Engineering and Management of IT-based Service Systems - An Intelligent Decision-Making Support Systems Approach

Intelligent Decision-Making Support Systems (i-DMSS) are specialized IT-based systems that support some or several phases of the individual, team, organizational or inter-organizational decision making process by deploying some or several intelligent mechanisms. This book pursues the following academic aims: (i) generate a compendium of quality theoretical and applied contributions in Intelligent Decision-Making Support Systems (i-DMSS) for engineering and management IT-based service systems (ITSS); (ii) diffuse scarce knowledge about foundations, architectures and effective and efficient methods and strategies for successfully planning, designing, building, operating, and evaluating i-DMSS for ITSS, and (iii) create an awareness of, and a bridge between ITSS and i-DMSS academicians and practitioners in the current complex and dynamic engineering and management ITSS organizational. The book presents a collection of 11 chapters referring to relevant topics for both IT service systems and i-DMSS including: problems of selection of IT service providers, optimization of supply chain systems, IT governance decisions, clinical decision support, dynamic user-interface adaptation, re-engineering of processes, and generic decision problems. Advanced IT technologies used in some chapters are: fuzzy multi-criteria mechanisms, semantic processing, data mining processing, and rough sets. Other chapters report traditional DSS mechanisms but used or suggested to be used in innovative mode for IT service engineering and management tasks.
Education of the Engineer for Electrical Construction

A new and unique undergraduate program is being developed at Purdue University to educate engineers for work in the construction industry. Students selecting the electrical specialty option of the program will combine electric power engineering courses with management courses and with work experience on electrical construction projects to earn the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Construction). Active participation by the construction industry is an essential part of the program. Industry's desire for a more construction-oriented engineering graduate motivated the request for the program and motivates industry's support of summer internship opportunities. The curriculum is designed to provide the desired construction emphasis while offering a quality engineering education. In the electric power field, the result should be capable power engineers, better equipped for engineering practice.
Great books in psychology: Three studies in search of a consensus

Three studies were conducted to determine a consensual list of psychology's great books. In the first study, 39 colleges described the composition of their undergraduate Great Books (GBs) curricula. Fifty-six percent of the 39 colleges assigned some psychology-related materials, but these materials accounted for only 4% of all readings. In the second study, 186 psychologists nominated 463 books as psychology's GBs. In the third study, 83 APA division presidents and 117 Division Two fellows rated the books and authors most frequently nominated in the second study in terms of those that undergraduate psychology majors should read. Books achieving the highest ratings were James's Principles of Psychology, Hall and Lindzey's Theories of Personality, Skinner's Beyond Freedom and Dignity, Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and Boring's History of Experimental Psychology. Top rated authors were Skinner, Freud, James, Piaget, Rogers, Darwin, Bandura, G. Allport, and Erikson.
Which Set Existence Axioms are Needed to Prove the Cauchy/Peano Theorem for Ordinary Differential Equations?

We investigate the provability or nonprovability of certain ordinary mathematical theorems within certain weak subsystems of second order arithmetic. Specifically, we consider the Cauchy/Peano existence theorem for solutions of ordinary differential equations, in the context of the formal system RCA 0 whose principal axioms are comprehension and induction. Our main result is that, over RCA 0 , the Cauchy/Peano Theorem is provably equivalent to weak Konig's lemma, i.e. the statement that every infinite {0, 1}-tree has a path. We also show that, over RCA 0 , the Ascoli lemma is provably equivalent to arithmetical comprehension, as is Osgood's theorem on the existence of maximum solutions. At the end of the paper we digress to relate our results to degrees of unsolvability and to computable analysis.
Valor y sentido del conocimiento en las órdenes mendicantes del Siglo XIII

Value and meaning of knowledge in eighteenth century Mendicant Orders. The thirteenth century expresses itself by a University's own formulation, in which all knowledge must be oriented by sapientia sacrae paginae, which was expressed by theology. This was, undoubtedly, a Church ideal, but also a theoretical challenge for contemporary thinkers. With the epistemological complexity inherited from the twelfth century and the inclusion of mendicant orders in academic work, mainly the Dominicans and the Franciscans, this history of the ideas stage accompanies the basic antagonism: the naturalism of classic heritage - supported by Arabic thinking - and the Christian Humanism that competed against each other to explain Man's final goal. The value and the meaning of knowledge depended, largely, on the answer given to explain this diversity of perspectives. Moreover, despite the influence of the great ancient authors, Aristotelianism and Neo-Platonism were not prerogatives of a specific religious order. Thus, Neo-Platonism is found in St. Thomas writings while, the Franciscan School empirical orientation is also significant in England. Some, however, would agree about a unit of knowledge that could be interpreted under the label of transcendental beings. .
Crustal anatomy of a transform continental margin

This paper describes new deep Seismic reflection results across the major transform margin southwest of the Grand Banks, off eastern Canada. An interpretation of these results is presented, supplemented with previous Seismic refraction, gravity and magnetic measurements. The results show a fairly sharp transition between oceanic and continental regions at the transform margin. A narrow zone, about 40 km wide, separates the two regions and is interpreted to be a zone in which shearing has destroyed the original fabric of the continental crust. Faults in this region extend throughout the crust and there is some evidence that a major strike-slip fault may extend some tens of kilometres into the upper mantle. Magmatism may have further modified the crust in this shear zone, which is bounded on the oceanic side by a small seamount. The continental crust is thinned by a factor of 3 or more in this zone, which may be due to erosion or to flow in the lower crust during shearing. The oceanic crust does not appear to thin significantly as the transform margin is approached. Crustal-scale dipping reflectors over a confined region below the shelf are interpreted to represent the contact between two Appalachian terranes: the Meguma and Avalon terranes. This supports earlier interpretations of a large magnetic lineament in the region as marking this boundary. These crustal Seismic data crossing a large transform margin are the first of their kind and will help us to constrain evolutionary models of transform margins. The picture they provide is different in many respects from that across rifted margins and similar in others. In some cases it might be difficult to distinguish between these two classes of Atlantic-type margins on the basis of crustal structure.
The practice of knowledge innovation and the research of strengthened system of China's aviation industry

As the constraints of military security regulations, the lack of incentive system on property rights for the holders (or group) of critical knowledge and other reasons, the core employees of aviation industry are lack of desirability to share within a certain range of their critical knowledge, especially tacit knowledge generated during R&D and production. In this paper, innovative practice has been studied about knowledge innovation and knowledge sharing of the scientific research institutes and manufacturing corporations of the China Aviation Industry Corporation. The innovative system is designed from the China's aviation industry's overall plan of knowledge innovation project and the dynamic mechanism, which may trigger the aviation industry to enhance the intellectual capital of the endogenous mechanism and to promote the improvement of innovation performance and overall performance.
Up-to-date teaching and learning of quantum optics at the beginning of the XXIst century

The turn of the century has brought new perspectives for teaching Quantum Optics. Recent research results provide opportunities to educate specialists in the area with considerable less efforts than in the recent past. Important experiments can now be performed using cheaper optical sources. Full quantum electrodynamics approaches are often simpler to understand, and indeed more comprehensive than the semi-classical ones used before. This correlates well with the fact that it is easier to introduce quantum mechanics using Feynman's many path approach, the root of quantum electrodynamics, instead of the traditional picture based on a set of postulates. A set of cases is presented to demonstrate that full quantization of radiation and matter is not that hard to grasp by physics students with a background in quantum mechanics. The strong motivation achieved is reinforced with a set of medium cost experiments in which matter and radiation are seeing to interact, sometimes in surprising ways. Not to mention the motivating applications and high-technology potential of present quantum optics, the teaching of both introductory and advanced quantum optics can now be performed at the highest level with an effort which, if not less, is comparable with the required when using the semi-classical approach.
A quantum chemical study of the interaction of monomethyl mercury cation with G, H, S, and Y amino acids

Within DFT(B3LYP) methods, the potential interaction surface of a monomethyl mercury cation with G, H, S, and Y amino acids entering into the composition of the active cavity of acetylcholinesterase is studied. The preference for different centeres of amino acids for the interaction with the metal atom is investigated. The principal possibility of Cα-deprotonation of amino acid as a result of the interaction with the electronegative carbon center of methylmercury is analyzed. The effect of deprotonation is shown to cause demethylation of methylmercury. Iterative action is assumed to occur in Hg(II) and MeHg+ biochemical objects, which explains the high toxicity of microconcentrations of these compounds.
Evolution of the metal–insulator transition in oxygen nonstoichiometric YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystals under pressure

The influence of high hydrostatic pressure on the conductivity in the ab-plane of high-temperature superconductors of the YBa2Cu3O7−δ system is investigated. It was found that, an increase in the oxygen deficiency in YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystals leads to increased localization effects. It is determined that the metal–insulator type transition always precedes the superconducting transition. The increase in pressure, leads to a significant displacement of the point of the metal–insulator transition to the region of high temperatures.
Chronologies of a (sub)urbanized territory: Reimagining (sub)urbanization processes in southwest Flanders, Belgium

Chronologies of a (Sub)urbanized Territory explores how the depth and scope of an atlas can be increased through a careful engineering of the interplay between its constituent maps. This research aims to develop a structure for an atlas that can include the plural and often very diverse historical processes affecting the territory without jeopardizing the coherence of the atlas as a whole. Chronologies of a (Sub)urbanized Territory explores the perpetual reproduction of the heavily (sub)urbanized territory in southwest Flanders. The atlas is comprised of three diachronic map series: Frames , A Classic Chronology and Interrelations . Each series pictures the passage of time in a specific way and therefore offers a distinct 'take' on the history of the region. Perpendicular to these three diachronic map series, synchronic readings of the territory can be composed: the variation between the three series in terms of scale, and in the categories that are displayed, enable the reader to gain a multi-angled perspective on specific spatial phenomena at delimited periods of time. The different components of the atlas, and how they interrelate, are clarified by a metamap. The metamap is not merely a top-down organizational tool, but is intended to form the basis from which the reader can start to construct his or her own interpretations of the territory. 'Phenomena intersect, to see but one is to see nothing.' Victor Hugo (as cited in Jarvis 1997 )
An assertional proof for a construction of an atomic variable

The paper proves by assertional means the correctness of a construction of Haldar and Subramanian of an atomic shared variable for one writer and one reader. This construction uses four unsafe variables and four safe boolean variables. Assignment to a safe but nonatomic variable is modelled as a repetition of random assignments concluded by an actual assignment. The proof obligation consists of four invariants. These are proved using 25 auxiliary invariants. The proof has been constructed and verified with the theorem prover NQTHM.
Putting biodiversity data to work for marine environmental policy

Exploration of our oceans continues apace, but past and ongoing surveys have already left us with a vast legacy of biodiversity data. OBIS, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (iobis.org) contains >40 million records of marine organisms from all of the world’s marine regions, while WoRMS, the World Register of Marine Species (marinespecies.org) catalogues >220,000 species. In Sheffield we are developing the computational tools to visualise and analyse these data. This is feeding in to global assessments (e.g. WOA, the UN’s World Ocean Assessment, worldoceanassessment.org) and regional policy (e.g. MERP, the NERC/Defra Marine Ecosystems Research Programme, marine-ecosystems.org.uk).
Representing the German Nation: History and Identity in Twentieth-Century Germany

Questions concerning the representation of "reality" have for some time been central to debates in both literary criticism and historiography. This collection of essays is concerned with these issues of representation, interpretation and identity. Modern Germany - with its dramatic political ruptures from late unification in 1871 through to the formation of two opposing German states - provides a case study for an analysis of these themes. This study brings together historians and literary critics to look at the controversial issue of representations of identity in Germany since the war. In looking at works by Mann and Brecht, at the symbolism of Berlin, and at the writing of the Holocaust, it tries to engage directly with the image and reality of Germanness and the different constructs between East and West Germany.
Designing Software Project Management Models Based on Supply Chain Quality Assurance Practices

This paper is a project progress report of an innovative approach to software process improvements. It starts with a theory that whether some of the supply chain quality assurances practices be put into software projects as part of improving their development efficiencies. This paper is a snapshot of the events of this project. It starts with analyzing processes in various complex software projects. A test script automation project was chosen. This paper gives details on the factors on which the choice was made, how the process bottlenecks were identified and how a process improvement solution was designed. This process improvement solution includes a project management model which is capable to take into account all the new variables and provide the ability to track and monitor the process improvements made from this model, hence providing a productivity analysis capability. An excel workbook which was custom designed as part of the solution is also part of this paper. This excel workbook is where the project team members would enter the various times and is used by the project managers to estimate, track , monitor the productivity of the team in improving the delivery efficiencies in time and quality. In short, this is a snapshot of how a process improvement model can be designed which has a productivity analysis capability for a self feedback. This paper also describes the human factors such as reluctance to change and the overhead for the project members. This paper is an attempt to customize the regular project management techniques to target the process inefficiencies of complex software projects. This paper also provides of how to use customizations such as projects like these to create more generic models for process improvement solutions which have more robust productivity analyzing capabilities.
Consolidating the Electromagnetic Education of Graduate Students Through an Integrated Course

In the context of an international, English-spoken, post-graduate Telecommunications Engineering program, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bologna, Italy, offers a course “Electromagnetic Technologies for Link Design,” conceived for both telecommunications students and Master's students from various engineering fields, all with very different Bachelor degree backgrounds. The course addresses the increasing demand from industry for engineers who are comprehensively educated, rather than extremely specialized. The course lecturers have expertise in various areas of applied electromagnetics and use a deductive approach to show diverse applications, all grounded in the same basic electromagnetic concepts.
The Manifesta decade : debates on contemporary art exhibitions and biennials in post-wall Europe

Manifesta, the first itinerant European Biennial for Contemporary Art, emerged in a post-wall, globalizing Europe. Founded in 1993, it organized traveling exhibitions aimed at providing a new framework for cultural exchange and collaboration between artists and curators from across the continent. The Manifesta Decade marks Manifesta's ten years of exhibits with original essays, unpublished images, and texts that not only document the different Manifesta exhibits but also examine the cultural, curatorial, and political terrain of the Europe from which they sprang. Including contributions from philosophers, historians, and anthropologists, interviews with architect Rem Koolhaas and historian Jacques Le Goff, and essays by such curators and writers as Okwui Enwezor, Boris Groys, Maria Hlavajova, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, the collection traces the cultural and political developments of Europe in the 1990s. It reflects the debates incited by exhibitions such as Magiciens de la Terre, Documenta, and After the Wall and explores the changing roles of curators and artists in the new geo-political context. The issues discussed include the effect of communism's collapse on Eastern Europe, the role of Biennials in the context of globalization, and the ephemerality of exhibitions versus the permanence of the museum. The book's second section traces the history of Manifesta, from its conceptual foundations and contributions to artistic practices of the 1990s to the relationship of a roving Biennial to themes of multiculturalism, migration and diaspora. At a moment when biennials continue to proliferate worldwide, The Manifesta Decade takes Manifesta as a case study to look critically at the landscape from which new exhibition paradigms have emerged. The book's 100 images, both color and black and white, include unpublished installation shots of each Manifesta exhibition. Copublished with Roomade, Brussels, in collaboration with the International Foundation Manifesta, Amsterdam.
Position of zoned Pt-bearing alkali-ultrabasic plutons in the southeast of Russia according to the seismic tomography data

1049 Several ring basic and ultrabasic plutons associated with commercial platinoid placers were identified in the southeastern part of the North Asian craton. According to the commonly accepted geodynamic models imitating the region formation and the seismic tomography data, the subduction processes affected the Asian–Pacific Ocean convergence zone in the Mesozoic initiated the development of the stagnated oceanic slab in the mantle transition zone. Its NE and SW boundaries likely coincide with the transform faults.
A novel route to synthesis polythiophene with great yield and high electrical conductivity without post doping process

Polythiophene (PTh) was synthesized by a standard chemical oxidation procedure by using Ferric chloride (FeCl 3 ) as an oxidizer without any post doping process. The synthesis procedure was optimized by varying different parameters like reaction temperature, monomer to oxidizer ratio, solvent system, reaction time and oxidizer addition time to realize the maximum electrical conductivity and without compromising on product yield. In the optimized synthesis procedure, highest yield of 80% with a maximum electrical conductivity of 9 Scm −1 was achieved. These results are first of its kind in the literature reported so far for the similar conditions. The enhancement of electrical conductivity was attributed to the increase in the degree of polymerization under the optimized reaction conditions and was substantiated with UV–Vis, Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), FTIR, NMR solid state, SEM, XRD and DSC studies. This paper is the first of its kind to report the room temperature synthesis procedure of PTh with highest electrical conductivity and yield.
The crystallization of amorphous Fe2MnGe powder prepared by ball milling

We synthesized for the first time the intermetallic compound Fe 2 MnGe. To avoid preferential evaporation of volatile components we exploited mechanical alloying. Amorphous Fe 2 MnGe alloy powder was prepared by planetary ball milling elemental starting materials. The amorphous-to-crystalline transition was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A cubic D0 3 phase is formed at low temperature and transforms to a high-temperature hexagonal D0 19 phase. The apparent activation energy was determined by means of the Kissinger method.
