	Health System Model Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The model was then used to explore different scenarios, including the introduction of capitation in the form of payment by number of patients rather than by treatments, epidemics, and policies for physician growth reduction.
		The five main sectors of the model were the nursing and physician work forces, hospitals, the patient population, and the insurance industry.
		The model was calibrated to 1970-1992 data from multiple sources at a national scale.

	Road Sedimentation Model - Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The structure of the model is flexible enough to easily adopt it to forest lands in northern California.
		The model was run on Caspar creek to evaluate the contribution of roads as part of the basin's sediment budget and to assist in identifying roads that produce relatively high amounts of sediment.
		Model results suggest that while the ratio of road sediment to background sediment is fairly high (2x), less than half of the roads are expected to contribute significant sediment to streams and an even smaller portion of road segments would be considered chronic sources.

	Model (abstract) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An abstract model (or conceptual model) is a theoretical construct that represents something, with a set of variables and a set of logical and quantitative relationships between them.
		Abstract models are used primarily as a reusable tool for discovering new facts, for providing systematic logical arguments as explicatory or pedagogical aids, for evaluating hypotheses theoretically, and for devising experimental procedures to test them.
		Esthetic considerations that may influence the structure of a model might be the modeller's preference for a reduced ontology, preferences regarding probabilistic models vis-a-vis deterministic ones, discrete vs continuous time etc. For this reason users of a model need to understand the model's original purpose and the assumptions of its validity.

	UTR#17: Character Encoding Model
		Abstract characters that have the same GCGID in two different coded character sets are by definition the same character.
		In that case, the abstract character repertoire for the character map is the union of the repertoires covered by the coded character sets involved.
		ISO/IEC TR 19769 extends the model used in ISO C and C++ by recommending the use of two typedefs and a minimal extension to the support for character literals and runtime library.

	An introduction to Model Driven Architecture
		The models may be developed as a precursor to implementing the physical system, or they may be derived from an existing system or a system in development as an aid to understanding its behavior.
		Models are frequently used as the basis for discussion, communication, and analysis among teams within a single organization, or across multi-organizational projects.
		These models and their refinements are a critical part of the development methodology for situations that include refinements between models representing different aspects of the system, addition of further details to a model, or conversion between different kinds of models.

	Abstract Machine Model \| Sequoia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sequoia's abstract machine model is very different to C's abstract machine model, with the most fundamental difference being the fact that rather than a single global memory space, there are multiple independent memory spaces exposed to the program.
		Note that the same physical processor may be modeled as being both a processing element and a control processor.
		The basic idea behind the Sequoia machine model is that there are a set of high-performance processing elements which are backed by a hierarchy of memory levels.

	Jena: Implementing the RDF Model and Syntax Specification
		The model is abstract because it is defined in terms of abstract mathematical structures such as triples and sets.
		As the abstract model is infinite, representations of the abstract data model may be finite and incomplete.
		Whilst in the formal model statements are not resources, it is convenient in an API to be able to represent use a statement to represent its reified statement.

	Writing Abstract Classes and Methods
		Similarly in object-oriented programming, you may want to model abstract concepts but you don't want to be able to create an instance of the concept.
		First you would declare an abstract class, GraphicObject, that provided all of the member variables and methods that were wholly shared by all of the subclasses.
		An abstract class is not required to have an abstract method in it.

	Stabeno and Hermann -- An eddy-resolving model -- Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Currents generated by an eddy-resolving, semispectral primitive equation model are compared with those measured by moored current meters (1989 and 1991) and satellite-tracked drifting buoys (1987) from Shelikof Strait, Alaska.
		The model reproduced many of the dominant circulation features, including the cross-sectional spatial structure of the Alaskan Coastal Current, the estuarine inflow at the bottom of the sea valley, and the mean transport.
		The first-mode empirical orthogonal functions of the model and of the observed data represent similar spatial structures and were significantly correlated in time.

		Since empowerment is crucial to the role of nurses, a qualitative study was conducted and aimed at designing a model for empowering nurses in Iran.
		Implementing this model will not only define nursing roles, identify territories in the national healthcare system, but it will restructure nursing systems, sub-systems, and services.
		Currently no such model exists; therefore, restructuring of the nursing system, including its services, education and research subsystems is recommended.

	Locally-Funded Higher Education Institutions' Research Culture: A Proposed Model - Thesis Abstract \| Dissertation Thesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The data gathered from this study were made as inputs in coming up with a model and a proposed institutional research capability-building program for locally-funded HEIs.
		Analyses of the data gathered from the questionnaire revealed all the grouped respondents’ very low evaluations of their respective institution’s institutional research program factors, material resource factors, research outputs, research dissemination and research utilization.
		Therefore, the researcher concluded that there is a compelling need for locally-funded HEIs in the Philippines to improve their institutional research capability, research output, research dissemination, and research utilization components, hence, the Proposed Model and Program for Institutional Research Capability-Building of all locally-funded HEIs in the country.

	a TBI Model Systems Abstract
		Based on the model, as well as results of prior research, a day treatment program called the Executive Plus Model was designed and is being tested currently.
		Using what is known as a “top-down structured approach,” the Executive Plus Model is based on participants learning and using a single strategy to solve problems in a number of different situations.
		Bottom Line: The research model described in the article is intended to provide better answers about what works and what doesn’t to help people improve executive functioning after TBI.

	5 An abstract decentralised model of mind
		The logical development of this kind of decentralisation is the model in Figure 5.3.
		One of the advantages of Brooks' model is that layer 2, for example, does not need to re-implement its own version of the wandering skill implemented in layer 1 - it can just allow layer 1 be executed when it wants to use it.
		Our abstract decentralised model of mind is a form of the drives model commonly used in ethology (dating back to Hull's work in the 1940s), where the "drive strength" or "importance variable" [Tyrrell, 1993] is equivalent to the W-value, and the highest one wins (the exact action of that agent is executed).

	Model Driven Architecture
		And as the need to describe a software system in abstract models and to generate big bunches of code is normally met in bigger enterprise oriented products, you will meet the requirement to generate a distributed system automatically.
		The basic principle behind MDA is to abstract your model from the platform to describe a general solution for your domain problems, independently from the concrete way to implement it in a specific platform.
		What the tools have to do is transform a more abstract model to a more specific model by adding/changing specific information derived from annotations in the more abstract model.

		Abstract: We focus on two criticisms of Bulk Synchronous Parallelism (BSP): that delaying communication until specific points in a program causes poor performance, and that frequent barrier synchronisations are too expensive for high-performance parallel computing.
		Abstract: Parallel computers have been successfully deployed in many scientific and numerical application areas, although their use in non-numerical and database applications has been scarce.
		Abstract: We study the pragmatics of integrating collection types, that model a broad class of non-numerical applications, into the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model which abstracts a diversity of parallel architectures using just four numerical parameters.

		The DCMI abstract model as represented in the UML diagram, definitions, and prose assertions defines both DCMI metadata descriptions and resources being described by DCMI metadata descriptions.
		The abstract model "indicates that each DCMI metadata description describes one, and only one, resource; this is commonly referred to as the one-to-one principle.
		The mission of of DCMI is to make it easier to find resources using the Internet through the following activities: (1) Developing metadata standards for discovery across domains, (2) Defining frameworks for the interoperation of metadata sets, and (3) Facilitating the development of community- or disciplinary-specific metadata sets that are consistent with [its other goals].

		To function well, a reference model needs to be independent of any particular encoding syntax.
		Such a reference model allows us to gain a better understanding of the kinds of descriptions that we are trying to encode and facilitates the development of better mappings and translations between different syntaxes.
