Automated intelligent systems and products have been envisioned for almost 40 years. However, actual product development and system integration has been difficult to actualize. Current approaches are costly, time consuming, and frequently yield suboptimal results. This paper describes a development and systems integration framework that overcomes several problems that plague the intelligent sys...

Singapore’s limited resources have caused severe labor shortage and brought adverse impact on the construction industry. Prefabrication, the crucial part of the integrated construction automation processes, has appeared to be the ideal and most practical way to sustain the long-standing strategy of reducing the reliance on labor resource. In this paper, the potential of prefabrication in resolv...

This paper describes the purification of polysomal RNA from SV40-lytically infected CV1 (monkey) cells and separation of the two distinct classes of SV40-specific mRNA sedimenting at 16 S and 19 S. These classes have been hybridized with the whole SV40 DNA genome as well as with the SV40 Hind fragments. The results have permitted the mapping of SV40-specific late 16 S mRNA from approximately 0....

aims: chromium is one of the most important metallic pollutants in plating industry wastewater. this toxic metal is a serious threat to human health and to the environment due to its cumulative effects and non-degradability. this research intended to study the effects of ph, contact time, and voltage on the degree of chromium removal from wastewater of plating industry by using the electrocoagu...

In light of the 40th jubilee of Requirements Engineering (RE), roughly 40 experts met in Switzerland to discuss where our discipline stands today [1]. 40 years after RE was acknowledged for the first time as an independent discipline in an issue of the Transactions of Software Engineering, a strong and (more or less) self-confident research community has emerged and contributed a variety of too...
