Hypergraphs are often used to represent knowledge bases because of their accurate depiction of causal links between facts. Deduction can be computed over such a knowledge base by complete hypergraph traversal. Efficient structuring of such hypergraphs can reduce time in deductive computation as well as space in vertex and hyperedge storage. In this work, we transform a hypergraph storing a know...

abstract- mechanical damage degrades fruit quality in the chain from production to the consumption. damage is due to static, impact and vibration loads during processes such as harvesting, transportation, sorting and bulk storage. in the present study finite element (fe) models were used to simulate the process of static bruising for apple fruits by contact of the fruit with a hard surface. thr...

This paper aims to explore the role of knowledge management in information systems planning. Knowledge management is used in a proposed integration model as organisational memory by storing the participants' knowledge and allowing them to access the organisation's knowledge and that of other participants, providing information to support decision-making and to facilitate the strategy developmen...

In natural gas markets, demand exhibits low price elasticity, while supply follows the market price; a phenomenon typically observed in markets for indispensable goods. A significant portion of gas consumption is due to heating and increasingly power generation, which sets a typical demand pattern: high in winter and summer ('high' seasons) and low in shoulder months ('low' seasons). Thus, the ...
