We define a specialization inheritance mechanism for object-oriented programming, admitting covariant redefinition of both methods and instance variables in subclassing. We investigate on the semantic weakness that makes such very flexible inheritance infeasible for a statically type-checked programming language supporting polymorphic assignment and polymorphic method invocation. We show that t...

Design patterns offer many advantages for software development, but can introduce inefficiency into the final program. Program specialization can eliminate such overheads, but is most effective when targeted by the user to specific bottlenecks. Consequently, we propose that these concepts are complementary. Program specialization can optimize programs written using design patterns, and design p...

AbstractThis paper studies the task of conditional Human Motion Animation (cHMA). Given a source image and driving video, model should animate new frame sequence, in which person perform similar motion as pose sequence from video. Despite success Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) methods video synthesis, it is still very challenging to conduct cHMA due difficulty efficiently utilizing guide...

Leather craft products, such as belt, gloves, shoes, bag, and wallet are mainly originated from cow, crocodile, lizard, goat, sheep, buffalo, and stingray skin. Before the skins are used as leather craft materials, they go through a tanning process. With the rapid development of leather craft industry, an automation system for leather tanning factories is important to achieve large scale produc...

The empowerment of small-medium scale industries must be carried out thoroughly through the provision of business development opportunities to the greatest extent so as to be able to increase the role and potential of the industries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the internal influence of the human resources competencies on technology and the organizational readiness to the level of ...

We developed and validated a scale to measure employees' perceived opportunity to craft (POC) in two separate studies conducted in the Netherlands (total N = 2329). POC is defined as employees' perception of their opportunity to craft their job. In Study 1, the perceived opportunity to craft scale (POCS) was developed and tested for its factor structure and reliability in an explorative way. St...
