This paper revises notions related to Language Resources and Technologies (LRT), including a brief overview of some resources developed worldwide and with a special focus on Romanian language. It then describes a joined Romanian, Moldavian, English initiative aimed at developing electronically coded resources for Romanian language, tools for their maintenance and usage, as well as for the creat...

Virulence is often equated with pathogen-induced mortality, even though loss of fecundity is also common. But while the former may be understood as a simple consequence of lost host resources for the purposes of pathogen transmission, pathogen-induced sterility is often not associated with changes in host mortality. As a result, a separate literature has emerged to explain fecundity effects of ...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how certain limitations of the current approaches to planning and scheduling of aircraft heavy maintenance can be addressed using a single integrated framework supported by unified data structures. Design/methodology/approach – The “unitary structuring technique”, originally developed within the context of manufacturing planning and control, is ...

Consider a system that performs a sequence of identical missions with breaks between missions. Suppose that maintenance can only be performed during these breaks and that limited time is available for performing maintenance actions. Selective maintenance refers to the process of identifying the subset of maintenance actions to perform from a set of desirable maintenance actions. In this paper, ...

According to the current Airport planning and design practices, for a given demand level there is a corresponding space requirement. While in practice, there are always trade-offs between cost and levels of service, labor and automation, equipment and fixed facilities, and expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new ones. In this research, the airport passenger Terminal Building (P...

Multi-unit parallel production systems (MuPPSs) widely exist in many industry areas. A general requirement for the MuPPS is that each system should continuously run and its downtime be as short feasible. For such systems, optimising preventive maintenance (PM) policy crucial so resources number of spare units repairmen can optimally used. On this basis, paper develops an optimal model jointly P...

Among models of working memory, there is not yet a consensus about how to describe functions specific to storing verbal or visual-spatial memories. We presented aural-verbal and visual-spatial lists simultaneously and sometimes cued one type of information after presentation, comparing accuracy in conditions with and without informative retro-cues. This design isolates interference due specific...
