Interactively using Semantic Web knowledge: Creating scalable abstractions with FacetOntology
No full textThe amount of knowledge accessible on the Semantic Web is growing, and there is a need for a scalable solution to facilitate exploring that data. Currently approaches to exploring Semantic Web data either focus on exploring resources individually, following links during exploration, and making little use of collated data, or take the approach of collating and aligning multiple sources into one store for one purpose, and hand-crafting a specific browsing interface onto it. We present an approach that provides a scalable browsing interface, which can browse knowledge from the Semantic Web at will. Our approach creates abstractions of knowledge, collated into facets, which are described using FacetOntology. FacetOntology facilitates describing facets from RDF data, suitable for use in creating datasets for faceted browsing
Growth Morphologies and Mechanisms of Non-Equilibrium Solidified MC Carbide
No full textGrowth morphologies and mechanisms of the carbide of group IVB and VB elements (MC carbide), a typical faceted crystal, were studied with an estimated cooling rate from 102 to 105 K/s. Results showed that although the growth morphologies of the MC carbide vary remarkably with solidification cooling rate, the solid/liquid interface is always atomically smooth, and the growth mechanisms are always lateral growth. The growth mechanism transition from lateral to continuous growth mode, which was predicted by the classic crystal growth theory, was not observed for the TiC type MC carbide within the estimated cooling rate range of 102?105 K/s
Ruth Klüger: la creatività per non “smarrirsi strada facendo”
No full textR. Klüger, a jewish viennese, a US citizen and a germanist, is the Author of two autobiographies “weiter leben”and “unterwegs versore”. Written in a style which alternates between essay and poetry, account and recollection, they are the occasion for the Author to establish a dialogue with the women having as a focus the exchange of experiences and reflections over the status of the feminine emancipation
Eutectic MC Carbide Growth Morphologies of a Laser Clad TiC/FeAl Composite Coating
No full textIn this paper, eutectic MC carbide growth morphology and its evolution with laser scanning speed were studied comprehensively of a laser clad MC carbide reinforced FeAl intermetallic matrix composite coating. As the laser scanning speed increased, the growth morphology of eutectic MC carbide was found to be needle-aligned annulation, butterfly-like and well-developed dendrite
Performance analysis of the MC-CDMA system in frequency selective slow Rayleigh fading channels, DS-CDMA or MC-CDMA?
No full textThis report describes the Bit Error Probability (BEP) performance of Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system using the RAKE-receiver in frequency selective slow Rayleigh fading channels. The analysis has been carried out by a theoretical approach using the characteristic function method for quadratic form of Gaussian random variables and by computer simulation. The BEP performance of Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) system under the same conditions is analysed and compared with the BEP performance of the MC-CDMA system.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceTelecommunicatie- en Verkeersbegeleidingssysteme
The role and influence of human resource management in the capital markets and investment banking sector
No full textThis thesis presents research on the role and influence of human resource management in the capital markets and investment banking sector. The initial research targeted 22 leading banks in the capital markets and investment banking sector covering the period 2001 to 2003 and further, exploratory, research undertaken between March and May 2007 focused on 14 of these banks.
The findings of this thesis indicate: that CEOs have greater influence over the human resource environment than human resource professionals and that where they are competent in human resource management then they can positively impact the human resource environment and following this, firm competitive advantage; that senior business line mangers must clearly understand and embrace their human resource management responsibilities for an integrated approach to human resource management to be successful; and, that the degree of human resource business partner influence is contingent on the degree of human resource business partner credibility. It is argued by this thesis that if human resource professionals have no credibility CEOs and senior business line managers are unlikely to include them in significant decision making. It is also argued that credibility can be both individual and institutional.
The implications of these thesis findings include: a strategic approach to management of the talent portfolio, led by the CEO. This involves an understanding of the fundamental links between leadership and management competency as it relates to the human resource environment; talent portfolio management; and, better firm performance; an integrated and strategic working relationship between the human resource function and business managers; stronger numerical, analytical and commercial skills in the human resource function; greater measurement around talent, building up to sophisticated human capital metrics; and, the identification and active management of people related risk
