Using and Extending the SPEM Specifications to Represent Agent Oriented Methodologies
2009
Situational Method Engineering used for constructing ad-hoc agent oriented design processes is grounded on a well defined set of phases that are principally based on reuse of components coming from existing agent design processes; these components have to be stored in a repository. The identification and extraction of these components could take large advantages from the existence of a standardized representation of the design processes they come from. In this paper we illustrate our solution based on SPEM 2.0 specifications for modelling agent design processes and extending them when necessary to meet the specific needs we faced in our experiments.
Peripheral Centralities: An Integrated Approach
2017
Un profondo cambiamento caratterizza a livello globale gli insediamenti urbani: ciò può essere osservato attraverso le relazioni tra centro e periferie. Le aree periferiche sono il banco dove il futuro delle città può essere opportunamente messo alla prova, in cui è possibile prefigurare la futura qualità della vita di individui e comunità. Sicurezza, sostenibilità, benessere che potranno essere raggiunti nelle aree periferiche saranno più rilevanti in termini quantitativi; invece il senso di identificazione e appartenenza, più forte nelle aree centrali, è debole o assente nelle periferie. Occorre puntare quindi a una sorta di centralità diffusa, applicando un approccio integrato, che si ad…
Design of complex sheet metal forming processes: a new computer aided progressive approach
2010
The growing interest in sheet metal stamping processes, particularly in automotive industry, led to three main issues in this field: request of very complex shapes; growing interest in springback control; solution of multi-objective problems. This makes the design of the sheet metal stamping processes very difficult, since the number of both design variables and design objectives are progressively increased; therefore, proper design methodologies to reduce times and costs are highly required. In this paper, an innovative design approach able to manage and optimize complex stamping operations is proposed. In particular, a progressive design approach based on the integration between numerical…
The experimental research strategy of the endmilled aluminum alloys
2017
In this paper, the most important aspects of the research methodology of the resulted surface quality by aluminum alloys endmilling, are presented. The first part of the paper includes a short presentation of the cutting processes aluminum alloys evolution. In the second part, the research problem was defined by setting a fundamental objective and identifying the specific objectives which contribute to achieve the fundamental objective. In this context an experimental study, was performed, starting with the organization and conducting the endmilling process, in which the cutting regime were established, then the characteristic measured parameters were determined, so that the research factor…
MODERN DIDACTIC TERMS IN THE CONTENT OF LATVIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE STUDIES
2015
The article is devoted to a pending matter in the Latvian linguistics and methodology of language and literature – the formation of the system of terminology. The 90-ies of the 20th century when Latvia gained its national independence brought changes not only in the political and economic life but also in the terminology because new realities, which appeared in life, needed new names. Essential transformation in education brought along changes in the nomination system of the specific realities in the sphere. By establishing broader contacts with the pedagogical information field of the Western countries, translating scientific articles one comes in touch with specific concepts of the sphere…
Optimizing the Methodology of Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in EU under a Circular Economy Perspective
2017
Abstract The methodology for the characterization of residual municipal solid waste (RMSW) is available since decades. Some modifications have been introduced in order to modernize it. Now, in order to take into account the targets of the circular economy, an additional effort must be made to be sure of generating the right information suitable for the optimization of municipal solid waste in that frame. In that perspective, the Authors present a few proposals in order to avoid mistakes and to deepen the reliability of the data generated during the analysis performed to classify the residual municipal solid waste in fractions. A new model of characterization is thus proposed, suitable for p…
Características del Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos de Educación Física y Lengua Extranjera
2016
El aprendizaje de inglés se ha convertido en los últimos tiempos en uno de los principales objetivos del sistema educativo, y es clara la propuesta de que la adquisición de esta lengua se lleve a cabo a través de contenidos. La Educación Física (EF), gracias a sus características, parece una de las áreas en las que se apuesta más fuerte por la utilización del inglés como lengua vehicular. Sin embargo, para desarrollar una práctica óptima utilizando esta lengua como vehículo comunicativo, conviene atender tanto a factores propios del aprendizaje de lenguas, como a las peculiaridades de la Educación Física. El presente artículo analiza esas particularidades ligándolas con los aspectos clave d…
Niedoceniony wymiar - aspekt dokonany/niedokonany w polskiej dydaktyce języka angielskiego
2016
Opozycja aspektu dokonanego i niedokonanego jest jednym z tych zjawisk, które gramatyka praktyczna języka angielskiego pomija milczeniem. Polski student tego języka natyka się na tę kategorię gramatyczną zwykle dopiero w czasie studiów na filologii angielskiej, gdzie program gramatyki praktycznej opiera się o takie podręczniki jak A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language autorstwa R.Quirk’a, Greenbaum’a, Svartvik’a i Leech’a. Taka praktyka pedagogiczna wydaje się wskazywać, że w opinii autorów programów nauczania, kategoria dokonaności/niedokonaności czasownika jest zjawiskiem interesującym raczej teoretyków, bez wpływu na ewentualny sukces lub porażkę ucznia usiłującego opanować jęz…
The Startup Scratch Book – Opening the Black Box of Startup Education
2021
Teaching entrepreneurship and startups is a challenging task. Approaches using real or simulated entrepreneurship as a teaching method are also common in startup education. However, as educators and researchers, we typically only observe the outcomes of the startup journey between weekly lectures and other meetings, whereas the actions taken by the student teams can seldom be observed. This makes the process a black box. All valuable learnings, realizations, and big ideas happen in the students’ minds, and little evidence exists to say what happened during the course. As a result, we are entirely missing out on the most critical elements of the learning process. To remedy this issue, we pro…
Experimental sulphide inhibition calibration method in nitrification processes: A case-study.
2020
[EN] Sulphide is one of the inhibitors in the nitrification process in WWTP in regions with sulphate rich soils. As little information is currently available on sulphide nitrification inhibition, the aim of this study was to develop a method based on a modification of the Successive Additions Method to calibrate the effect of sulphide on the activity of ammonia-oxidising bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidising bacteria (NOB). The developed method was then applied to activated sludge samples from two WWTPs with different influent sulphide concentrations. In both cases, sulphide had a greater inhibitory effect on NOB than AOB activity. The sulphide inhibition was found to be lower in the activat…
