Traceability and rationale management are utmost critical, especially in distributed collaborative software development projects, due to a lack of mutual workplace awareness and informal coordination among the participating stakeholders. Therefore, this paper presents the rationale behind and implementation of a conceptional design for a novel approach to traceability and rationale management i...

Background Alcohol consumption levels in Russia are among the highest in the world [1]. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in children are completely preventable by avoiding alcohol use during pregnancy [2]; yet, substantial numbers of women around the world consume alcohol during pregnancy mostly prior to pregnancy recognition [3-5]. A U.S. prevention model, Project CHOICES, utilized a pre-conce...

While the “Universal Description, Discovery and Integration” (UDDI) service registry standard has drawn great attention by the research community, it has not been widely adopted by the software industry. Objections towards UDDI include technical as well as conceptional arguments. Being an official ISO standard and providing a number of features UDDI is missing, “Electronic Business using Extens...

Multiclass classification is of great interest for various applications, example, it a common task in computer vision, where one needs to categorize an image into three or more classes. Here we propose quantum machine learning approach based on convolutional neural networks solving the multiclass problem. The corresponding procedure implemented via TensorFlowQuantum as hybrid quantum-classical ...

Since there has been tremendous progress in planning and scheduling in the process industry during the last 20 years, it might be worthwhile to give an overview of the current state-of-the-art of planning and scheduling problems in the chemical process industry. This is the purpose of the current review which has the following structure: we start with some conceptional thoughts and some comment...

We apply ideas from intersection theory on toric varieties to tropical intersection theory. We introduce mixed Minkowski weights on toric varieties which interpolate between equivariant and ordinary Chow cohomology classes on complete toric varieties. These objects fit into the framework of tropical intersection theory developed by Allermann and Rau. Standard facts about intersection theory on ...
