The need to improve the accuracy of carbon emission measurements is a major issue which the tourism industry must resolve in order to reduce adverse impacts on climate change and the environment. This study established a detailed consumption list based on household survey data and calculated the carbon emissions of accommodation and services of the rural tourism industry of Mount Qingcheng usin...

This paper addresses a model of analogy-driven theorem proving that is more general and cognitively more adequate than previous approaches. The model works at the level of proof-plans. More precisely, we consider analogy as a control strategy in proof planning that employs a source proof-plan to guide the construction of a proof-plan for the target problem. Our approach includes a reformulation...

Social interaction is a dynamic and joint activity where all participants are engaged and coordinate their behaviour in the co-construction of meaning. It is observed that conversational partners adapt their pitch, intensity and timing behaviour to their interlocutors. The majority of research has focused on its linear manifestation over the course of an interaction. De Looze et al hypothesised...

In these conditions, the primary task of State is organization temporary accommodation points capable providing affected population with housing units in a short time. addition, if it impossible to equip permanent places residence time, there provide facilities necessary infrastructure. The purpose research develop substant...

Our expert system aims at the optimum and fast plan making for shield-tunneling works. It is an expert system of applied design problems that integrates such advanced technologies as relational databases , AI, and computer-aided design (CAD). This expert system is able to design and draw a suitable shield machine with an automatic output of design calculations and also specify an optimum contro...

The purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. This paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (DES) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to rank different scena...
