This paper describes a knowledge integration framework for robotics, whose goal is to represent, store, adapt, and distribute knowledge across engineering platforms. The architecture abstracts the components as data sources, where data are available in the AutomationML data exchange format. AutomationML is an on-going standard initiative that aims at unifying data representation and APIs used by e
Vitamin K-dependent protein S is involved in the regulation of blood coagulation. It is a 75-kDa single chain protein with an NH2-terminal gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing domain followed by a thrombin-sensitive region and four domains arranged in tandem, each of which is homologous to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) precursor. The NH2-terminal EGF-like domain contains beta-hydroxyaspartic
Labour management in the past has been the studied by researchers from various disciplines and perspectives. Among labour economists and economic historians, there is an emerging current that aims to test hypotheses derived from theories about internal labour markets. So far, most studies have focused on companies whose workforces have been stable or expanding over time. This paper analyzes the in
Although Procellariiform nestlings develop independent endothermic thermoregulation at an early age, they may not be able to meet the high energetic costs of maintaining a constant high body temperature during prolonged periods of fasting or cold exposure. The ability to reduce body temperature and enter torpor could therefore represent an important survival strategy in the Procellariiformes. It i
Villaträdgården rymmer många former av rörelse. Vissa hänger samman med årets, dygnets och livets cykler. När växtligheten spirar, myllrar det av liv och mänsklig aktivitet i trädgårdarna. Kroppar i rörelse hanterar det växande; planterar och gödslar, ansar och gallrar, gräver upp och klipper ner. Andra rörelser är långsammare; som när buskar breder ut sig och träd skjuter i höjden. En sådan långs
