This paper describes a web-based process/material advisory system that can be used during conceptual design. Given a set of design requirements for a part during conceptual design stage, our system produces process sequences that can meet the design requirements. Quite often during conceptual design stage, design requirements are not precisely defined. Therefore, we allow users to describe desi...

material is to avoid a second operation to remove the plates and screws. Additional surgery has inherent risks and further social, health political and economic burden can be avoided . There have been frequent discussions about leaving metallic osteosynthesis material in situ and this option is seen in the various regional and national differences. Despite the body’s tolerance of titanium, remo...

E-learning environments are mainly based on a range of delivery and interactive services. Web-based personalized learning recommender systems can, as a kind of services in e-learning environment, provide learning recommendations to students. This research proposes a framework of a personalized learning recommender system, which aims to help students find learning materials they would need to re...

The basic concern of the present work is the exploitation of the notion of material forces in the theoretical and computational analysis of open systems with particular application to biomechanical problems. Based on a completely dual framework for the spatial and the material motion problem, we introduce the balance equations for open system thermodynamics. In combination with the appropriate ...

For many years, new techniques have been developed to overcome the problems involved with the generation and detection of ultrasound in materials at high temperature [1,2]. A non-contacting technique is described using lasers to generate and detect ultrasound and which can be used to study the variation in acoustic velocity as a function of temperature. Results are presented for the change in l...

We study a system of two integrodifferential equations which models the evolution of a biotic species feeding on an abiotic resource. We also consider nutrient recycling with time delay. By H o p f bifurcation theory we prove the existence of stable oscillations for a range of values of the input of nutrients.

In the existing KBS-MEDIA (knowledgebased systems media) environment demonstration systems (demonstrators) are built to support different phases in the building process City Advisor, Material and Vendor Information, Building Maintenance etc. In this environment new concepts and tools are defined and tried out in connection with using, building and maintaining the systems formed by advanced soft...
