human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (nde). in a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. this paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...

Human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (NDE). In a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. This paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...

The perform ance and stability of a slotted direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple-access (DSSSMA) packet radio network employing the type-II hybrid automatic-repeatrequest (ARQ) protocol with ® nite-length transm itter buffers are considered. The equilibrium point analysis (EPA) technique is employed to analyze the system stability and to approxim ately compute the system throughput, delay, ...

Performance indicators in sport are ofte n specific to individual perform ances rather than being typical for perform ers. Therefore, H ughes et al. (2004b) developed the concept of nor mative profiles of sports perform ance and a m eans of determining the number of m atches required for perform ance indicators to stabilise within a tolerable percentage error of the typical mean for the perform...

UNLABELLED Human somatic angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc-dependent exopeptidase, that catalyses the conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II, by removing a C-terminal dipeptide. It is the principal component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system that regulates blood pressure. Hence it is an important therapeutic target for the treatment...

Pseudo-Relevance Feedback (PRF) utilises the relevance signals from top-k passages first round of retrieval to perform a second aiming improve search effectiveness. A recent research direction has been study and development PRF methods for deep language model based rankers, in particular context dense retrievers. Dense retrievers provide trade off between effectiveness, which is often reduced c...

This paper is a report of the benchmarking result of the user-perceived performance of TCP/IP over Myrinet, and an analysis of the performance bottlenecks. In this paper, we first present an overview of Myrinet, then report the result of our benchmarking result. We give an interpretation of the performance data, and further analyze them with respect to the memory subsystem, CPU speed and the sp...
