Abstract The increasing globalisation, the multiculturality of workplaces and current challenges for organisations generated need researchers to support them manage workforce. Although relevance employee voice these themes, a lack shared understanding about this topic results in fragmented literature across within research fields that limits theoretical advancement deep comprehension phenomenon...

In this paper, we introduce a problem structuring method (PSM) called “Value Map”. Value Map is an extension to the Supplier Adopter Relationship Diagram in the Systemic Enterprise Architecture Method (SEAM). Value Map assists in understanding, analysis and design of value creation and capture in service systems. To develop the Value Map, we reviewed the literature that examine value creation a...

The two-year C OBE-DMR 53 and 90 GHz sky maps, in both galactic and ecliptic coordinates, are used to determine the normalisation of innationary universe models with a at global geometry and adiabatic density perturbations. The appropriately normalised cold and mixed dark matter models and cosmological constant dominated, cold dark matter models, computed for a range of values of b and h, are t...

Humans can learn concepts or recognize items from just a handful of examples, while machines require many more samples to perform the same task. In this paper, we build a computational model to investigate the possibility of this kind of rapid learning. The proposed method aims to improve the learning task of input from sensory memory by leveraging the information retrieved from long-term memor...

A conceptual system to produce 3D thermal models of tires for tire inspection and defect characterization is proposed. The system uses registered range and thermal information to build highly detailed 3D models using either a volumetric or meshbased approach. To achieve this goal, two narrow bandpass filters are used in conjunction with two IR cameras to obtain the true temperature of the targe...

In this paper we consider a Multi Carrier Code Division Multiplex (MC–CDM) scheme. At the receiver side the Maximum A Posteriori Symbol–by–Symbol Estimator (MAPSSE) is used for the detection of the CDM signal. Therefore the influence of the spreading factor on the overall Bit Error Rate (BER) is investigated. We concatenate the MAPSSE with the channel decoder which allows for iterative decoding...

Ontologies facilitate the integration of heterogeneous data sources by resolving semantic heterogeneity between them. This research aims to study the possibility of generating a domain conceptual model from a given ontology with the vision to grow this generated conceptual data model into a global conceptual model integrating a number of existing data and information sources. Based on ontologic...
