The implementation of the TQM philosophy in Poland
2005
PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to present an overview of various total quality management (TQM) issues in Poland's business organizations and the public sector.Design/methodology/approachDescribes the role of the Polish Quality Award Committee in promoting the idea of TQM. Presents the results of survey research on the implementation of TQM in Polish companies. Presents a critical analysis of the results and formulates conclusions based on the author' experience gained while working in the Polish Quality Award Committee at the National Chamber of Economy.FindingsThe analysis of the literature on the subject and the results of empirical research allow the formulation of conclusions. It t…
Indexing Method for Transitive Relationships of Product Information
2008
To successfully use a relational database management system (RDBMS) as a repository for product information, the RDBMS must efficiently process and properly answer ontological queries. The key to processing the ontological queries is whether the various semantic relationships among the concepts of the product ontology are likewise well-processed. In particular, the transitive relationships (e.g., is-a, component-of relationships) such as ancestors-descendents, parents-children, and taxonomy of products must be processed successfully. We propose an efficient index using a numbering scheme (labeling scheme) to process queries over transitive relationships. (This paper is an extended version o…
Active-passive control strategy for adjacent buildings
2011
Author's version of a chapter in the book: 2011 Proceedings of the American Control Conference. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=05991059 In this paper, a control strategy to mitigate the vibrational response of adjacent buildings under seismic excitation is presented. The proposed strategy combines inter-building passive actuators with active actuators placed in the building stories. The main ideas are presented by means of a simplified two-building model; however, a semi-decentralized overlapping approach via the inclusion principle has been used to impose a proper information exchange structure suitable for wireless control of larg…

Tehnoloģiju lietojums angļu valodas līdzskaņu aspirācijas mācīšanā
2016
Aspirācijas parādība ir cieši saistīta ar angļu valodas izrunu, tādēļ izpētei kā mācīt aspirāciju ar datora palīdzību ir liela nozīme. Pētījuma mērķis bija izstrādāt uz tehnoloģijām balstītus vingrinājumus, kas varētu palīdzēt mācīt studentiem angļu valodas līdzskaņu aspirācijas aspektus. Teorija par līdzskaņu aspirāciju un valodas apguvi/pasniegšanu ar datoru palīdzību tika izpētīta, kā arī darba gaidā aspirācijas tēma tika pasniegta studentiem izmantojot Audacity programmu. Pētījumā tika izmantota gadījuma metode. Pētījuma rezultāti atklāja, ka studenti izrunāja /p, t, k / fonēmas aspirēti pēc Audacity programmatūras izmantošanas viņu apmācībā. Darba gaitā tika secināts, ka datortehnoloģi…
Genetic polymorphism at the CSN1S1 gene in Girgentana dairy goat breed
2013
The aim of this work was to evaluate the variability of the αs1-casein locus in the endangered Girgentana dairy goat breed in order to define genetic improvement and a conservation program for this breed. The study was performed on 200 dairy goats by means of different PCR protocols. The most frequent alleles were A (0.590) and F (0.290) followed by B (0.065) and N (0.047). CSN1S1 E allele was identified with a very low frequency (0.008). The most common genotype was AF (0.365) followed by AA (0.340). The high frequency of the strong genotypes is associated with the production of milk with high fat and protein content and with optimal technological properties. In Girgentana goat breed, the …
Tailorable Representation of Security Control Catalog on Semantic Wiki
2018
Selection of security controls to be implemented is an essential part of the information security management process in an organization. There exist a number of readily available information security management system standards, including control catalogs, that could be tailored by the organizations to meet their security objectives. Still, it has been noted that many organizations tend to lack even the implementation of the fundamental security controls. At the same time, semantic wikis have become popular collaboration and information sharing platforms that have proven their strength as an effective way to distribute domain-specific information within an organization. This paper evaluates…
Experimental BIM applications in Archaeology: a work-flow
2014
In the last few decades various conceptual models, methods and techniques have been studied to allow 3D digital access to Cultural Heritage (CH). Among these is BIM (Building Information Modeling): originally built up for construction projects, it has been already experimented in the CH domain, but not enough in the archaeological field. This paper illustrates a framework to create 3D archaeological models integrated with databases using BIM. The models implemented are queryable by the connection with a Relational Database Management System and sharable on the web. Parametric solid and semantic models are integrated with 3D standardized database models that are finally manageable in the pub…
Exploiting 3D Modelling and Life Cycle Assessment to Improve the Sustainability of Pavement Management
2020
Today road agencies worldwide face difficult decisions for construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of their road infrastructure as they try to balance limited budgets. This is further complicated rising environmental concerns over equipment and techniques used for these practices. This has led agencies to consider alternative approaches for smarter and sustainable pavement asset management systems. This paper considers the use of a low-cost 3D image modelling distress identification and classification proposal for data acquisition and analysis. To establish its environmental friendliness, a case study in Palermo, Italy, is considered wherein a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) exercise is do…
