The study compared the results of three cross-sectional and large-scale group studies conducted in Cyprus, Israel, and the USA. The studies examined the acquisition of the formal schemata of control of variables, proportions, ...

The operational and sociomoral reasoning maturity of 70 congenitally deaf children was examined and compared with the respective maturity of a sensory unimpaired control sample, matched in age (7‐13 years) and socioeconomic ...

The structural correspondence between postconventional sociomoral reasoning and postformal operational skills was examined to determine whether Stage 5 moral reasoning can be considered a hard stage in the Piagetian sense, ...

n previous research on the relationships between socio-moral reasoning and political orientation, the evolving capacities in the moral-cognitive realm have been considered as the framework for the formation of different ...

Moral and cognitive reasoning (within the Piagetian theory) aspects of congenitally blind children ranging in age from 6 to 12 years were examined and compared with those of a sighted sample, matched in age and socio-economic ...

This study examined the developmental pattern of sociomoral reasoning in two different cultural settings, focusing on factors assumed to influence the course of growth in this particular domain. The specific hypotheses ...

Η πέμπτη Τροποποίηση του Συντάγματος της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας καθόρισε την επίσημη εθνική προσέγγιση της σχέσης του Συντάγματος της Κύπρου με το δίκαιο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Στο πλαίσιο του Κυπριακόυ Συντάγματος το δίκαιο ...

Η γενική σύγχυση που είναι διάχυτη παγκοσμίως σήμερα σε σχέση με την αρχιτεκτονική φαίνεται να έχει συστήσει μια κατάσταση σύμφωνα με την οποία σχεδόν οτιδήποτε, οποιαδήποτε υποτιθέμενη ιδέα, να βρίσκει μεγάλη δημοσιόmτα ...

Background: The onset of a major depressive episode is experienced by a large number of women in the weeks or months following delivery. Postpartum depression may deem those women experiencing it incapable of taking care ...

The GINSENG project develops performance-controlled wireless sensor networks that can be used for time-critical applications in hostile environments such as industrial plant automation and control. GINSENG aims at integrating ...

Plant automation and control are mission-critical applications and require timely and reliable data delivery, which is difficult to provide using a wireless technology. This is especially more difficult in industrial ...

Recent critical application sectors of sensor networks like military, health care, and industry require the use of mobile sensor nodes, something that poses unique challenges in aspects like handoff delay, packet loss, and ...

In recent years, sensor networks characteristics have led to incremental utilization in different types of applications. Several techniques have been proposed to evaluate the performance of WSNs; the two most popular being ...

Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks is considered to be of an up most importance for today's critical applications. In this paper, we present a soft mobility management solution where the mobility procedures ...

In current research studies and testbed deployments of sensor networks, individual sensor nodes are usually assumed to be static. However, recent applications require mobile sensor nodes, something that poses unique ...

In this paper, we deal with mobility management for wireless sensor networks and we focus on the first phase of a handoff procedure which is concerned with the mechanics of measuring important parameters and initiating ...

This paper examines the handover process of Mobile IPv6 in a real wireless testbed, based on IEEE 802.11b and extracts information on the actions taken by network entities during the movement of a mobile node. This work ...

This article analyses the latency components in Mobile IPv6 handovers. It provides real-implementation results for significant parts of the handover process through measurements in a real MIPv6 implementation on a wireless ...

Today’s industrial facilities, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and factories, rely on wired sensor systems to monitor and control the production processes. The deployment and maintenance of such cabled systems is ...

Mobility is one of the most important challenges in a wireless sensor system. Usually, continuous connectivity of a Mobile Node (MN) is achieved by supporting handoff from one connection point to another. In order to ...
