In order for organizations to survive on increasingly competitive and global markets, adequate management of intellectual capital is essential. Although increasingly more information is found in electronic formats, turning this information into valuable knowledge is still the responsibility of people by applying it in professional situations to generate value. In this paper, we describe an appr...

Build in software is assembling all the components of a software application into an installable software product. Build automation is a process that enables source code to be automatically compiled into binaries including code level unit testing to ensure individual pieces of code behave as expected. There are lot of build tools available in market. A better understanding of these tools helps ...

Sanitary clamp wingnut manipulation is the fifth most frequent cause of injuries in the production areas of the Bayer Healthcare site in Berkeley, California. Task analysis showed that manual manipulation of clamp wingnuts had concurrent multiple risk factors, including: awkward postures, high forces, contact stresses, and high frequency. Task elimination was not an option. Several tools on the...

The efficiënt market hypothesis and related theories claim that it is impossible to predict future stock prices. Even so, empirical research has countered this claim by achieving better than random prediction performance. Using a model built from a combination of text mining and time series prediction, we provide further evidence to counter the efficient market hypothesis. We discuss the diffic...

We present two approximation methods for pricing of CMS spread options in Libor market models. Both approaches are based on approximating the underlying swap rates with lognormal processes under suitable measures. The rst method is derived straightforwardly from the Libor market model. The second one uses a convexity adjustment technique under a linear swap model assumption. A numerical study d...

The use of CAE tools in digital logic and computer circuit design is growing in importance in two separate but closely related areas: first, by allowing the design team to bring new products to market faster, and second, to provide the tools needed to cope with the complexity and density of the integrated circuits used in the products. This paper describes our experiences in integrating commerc...
