Discrete event simulation models allow engineers to understand and predict the behaviour of manufacturing systems. A standard way of taking workers into account is to model them as resources not considering any person, organisational or environmental influences. Worker behaviour differs notably between people, tasks and systems which has an impact on the individual processing times and in the e...

Word embeddings are used with success for a variety of tasks involving lexical semantic similarities between individual words. Using unsupervised methods and just cosine similarity, encouraging results were obtained for analogical similarities. In this paper, we explore the potential of pre-trained word embeddings to identify generic types of semantic relations in an unsupervised experiment. We...

Process simulations play an important role in guiding process understanding and development, without requiring costly manufacturing trials. For process design under uncertainty, a large number of simulations is needed for an accurate convergence of the moments of the output distributions, which renders such stochastic analysis computationally intensive. This paper discusses the application of a...

The mammalian cerebellum is a highly multimodal structure, receiving inputs from multiple sensory modalities and integrating them during complex sensorimotor coordination tasks. Previously, using cell-type-specific anatomical projection mapping, it was shown that multimodal pathways converge onto individual cerebellar granule cells (Huang et al., 2013). Here we directly measure synaptic current...

The rate of change in the fluctuations in motor output differs during the performance of fatiguing contractions that involve different types of loads. The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of frequency modulation of motor unit discharge to the fluctuations in the motor output during sustained contractions with the force and position tasks. In separate tests with the upper ar...

Background. Despite the growing interest of second language acquisition (SLA) researchers in languaging process, a few studies have been done on its dynamic attributes various writing tasks.
 Purpose. This study investigated how online written (WL) might impact English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) learners’ performance form-focused tasks with production-based and comprehension-based output ...

The concept of the Standardized Individual Output Development can generally be understood as an approach to the development of output using its own domain standards, or re-use of standards from other domains via analogies. Objective is a systematic, qualitative and efficient creation of individual output and an innovation-framework to systematize the support of a knowledge transfer from other d...

The practice of ‘writing to learn’ has been propounded as fast-tracking the dynamic process of noticing problems in L2 writing. However, a marked melioration in learners’ attempted output requires a form of corrective feedback, among which modeling has proven to bear vigorous input enhancement effects. The present study attempted to inspect what EFL learners notice throughout their own output a...
