Ontology concept similarity calculation is a key issue in these applications. One approach for ontology application is to learn an optimal ontology score function which maps each vertex in graph into a real-value. And the similarity between vertices is measured by the difference of their corresponding scores. The multi-dividing ontology algorithm is an ontology learning trick such that the model divides ontology vertices into k parts correspond to the k classes of rates. In this paper, we propose the gradient descent multi-dividing ontology algorithm based on iterative gradient computation and yield the learning rates with general convex losses by virtue of the suitable step size and regularisation parameter selection.","PeriodicalId":38792,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management","volume":"5 1","pages":"217-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84510844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, critical parameters and decision-making procedures are addressed. Then two applied cases are investigated. One is four-sided polygon profile shaft connection replacing involute spline connection in washing machine drive system. The other is shaft assembly which can slide and adjust its length in the reconfigurable manufacturing line. The results significantly demonstrate the effectiveness of profile shaft connection.","PeriodicalId":38792,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management","volume":"24 1","pages":"336-348"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84720433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is definitely a need to adopt change in the educational processes in order to improve and stay ahead in the business of education. Till date in India, most of the self-financed engineering institutions are considering the performance of top-notch institutions as quality benchmarks and role models in finalising their academic activities. However, they have failed to adopt a strategy to follow a definite quality model. The main purpose of this research paper is to investigate the adoption of integrated educational quality management system (IEQMS) practice to polarise quality education in engineering educational institutions (EEIs) in India from the perspective of a teaching faculty. In this paper, a comprehensive instrument is prepared based on ten critical factors with 113 variables of IEQMS to measure the performance of the institutions. The collected data has been analysed and interpreted by using statistical tools like factor analysis, ANOVA and correlation. Based on this analysis, it is found that the ten critical factors of IEQMS significantly support to achieve quality in EEIs.","PeriodicalId":38792,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management","volume":"99 1","pages":"257-274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85474469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical study diagnoses these processes considering the perceptions of Portuguese National Police [Policia de Seguranca Publica (PSP)] professionals, as well as their motivation and satisfaction levels, main stress sources and repercussions on performance. Quantitative methodology was chosen. The evaluation protocol included measuring scales for stress sources, satisfaction with life, organisational commitment and perception on human resources (HR) processes. Analysis procedures included descriptive statistics, univariable and multivariable comparative analysis and regression analysis. The sample consisted of 146 professionals from six police stations. The analysis led to concluding on the need to perform changes on the human resources management (HRM) processes. Satisfaction with life and organisational commitment relate amongst themselves and inversely with stress sources, with all correlations being affected by demographic variables and by constraints derived from professional activity.","PeriodicalId":38792,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"275-305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78743418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the concept of average delivery time satisfaction degree, the formulated partner selection problem is interpreted so as to maximise the score of average delivery time satisfaction degree. The model takes into account the factors of average delivery time satisfaction degree, due date, cost and the precedence of tasks. To solve the problem, an improved particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is proposed. Finally, the simulation of a numerical example and comparisons with the standard PSO algorithm demonstrate that the improved PSO algorithm can effectively improve the searching quality, and the method is effective.","PeriodicalId":38792,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"349-362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86521925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
