In large process deployments where an enterprise has to model and maintain a large number of processes that are specializations of each other it is advantageous to provide formal support for process specialization called process inheritance. A process inheritance model definition is introduced as well as a process definition language construct for defining process specialization.

Multilayer composite membrane of biomaterials can increase the function of adipose stem cells or osteoprogenitor cells. Recent evidence indicates endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and EPCs released microvesicles (MVs) play important roles in angiogenesis and vascular repair. Here, we investigated the effects of biomaterial multilayer membranes of hyaluronic acid (HA) or chondroitin sulfate (C...

In this paper, we consider applying multilayer, convolutional neural networks to construct a complete end-to-end text recognition system with performance comparable to the current state-of-the-art. Such a system demonstrates the possibility of using a single, unified architecture for both text detection and recognition with minimal need for elaborate hand-engineering of features.

In this paper, we propose a deep neural network based natural language processing system for semantic textual similarity prediction. We leverage multi-layer bidirectional LSTM to learn sentence representation. After that, we construct matching features followed by Highway Multilayer Perceptron to make predictions. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach can’t get better results on s...

In a recent project the Ada language turned out to be not as flexible as we expected it to be. This forced us to model our application in a way that was less elegant, less maintainable and less efficient. In this paper we propose to add a language construct to the language that would enable us to do what we were missing. The extension is based on finite unions with dispatching and can quite eas...

In this work we construct a software model for the multilayer perceptron neural network. The whole process is carried out in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which provides a formal framework for the modeling of software systems. The final implementation, called Flood, has been written in the C++ Programming Language and placed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

A hyperbolic bration is set of q ?1 hyperbolic quadrics and two lines which together partition the points of PG(3; q). The classical example of a hyperbolic bration comes from a pencil of quadrics; however, several other families are known. In this paper we construct a new family of hyperbolic brations for odd prime powers q. As an application of hyperbolic brations, we note that they can be us...

This paper studies the information content of some Ifo indicators. In particular, we investigate whether two Ifo indicators, one on the current business situation, the other on current production development, provide information on revisions of German industrial production. A new feature of our analysis is the construction and use of a real-time dataset. We conclude that the Ifo indicators play...

It has been recognized that there is a need for a language mechanism that support reuse of collections of related classes. Existing approaches either use an enclosing class for this purpose, or introduce a special purpose, new language construct. In this paper we explore the use of packages for the grouping of related classes. Ordinary packages are already grouping of classes, so we explore the...

Recently, the focus of complex networks research has shifted from the analysis of isolated properties of a system toward a more realistic modeling of multiple phenomena multilayer networks. Motivated by the prosperity of multilayer approach in social, transport or trade systems, we propose the introduction of multilayer networks for language. The multilayer network of language is a unified fram...
