— Using original data from an area of Zambia with contrasting tenure regimes (state and customary), the hypotheses are tested whether farmers with leases or titles have superior fixed investment and productivity to those without documentation. Results indicate that documentation is indeed associated with greater fixed investment independently of an array of control variables. Productivity also ...

This paper evaluates advantages of application of digital photogrammetry for the purposes of production of technical documentation for the objects under protection, comparing it with the classical photogrammetric procedures. Based on gained experiences, paper reviews procedures for the completely digital production of technical documentation. Process of making technical documentation is divided...

ECG documentation of AF, however, carries 2 distinct limitations. F...

Adequate documentation of an object-oriented framework is the prerequisite to its success as a reusable component. The overall design of a framework and its intended method of reuse are not obvious from the source code and thus have to be addressed in the documentation. Most importantly, the documentation of a framework has to be structured in such a way that it guarantees the adequate support ...

Developers and researchers have been using crowdsourcing in a variety of fields related to software development and software engineering. Crowd based documentation is another yield of crowdsourcing where the coder community or workers document the software. In the present work, we have analyzed how crowdsourcing can be used for an API documentation. The study is based on the fact that good prog...

BACKGROUND With decreasing costs of GPS telemetry devices, data repositories of animal movement paths are increasing almost exponentially in size. A series of complex statistical tools have been developed in conjunction with this increase in data. Each of these methods offers certain improvements over previously proposed methods, but each has certain assumptions or shortcomings that make its ge...

The article is concerned with the method for structuring the electronic archive of technical documentation on the basis of the domainspecific ontology. The ontology formal model, the technical document model, and the algorithm for clustering electronic archive content that has its origins in the modified fcm-method are presented. The authors are pioneered in offering the formalization of the me...
