The need for simplifying Environmental Assessment (EA), and potential that simplification holds, has not only been raised by policymakers but also scholars. Despite recent years’ focus increased push EA world-wide – hereunder argued because of the accelerating climate investments green transition fact is a new agenda, studies exploring types effects remain scarce. Although there in EA, several ...

multilayer bach propagation neural networks have been considered by researchers. despite their outstanding success in managing contact between input and output, they have had several drawbacks. for example the time needed for the training of these neural networks is long, and some times not to be teachable. the reason for this long time of teaching is due to the selection unsuitable network par...

Context: Software Reference Architectures (SRAs) play a fundamental role for organizations whose business greatly depends on the efficient development and maintenance of complex software applications. However, little is known about the real value and risks associated with SRAs in industrial practice. Objective: To investigate the current industrial practice of SRAs in a single company from the ...

The Kohonen algorithm (SOM) was originally defined as a stochastic algorithm which works in an on-line way and which was designed to model some plastic features of the human brain. In fact it is nowadays extensively used for data mining, data visualization, and exploratory data analysis. Some users are tempted to use the batch version of the Kohonen algorithm (KBATCH) since it is a deterministi...

Micro lubrication or also known as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) serves as an alternative to flood cooling by reducing the volume of cutting fluid used in the machining process; but not without significant health concerns. Flood cooling is primarily used to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and work piece interface during machining process. The adverse health effects caused by the use of...
