The paper is based on the concept of intra-product specialization and intra-product trade to discuss the competitiveness of industries in Shenzhen. With the measurement VS and VSS initiated by Hummels (2001), we analyzed the degree of international intra-product trade Shenzhen participated in according to the customs data from Chinese Customs Database and Shenzhen Customs Database. The paper also...
Fracturing sand control is a complex sand prevention method. There are so many influence factors which can not be modeled by the structuring models in both the decision and the operation process. Expert system for the optimization design of the fracturing sand control can simulate the thinking patterns of those experts, collect the computer knowledge and models in the field, apply the fuzzy mathematics...
Information technology (IT) is seen as a key source of productivity improvement in mines. Integrated data can create additional value from independent data source and produce previously unavailable insight or new knowledge. This paper briefly introduces the skill set needed for data integrated from multiple source systems throughout the mining value chain. The discussion begins by introducing a mining...
Tool development to support service management is a problem in optimizing service quality and reducing redundant work subject to competing constraints, both technical requirements and political realities. However, many of the constraints only become clear over time, and often only after a series of iterations as tooling exposes new or previously discounted constraints. We present a case study: the...
The intelligent CIMS system is a new integrated system model of intelligence production. It organically coordinates intelligent activities and intelligent equipments throughout the design, development and implementation of the whole CIMS project, and thus integrates in a flexible way the entire enterprise manufacturing processes from raw material acquisition, ordering, product quality assurance, and...
In this paper, We adopt VAR model to estimate the technology sourcing effects of China's ODI on its domestic productivity growth and the contribution of two sources of productivity growth - technological progress and efficiency change, respectively. We examine these with data from China's direct investment in 8 developed countries during 1991 and 2007. We find the ODI to be strongly beneficial to...
This study attempts to explore the collaborations in solar cell science from the perspectives of science and technology, focusing on the productivity and citations of papers and patents. The study tries to find out: Is the trend of collaborations in papers increasing? Does the trend of collaborations work for patents? After thorough research, this study finds that although most papers and patents...
The goal of this paper is to offer a detailed analyze for human resource quality indicators, based on a human resource model - as a process. We present several minimum abilities and transferable abilities in recruitment, management and promoting process. We establish a balance of human action quantitative analysis based on Barseghyan assumption. Our case study was focused on services companies.
Several real applications need to manage fuzzy information. Among the languages proposed for this type of data, the Fuzzy SQL (FSQL) language had a great success, seen its great power of modeling and it's an extension of the well-known SQL language. In this paper, we propose an alternative for FCM algorithm For Fuzzy Database describe with FSQL. The conventional fuzzy clustering algorithms form fuzzy...
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) methodology is considered as the next generation development methodology and approach though it is not applied widely in software enterprise yet. In order to testify the efficiency of MDA methodology in the real software project environment, we conducted a comparison experiment in developing a prototype for a community support system between the approach of MDA and...
As the improvement of computing power, texting mining becomes more focused than before. In order to realize the literature productivity of such territory, we analyze the literatures on SSCI database with subjects as “Text Mining”. Applied the methodology of bibliometrics, we found several outcomes in this research. First, the distribution of frequency indexes of author's productivity fulfills Lotka's...
To enhance the productivity, effectiveness and consistency of process plans in small and medium enterprise, the classification of process planning knowledge is studied and a product-based method of process planning knowledge management is proposed. Process planning knowledge can be viewed through three perspectives: hierarchical view of information vs. knowledge, tacit vs. explicit, and individual...
Recent trends show that Colombian S&T performance is improving rapidly. This paper examines the ways in which International Scientific Collaboration, as observed by the co-authorship of journal articles written by local scientists and partners located overseas, affects the ability of research teams to produce bibliographic outputs and to contribute to local knowledge. A sample of 672 teams was...
Tracking sample vials in a research environment is a critical task and doing so efficiently can have a large impact on productivity, especially in high volume laboratories. There are several challenges to automating the capture process, including the variety of containers used to store samples. We developed a fast and robust system to capture the location of sample vials being placed in storage that...
An effective information system needs to support a set of activities, which enable human beings to achieve effectively the objectives of the organization, supported by computer-based information technology (Gasson, 1994). Traditional styles of attendance management include hand-written signatures, card bell, magnetic card, IC card and RF card attendance machines. These styles cannot avoid checking...
With the advent of Web 2.0 digital data gathering and information structuring is taking more and more of knowledge workers time. Various types of knowledge workers including scientists, engineers, analysts, and academicians use information to create knowledge. Their labor aims at problem solving based on gathered data and information structuring. It is generally believed that knowledge workers rely...
Intelligent buildings can bring a great deal of benefits to the commercial sector as well as the occupants living in the building. It has been identified in the prior research that energy efficiency is pivotal to energy saving while occupant's well-being is a major contributor to overall work productivity. Among the various technologies and methods for addressing these two issues, agent technology...
As an important international competitiveness indicator, real effective exchange rates based on unit labor costs can provide a reliable gauge of price competitiveness about the relative profitability of traded goods in manufacturing. This paper uses reliable data of trade and output data in manufacturing of 21 countries from 1989 to 2003, and adopts time-varying weights, which can reflect the rapidly...
Service industry is facing increasingly more pressure with the rise of status of service in social economy. In order to make service industry unlike manufacturing industry, which is vulnerable in face of foreign competition, service industry has to rely on information technology innovations and high-tech management to continuously improve the quality of service products and productivity. Starting...
In this paper, we propose a new SystemC-based fault injection technique that has improved fault representation in visible and on-the-fly data and signal registers. The technique is minimum intrusive since it only requires replacing the original data or signal types to fault injection enabler types. We compare the proposed simulation technique with recently reported SystemC-based techniques and show...
