Recognising the importance of transitioning to a markets-based economy, with the attendant benefit of competition, as the most effective method of increasing economic competitiveness, the paper discusses the consequent limitations and problems that are likely to arise during the transition. It confines itself primarily to infrastructure sectors (most often characterised by natural monopolies an...

The application of new technologies in training environments allows the development of new teaching modalities that enable knowledge and ability acquisition in healthcare professionals. Simulation has proven to be an effective method to favor and improve learning as well as to attain the necessary skills to perform a specific technique with greater reliability and security for the patient. We p...

Mass consumption of energy is a big problem. Energy-saving activities which are a solution to this problem have been attracting a lot of attention. Nevertheless, in order to engage in thorough energy-saving activities, consumers need support; on the other hand, even with support, the effects seem to be only temporary. In this paper, to obtain a long-term effect, we focus on developing a method ...

AbstraEt Supply chah management has become one of the most important sources of competitive advantage in different indusmes. For years, researchers have investigated the various processes within supply chain. There has been an increasing attention placed on perfomancc, design and analysis of supply chain. However, the-apply chain is a complex model so it is difficult to analyze the performance ...

As the result of information technology's development, promoted the tradition payment means enormously to the computerization development advancement. The electronic payment has accelerated the money circulation speed, and has brought the enormous convenience for the modern trade activity. But the electronic payment's characteristics such as invisible, high speed, concealment and so on have pro...

One-to-one tutoring is an extremely effective method for producing learning gains in students and for contributing to greater understanding and positive attitudes towards learning. However, learning inevitably involves failure and a host of positive and negative affective states. In an attempt to explore the link between emotions and learning this research has collected data on student affectiv...

Retrieving similar images from a large dataset based on the image content has been a very active research area and is a very challenging task. Studies have shown that retrieving similar images based on their shape is a very effective method. For this purpose a large number of methods exist in literature. The combination of more than one feature has also been investigated for this purpose and ha...

The Global Vectors for word representation (GloVe), introduced by Jeffrey Pennington et al. [3] is reported to be an efficient and effective method for learning vector representations of words. State-of-the-art performance is also provided by skip-gram with negative-sampling (SGNS) [2] implemented in the word2vec tool. In this note, we explain the similarities between the training objectives of...
