Mapping is one of the most important aspects of software instruments design. We call “mapping” the relation defined between the parameters from hardware interaction devices, and those of the process to be controlled. For software instruments, this relation between the user’s gestures and synthesis engine parameters has a decisive role in resulting ergonomics, playability and expressive possibil...

The management of identities of the citizens, public institutions and other organisation has been the core function of the government for years now. The increase in the number of users accessing online services using communication devices such as computers, mobile phone and cards such credit cards has prompted most governments and business organizations to change the way they do business and ma...

This paper proposes a risk-based process strategy decision-making approach. To improve the flexibility in applying the Value-Based Software Quality Achievement (VBSQA) process framework, we embed the risk-based process strategy decision-making approach into the VBSQA process framework. It facilitates project managers to tailor the VBSQA process framework to different project business cases (sch...

Our main result in this paper concerns the problem of sweeping out general hypersurfaces of degree N ≥ d+ 2 in P : Theorem 1 Fix an integer 1 ≤ r ≤ d. Let γ = r−1 2 , r odd, or γ = r 2 , r even, that is γ is the round-up of r−1 2 . Let Y → S, dimS = C, be a family of r-dimensional smooth projective varieties. Then the general hypersurface of degree N in P is not rationally swept out by varietie...

This paper deals with an experimental investigation on water photosonolysis for hydrogen production. Water splitting is obtained by superposition of photolysis and sonolysis phenomena (photosonolysis) which are induced by the combined action of sunlight and ultrasounds. An experimental device was realized to investigate such phenomena; experimental tests were carried out: hydrogen production in...

Abstract. Let K be a field and S = K[x1, . . . , xn] be a polynomial ring. A single spot ideal I ⊂ S is a graded ideal whose local cohomology H m (S/I), i < dimS/I and m = (x1, . . . , xn), only has non-trivial value N , a finite length module, at i = depthS/I. We consider characterization of single spot ideals in terms of (long) Bourbaki sequences. The codimension 2 case has been fairly well i...

This paper presents the production of digital terrain models (DTMs) and digital image mosaics (DIMs) of the Lunar surface that cover a large portion of the near-side of the Moon at 40 m/px and 10 m/px respectively. These data products, produced under direction of the NASA ESMD Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project (LMMP), are based on 2600 stereo image pairs from the Apollo 15 and 16 missions that...

This paper proposes a generic framework, SC-webCS, for the development of next generation web-centric supply chain management systems. The framework builds on our previously developed Multi-Resolution Collaborative Architecture (MRCA) that supports multiple collaborative interfaces for effective human/system interaction within an underlying open-system framework. Its implementation is supported...

The German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) has developed a digital library for the long-term management of earth observation data products. This Product Library is a central part of DFD’s multi-mission ground segment Data Information and Management System (DIMS) and is successfully in operation since 2000. Its data model is regularly extended to support products of upcoming earth observation m...
