Buying a car is not only an expensive exercise, but also requires studying several factors, especially the reliability of the model. Reliability is the most important factor when it comes to getting the car insured. If the model is known to break down, then the insurance premium automatically goes up. So, let's take a look at some car companies and see how reliable their models are. Shared by: http://revol.com.sg/

Introduction to Enterprise Architecture Leo Shuster
Enterprise architecture is a discipline for proactively managing organizational change and complexity by aligning business strategy, goals, and processes with information technology solutions. It provides a framework for governing technology decisions and guiding the organization from its current to future state. Benefits include improved business-IT alignment, increased agility, standardization, and cost savings. Enterprise architecture frameworks like TOGAF provide common vocabulary, models, and processes to develop the current and target architecture states and transition plans.

Bridging business analysis and business architecture - The Open Group webinarCraig Martin
The document discusses bridging business analysis and business architecture. It notes that lines of responsibility around enterprise cohesion and business architecture are often unclear in large organizations. Business stakeholders are seeking more value from business architecture but often receive more complexity. The value and skills required of business analysis and business architecture roles depends on the mandate from the business, whether it is to improve projects, programs/portfolios, business performance, or products/services. A lack of opportunity exists currently for these roles to operate at a high strategic level due to various organizational and political factors. Strategies are discussed for moving these roles up the curve to open more opportunities, such as aligning more closely to planning, providing strategic insights, creating unified cross-discipline teams,

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AUTO OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR WITH SOS ALERT FOR HIKING ...JeevanKp7
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) and novel techniques of evaluating treatment efficacy have enhanced the quality of life and decreased healthcare expenses for COPD patients.
The cost of a pulmonary blood gas test is comparable to the cost of two days of oxygen therapy and the cost of a hospital stay is equivalent to the cost of one month of oxygen therapy, long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is a cost-effective technique of treating this disease.
A small number of clinical investigations on LTOT have shown that it improves the quality of life of COPD patients by reducing the loss of their respiratory capacity. A study of 8487 Danish patients found that LTOT for 1524 hours per day extended life expectancy from 1.07 to 1.40 years.

Combined supervised and unsupervised neural networks for pulse shape discrimi...Samuel Jackson
Our methodology for pulse shape discrimination is split into two steps. Firstly, we learn a model to discriminate between pulses using "clean" low-rate examples by removing pile-up & saturated events. In addition to traditional tail sum discrimination, we investigate three different choices for discrimination between γ-pulses, fast, thermal neutrons. We consider clustering the pulses directly using Gaussian Mixture Modelling (GMM), using variational autoencoders to learn a representation of the pulses and then clustering the learned representation (VAE+GMM) and using density ratio estimation to discriminate between a mixed (γ + neutron) and pure (γ only) sources using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) as a supervised learning problem.
Secondly, we aim to classify and recover pile-up events in the < 150 ns regime by training a single unified multi-label MLP. To frame the problem as a multi-label supervised learning method, we first simulate pile-up events with known components. Then, using the simulated data and combining it with single event data, we train a final multi-label MLP to output a binary code indicating both how many and which type of events are present within an event window.
