In this pilot study, we explored the difference in the use of occupational competence strategies for daily participation between more active and less active older Hispanic women. Twenty-nine women who were 70 and older and lived alone participated in this study. We used a mixed-methods design by which the principal investigator administered a tool to measure participation restrictions during th...

This paper shows different issues in the construction and knowledge representation of an intelligent dictionary help system. IDHS (Intelligent Dictionary Help System) is conceived as a monolingual (explanatory) dictionary system for human use (Artola & Evrard, 92). The fact that it is intended for people instead of automatic processing distinguishes it from other systems dealing with the acquis...

We present results concerning the parameter estimates obtained by prediction error methods in the case of input signals that are insuuciently rich. Such input signals are typical of industrial measurements where occasional stepwise reference changes occur. As is intuitively obvious, the data located around the input signal discontinuities carry most of the useful information. Using singular val...

The paper deal about automated assembly manufacturing cell design. First part is about Methods and techniques used for assembly systems design. Next part describes specific CAD systems used for design process of our assembly cell. With help of this CAD toll we have design geometric disposition of all system elements by CATIA and also parts of control system by FluidSim. Whole design problematic...

Never touch a running system! This proverb is essentially true when dealing with complex mature software systems that have been run for years. When it comes to modifying certain aspects due to performance enhancements or to customer needs, maintainers spend quite significant time to understand the behavior of thewhole system. As is practice today, only static documentation is available for such...

The process of refining the research question in a medical study depends greatly on current background investigated subject. information found prior works can directly impact several stages study, namely cohort definition stage. Besides previous published methods, researchers could also leverage other materials, such as output selection tools, to enrich and accelerate their own work. However, t...
