Sociological Aspects on Man, Value Orientation and Sustainable Development

The aim of this chapter is to tenatively discuss a sociological perspective on the relations between man, value orientation, behavioral orientation and sustainable development. Sociologists often get questions about the stability and development of values and willingness to change behavior in a direction which is more favorable to the environment. There are lots of problems with such questions. Th

Developing A Proactive Safety Performance Measurement Tool (SPMT) For Construction Sites

‘Safety pays’ is a phrase commonly used. But, when it comes to putting that concept into practice, very few are actually successful at it. Reasons given include: it is costly or it is a waste of time or it is not the main cause of failure. However the real problem is that there is not enough guidance as to how to improve safety performance on site. Traditional measurement approaches include accide

Sparse bayesian classification of predicate arguments

We present an application of Sparse Bayesian Learning to the task of semantic role labeling, and we demonstrate that this method produces smaller classifiers than the popular Support Vector approach. We describe the classification strategy and the features used by the classifier. In particular, the contribution of six parse tree path features is investigated.

EXIT chart evaluation of a receiver structure for multi-user multi-antenna OFDM systems

In this paper we evaluate, by means of Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts, an iterative receiver that has emerged as a promising candidate for non-coherent multi-user multi-antenna OFDM systems. The receiver performs parallel interference cancellation (followed by linear filtering) and channel estimation, using soft symbols obtained from a bank of single-user decoders. For the sake of co

Optical Diagnostics of Laser-Induced and Spark Plug-Assisted Hcci Combustion

HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), laser-assisted HCCI and spark plug-assisted HCCI combustion was studied experimentally in a modified single cylinder truck-size Scania D12 engine equipped with a quartz liner and quartz piston crown for optical access. The aim of this study was to find out how and to what extent the spark, generated to influence or even trigger the onset of ignition,
