FORM, which was developed at Pohand University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea, is a systematic method that looks for and captures commonalities and variabilities of a product line in terms of “features”. The results of the analysis are used to develop reusable product line assets (architectures and components). This method includes techniques and tools for product line engin...

In this paper we aim to clarify that participants of conversation can predict whether an utterance includes grammatical terminal elements, which have been referred to as the utterance-final elements (UFEs) in Japanese. We carried out perceptual experiments with Japanese utterances missing a part close to their end. The results showed that subjects distinguished whether an UFE follows at the ver...

We propose extracting information about characters and actions from a self-contained story, such as news reports. This information is stored in structure patterns called situations. We show how these situation patterns can be constructed by unifying the constituents of sentence analysis with knowledge previously stored in Typed Feature Structures. These situations can be in turn used subsequent...

BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers are a major problem after cardiovascular surgery, occurring in 9.2% to 38% of patients. OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of a skin care intervention program in preventing development of ulcers or progression from one stage to another and to determine the extent to which selected risk factors were associated with development and progression of pressure ulcer...

This research aims to identify and assess the project risks of online teaching in Indonesian higher education institutions during COVID-19 crisis. Two analyses have been conducted using risk management approach. First, a triangulation analysis based on interviews with 35 stakeholders was implemented order construct breakdown structure major registered risks. Second, assessment calculating sever...

X-band accelerator structures meeting the Next Linear Collider (NLC) design requirements have been found to suffer damage due to Radio Frequency (RF) breakdown when processed to high gradients [F. Le Pimpec, et al., in: LINAC 2002, Korea, SLAC-PUB-9526, 2002 [1]]. Improved understanding of these breakdown events is desirable for the development of structure designs, fabrication procedures, and ...

Titanium is a highly reactive metal so that a thin layer of oxide forms on its surface whenever exposed to the air or other environments containing oxygen. This layer increases the corrosion resistance of titanium. The oxide film is electrochemically formed through anodizing. In this study, anodizing of titanium was performed in phosphate-base solutions such as H3Po4, NaH2Po4, and Na2Hpo4 at 9....
