The Market-Driven Management requires that the continuous attention to customers is combined to constant and direct competition in all reference markets. The Market-Driven Management, in the specific context of companies competing in the fashion and luxury industries can be traced back to three main factors: a growing attention to brand equity; the reinforcement of the direct relationships with...

In this work we leverage crowdsourcing in connection with machine learning techniques to validate candidate ICD10 Code to UMLS concept relationships that we generate. Our immediate use is in natural language understanding and machine learning approaches to automatically code electronic health record documents with ICD codes. Beyond auto-coding, the relationships will aid a wide variety of futur...

Background: Not much is known about correlates of HIV-related self-stigma among female sex workers. Using the theory of planned behavior in the Malaysian context, this study investigated the relationships of HIV knowledge, attitudes towards HIV, attitudes towards people living with HIV, perceived social support, self-esteem, and age with HIV-related self-stigma, also how much of the variance in...

Queries on software artifacts play an important role in novel software development approaches, such as Aspect-Oriented Software Development and OMG's Model Driven Architecture. Keeping them separate from the modifications operating on them has proven to be beneficial with respect to their comprehensibility and their reusability. In this paper we describe what relationships can exist between suc...

Appears in Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL-99), pages 43-52. A workshop at the 9th Conf. of the European Chapter of the Assoc. for Computational Linguistics (EACL-99). Bergen, Norway, June, 1999. cs.CL/9906015 Grammatical relationships are an important level of natural language processing. We present a trainable approach to find these relationships through transformation sequence...

in this paper, according to high load capacity and rather large workspace characteristics of cable driven robots (cdrs), maximum dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) between two given end points in the workspace along with optimal trajectory is obtained. in order to find dlcc of cdrs, joint actuator torque and workspace of the robot constraints concerning to non-negative tension in cables are ...

in the present research mixed convection flow through a copper-water nanofluid in a driven cavity in the presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically. the cavity is heated from top and cooled from bottom while its two vertical walls are insulated. the governing equations including continuity, n-s and energy equations are solved over a staggered grid system. the study is conducted for ...

l present a cognitive model of the human ability to acquire causal relationships. I report on experimental evidence demonstrating that human learners acquire accurate causal relationships more rapidly when training examples ore consistent with a general theory of causality. This article describes o learning process thot uses a general theory of causality as background knowledge. The learning pr...

Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. ‎However, ‎the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

• Compose personalized documents for the reader. For example, once could have a text base on statistical methods, where each topic is treated at several levels (such as for readers who know calculus and those who do not) and where each method has examples from several domains. Given a reader’s background, subject domain, and learning goal, the system would then sequence of topics that build on ...
