Computer-aided detection (CAD) has been used in screening mammography for many years and is likely to be utilized for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Higher detection performance is desirable as it may have an impact on radiologist’s decisions and clinical outcomes. Recently the algorithms based on deep convolutional architectures have been shown to achieve state of the art performance in o...

This paper presents the results of a preliminary protocol study of the cognitive behaviour of architectural designers during the design process. The aim is to better understand the similarities and differences in cognitive behaviour using Sequential Mixed Media (SMM) and Alternative Mixed Media (AMM) approaches, and how switching between media may impact on design processes. Two participants wi...

This paper presents an architectural pattern for structuring adaptive applications using aspectoriented programming in order to obtain separation of concerns. It is composed of known and novel patterns organized so as to provide good maintainability and modularity. 1

This paper introduces an approach to describing and selecting design patterns for developing communication components of parallel programs. The approach uses the kind of communication requirements of the architectural pattern whose processing components have to be communicated, along with characteristics and features of the parallel hardware platform and programming language synchronisation mec...

Capturing and modelling 3D information of the built environment is very challenging. A number of techniques and technologies are now in use such as EDM, GPS, photogrammetric applications, and building surveying applications. However, use of these technologies has not been practical and efficient with regard to time, cost and accuracy. A multi-disciplinary knowledge base, created from studies an...

Digital fabrication has emerged as a transformative force in the field of architecture, revolutionizing design, and construction processes. The paper begins by providing an overview digital its evolution within architectural domain. It discusses integration advanced technologies such computer-aided design (CAD), additive manufacturing (3D printing) into advantages fabrication, including increas...

This study conceptualizes, operationalises and validates the concept of Knowledge Management Competence as a four-phase multidimensional formative index. Employing survey data from 310 respondents representing 27 organizations using the SAP Enterprise System Financial module, the study results demonstrate a large, significant, positive relationship between Knowledge Management Competence and En...

Standard interfaces could help reduce the costs associated with simulation model construction and data exchange between simulation and other software applications -and thus make simulation technology more affordable and accessible to a wide range of potential industrial users. Currently, small machine shops do not typically use simulation technology because of various difficulties and obstacles...

Compact model for expressing turn-off waveform for advanced trench gate IGBTs is proposed even under high current density condition. The model is analytically formulated only with device structure parameters so that no fitting parameters are required. The validity of the model is confirmed with TCAD simulation for 1.2 kV to 6.5 kV class IGBTs. The proposed turn-off model is sufficiently accurat...

During the early stages of architectural training, tangibility plays an important role in developing spatial awareness. In such contexts, tangible user interfaces are believed to provide a significant advantage as they combine the affordances of both the physical and the digital world. We introduce CubeExplorer, a hybrid 3D conceptual aid that combines physical interaction and digital modeling ...
