memory politics as a field is an outcome of representation crisis in social sciences. but this field has its own weaknesses that prevent presenting a coherent research program. eliminating theory and conceptual defects of the field and increasing its objects are the most strategies to improve it to a coherent research program. but how someone can eliminate its current conceptual defects? in thi...

This report presents the results of a structured review of code clone literature. The aim of the review is to assemble a conceptual model of clone-related concepts which helps us to reason about clones. This conceptual model unifies clone concepts from a wide range of literature, so that findings about clones can be compared with each other. The conceptual model is work in progress; more resear...

The paper presents two complementary strategies for identifying errors in spreadsheet programs. The strategies presented are grounded on the assumption that spreadsheets are software, albeit of a different nature than conventional procedural software. Correspondingly, strategies for identifying errors have to take into account the inherent properties of spreadsheets as much as they have to reco...

This paper proposes a methodology to build safe the integrity of the involved components and has to be safe distributed systems that considers both conceptual and operational description aspects. At the conceptual level, we focus on the safety properties expected from the system. Such properties are stated and then verified. At the operational level, we focus on properties addressing the optimi...

Data Warehouses manage vital information for the decision making process, which may be discovered by unauthorized users if we do not establish security measures in all the stages of the development process. We have proposed an MDA architecture to develop secure Data Warehouses which allows them to be modeled at different abstraction levels (business, conceptual, logical and code level). We take...

The following document gives advice how to formulate schema matching definitions from any schema to CIDOC CRM : Model. EDM includes some concepts from ORE and from Dublin Core.

This paper proposes a methodology to build safe distributed systems that considers both conceptual and operational description aspects. At the conceptual level, we focus on the safety properties expected from the system. Such properties are stated and then verified. At the operational level, we focus on properties addressing the optimization of the generated code. Traceability between the two l...

One of the major goals of the Sustainable Agriculture Farming initiatives at UC Davis is to provide information about the feasibility of adopting conservation tillage and cover cropping at the farm level. The project includes two tillage schemes: standard tillage (ST) and conservation tillage (CT), and three farming methods: conventional, organic, and winter legume cover crop. All three product...

Global biodiversity continues along a trajectory of decline despite enormous conservation efforts (Rands et al., 2010). This is also true in China, one of the most biodiversity-rich countries in the world (Liu and Raven, 2010; Ministry of Environmental Protection of China, 2010a). To fundamentally change this trajectory, it is essential to understand complex interactions among various forces af...
