The street garment vendors are playing a significant role in the fields of the economic development through protecting resources (garment products) from such a position where they are treated as wastes; very much less valued products and creating the opportunity for self-employment. This study aimed at showing the economic contribution and the impact of the street vendors to the local community...

Abstract Following the current trend of energy economy, article’s team designed a vending machine made sandwich panels, in order to minimize heat transfer from environment chilled volume. The inputs calculation was based on data provided panels’ technical sheets. In this paper, real performance operation monitored, resulting deviation between 2.27 and 5.37% theoretical values for global coeffic...

Reuse has long been recognized as a key technology that can bring about signi cant productivity gains in software development. Code-level reuse is wellunderstood and frequently practiced. However, reuse in software requirements, another phase where much bene t can be expected, remains inadequately addressed. Hierarchical Colored Petri Net (HCPN) formalism has been successfully used on several l...

Programmable logic devices (PLDs) are gaining in acceptance, of late, for designing systems of all complexities ranging from glue logic to special purpose parallel machines. Higher densities and integration levels are made possible by the new breed of complex PLDs and FPGAs. The added complexities of these devices make automatic computer aided tools indispensable for achieving good performance ...

Source coding with a side information "vending machine" is a recently proposed framework in which the statistical relationship between the side information available at the decoder and the source sequence can be controlled by the decoder based on the message received from the encoder. In this paper, the characterization of the optimal rate-distortion performance as a function of the cost associ...

This paper introduces the idea of predicting ‘designer error’ by evaluating devices using Human Error Identification (HEI) techniques. This is demonstrated using Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA) and Task Analysis for Error Identification (TAFEI) to evaluate a vending machine. Appraisal criteria which rely upon user opinion, face validity and utilisation are ques...

A human being’s daily activities – professional or private – are based on a broad range of interactions with numerous external objects: discussing project plans with colleagues, setting up a multimedia presentation in the conference room, editing documents, delegating travel planning to a secretary, driving a car, buying a ticket from a vending machine, visiting an exhibition, controlling the T...

CSP-OZ-DC is a new combination of three well researched formal techniques for the specification of processes, data and time: CSP [Hoare 1985], Object-Z [Smith 2000], and Duration Calculus [Zhou et al. 1991]. This combination is illustrated by specifying the train controller of a case study on radio controlled railway crossings. The technical contribution of the paper is a smooth integration of ...

Human inertial thinking schemes can be formed through learning, which are then applied to quickly solve similar problems later. However, when problems are significantly different, inertial thinking generally presents the solutions that are definitely imperfect. In such cases, people will apply creative thinking, such as reverse thinking, to solve problems. Similarly, machine learning methods al...

Deep learning-based methods have achieved good performance in various recognition benchmarks mostly by utilizing single modalities. As different modalities contain complementary information to each other, multi-modal based are proposed implicitly utilize them. In this paper, we propose a simple technique, called correspondence learning (CL), which explicitly learns the relationship among multip...
