Shared data models provide leverage for reusable data transformations. Common modelling patterns and data structures can make data transformations applicable to diverse datasets. Similarly to data models, reusable data transformations promote separation of concerns, prevent duplication of effort, and reduce the time spent processing data. However, unlike data models, which can be shared as RDF ...

background economic consequence analysis is vital for recognizing pipeline comprehensive risk analysis and emergency response planning. objectives the purpose of this study was to estimate economic loss due to fire and explosion in petrochemical feed and product pipelines. materials and methods the present study which performed on 47 pipelines of a petrochemical special zone, pertinent pipeline...

The VISIONAIR project aims at federating and providing a unique access to advanced visualization resources available at research centers and universities from Israel and other 11 countries in Europe. The physical visualisation facilities are supported by the Virtual Visualisation Service Infrastructure providing repositories of shape models and archives of tools for their creation and processin...

Logistics cost, the cost of moving feedstock or products, is a key component of the overall cost of recovering energy from biomass. In this study, we calculate for small- and large-project sizes, the relative cost of transportation by truck, rail, ship, and pipeline for three biomass feedstocks, by truck and pipeline for ethanol, and by transmission line for electrical power. Distance fixed cos...

The Gene Ontology Consortium launched the GO-PAINT project (Phylogenetic Annotation and INference Tool) 9 years ago and is currently being used in the GO Reference Genome Annotation Project to support inference of GO function terms (molecular function, cellular component and biological process) by homology. PAINT uses a phylogenetic model to infer gene function by homology, a process that requi...

When a long distance oil pipeline crosses an earthquake disaster area, inertial force and strong ground motion can cause the pipeline stress to exceed the failure limit, resulting in bending and deformation failure. To date, researchers have performed limited safety analyses of oil pipelines in earthquake disaster areas that include stress analysis. Therefore, using the spectrum method and theo...

Continuous delivery is a software development practice where new features are made available to end users as soon as they have been implemented and tested. In such a setting, a key technical piece of infrastructure is the development pipeline that consists of various tools and databases, where features flow from development to deployment and then further to use. Metrics, unlike those convention...

We present an overview of our project to construct a digital archive of cultural heritages. Among the efforts in our project, in this paper, we briefly overview our research on geometric and photometric preservation of cultural assets and restoration of their original appearance. Digital geometric modeling is achieved through a pipeline consisting of scanning, registering and merging multiple r...
