EMI2lets: A Reflective Framework for Enabling AmI
"... Abstract: An interesting new application domain for handheld devices may be represented by Ambient Intelligence (AmI), where they can be used as intermediaries between us and our surrounding environment. Thus, mobile devices, which always accompany us, will behave as electronic butlers who assist us ..."

Conversation as Experiential Learning
, 2005
"... This article proposes a framework relevant to the continuous learning of individuals and organizations. Drawing from the theory of experiential learning, the article proposes conversational learning as the experiential learning process occurring in conversation as learners construct meaning from t ..."

their experiences. A theoretical framework based on five process dialectics is proposed here as the foundational under-pinning of conversational learning. The five dialectics—apprehension and comprehension; reflection and action; epistemological discourse and ontological recourse; individuality and relationality
A Comparative Anatomy of Credit-Risk Models
- Journal of Banking and Finance
"... Within the past two years, important advances have been made in modeling credit risk at the portfolio level. Practitioners and policy makers have invested in implementing and exploring a variety of new models individually. Less progress has been made, however, with comparative analyses. Direct compa ..."

comparison often is not straightforward, because the different models may be presented within rather different mathematical frameworks. This paper offers a comparative anatomy of two especially influential benchmarks for credit risk models, J.P. Morgan’s CreditMetrics and Credit Suisse Financial Product’s
Coil sensitivity encoding for fast MRI. In:
- Proceedings of the ISMRM 6th Annual Meeting,
, 1998
"... New theoretical and practical concepts are presented for considerably enhancing the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by means of arrays of multiple receiver coils. Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) is based on the fact that receiver sensitivity generally has an encoding effect complementa ..."

steps in Fourier imaging by using a very large number of receivers. Kwiat et al. (4) proposed a similar concept in 1991. In 1989 Kelton et al. In all contributions procedures for image reconstruction were derived. However, applications of the concepts noted have not been reported, reflecting
Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,
- Annu. Rev. Psychol.
, 2006
"... ■ Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."
