Vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy was used to study the nanoscale geometric effects on molecular conformation of dodecanethiol ligand on gold nanoparticles of varying size between 1.8 and 23 nm. By analyzing the CH3 and CH2 stretch transitions of dodecanethiol using the spectroscopic propensity rules for the SFG process, we observe the increase of the gauche defects in th...

Decision support and global knowledge discovery on SCM system have become an important issue, since SCM has become a common way for achieving competitive advantage. This research proposes a distributed data mining mechanism that uses a relationship metadata to integrate the data source derived from partner of the supply chain, thus solving the problem of excessive and various data volume in the...

the aim of this study was to represent effective componentsin demand chain which help organizations attain high performance levelsthrough identification of these components and determining theirdegree of importance. the following questions were major ideas of thisstudy: what are the most effective components in demand chain? andhow are they effective on organizational performance? to this end,m...

With the technology development, the need of analyze and extraction of useful information is increasing. Bayesian networks contain knowledge from data and experts that could be used for decision making processes But they are not easily understandable thus the rule extraction methods have been used but they have high computation costs. To overcome this problem we extract rules from Bayesian netw...

This paper proposes an approach to training rough set models using Bayesian framework trained using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. The prior probabilities are constructed from the prior knowledge that good rough set models have fewer rules. Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling is conducted through sampling in the rough set granule space and Metropolis algorithm is used as an acceptance cr...

We present new quadrature rules (stencil operators) for the eecient integration of Gaus-sian chain polymer density functionals on a uniform 3D grid for diierent ratios between the Gaussian bond strength parameter and the mesh width. The algorithm is in essence oo-lattice. The quadrature rules are such that the isotropy on the grid is maximal. Also the long length scaling of the numerical functi...

Currently, LF ’s NLP chain has a bottleneck. Module RuDriCo (Rule Driven Converter) is substantially slower than the remaining modules of the chain. RuDriCo is a rule-based morphological disambiguator with the possibility to change segmentation (join or split tokens). This paper describes the changes made to the system to improve its performance by using the concept of layers and also by reduci...

This paper provides an assessment on the impact of collaboration and smoothing replenishment rules on supply chain operational performance and customer service level. Three supply chain configurations (i.e. Traditional, Information Exchange and Synchronised) in which orders are generated by smoothing (S, R) inventory control policies, are studied for variations of proportional controller for di...

The provisions of the new RF Foreign Policy Concept are compared both with previous versions this document (adopted in 2013 and 2016) effective National Security Strategy. Structural, normative, strategic novelties discussed. They determine not only Russia’s foreign policy priorities changing world order but also substantiate, ideologically geopolitically, its commitment to these priorities. A ...
