformation for …

Acceptability of a Social Learning Theory-based parenting programme to South African parents
… Lifelong Health programme, is a digital, group-based family-strengthening initiative aimed at improving parenting skills, delivered through WhatsApp. Programme acceptability was operationally defined as whether parents had used techniques taught, or were likely to use them. Conducted in four …
