Manufacturing Engineering: What’s new in the recently updated X8 inspection software from Verisurf? David Olson: The Verisurf X8 release adds many new coordinate metrology automation features that make portable and stationary CMMs more productive for all users across the manufacturing enterprise. For example, a CMM programmer benefits from Verisurf Automate object-oriented drag-and-drop inspect...

Fifty percent of the titles I've addressed since embarking on writing this article series are a result of my having received 5 or more concerned phone calls relating to a given subject. This installment: The latest or updated generation of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems selling techniques to be encountered at the National Manufacturing Week Conference in Chicago: 1) Are you going t...

The fourth industrial revolution driven by digitalization, networking and intelligence has put forward new requirements for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). Two important development directions of are reviewed analyzed in this paper. first is the study error compensation Machines, which includes dynamic static technology. Dynamic particularly high-speed measurement. And how to ensure measu...

The simulation of complex domains requires the acquisition and representation of domain knowledge at a level of detail appropriate for the needs of one or more intended simulations. The Conceptual Models of the Mission Space (CMMS) is a DOD effort to develop an integrated framework providing simulationindependent descriptions of real world processes, entities, environments, interactions, and re...

Increasing demand for sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon construction materials has highlighted the potential of Compacted Mineral Mixtures (CMMs), which are formulated from various soil types (sand, silt, clay) recycled mineral waste. This paper presents a comprehensive inter- transdisciplinary research concept that aims to industrialise scale up adoption CMM-based methods, thereby acceler...

Digitalization of the failure-probability modeling crucial components in power-distribution systems is important for improving risk and reliability analysis system-maintenance asset-management practices. This paper aims to implement a Python programming-based Weibull approach digitalization distribution-transformer (DT) failures, considering regional section DTs Sri Lanka as case study. A compr...

BACKGROUND Two genes have been implicated in the development of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). CDK4 (the gene encoding cyclin-dependent kinase 4, an oncogene) has exhibited germline mutations found in only three melanoma-prone families to date. CDKN2A is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes p16 (which inhibits activity of the cyclin D1-CDK4 complex) with germline mutations detected in 10%-...

MOTIVATION The problem of ab initio protein folding is one of the most difficult in modern computational biology. The prediction of residue contacts within a protein provides a more tractable immediate step. Recently introduced maximum entropy-based correlated mutation measures (CMMs), such as direct information, have been successful in predicting residue contacts. However, most correlated muta...
