Cotextual cues for the annotation of perspective in Livy’s "Ab urbe condita"

April 2018

Conference: OIKOS ReMA/PhD presentation day

Authors:

Ghent University

In this presentation for an audience of scholars working in a variety of disciplines within classics, I presented a short introduction on my PhD project, followed by a case study I conducted which statistically investigates the association between a number of cotextual cues and the annotation of verb tense (perfect - imperfect - historic present) and perspective (external - internal - intermediate).

Acceptable probability of excessive deformation for deep urban excavations

October 2017

Deformations more than acceptable values are usually defined as excessive deformations. In this paper, a review was conducted on the proposed criteria for the acceptable excavation-induced ground deformations. A number of deep urban excavation projects were also studied. For each case study, the reported probability of excessive deformation (PED), determined with the aid of random set-finite ... [Show full abstract] element method (RS-FEM), is compared with an acceptable probability of excessive deformation (APED) of 10-1 which is suggested in this paper. Based on the real situation of the excavation projects, findings indicate that the suggested value of APED is a reasonable value and the RS-FEM is a feasible tool in estimating the PEDs of deep excavations.

Study on interval-based economic evaluation methods for power construction projects

January 2008

This paper introduces an interval-based approach in economic evaluation on power construction projects. Firstly, interval models are set up to extend classic methods, including Interval net present value method, Interval payback period method, interval internal rate of return method. Additionally, a method to measure risk is also proposed. Then, cases are given to test and compare these interval ... [Show full abstract] methods under both certain and uncertain life period conditions. Case study suggests that the interval-based methods are efficient and flexible to deal with evaluation problems on power construction projects, which can effectively judge the feasibility of a project, as well as estimate the risk likely to be undertaken. Finally, these three typical methods are comprehensively compared in order to give instruction of practical application.

May 2014

This presentation focuses on the reasons why the University of Pretoria( UP) chose InCites as a measurement tool. The changes that took place at UP since InCites' introduction is shown. The new role profiles that emerged, are pointed out. Examples of InCites reports as they are being used by UP, is shown and discussed. In conclusion the 'insights' from InCites are discussed.

Electronic Meeting Support for Councils

March 2000 · AI & SOCIETY

City councils hold meetings several times a week. There is a need for computer support at certain meetings. This paper examines the potential for group support systems for use in city council meetings and shows in what ways they can be helpful in pre-meeting and post-meeting activities. The study is based on 17 computer-supported city council meetings, carried out in Stuttgart, Kornwestheim and ... [Show full abstract] other cities as part of the Cuparla Project between 1996 and 1998. Three of these meetings are described in the paper as brief case studies. Following this, all 17 meeting sequences are evaluated and analysed. Guidelines have been developed from the results of the study for the introduction of group support systems in city council meetings.

This descriptive case study deals with an issue of the European Parliament electoral system in a historical perspective. It describes its genesis and reforms over time. The study therefore presents the evolution of apportionment procedures in the European Parliament from the principle of delegation in the 1950s to the late 1970s through the 1979 introduction of direct elections for Members of the ...

Barriers to Development of High-Technology Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

January 2008

Marek Matejun

The question of development and growth of SMEs, particularly high-technology SMEs, is an essential area of interest in companies belonging to the SME sector. Development barriers and inhibitors of various types, which hinder or make introduction of positive changes impossible, are a significant part of this development processes. They evoke certain effects for the functioning of enterprises, ... [Show full abstract] influencing development gap increase and impeding development processes. Taking into account the above considerations, multidimensional analysis of barriers to development of high-technology SMEs, assessment of their influence on development processes of these entities and suggestions of actions limiting barriers to development of high-technology SMEs, have been set as the aim of this work. Empirical research conducted in the form of case study method in two high-technology SMEs was devoted to realization of the aim of this work.

New Approaches for Reliability Assessment of Mechanical Systems and Parts (Part 2- Case Study),

September 2016

The application of classical reliability methods to mechanical systems and parts is challenging, as testing in large numbers and for all possible operating conditions is economically prohibitive. For this reason, ESA initiated a project aiming at the definition of suitable methods to analyse and assess the reliability of mechanical systems and parts. The results of this project are presented in ... [Show full abstract] two papers. The Part 1 paper reviewed possible alternative methodologies for both part and system level reliability assessment and presented new methodological developments. The application of the methods is illustrated with the aid of a textbook-style example. This paper (Part 2) presents a more extensive case study, showing the applicability of the developed methods to a real system.

A Study on Strategic Points for Decision Making Under Time Constraint

December 2010

Hideyasu Sasaki

In this study, we discuss a theory on process for decision making under time constraint which is uncommon or asynchronous among two or bilateral decision makers. The problem on time constraint is to evaluate cost of time or value of the entire duration of a certain process for decision making. We propose a formula to compute cost of time by introduction of opportunity cost to its evaluation. We ... [Show full abstract] also propose a set of strategic points under asynchronous time constraint among bilateral decision makers. We have conducted a feasibility check on our proposed formulas on cost of time and the strategic points in their applications to a case study.

Subgroups in Agile and Traditional IT Project Teams

January 2018

This paper analyzes the formation of subgroups within project teams that apply agile methods and teams that apply traditional methods. Subgroups form based on faultlines, which are dividing lines regarding attributes of diversity of the team members. We conduct case studies of two agile projects and two projects with a traditional approach. We find that the formation of subgroups differs between ... [Show full abstract] the two methods. Task assignment is the dominant factor that leads to the formation of subgroups in traditional methods, whereas previous ties between team members is the dominant factor in agile projects. In addition, location and language lead to the formation of subgroups in both methods. Our analysis is exploratory and our data is limited to four teams. We contribute to the literature on team formation and groups in IT project teams and show that research should consider subgroups and potential consequences when examining agile and traditional software development methods.

Model-Based Testing

January 1970

Stuart Reid

This paper provides an introduction to the topic of model-based testing. The model-base testing process is described, and the choices available at each stage considered. The different types of tool necessary to support the process are explained and example tools listed along with the notations they support. The place for standards in model-based testing is examined, and the new skills needed by ... [Show full abstract] testers discussed. Finally, means of determining the suitability of projects for model-based testing are considered before a number of case studies (by both tool developers and users) are described.
