Clone-and-Own is a common practice in families of software products, where parts from legacy products are reused in new developments. In industrial scenarios, CAO consumes high amounts of time and effort, not guaranteeing good results. We propose a novel approach, Computer Assisted CAO for Models (CACAO4M), that uses a MultiObjective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) with two objectives (Model Frag...

InSAR data are used to recognise large industrial building complexes. Such buildings often show salient regular patterns of strong scatterers on their roofs. A previous segmentation which uses the intensity, height and coherence information extracts building cues. Strong scatterers are filtered by a spot detector and localised by a cluster formation. Strong scatterers are grouped in rows by a p...

The implementation of Industrial Ethernet field devices requires hardware as well as software components. Different implementation approaches are available. While a conventional implementation for instance uses an Industrial Ethernet ASIC, a modern approach is based on FPGA technology. Here all the required hardware and software components are combined into just one component providing maximum ...

JKind is an open-source industrial model checker developed by Rockwell Collins and the University of Minnesota. JKind uses multiple parallel engines to prove or falsify safety properties of infinite state models. It is performance competitive with other state-of-the-art model checkers and serves as the back-end for various industrial applications.

This historical review traces the con­ cept of work throughout the develop­ ment of occupational therapy. Para­ digm shifting is used as a framework for describing the conceptual defini­ tions and therapeutic uses of work in four developmental stages. T he concept of work is funda­ mental to our profession; the terms occupation and therapy con­ note the strong relationship be­ tween healing and...

T he field of neurotrophin biology has made great advances in recent years to include a greater understanding of signaling pathways and broader understanding of the diverse biological roles of these molecules. This review will focus primarily on the nerve growth factor family of neurotrophins and how recent descriptions of the molecular function of both the ligands and the receptors have helped...
