In large process deployments where an enterprise has to model and maintain a large number of processes that are specializations of each other it is advantageous to provide formal support for process specialization called process inheritance. A process inheritance model definition is introduced as well as a process definition language construct for defining process specialization.

It is often reported in the technique literature that the success of the self-organizing feature map formation is critically dependent on the initial weights and the selection of main parameters (i.e. the learning-rate parameter and the neighborhood set) of the algorithm. They usually have to be counteracted by the trial-and-error method; therefore, often time consuming retraining procedures ha...

In this article, a special type of orthogonalization is obtained to construct a multiple input transfer function model. By using this technique, construction of a transfer function model is divided to sequential construction of transfer function models with less input time series. Furthermore, based on real and simulated time series we provide an instruction to adequately perform the stages of ...

the group $2^6{{}^{cdot}} g_2(2)$ is a maximal subgroup of the rudvalis group $ru$ of index 188500 and has order 774144 = $2^{12}.3^3.7$. in this paper, we construct the character table of the group $2^6{{}^{cdot}} g_2(2)$ by using the technique of fischer-clifford matrices.

  Background: The importance of the syndesmosis in ankle stability is well recognized. Numerous means of fixation have been described for syndesmotic injuries including the suture button technique. Significant cost limits the use the commercially available options. We, therefore, designed a cheap and readily available alternative construct. We aim to assess the results of using a novel suture-...
