Soon after the UK’s Feed-in Tariff (FiT) Scheme providing incentive prices for renewable energy was introduced in 2010, adjustments and modifications were made to eligibility criteria prices. Prices paid (RE) under scheme cut, deployment caps introduced, preliminary accreditation efficiency standards imposed. Controversy ensued as supporters sought help nascent RE technologies, while detractors...

We investigate the feasibility of aligning Chinese and English parse trees by examining cases of incompatibility between Chinese-English parallel parse trees. This work is done in the context of an annotation project wherewe construct a parallel treebank by doingword and phrase alignments simultaneously. We discuss the most common incompatibility patterns identified within VPs and NPs and show ...

Product compatibility is becoming increasingly important especially in the IT industry due to a high level of network effect in this industry. This study empirically examines the business value of IT product compatibility initiatives with respect to the nature of the compatibility achieved (i.e., horizontal compatibility, vertical compatibility) and the type of focal product (i.e., software, ha...

Web services are becoming one of the main technologies for designing and building complex inter-enterprise business applications. Usually, a business application cannot be fulfilled by one Web service but by coordinating a set of them. In particular, to perform a coordination, one of the important investigations is the compatibility analysis. Two Web services are said compatible if they can int...

Innovation literature has long advocated that an innovation may be compatible or incompatible with an organization’s existing systems or resources (Rogers 1983). Compatibility of an innovation has traditionally meant that the innovation is compatible with the existing values, skills, and work practices of potential adopters. However, Tornatzky and Klein (1982) criticized this multi-faceted defi...

Memristive devices are novel devices, which can be used in applications such as memory, logic, and neuromorphic systems. A memristive device offers several advantages to existing applications: nonvolatility, good scalability, effectively no leakage current, and compatibility with CMOS technology, both electrically and in terms of manufacturing. Several models for memristive devices have been de...

This paper investigates a measurement method and an empirical model that predict a performance reduction of 802.11b WLAN service. To preserve quality of wireless digital communication service above 1 GHz in a noise environment, the prediction method is important and has many electromagnetic compatibility institutes focused in the method to determine permissible disturbance limits. There are man...

Traditionally psychometric tests were used for profiling incoming workers. These methods use DISC profiling method to classify people into distinct personality types, which are further used to predict if a person may be a possible fit to the organizational culture. This concept is taken further by introducing a novel technique to predict if a particular pair of an incoming worker and the manage...

Recently, an increasing interest has been put on spectrally-efficient multi-carrier superchannels for beyond 100G. Apart from orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and Nyquist wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), another low-complexity WDM approach based on transmitter-side pre-filtering and receiver-side duobinary shaping is proposed to build up multi-carrier superchannels. This...
