Nowadays digitalization is changing manufacturing and work in many companies. A keyword for the linkage between production systems and information and communication technology is the term Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 affects the whole working environment and requires a cultural change of the organization. Currently many technological solutions are available because much research from an engineeri...

The potential for education of the motion picture was early recognized by many, but technological and use constraints have limited, or perhaps just postponed, the fulfilment of this vision. Significant technological advances and the new tendencies for media convergence and integration are transforming video into a dominant medium, suggesting new ways to support learning activities. The purpose ...

Daewoo Shipbuilding Company, one of the largest shipbuilders in the world, had difficulties with planning and scheduling its production process. To solve the problems, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Daewoo have been jointly performing the DAS (DAewoo Shipbuilding Scheduling) Project for three years from 1991 to 1993. To develop the integrated scheduling systems, ...

muFly EU project started in 2006 with the idea to build an autonomous micro helicopter, comparable in size and weight to a small bird. Several scientific and technological objectives were identified. This spanned from system-level integration, high efficiency micro-actuation, highly integrated micro vision sensors and IMUs and also low processing power navigation algorithms. This paper shows ho...

BACKGROUND There have been substantial research and technological developments in Radiation Oncology over the past 40 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS The relevant literature was reviewed and the authors offer their perspective on future opportunities for advancement in Radiation Oncolog...

Obtaining semantic labels on a large scale radiology image database (215,786 key images from 61,845 unique patients) is a prerequisite yet bottleneck to train highly effective deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models for image recognition. Nevertheless, conventional methods for collecting image labels (e.g., Google search followed by crowd-sourcing) are not applicable due to the formidabl...

Labels such as “third world” and “developing countries” have been used for more than 60 years to delineate the differences between poor and rich countries. Subsequently, many other classifications have arisen to categorize countries on the basis of wealth. Despite the controversies over such classifications, international development organizations, development banks, and governments have been w...

The neural origin of the steady-state vergence eye movement error, called binocular fixation disparity, is not well understood. Further, there has been no study that quantitatively relates the dynamics of the vergence system to its steady-state behavior, a critical test for the understanding of any oculomotor system. We investigate whether fixation disparity can be related to the dynamics of op...

technological innovation, because of its curtail role in socio-economic development is one of the important aspects of governmental policies. in this article technological innovation is studied by an institutional approach. public policy by applying this approach could use norms, regulations and other institutional measures to improve innovations and technological policy. more specifically in t...
