This paper uses a theoretical motivation for an Expanded Knowledge Production Function(EKPF) that encompasses both path dependence and spatial spillovers to search evidences inBrazil using Dynamic Spatial Panel Data approach. The purpose is identify the determinantsof knowledge production in 2005-2015 period as well its temporal evolution, usinginnovation patents proxies. Regarding distribution...

This paper presents a software tool, called PLAT (Production Lines Analysis Tool), which computes exact stochastic solutions of models for reliable production lines. The user interface accepts the following parameters of serial production lines: the number of reliable stations (K), the service rate of each station (μi) and the buffer slots in front of each station (Bi). In the case of a transie...

unsustainability and precarious conditions of agricultural production have caused this sector be associated with risk . crops insurance is efficient tool for controlling and reducing production and market risk and stabilizing farmers' income. in this study, the thinking system approach by using of i think software is used for analyzing and modeling of the effects of different alternatives of po...

Understanding player behavior and making sense of gameplay actions is a non-trivial and time-consuming process that requires both thorough domain knowledge of game design, and advanced technical skills in database query languages and statistical packages. Researchers, technology partners and content creators are developing tools to aid in the process of knowledge discovery to gain insights and ...

Despite to the presence of many systems for developing and managing structured taxonomies and/or SKOS models for a given domain, the production and maintenance of these domain knowledge bases is still a very expensive and time consuming process. This paper proposes a solution for assisting expert users in the collaborative development and management of knowledge SKOS. The proposed solution acce...
