This article presents the analysis of the effect of two different types of work organization (the traditional and a new mechanized, more segmented one) in the packing sector of a luminary manufacturing company in Curitiba, Brazil. A macroergonomic analysis was conducted to evaluate the workers satisfaction with the job; the possible associated postural risk, the level of body pain/discomfort an...

ion-Based Information Technology: A Framework for Open Mechanized Reasoning.

introduction: hematology section provides valuable information for diagnosis and treatment of patients to improve the health of them. in this regard hematology information system led to deliver produced information accurately and timely. present study aimed to analyze the situation of hematology information systems in hospital laboratories. methods: in this descriptive study, 13 hematology info...

From 1946 to 1953 ten conferences—the first nine held at the Beekman Hotel at 575 Park Avenue in New York, the last at the Nassau Inn in Princeton, New Jersey—brought together at regular intervals some of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. Sponsored by the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, these meetings have since come to be known as the Macy Conferences. The mathematicians, logicians, en...

In my view, the “verification problem” is the theorem proving problem, restricted to a computational logic. My approach is: adopt a functional programming language, build a general purpose formal reasoning engine around it, integrate it into a program and proof development environment, and apply it to model and verify a wide variety of computing artifacts, usually modeled operationally within t...

A GOOD translation of a novel requires many qualities from the translator. He must be a native speaker or have at least native-like command of the language into which he translates, the target language; he must have a good knowledge of the language from which he translates, the source language, and preferably have lived among the people who habitually speak the source language; he must have som...

We consider software verification of imperative programs by theorem proving in higher-order separation logic. Of particular interest are the difficulties of encoding and reasoning about sharing and aliasing in pointer-based data structures. Both of these are difficulties for reasoning in separation logic because they rely, fundamentally, on non-separate heaps. We show how sharing can be achieve...

abstract quantitative analysis of production through evaluating the level of factor usage is a major part in agricultural management, which aims at increasing production by optimum usage of resources. this study has estimated and analyzed stochastic frontier production function and calculated technical efficiency of semi-mechanized broiler farms located in gorgan district. the survey data were ...

Formal methods are usually conceived as a way to obtain veri ably correct soft ware so many researchers have focused on applications requiring error free code such as safety critical subsystems There may be other paths to the ultimate success of formal methods We argue that mechanized synthesis tools can have an impact in the production of high performance algorithms This thesis is sup ported b...

There is a growing interest in the integration of mechanized reasoning systems such as automated theorem provers, computer algebra systems, and model checkers. State-of-the-art reasoning systems are the result of many man-years of careful development and engineering, and usually they provide a high degree of sophistication in their respective domain. Yet they often perform poorly when applied o...
