As digital libraries become more popular, information and knowledge overload has become a pressing required literature searching problem. Problems with searching in digital libraries will worsen as the amount of information/knowledge increases. Traditional digital libraries often index words and documents while learners think in terms of topics and subjects. As a result, learners cannot determi...

The past few years have seen a tremendous growth in the popularity of smartphones. As newer features continue to be added to smartphones to increase their utility, their significance will only increase in future. Combining machine learning with mobile computing can enable smartphones to become ‘intelligent’ devices, a feature which is hitherto unseen in them. Also, the combination of machine le...

Sprint running velocity is the product of step length and step rate. A tool to measure these key metrics would aid sprint training. Athletes require fast and non-invasive analysis tools, to allow them to focus on performance. A non-invasive, single camera gait analysis system (Gait Analyser) was developed and installed at the Sheffield Hallam University City Athletics Stadium (SHUCAS). The Gait...

in this paper, the nonlinear differential equation for the convection of the temperature distribution of a straight fin  with the thermal conductivity depends on the temperature is solved using adomian decomposition method and padé approximation(padm) for boundary problems. actual results are then compared with results obtained previously  using digital solution by runge–kuttamethod and a diffe...

Excell 2280 analyser is a new automated haematology analyser manufactured by Drew Scientific Inc, Texas, USA, and distributed in France by MAXMAT S.A., Montpellier. It can achieve 80 complete blood cell counts per hour, with leukocyte differential counts. Three sampling possibilities are included: a direct one (open tubes, 180 microL), a blood saver one (80 microL) and an automatic, through-the...

We present a tool called Grouped PEPA Analyser (GPA) that allows fast analysis of large scale models described in the stochastic process algebra PEPA. GPA employs the techniques for approximations of transient moments in PEPA models with ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which allow analysis of systems with state spaces far beyond the limits of standard techniques. These moments provide u...

This report describes a database model currently under development at the Manufacturing System Integration Division (MSID) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The database model contains a set of tables that are mapped onto the machine shop information model developed by MSID. The information model provides neutral data interfaces for integrating machine shop software ...

Atomically precise manufacturing systems, such as those described in Nanosystems [1], will utilize molecular motors and actuators that drive components to perform useful work. The conversion of electrical and chemical energy into mechanical motion is facilitated by the use of gears, bearings, drive shafts, springs, and so forth, to direct the motion of components and minimize energy losses. Thu...

The paper proposes a morphological analyser supported by a neural network to in ect words written in Polish. The approach can be also applied to other languages. The main task of the analyser is to create base forms from the analysed words' forms. Other objective is to provide grammatical information for the analysed form. Computational experiment results con rm that both objectives are ful lle...
