Abstract:
This article reviews approaches to presenting qualitative comparative analysis and set-theoretic research, with an emphasis on graphic presentation. Although visualization is an important aspect of presenting empirical research, techniques for visualizing qualitative comparative analysis remains underdeveloped. This article reviews existing and emerging standards of presenting qualitative comparative analysis and introduces a number of new ones. Techniques are presented for visualizing calibrated data, truth tables, and consistency/coverage solutions, with particular attention given to strategies for presenting superset/subset relationships.

Abstract:
This paper examines the early transmission and translation of Arabic astronomical tables in China by comparing the layouts of parallax correction tables. After comparing the layouts of equation tables in various Huihui lifa works, this paper concludes that the characteristics of tabular layout are related to the specific nature of each work, and these adjustments thereto may reflect changes in their intended audience and purpose. Comparison of a single type of table that appears in Huihui lifa works of different eras in one-dimensional array, two-dimensional array, and rotational symmetry layouts illustrates that Chinese astronomical tables continually absorbed and adapted the advantages offered by Arabic and European counterparts, flexibly adapting them to their own purposes on the basis of their own tradition and habits.

Abstract:
The use of semantic technologies including ontologies is a widespread practice in modern intelligent system engineering. Spreadsheets are one of the most accessible and common ways of representing and storing information which are characterized by a wide variety and heterogeneity of layouts, styles and content while remaining a valuable source of domain knowledge. The paper proposes to automate the process of ontology engineering based on the analysis and transformation of spreadsheets with an arbitrary layout. For this purpose a new approach is presented that provides the restoration of the semantics of tabular data, conceptualization, and formalization of tabular content in the form of ontology. The main stages of the proposed approach and a description of the software are presented. The developed software was used to solve the practical problem of ontology engineering for diagnosing and assessing the technical condition of petrochemical equipment. Spreadsheets extracted from reports on industrial safety inspection of petrochemical complexes were used as the initial data. Based on the results of approbation, it was concluded that it is advisable to use the proposed approach when prototyping subject ontologies.

Abstract:
The usage of PDA and mobile devices has dramatically increased recently. However, mobile devices and PDA devices have a limited screen size, which makes it frustrating to browse tabular data on mobile devices since users have to frequently scroll up and down to find the information of interest. This paper presents an efficient means to present HTML-based tables on mobile devices. Based on the column and row headers, the authors adapt a HTML-based Web table into two adaptive styles. The first style displays all information of a table into a single narrow page to avoid horizontal scrolling; and the second style distributes information to different sub-pages, each of which approximately occupies the whole mobile screen, and thus eliminates scrolling. The approach is empirically evaluated using a controlled experiment. The main conclusions derived from the empirical study are: (1) the adaptive layout styles improves the browsing efficiency for individual subjects as compared to HTML web page style, (2) the single narrow adaptive layout resulted in the improved browsing efficiency compared to the multi-page adaptive layout for one-dimensional HTML web page tables, and (3) the multi-page adaptive layout was more efficient than the single narrow adaptive layout for two-dimensional HTML tables.

Abstract:
On-chip transformers are considered to be the primary components in many RF wireless applications. This paper provides an in-depth review of on-chip transformers, starting with a presentation on the various equivalent circuit models to represent transformer behavior and characterize their performance. Next, a comparative study on the different design and layout strategies is provided, and the fabrication techniques for on-chip implementation of transformers are discussed. The critical performance parameters to characterize on-chip transformers, such as the Q-factor, coupling factor (k), resonance frequency (fSR), and others, are discussed with reference to trade-offs in silicon chip real-estate. The performance parameters and area requirements for different types of on-chip transformers are summarized in tabular form and compared. Several techniques for performance enhancement of on-chip transformers, including the different types of micromachining and integration approaches stemming from MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technologies are also analyzed. Lastly, the different uses and applications of on-chip transformers are discussed to highlight the evolution of on-chip transformer technology over the recent years and provide directions for future work in this field.

Abstract:
Astronomical tablets have been a major focus of study by historians of science since the middle of the 20th century. Building upon the pioneering work of E. S. Kennedy, O. Neugebauer, and others, recent scholars have applied a range of techniques drawn from the exact sciences (e.g., computer-aided statistical analysis of tabular data to uncover the mathematical functions underlying a table’s construction), cognitive studies (e.g., examination of how practitioners use a table and what makes a table user-friendly or not), and manuscript studies (e.g., studies of tabular layout and visual clues to the use of tables, such as the presence of color as an indicator or specific final digits to numbers in the column of a table that indicate the nature of the table) to answer questions about the construction, use, and transmission of astronomical tables and the astronomical knowledge that they incorporate. For the past 20 years or so, José Chabás, often working in collaboration with B. R. Goldstein, has been at the forefront of work on early European astronomical tables.

Abstract:
The design and calculation of pipelines taking into account the mutual influence of local resistances is an urgent task in the hydraulics of pressure flows. The analysis and results of the hydraulic calculation of the Valtec metal-polymer pipeline are given, taking into account the lengths of the influence of local resistances of their mutual influence (interference). Tabular data on the lengths of influence of local resistances, coefficients of mutual influence used in the developed program of the Delhi (Object Pascal) environment are given. A graph of the dependence of specific pressure losses per 1 meter of pipeline length on the flow rate for the Valtec pipeline with an equivalent roughness of Δe/ d = 0.007 mm, obtained experimentally and data for a similar pipeline according to the reference data tables with an equivalent roughness of Δe / d = 0.01 mm, is presented. The results of the calculations and the interface of the Delphi 7 environment application program with the data in a tabular form for the hydraulic calculation of the total pressure losses in pipelines are shown, taking into account reference and experimental values of coefficients of local resistances. The data of the results of the hydraulic calculation of the total head losses, taking into account the specifi c linear pressure loss per 1 meter of the pipeline length without local resistances, are given to determine the head losses by length. The developed program can be used in the design, layout and hydraulic calculation of metal-polymer pipelines with specifi ed parameters.

Full text
Abstract:
Numerical modelling has long been used as a powerful tool for geomechanics mine design and analysis of such problems as ore dilution. Open stoping mining method with delayed backfill is generally employed for mining steeply dipping tabular ore deposits. Several authors reported that consideration of production blast vibrations on adjacent, exposed backfill faces is crucial for the effective backfill design for minimum ore dilution due to fill failure. In this study, it is shown that blast vibrations can be characterized with dynamic numerical modelling. A FLAC3D dynamic numerical model has been developed for a typical layout of a secondary stope that is being mined next to a previously mined and backfilled primary stope. The numerical simulations are validated by comparing predicted failure geometry with laser-surveyed stope profiles obtained with a cavity monitoring system. It is shown that blast-induced vibrations can be a primary cause for wedge-type failure of the backfill face.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of the article is to analyse the land transport accessibility of two trans-European corridors within the boundaries of Poland. The adjustment of the course of transport routes to the distribution of the population and the country’s land development (including economic potential and logistic infrastructure) was outlined using measurements of cumulative accessibility. The results were presented in both cartographic form (isochrone approach) and tabular form (cumulative approach). Research was conducted adopting different forms of transport used for relocation (including foot traffic, car, rail and multimodal transport) and both the current and target layout of the transport network. This made it possible to determine the changes that will effectively run the process of investment in transport infrastructure on Polish territory. This allowed the identification of the areas of Poland which are particularly conveniently located in relation to domestic connections (in terms of the international network) and those for which the European transport network remains difficult to access.

Abstract:
Spreadsheets compose a notably large and valuable dataset of documents within the enterprise settings and on the Web. Although spreadsheets are intuitive to use and equipped with powerful functionalities, extracting and reusing data from them remains a cumbersome and mostly manual task. Their greatest strength, the large degree of freedom they provide to the user, is at the same time also their greatest weakness, since data can be arbitrarily structured. Therefore, in this paper we propose a supervised learning approach for layout recognition in spreadsheets. We work on the cell level, aiming at predicting their correct layout role, out of five predefined alternatives. For this task we have considered a large number of features not covered before by related work. Moreover, we gather a considerably large dataset of annotated cells, from spreadsheets exhibiting variability in format and content. Our experiments, with five different classification algorithms, show that we can predict cell layout roles with high accuracy. Subsequently, in this paper we focus on revising the classification results, with the aim of repairing misclassifications. We propose a sophisticated approach, composed of three steps, which effectively corrects a reasonable number of inaccurate predictions.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how graph analysis techniques are able to complement and speed up the process of learning analytics and probability theory. It uses a sample of 2,353 e-learners from six European countries (France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and Spain), who were enrolled in their first year of open online courses offered by HarvardX and MITX. After controlling the variables for socio-demographics and online content interactions, the research reveals two main results relating student-content interactions and online behavior. First, a multiple binary logistic regression model tests that students who explore online chapters are more likely to be certified. Second, the authors propose an algorithm to generate an undirected bipartite network based on tabular data of student-content interactions (2,392 nodes, 25,883 edges, a visual representation based on modularity, degree and ForceAtlas2 layout); the graph shows a clear relationship between interactions with online chapters and chances of getting certified.

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel design methodology, which combines topology and shape optimization to define material distribution in the structural design of a truss. Firstly, in order to identify the best layout, the topology optimization process in the design domain is carried out by applying the BESO (Bidirectional Evolutionary Structural Optimization) method. In this approach, the low energy elements are eliminated from an initial mesh, and a new geometry is constructed. This new geometry consists of a set of elements with a higher elastic energy. This results in a new division of material providing different zones, some subjected to higher stress and others containing less elastic energy. Moreover, the elements of the final mesh are re-arranged and modified, considering the distribution of tension. This new arrangement is constructed by aligning and rotating the original mesh elements coherently to the principal directions. In the Shape Optimization stage, the resulting TO (Topology Optimization) geometry is refined. A process of replacing the tabular mesh is performed by rearranging the remaining elements. The vertices of the mesh are set as control polygon vertices and used as reference to define the NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) curves. This provides a parametric representation of the boundaries, outlining the high elastic energy zones. The final stage is the optimization of the continuous and analytically defined NURBS curve outlining the solid material domain. The Shape Optimization is carried out applying a gradient-based optimization method.

Full text
Abstract:
How to leverage the contradiction between commonality and diversity within a product family has been regarded as one of the crucial problems in Mass Customization. In order to support the process of product family design and optimization, a quantitative methodology for analyzing the relationship between feature commonality of generic components and manufacturing cost is proposed. Firstly, the information representation model for generic components is constructed based on generic bill-of-material (GBOM) and tabular layouts of article characteristics (SML). Then, by interviewing domain-specific experts and according to the relative importance of features and the influence of value difference of feature parameters on manufacturing process, the similarity matrix of generic component instances and overall feature commonality index (FCI) are proposed. After that, the manufacturing cost is estimated by customized activity-based costing (ABC) and the relationship between feature commonality and manufacturing cost is discussed to identify conditions of rational commonality decisions. Finally, a simple case study of rectangular steel plate product family is presented to verify the rationality of the proposed process and indexes.
