Recently, creativity has become one of the most important keywords in the wide area of academic and industrial research. Idea generation can be viewed as a knowledge creation activity. In this paper, we present a computerized tool, Brainstorming Argumentation Room (BAR), which use a two-dimensional space connected to knowledge association process to stimulate the creativity of experts. The inpu...

This paper summarizes some discussions at Dagstuhl Seminar #12071 Software Clone Management Towards Industrial Application on alternatives envisioned for clone management within the software development process. Keywords-clone management; software development process;

This article pursues two tasks. The first is to clarify the value and productivity of Williams’s Keywords: a vocabulary culture society (first edition 1976, second expanded 1983a) for project Cultural Studies. clarification helped, I argue, by reading it alongside Vološinov’s Marxism philosophy language (published in Russian 1929, translated into English 1973). related task speculative developm...

Micromirrors fabricated by MEMS technology have demonstrated to be important sensing or actuating components in many industrial and biomedical applications such as laser scanning displays, optical switch matrices, and biomedical imaging systems.Micromirrors fabricated by MEMS technology have demonstrated to be important sensing or actuating components in many industrial and biomedical applicati...

A 3D industrial computed tomography (CT) manufactured based on a first generation CT systems, single-source – single-detector, was evaluated. Operation accuracy assessment of the manufactured system was achieved using simulation in comparison with experimental tests. Cs and Co were used as a gamma source. Simulations were achieved using MCNP4C code. Experimental tests of Cs were in good agreeme...

We study the development of conjunctive keyword searchable scheme which enables one to search encrypted documents by using more than one keyword. The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

In this study, the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) C needles (i.e. the current-year-needles) were used as bioindicators in determining the aerial distribution pattern of sulphur emissions around industrial point sources at Kemi, Northern Finland. The average sulphur concentration in the C needles was 897 mg/kg (d.w.), with a standard deviation of 118 mg/kg (d.w.) and range 740 – 1350 mg/kg (d....

Supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) are widely used in industry for supervisory control and data acquisition of industrial processes. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility. With the advances of electronic and software technologies, the SCADA systems are widely used in industrial plant automation. It provides an efficient tool to monitor and control equip...
