Tools and Methods for Developing Easy to Use Driver Information Systems

This essay seeks to critically conceptualize the term geocultural space and the emerging field of study with which it is associated by exploring the various ways in which such space is currently being mapped by researchers using digital humanities tools and methods. In drawing together intersecting interests in Geographic Information Systems and spatio-cultural narratives and experiences, this work defines an interdisciplinary field of research that is gathering momentum as geolocative technologies that shape and reshape the ways in which we perceive and experience the world become increasingly prevalent in academic life and in the cultural mainstream.

Tools And Methods

With the increase in the number of paid educational services of educational institutions, the percentage of fraudulent actions committed, both in relation to web services and in relation to service purchasers, also increases. Therefore, all participants in the process of banking transactions, i.e. the totality of operations that accompany remote interaction between the user and the payment system, must be protected from such actions, which determines the introduction and development of anti-fraud technologies used in the virtual space of the global Internet. Errors in the protection of websites, including websites of paid educational services of educational institutions, continue to be one of the most common shortcomings in ensuring the protection of information. Such errors, i.e. vulnerabilities, are exploited by attackers who attack websites in order to steal valuable information. It also increases the likelihood of subsequent penetration into the corporate information systems of educational institutions. Therefore, there is a need to use specialized tools and methods to protect web applications.

This article focuses on the state of knowledge about information-visualization tools, urban-planning applications, and theoretical constructs and dilemmas. It argues that simply adding information-visualization tools and methods to a planner's toolbox does not guarantee that new questions will be raised or new insights will be developed, or that use of visual information will lead to appropriate and inclusive planning processes and actions. The article explains that the emergence of mixed methodologies, which can help address some concerns about the representational flexibility of geographic information systems (GIS) and other visualization tools, has also brought implicit dilemmas for visualization scholars and practitioners. These include social cognition, and the confrontation between expert knowledge and lay knowledge.

Tools And Methods

This article discusses the introduction of Process Mining methods in the activities of organizations. Process Mining should be used in any cases where there is a reflection of the activities of employees in information systems and where one of two conditions is met: • these are simple mass processes that are produced several thousand (tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands) times a day (for example, customer banking). The sequence of steps is verified to the last detail, and we monitor the effectiveness of a particular employee, Department. It is unlikely that it will be possible to change the mechanics of the process, but you can save on debugging the work of each link, which together will give a tangible effect. • these are complex, long, individual processes involving multiple departments. In this case, Process Mining is not looking for a way to speed up, but a way to simplify the process, optimize the number of steps, avoid process defects, unnecessary cycles, involvement of unnecessary participants, etc. The article shows that in both cases the use of Process Mining gives a significant economic effect.

Tools And Methods

Traditional specimen preparation procedures for non-biological samples, especially cross section preparation procedures, involves subjecting the specimen to ion milling for times ranging from minutes to tens of hours. Long ion milling time produces surface alteration, atomic number and rough-surface topography artifacts, and high temperatures. The introduction of new tools and methods in this laboratory improved our ability to mechanically thin specimens to a point where ion milling time was reduced to one to ten minutes. Very short ion milling times meant that ion milling was more of a cleaning operation than a thinning operation. The preferential thinning and the surface topography that still existed in briefly ion milled samples made the study of interfaces between materials such as platinum silicide and silicon difficult. These two problems can be eliminated by completely eliminating the ion milling step and mechanically polishing the sample to TEM transparency with the procedure outlined in this communication. Previous successful efforts leading to mechanically thinned specimens have shown that problems center on tool tilt control, removal of polishing damage, and specimen cleanliness.

Abstract School-based speech-language pathologists assess students to establish eligibility, collect baselines for treatment goals, determine progress during intervention and verify generalization of skills. Selecting appropriate assessment tools and methods can be challenging due to time constraints, agency regulations, and availability of tests. This article will describe legal considerations, types of assessments, and the factors involved with the selection and use of various assessment procedures and tools. In addition, speech-language pathologists will learn to calculate words correct per minute (WCPM) and perform miscue analysis, which can provide additional language and literacy information about a child's educational needs.
