Despite the numerous success stories of organizations that have responded to external and internal stimuli to become knowledge-based, a number of organizations are still struggling to achieve the proposed benefits of managing their knowledge assets. By viewing KM as a strategic renewal process and studying the impact and interaction of strategic renewal forces with KM process forces, this paper...

Analysis and characterization of contact forces are important in fixture design and robotic grasping since they define the object stability during fixturing or grasping. This paper presents a description of passive forces arising at the normal and frictional contacts by passive physical means. The passivity nature requires application of the minimum norm principle to solve a constrained quadrat...

The present paper aims to improve the dynamical balancing of a slider-crank mechanism. This mechanism has been widely used in internal combustion engines, especially vehicle engines; hence, its dynamical balancing is important significantly. To have a full balance mechanism, the shaking forces and shaking moment of foundations should be eliminated completely. However, this elimination is usuall...

iv " Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary. " [8] v ABSTRACT To find a shape in an image, a technique called snakes or active contours can be used. An active contour is a curve that moves towards the sought-for shape in a ...

The standingpile has been applied quite extensive in our country, which is one of the three major structure forms quay. Take internal force calculation wharf track beam Jiangsu Taizhou for example, this paper studied bar system finite element method processing rigid support and elastic support. Using different bearing mode to calculate force, results show that corresponding models big differenc...
