With product customization companies aim at creating higher customer value and stronger economic benefits. The profitability of the offered variety relies on the quality of the developed product family architectures and their consistent implementation in configuration systems. Yet existing methods are informal, providing limited support for domain experts to communicate, synthesize and document...

An important step in the solution of a target problem in case-based reasoning (CBR) is the retrieval of similar previous cases that can be used to solve the target problem. We review a selection of papers from the CBR literature on aspects of retrieval, such as approaches to the assessment of surface and structural similarity and techniques for automating the construction and maintenance of sim...

the collection of data within the primary health care facilities in iran is essentially paper-based. it is focused on family’s health, monitoring of non-infectious and infectious diseases. clearly due to the paper-based nature of the tasks, timely decision making at most can be difficult if not impossible. as part of an on-going electronic health record implementation project at tehran universi...

The transient response of passivated metallic electrode system under potential step was analyzed based on a linear model, and a technique for calculating the parameters characterizing the growth and dissolution of passive film was proposed. It is believed that the information which is expected to be gained from the impedance measurement can be obtained by this technique and that this technique ...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS, has been applied for characterization of electrochemically modified graphite electrodes in the sulphuric acid solution. Graphite modifications were performed by potential cyclization between potentials of graphite oxide formation/reduction, different number of cycles, and prolonged reduction steps after cyclization. Impedance spectra measured at two ...

This paper presents a novel approach to determine structural similarity as guidance for adaptation in case based reasoning Cbr We advance structural similarity assessment which provides not only a single numeric value but the most speci c structure two cases have in common inclusive of the modi cation rules needed to obtain this structure from the two cases Our approach treats retrieval matchin...

microgrid presents an efficient and novel solution for integrating many new energy generating resources with traditional distribution networks. having an appropriate protective scheme is a fundamental challenge in achieving microgrid plans. it is proven that traditional protective plans are not efficient for protecting microgrid, since the network is dynamic and the level of fault current chang...
