Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is a knowledge representation formalism that combines results from Logic Programming and Defeasible Argumentation to provide reasoning based on contradictory and potentially incomplete information. DeLP allows information representation by using weak rules and provides an argumentation…

Photopolymers are studied as holographic recording materials for recording computer-generated phase holograms. The recording was performed using a holographic copying process, in which the master is produced by means of a high resolution graphic device. To our knowledge it is…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

It has been suggested there is a knowledge base that surrounds the use of 3D modeling within the engineering design process and correspondingly within engineering design graphics education. While solid modeling receives a great deal of attention and discussion relative…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use ot…

Recently, many individuals have been faced with a transfer of learning issue, surrounding the move from one 3-D CAD system to another.  The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that, with minimal instruction, users can transfer their…

Nowadays universities are required not only to impart
knowledge of specific disciplines but also generic graduate
attributes such as communication, problem-solving,
teamwork, creative thinking, research and inquiry skills. For
students to attain these generic skills, educators are
encouraged to use…

The aim of this paper is to offer a functionally-motivated text typology framework which can serve as a basis for the description, comparison and classification of a wide variety of texts for generation purposes. For this task, we have adopted…

Engineering and technical graphics professionals have seen major changes in the content and the way we teach our students (Clark & Scales, 2000).  Today, professionals going into fields related to engineering/technical graphics require a broader knowledge of differing forms of…

With the advancement of technology, we are able to collect, store, and transmit an ever-increasing volume of data. However, our ability to extract useful patterns from this massive amount of data is still lagging behind. Machine learning and signal processing…
