Abstract This paper discusses the development of a set of algorithms for the automatic nesting of ship/offshore structural plates. The algorithms are developed to take advantage of the peculiarity of most ship/offshore structural plates with the aims of optimising material usage and minimising computer search time. The parts to be nested are first processed by a shape processing routine which employs a simple feature extraction approach to classify the plates according to predefined rules specially adopted for ship/offshore structural shapes. The most appropriate search path for each class of plates is used to obtain the best enclosing rectangle for similar shapes. The search paths are based on heuristics developed to simulate the manual method used by the human operator. Finally, all the plates are laid out on the stock sheet using a “rectangle packing” approach. A computer package, Patnest-Ship was developed to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithms and very encouraging results are achieved. The input and output files to and from Patnest-Ship are described in DXF format so that it can be integrated with existing CAD/CAM systems. Pre- and post-processors for this package have been implemented on AutoCAD to permit the user to define the plates and interactively improve on the solutions provided by Patnest-Ship, if necessary.

Abstract:Bayesian inferencing as a machine learning technique was evaluated for identifying pre-crash activity and crash type from accident narratives describing 3,686 motor vehicle crashes. It was hypothesized that a Bayesian model could learn from a computer search for 63 keywords related to accident categories. Learning was described in terms of the ability to accurately classify previously unclassifiable narratives not containing the original keywords. When narratives contained keywords, the results obtained using both the Bayesian model and keyword search corresponded closely to expert ratings (P(detection)≥0.9, and P(false positive)≤0.05). For narratives not containing keywords, when the threshold used by the Bayesian model was varied between p>0.5 and p>0.9, the overall probability of detecting a category assigned by the expert varied between 67% and 12%. False positives correspondingly varied between 32% and 3%. These latter results demonstrated that the Bayesian system learned from the results of the keyword searches.

Up to now, organizational buying is still interesting topic discussed. There are divergences among the findings in organizational buying researches. Different perspectives, fenomena observed, research domains and methods caused the divergences. This paper will discusse organizational buying behavior based on literature review, focused on behavior of decision making unit mainly on equipment buying. From this review literatures, it would be theoritical foundation that is valid and reliable to develop propositions in organizational buying behavior. Based on review literature refferences, variables are classified into: purchase situation, member of decision making unit perception, conflict among the members, information search, influences among members of decision making unit. Integrated approach is used to develop propositions relating to: purchasing complexity, sharing responsibility among the members, conflict in decision making unit, information search, time pressure as moderating variable between sharing responsibility and conflict in decision making unit, the influence among the members inside decision making unit and decision making outcome
