The decline in middle-wage occupations and rise automation over the last decades are at center of policy discussions. We develop an empirically relevant general equilibrium model that features endogenous labor force participation, occupational choice, capital. use to consider two types policies: retraining workers who were adversely affected by automation, redistribution policies transfer resou...

Blogging is an easy and widely usable tool for data exchange and knowledge management. But the data in blogs are limited to the ‘followers’ (human readers) and not easily available for machine processing to enable information aggregation or further analysis. Thus, there is a need to enrich blog content with additional semantics using metadata. This paper proposes an approach for automating sema...

Oligonucleotides are synthesized and purified in a single column filled with a mixture of nucleoside-loaded and underivatized, high-cross link, non-swelling polystryene beads. A new oligonucleotide production system has been developed to completely automate-the entire process of sequence entry, phosphoramidite synthesis, cleavage, deprotection, purification, quantitation, and sample collection....

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

The progressive integration of automation technologies in commercial transport aircraft flight decks -the “glass cockpit” -has had a major, and generally positive, impact on flight crew operations. Flight deck automation has provided significant benefits, such as economic efficiency, increased precision and safety, and enhanced functionality within the crew interface. These enhancements, howeve...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...
