Abstract This study aims at revising the history of knowledge management in service design organizations to discover what sources, technologies, tools, and users have been used how may thus help improve consultants’ performance. Also, this sheds light on importance decomposing (knowledge-leveling being said article) before tackling management. Moreover, provides a real case investigation organi...

Chiayi County is located in the largest alluvial plain of Taiwan with extensive aquaculture and rice farming sustained by water extracted from groundwater wells. Chiayi is a typical aquaculture area affected by land subsidence, yet such lands worldwide combine to provide nearly 90% of global aquaculture products, greatly reducing oceanic overfishing problems. This study uses precision leveling,...

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), widely applied for the monitoring of land subsidence, has the advantage of high accuracy and wide coverage. High-resolution SAR data offers a chance to reveal impressive details of large-scale man-made linear features (LMLFs) with Multi-temporal InSAR (MT-InSAR) analysis. Despite these advantages, research validating high-resolution MT-InSAR resu...

Resource allocation is the process of assigning resources to tasks throughout life a project. Despite sophisticated software packages devoted keeping track tasks, and resource assignments, it often case that project managers find some over-allocated therefore unable complete assigned work in allotted amount time. Most scheduling has provisions for leveling resources, but techniques doing so sim...

Due to the limited erasure/program cycles of flash memory, flashbased SSDs need to prolong their life time using wear-leveling mechanism to meet their advertised capacity all the time. However, there is no wear-leveling mechanism among SSDs in RAID system, which makes some SSDs wear out faster than others. Once any one of SSDs fails, reconstruction must be triggered immediately. But, the cost o...

In radar images, point scatterers provide reflections that can often be attributed to a single physical object, usually smaller than the resolution cell size. Stable point scatterers with high backscatter coefficients through time (mainly ’man-made features’) are potential targets for InSAR deformation analysis. A-priori knowledge about the observation statistics of InSAR point scatterer measur...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of active and passive lacebacks on antero-posterior position of maxillary first molars and central incisors during leveling phase. Twenty-three subjects with Class I and Class II malocclusion were treated with first premolars extraction using preadjusted appliances (MBT 0.022-inch brackets). The leveling phase was performed with stainless ste...

We describe the design, development and initial evaluation of an interactive virtual environment whose objective is to help undergraduate students learn and review the concepts and practices of differential leveling. The virtual environment, which includes realistic terrains and leveling instruments that look, operate, and produce results comparable to the physical ones, is not meant to replace...

INTRODUCTION A wide variety of orthodontic wires made of different alloys is available to be used in orthodontic practice and may produce different clinical responses during tooth movement. OBJECTIVE This research evaluated the alignment and leveling of lower dental arches after the use of three types of orthodontic wires. METHODS A sample of 36 patients was randomly divided into 3 groups: ...

To select the best geo-potential model for the determination of Hong Kong and Shenzhen local geoids, three models EGM96, WDM94 and GPM98CR were tested in the region using GPS/leveling data and gravity measurements. The data include GPS/leveling observations at 43 stations, 640 gravity measurements covering the whole territory of Hong Kong, and 62 high precision GPS/leveling observations and 487...
