A major Executive Support Systems (ESS) design problem is determining ESS requirements. We present the CESS method as a guide for ESS design with a primary focus on ESS requirements determination and how requirements can be fulfilled using information and communication technologies. The method builds on Quinn and associates ́ competing values model of organizational effectiveness and current ESS...

This study examined the evaluation of cultural ecosystem services (CESs) and their impact on well-being in peri-urban areas, using a case Harku municipality, Estonia. CESs, encompassing intangible factors such as emotions values, are crucial for but challenging to assess. To address this, pilot method was developed, involving typology natural environment types (NETs) contact (CTs), assessed by ...

Web sites allow the collection of vast amounts of navigational data – clickstreams of user traversals through the site. These massive data stores offer the tantalizing possibility of uncovering interesting patterns within the dataset. For e-businesses, always looking for an edge in the hypercompetitive online marketplace, the discovery of Critical Edge Sequences (CESs), which denote frequently ...

The aim of this article is to establish the theoretical basis of the semantic annotation of the CESS-ESP and CESS-CAT corpora, by means of assigning to each predicate a Lexicosemantic Structure. The lexicosemantic patterns determine the argument structure, the correspondence between the arguments and the verb, and the diathesis alternations. The semantic annotation is carried out semi-automatic...

Collaborative embedded systems (CES) heavily rely on information models to understand the contextual situations they are exposed to. These information models serve different purposes. First, during development time it is necessary to model the context for eliciting and documenting the requirements that a CES is supposed to achieve. Second, information models provide information to simulate diff...

Time synchronization is the primary prerequisite for multisensor integration. Many methods have been used in different systems, but they are either too expensive or inconvenient for research purposes. In this paper the system design of a Cost Effective Synchronization System (CESS) is described, and two experiments are described that have tested the synchronization accuracy of the system. They ...

The integration of clean energy sources (CESs) into modern power systems has been studied using various converter topologies. challenges integrating CESs are facilitated by the proper design multi-port (MPPC) architecture. In this study, a brand-new two-stage MPPC is suggested as solution to intermittent nature and slow response (SR) CESs. system combines DC\DC DC\AC storage unit, circuit addit...

The induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes by chemicals is one of the major reasons for drug-drug interactions. In the present study, the regulation of mRNA expression of one arylacetamide deacetylase (Aadac) and 11 carboxylesterases (Cess) by 15 microsomal enzyme inducers (MEIs) was examined in livers of male C57BL/6 mice. The data demonstrated that Aadac mRNA expression was suppressed by thre...

This paper presents a new framework, “text as scene”, which lays the foundations for the annotation of two coreferential links: discourse deixis and bridging relations. The incorporation of what we call textual and contextual scenes provides more flexible annotation guidelines, broad type categories being clearly differentiated. Such a framework that is capable of dealing with discourse deixis ...

On 20th December, 2019, the Central Government introduced Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, which created a favourable taxing environment for Companies. Through this section 115BAB, covers all sorts of domestic companies, that is, any company formed and registered in India, was Income Tax Act offered very low tax rate 15% (17.5% including surcharge cess) to new manufacturing companies. This ...
