Standard agreement measures for interannotator reliability are neither necessary nor sufficient to ensure a high quality corpus. In a case study of word sense annotation, conventional methods for evaluating labels from trained annotators are contrasted with a probabilistic annotation model applied to crowdsourced data. The annotation model provides far more information, including a certainty measure for each gold standard label; the crowdsourced data was collected at less than half the cost of the conventional approach.

Better Than

Drill cuttings are generally used in open pits and quarries as the most common stemming material, since these are most readily available at blast sites. The plaster stemming method has been found to be better than the drill cuttings stemming method, due to increased confinement inside the hole and better utilization of blast explosive energy in the rock. The main advantage of the new stemming method is the reduction in the cost of blasting. At a limestone quarry, blasting costs per unit volume of rock were reduced by 7%. This is obtained by increasing burden and spacing distances. In addition, better fragmentation was obtained by using the plaster stemming method. Blast trials showed that plaster stemming produced finer material than the conventional methods. In the same blast tests, +20 cm size fragments reduced to 42.6% of the total, compared to 48.7% in the conventional method of drill cuttings stemming.

The usage of multilevel inverter has increased in a drastic manner for the past years. These novel  inverters are useful in various mega power applications. As they are have the ability to change the output waveforms, they are having good harmonic distortions and better output results. This work proposes a novel five level asymmetrical  inverter which is incorporated with the zeta converter. Comparison is made with the existing multilevel inverter with the proposed system. The simulation results give the proposed system has less THD[1] when compared to the existing inverters. The main objective is that the number of switches and capacitors are reduced which in turn reduces the loss and the cost. From the output results is has been proved that the proposed topology gives reduced loss and high quality output when compared with the conventional methods.

This chapter presents a reflection of the development of dramatized video cases as a resource for use in teaching marketing. It explains the benefits of developing and the pitfalls with making this sort of interactive media. The benefits of using dramatized video scenarios as a teaching resource are: a) they facilitate problem based learning; b) they provide the student with a realistic view of the ethical decisions that are faced by marketing managers, and c) they keep the class learning at the same pace. The development of a multi-platform format means that the videos can be streamed into lectures and tutorial groups, published as streaming content on Web based platforms such as Blackboard and/or downloaded onto students’ cell phones and iPods. However, the problems associated with developing this sort of resource are the cost and time required to make a high quality and credible dramatized case study.

Shift to The Front II Komplek Sukamukti Banjaran Project is one of the projects implemented by one of the companies engaged in telecommunications. In its implementation, each project including Shift to The Front II Komplek Sukamukti Banjaran has a time limit specified in the contract. Project scheduling is an important role in predicting both the cost and time in a project. Every project should be able to complete the project before or just in the time specified in the contract. Delay in a project can be anticipated by accelerating the duration of completion by using the crashing method with the application of linear programming. Linear programming will help iteration in the calculation of crashing because if linear programming not used, iteration will be repeated. The objective function in this scheduling is to minimize the cost. This study aims to find a trade-off between the costs and the minimum time expected to complete this project. The acceleration of the duration of this study was carried out using the addition of 4 hours of overtime work, 3 hours of overtime work, 2 hours of overtime work, and 1 hour of overtime work. The normal time for this project is 35 days with a service fee of Rp. 52,335,690. From the results of the crashing analysis, the alternative chosen is to add 1 hour of overtime to 34 days with a total service cost of Rp. 52,375,492. This acceleration will affect the entire project because there are 33 different locations worked on Shift to The Front II and if all these locations can be accelerated then the duration of completion of the entire project will be effective

Abstract A component failure has the potential to significantly impact the cost, manufacturing schedule, and/or the perceived reliability of a system, especially if the root cause of the failure is not known. A failure analysis is often key to mitigating the effects of a componentlevel failure to a customer or a system; minimizing schedule slips, minimizing related accrued costs to the customer, and allowing for the completion of the system with confidence that the reliability of the product had not been compromised. This case study will show how a detailed and systemic failure analysis was able to determine the exact cause of failure of a multiplexer in a high-reliability system, which allowed the manufacturer to confidently proceed with production knowing that the failure was not a systemic issue, but rather that it was a random “one time” event.

Abstract As technology nodes continue to shrink, resistive opens have become increasingly difficult to detect using conventional methods such as AVC and PVC. The failure isolation method, Electron Beam Absorbed Current (EBAC) Imaging has recently become the preferred method in failure analysis labs for fast and highly accurate detection of resistive opens and shorts on a number of structures. This paper presents a case study using a two nanoprobe EBAC technique on a 28nm node test structure. This technique pinpointed the fail and allowed direct TEM lamella.

As the wave forces are the function of the wave height, period and the angle between the incoming wave direction and the axis of the discharge pipeline, the resultant wave force is directly related to the alignment of the pipeline. In this paper, a method is explained to determine an optimum pipeline route for which the resultant wave force becomes minimum and hence, the cost of the constructive measures may decrease. Also, the application of this method is submitted through a case study.
