We present a spatially resolved spectroscopic study of the thermal composite supernova remnant Kes 27 with Chandra. The X-ray spectrum of Kes 27 is characterized by K lines from Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Ca. The X-ray–emitting gas is found to be enriched in sulfur and calcium. The broadband and tricolor images show two incomplete shell-like features in the northeastern half and brightness fading with ...

Enabling Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to formulate knowledge without the intervention of Knowledge Engineers (KEs) requires providing SMEs with methods and tools that abstract the underlying knowledge representation, allowing SMEs to focus on the modeling activities. However, automatically bridging the gap between SME-authored models and their internal representation is not an easy task, espec...

Effective performance measurement is an important task in the discipline of engineering management. With the support of City University of Hong Kong, a research project was initiated to develop a knowledge-based expert self-assessment (KES) training toolkit on measuring and assessing organisational performance based on the evaluation criteria of a renowned Business Excellence Model—the Malcolm ...

The overarching goal of this article is to account for why the Internally-Headed Relative Clause, the direct perception, and the factive constructions in Korean have an identical form involving the pronominal kes and the relativizer -un, despite the fact that one construction instantiates relativization and the other two instantiate complementation. I solve this puzzle by recasting Kim’s (2007)...

Organization of existing and emerging toxicological knowledge into adverse outcome pathway (AOP) descriptions can facilitate greater application of mechanistic data, including those derived through high-throughput in vitro, high content omics and imaging, and biomarker approaches, in risk-based decision making. The previously ad hoc process of AOP development is being formalized through develop...

A new two-equation Kinetic-Eddy Simulation (KES) model is developed for large-eddy simulation (LES) of wall-bounded high Reynolds number flows. This model solves for the local unresolved kinetic energy and the local length scale. The dissipation of the kinetic energy depends on the length scale, as well as, on the length scale gradient. New terms of subgrid viscous work, subgrid pressure diffus...

This paper proposes a method to improve genetic programming with multiple trees (GPCN). An individual in GPCN comprises multiple trees, and each tree has a number P that indicates the number of repetitive actions based on the tree. In previous work, a method for updating the number P has been proposed to obtain P suitable to the tree in evolution. However, in the method efficiency becomes worse...

Satu kes feline panleukopenia dalam seekor kucing rumah berumur 18 bulan adalah dilaporkan. Tanda-tanda klinik utama ialah tidak berselera makan, kemasyghulan, ceret dan kekeringan badan. Perubahan-perubahan patologi yang biasa seperti atrofi vilus dan erosi pada epithelia usus kecil telah ditemui. Pemeriksaan najis menggunakan mikroskop lektron telah menunjukkan benda-benda yang menyerupai par...

This paper describes the method for classification of brain state by the measured electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency in directions (up, down, left, and right) imagination. Recently, Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) has been studied in a variety of ways due to the development of brain measurement technology. Therefore, we have used the BMI to identify the human selection of directions. Our method...
