Currently, companies apply existing asset discovery approaches in an ad hoc manner over asset repositories to find the right assets. To precisely identify the right assets, the discovery engine should acquire different types of knowledge regarding: (1) the created assets, (2) the involved application domains, (3) the adopted software ontologies, (4) the adopted matching approaches, and (5) users' contexts and goals. Then the discovery engine uses all these types of knowledge to find the right assets. Hence, we need a framework that is able to manage all these types of knowledge in a dynamic, machine-understandable, and context-sensitive manner. Therefore, this article proposes USTA an aspect-oriented knowledge management framework for reusable assets discovery. USTA enables companies to define and manage their software ontologies in an aspect-oriented manner. It also enables them to define their corresponding matching schemes. USTA enables users to define their goals, contexts, and their preferred matching policies along with their aspect-oriented queries. USTA uses all this information to dynamically create a customized discovery process for every query. Experimental results show that the dynamic and customized discovery approach adopted by USTA provides better matching precision when compared to existing discovery approaches that adopt a static discovery process for all queries.

Atmospheric iridium at the South Pole as a measure of the meteoritic component Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1987-10) The measurement of iridium (Ir) in atmospheric samples is important because it gives information on the short-term flux of extraterrestrial material without interference from fragmentation products from large bodies. Such information cannot be obtained from sediment samples, because sediment samples integrate over millions of years and include contributions of large bodies impacted in that time period. In addition to flux information, through the analysis of Ir in atmospheric samples we can also evaluate a ...
Some findings on joint replenishment of items with stochastic demand and backordering Gök, Yasemin; Şatir, Ahmet; Goyal, Suresh (Elsevier BV, 1988-1) Some findings on joint replenishment of items with stochastic demand and backordering are presented. The specific problem dealt with is the stock control of the spare parts in a petroleum company. Sensitivity analysis, analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis are carried out to study the effect of various factors on the cost savings achieved by joint replenishment policy over independent replenishment policy. Major findings of the study are discussed in conjunction with the results of a previou...
Stochastic optimization applied to self-financing portfolio: does bequest matter? Gazioglu, Saziye; Bastiyali-Hayfavi, Azize (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The article studies stochastic optimization of an intertemporal consumption model to allocate financial assets between risky and risk-free assets. We use a stochastic optimization technique, in which utility is maximized subject to a self-financing portfolio constraint. The papers in literature have estimated the errors of Euler equations using data from financial markets. It has been shown that it is sufficient to test the first order Euler equation implied by the model. However, they all assume a constant...
Numerical and Experimental Investigation into LWIR Transmission Performance of Complementary Silicon Subwavelength Antireflection Grating (SWARG) Structures Cetin, Ramazan; Akın, Tayfun (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-03-18) This paper presents a detailed comparison between the long wave infrared (LWIR) transmission performances of binary, silicon based, structurally complementary pillar and groove type antireflective gratings that can be used for wafer level vacuum packaging (WLVP) of uncooled microbolometer detectors. Both pillar and groove type gratings are designed with various topological configurations changing in various period sizes (Delta) from 1.0 mu m to 2.0 mu m, various heights/depths (h) from 0.8 mu m to 1.8 mu m,...
Novel topological nodal lines and exotic drum-head-like surface states in synthesized CsCl-type binary alloy TiOs Wang, Xiaotian; Ding, Guangqian; Cheng, Zhenxiang; Surucu, Gokhan; Wang, Xiao-Lin; Yang, Tie (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) Very recently, searching for new topological nodal line semimetals (TNLSs) and drum-head-like (DHL) surface states has become a hot topic in the field of physical chemistry of materials. Via first principles, in this study, a synthesized CsCl type binary alloy, TiOs, was predicted to be a TNLS with three topological nodal lines (TNLs) centered at the X point in the k(x/y/z) = pi plane, and these TNLs, which are protected by mirror, time reversal (T) and spatial inversion (P) symmetries, are perpendicular to...
