Context. Software development pipelines are used for automating essential parts of software engineering processes, such as build automation and continuous integration testing. In particular, interactive pipelines, which process events in a live environment such as an IDE, require timely results for low-latency feedback, and persistence to retain low-latency feedback between restarts. Inquiry. D...

We present an interactive tool for visualization of medical imaging pipelines that are built with Nipype, a freely available tool for building pipelines programatically. Our tool enables researchers to interact with their pipelines, visualize the pipeline structure, and view their intermediate and final results. We also provide a video and live demonstration of our tool for a simple brain image...

Although many image processing pipelines were proposed to integrate colour image processing for the digital camera. Many of them reduces the sharpness of image while filtering that result into the blurred image therefore it is necessary to take some action that will not allows noise-level as a by product. In this paper we are reviewing colour edge detection, bilateral noise filter edge and colo...

We discuss the design of energy-efficient pipelines for asynchronous VLSI architectures. To maximize throughput in asyn-chronous pipelines it is often necessary to insert buffer stages, increasing the energy overhead. Instead of optimizing pipelines for minimum energy or maximum throughput, we consider a joint energy-time metric of the form ¼ is the energy per operation and ½ is the time per op...

Pipelines transporting solid-liquid mixtures are of practical interest to the oil and pipe industry throughout the world. Such pipelines are known as slurry pipelines where the solid medium of the flow is commonly known as slurry. The optimal designing of such pipelines is of commercial interests for their widespread acceptance. A methodology has been evolved for the optimal sizing of a pipelin...

Science projects are increasingly investing in computational reproducibility. Constructing software pipelines to demonstrate reproducibility is also becoming increasingly common. To aid the process of constructing pipelines, science project members often adopt reproducible methods and tools. CDE is a software packaging tool for reproducible research that encapsulates source code, datasets and e...

Profile analysis of urban underground pipelines solely from 2D GIS data is very difficult because the two-dimensional geographic information system technologies do not quite meet all the utility's needs. The present study aims at developing a quick and practical method to automatically produce the utility’s profile using 3D GIS techniques. A 3D Urban Pipe Network Model (3DUPNM) about undergroun...

Mechanical pressure clamps are examples of innovative tools commonly used in the oil and gas industry for arresting leaks from damaged oil and gas pipelines. However, if leaks result from pipeline rupture, clamps are not usually recommended. It is therefore obvious that inspection of the leaking pipeline is very crucial in deciding the strategy for repair. For subsea pipelines where underwater ...

A subsea pipeline (also known as an offshore or submarine pipeline) is a that laid on the seabed inside specially constructed trench [...]

Technology-grafting acquisitions are the acquisitions of technology-based entrepreneurial firms by established firms. They are often motivated by the need to bring products speedily to market, as well as develop future product pipelines. We argue that these are conflicting objectives; a trade-off between short and long-term performance arises because acquisition integration has opposite effects...
