For the precaution against physical soil degradation in managed soils, accurate planning data about anthropogenic impacts and for policy making applicable indicators to describe the driving force and state are required. To assess the potential erosion risk, accurate information is available, but to assess the actual erosion risk it is necessary to regard current land-use and cultivation data fo...

In this paper, we dealt with substantial asset analysis methodology applied to twodimensional asset classification and qualitative evaluation method according to the business process. Most of the existent risk analysis methodology and tools presented classification by asset type and physical evaluation by a quantitative method. We focused our research on qualitative evaluation with 2-dimensiona...

The voluntary use of private device by employees without formal approval of the IT department, commonly termed Shadow IT, is an increasingly widespread phenomenon. In this paper, we study the role of private smartphones (and related applications like WhatsApp) in knowledge-intensive practices in the manufacturing domain. With an in-depth case study based on data gained from observations and int...

This study investigated the effect of different scientific inquiry activities on visitors' understanding of the science underlying an interactive exhibit. The exhibit, "colored shadows," creates a pattern of colored shadows on a white wall, due to a person's body blocking the light from colored lamps. The subjects were 392 museum visitors, aged 7 to adult. They were individually guided through ...

Spreadsheets are important business tools. Increasingly they are being used for simulation e.g. to perform risk analysis. Such tasks have far greater computational demands than traditional spreadsheet bookkeeping applications. In this paper we show how spreadsheets can support supercomputing. This is achieved without requiring the spreadsheet user to have specialist tools or knowledge. The key ...
