The study attempts to assess the impact of the educational level of the country’s population, the level of science and technology development on the general environmental environment. The aim of this article is to assess the impact of educational level and level of science development on individual elements that reflect the state of the environment. To receive the obtained results is being used...

The analysis of biological shapes has applications in many areas of biology, and tools exist to quantify organ shape and detect shape differences between species or among variants. However, such measurements do not provide any information about the mechanisms of shape generation. Quantitative data on growth patterns may provide insights into morphogenetic processes, but since growth is a comple...

In this paper the on-going process of integration of tools from process and product design with concepts of microeconomics and finances is discussed. The paper focuses in two such integrations. It is first shown that financial risk considerations can alter the decisions made in a project or in process operations. Then it is shown that some parameters that used to be considered data by PSE model...

Recent experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of pair programming in terms of quality and productivity. Growing interest towards global software development is fostering the design of suitable methods and tools for distributing software processes, at any level of detail, from entire subprocesses up to a single activity. Consequently, people placed in different locations could also share pro...

The importance of contemplating perspectives can be illustrated by a famous garden at the Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Built in the late 1400s, the garden has 15 simple stones laid in meticulously raked white gravel. A veranda allows visitors to view the layout of the stones and pause for a moment of reflection. The positioning of the stones is fascinating; from any vantage point an observer...

We present an integrated debugging environment that facilitates designers in simulating, debugging, and visualizing their SystemC models combining high-level debugging with a visualization frontend.

BACKGROUND With rapid economic development and industrialization, the construction industry continues to rank among the most hazardous industries in the world. Therefore, construction safety is always a significant concern for both practitioners and researchers. The objective of this study was to create a structural modeling of components that influence the safety performance in construction pr...

Spreadsheets are an extremely common form of end-user programming used for many applications from student marks to accounting for global multinationals. Ways of studying the structure of a spreadsheet itself is normally constrained to the tools provided in the spreadsheet software. We wanted to explore ways to use new visualisations for spreadsheets, and this paper documents our approach.
