Estimating Fully Observed Recursive Mixed-Process Models with Cmp

The Application of Recursive Mixed Models for Estimating Genetic and Phenotypic Relationships between Calving Difficulty and Lactation Curve Traits in Iranian Holsteins: A Comparison with Standard Mixed Models

In the present study, records on 22872 first-parity Holsteins collected from 131 herds by the Animal Breeding and Improvement Center of Iran from 1995 to 2014 were considered to estimate genetic and phenotypic relationships between calving difficulty (CD) and the lactation curve traits, including initial milk yield (Ap), ascending (Bp) and descending (Cp) slope of the lactation curves, peak mil...

A Recursive Paradigm for Aligning Observed Behavior of Large Structured Process Models

The alignment of observed and modeled behavior is a crucial problem in process mining, since it opens the door for conformance checking and enhancement of process models. The state of the art techniques for the computation of alignments rely on a full exploration of the combination of the model state space and the observed behavior (an event log), which hampers their applicability for large ins...

Copper CMP and Process Control

A production worthy, copper CMP technology has been successfully developed on a multi-platen CMP system. The System consists of three polish platens, each of which is equipped with an optical endpoint detection system. The process consists of three steps with different polish slurries, and is designed to polish copper with a tantalum based barrier, and to achieve good defect performance. Patter...

Improving Business Process Models Using Observed Behavior

Process-aware information systems (PAISs) can be configured using a reference process model, which is typically obtained via expert interviews. Over time, however, contextual factors and system requirements may cause the operational process to start deviating from this reference model. While a reference model should ideally be updated to remain aligned with such changes, this is a costly and of...
