Information and Communication Technology is a compendium of interrelated applications, products and services that can either deepen or alter gender equality. It has successfully transformed education, businesses, healthcare, entertainment, politics and good governance within the Global North; providing equitable access to developmental framework driven by ICTs. However, in drafting the core dev...

In the past all engineering students took a drafting class. This involved the use of T-squares, triangles, architectural scales, pounce, eraser shields, bow compasses, pencils, and patience. It gave students a sense of how drawings and diagrams are made and used. As new subjects have come into the curriculum most engineering programs have dropped the drafting requirement, or at least replaced i...

A theoretical framework for protocooperative behavior in pelotons (groups of cyclists) is proposed. A threshold between cooperative and free-riding behaviors in pelotons is modeled, together comprising protocooperative behavior (unlike protocooperation). Protocooperative behavior is a function of: 1. two or more cyclists coupled by drafting benefit; 2. current power output or speed; and 3. cycl...

This article presents the FORMALEX toolset, an approach to legislative drafting that, based on the similarities between software specifications and some types of regulations, uses off-the-shelf LTL model checkers to perform automatic analysis on normative systems.

-. In this paper, we propose a case study to compare the learning difference on a Computer added Drafting (CAD) course between traditional learning and e-learning. The learning materials for the e-learning were designed in Shareable

In this paper we will present a method for mining information within legal texts, in particular in regards to corpora of statutes. Text mining, or more in general Information Extraction, can provide a valuable help to people involved in research about the linguistic structure of statutes, and, as a side effect can be the seed for a new generation of applications for the validation and conversio...

This paper describes the development of computer-aided design of a very precise progressive die for lead frame of semiconductor chip. The approach to the system is based on knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results, and the empirical knowledge of field experts. This system has been written in AutoLISP using AutoCAD on a personal...
