In processes of the production chain of carbide inserts, such as unloading or packaging, the conformity test of the insert type is performed manually, which causes a statistic increase of errors due to monotony and fatigue of workers as well as the wide variety of insert types. A measuring method is introduced that automatically inspects the chipformer geometry, the most significant quality fea...

The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges faced by learner and activities they undertake concerning informal digital learning English (IDLE) implementation in as foreign language (EFL) context. impact COVID-19 on education sector feels very challenging. Especially EFL at high/secondary school level, it crucial since skills are needed support such level students' more complex nee...

Various activities that intend to enhance performance, reliability, and availability of systems are scheduled with low priority and served during system idle times. Under such conditions, idleness becomes a valuable “resource” that needs to be efficiently managed. A common approach in system design is to be non-work-conserving by “idle waiting”, i.e., delay scheduling of background jobs to avoi...

Following the identification of an emergency situation, a downtime allowance was introduced in Republic Latvia to compensate for restrictions imposed on employers and self-employed. Payment is intended only those employees self-employed persons who have paid social insurance contributions previous periods, thus small producers, craftsmen, farms were left without support, although their activiti...

although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. but, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. this paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. a mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...

Processing and transmission of idle-time network traffic ideally only occurs when resources would have been idle in its absence. Proposed extensions to the Internet service model are similar to idle-time networking, but focus on network support. This paper investigates end-system extensions needed under such a service model. It introduces a simple model with two preempting prioritized traffic c...

In service-oriented computing, a recommender system can be wrapped as a web service with machine-readable interface. However, owing to the cross-organizational privacy issue, the internal dataset of an organization is seldom exposed to external services. In this paper, we propose a higher level recommender strategy INSERT that guides the underlying external universal recommender to suggest a se...

During an off-peak hour of a day, a Mobile Terminal (MT) can stay in idle mode for long time as there is no incoming or outgoing packet. An idle MT can move from one location to another and the wireless access network keeps tracking the idle MT. Idle MTs need to assist the wireless access network for location update; so that, on call arrival the network can route the call successfully. Mean whi...
