The aim of tool path planning is to maximize the efficiency against some given precision criteria. In practice, scallop height should be kept constant to avoid unnecessary cutting, while the tool path should be smooth enough to maintain a high feed rate. However, iso-scallop and smoothness often conflict with each other. Existing methods smooth iso-scallop paths one-by-one, which make the final...

Course planning is an important faculty role requiring expertise and effective decision-making. Despite the centrality of planning activities in the teaching-learning process, relatively little research has explored the process by which instructors in higher education plan their classes. Thus, the author and colleagues pursued a three-year series of studies of college instructors in the US who ...

In pedestrian simulation, choosing the right visualization for the depiction of a simulated human is important; recent taxonomies of visualization techniques for simulation can aid leverage a wide range of possible choices. Our work is to (1) narrow down these choices to the set of those applicable in pedestrian simulation and (2) give a discussion over possible combinations of these visualizat...

This study focused on the description of teachers’ perception, plan, implementation, and evaluation Form-Focused Feedback (FFF) in teaching writing. It employed a descriptive qualitative that applied interviews, questionnaires, classroom observations obtaining research data. The took place vocational high school Central Java involved two teachers as well twelfth-grade students participants. res...

Increasing interest has been devoted to Planning as Heuristic Search over the years. Intense research has focused on deriving accurate heuristics in polynomial computational time for domain-independent planning. This paper reports on an extensive survey and analysis of research work related to heuristic derivation techniques for state space search planning, as well as other planning paradigms. ...

Lateral transshipments within an inventory system are stock movements between locations of the same echelon. These transshipments can be conducted periodically at predetermined points in time to proactively redistribute stock, or they can be used reactively as a method of meeting demand which cannot be satisfied from stock on hand. The elements of an inventory system considered, e.g. size, cost...
