  • Quattro Pro(R)
    Crunching numbers Are you divided on how to best use Corel® Quattro Pro® X7? Does the mere thought of working with numbers multiply your fears? If so, read on for insights that will add to your productivity and subtract from your worries. Performing simple math To do simple math (such as 2+2 or 3×6) in a cell, create a math formula: 1. Type a plus sign ( + ), followed by the first number (without commas). 2. Type the math operator for the calculation you want to perform: • a plus sign for addition; a minus sign ( - ) for subtraction • an asterisk ( * ) for multiplication; a forward slash ( / ) for division The input line (at top) shows 3. Type the second number (without commas), and then press Enter to the formula for the selected display the result in the cell. cell, which shows the result. TIP: You can also specify cells (such as G12) or cell ranges (such as H1..H3). Combining math operations You can combine multiple math operations into more complex formulas. The standard mathematical order of operations applies—so multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction. If you want to prioritize an operation, you must enclose it (in parentheses): • For example, +5+4*3-2 equates to 15 (that is, 5+12-2). • However, +(5+4)*(3-2) equates to 9 (that is, 9×1). A blue triangle at lower-left indicates that the cell 3 TIP: Specify an exponent (such as 2 ) by using a caret (as in +2^3). contains a formula. Calculating with functions Quattro Pro offers over 500 functions: built-in calculations that you can use within—or instead of—math formulas.

  • OASIS Response to NSTC Request for Feedback on Standard Practices
    OASIS RESPONSE TO NSTC REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK ON STANDARDS PRACTICES OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is pleased to respond to the request from the National Science and Technology Council's Sub-Committee on Standards published at 75 FR 76397 (2010), and extended by 76 FR 3877 (2011), for feedback and observations regarding the effectiveness of Federal agencies' participation in the development and implementation of standards and conformity assessment activities and programs. We have advised our own members about the Federal Register inquiry, in case they wish to respond. Of course, their opinions are their own, and this response does not represent the views of any members, but only the observations of OASIS professional staff. I. RESPONDENT'S BACKGROUND OASIS is one of the largest and oldest global open data standards consortia, founded in 1993 as SGML Open. OASIS has over 5000 active participants representing about 600 member organizations and individual members in over 80 countries. We host widely-used standards in multiple fields including • cybersecurity & access control (such as WS-Security, SAML, XACML, KMIP, DSS & XSPA) [/1], • office documents and smart semantic documents (such as OpenDocument, DITA, DocBook & CMIS) [/2], and • electronic commerce (including SOA and web services, such as BPEL, ebXML, WS-ReliableMessaging & the WS-Transaction standards) [/3] among other areas. Various specific vertical industries also fulfill their open standards requirements by initiating OASIS projects, resulting in mission-specific standards such as • UBL and Business Document Exchange (for e-procurement) [/4], • CAP and EDML (for emergency first-responder notifications) [/5], and • LegalXML (for electronic court filing data)[/6].

  • Automated Software System for Checking the Structure and Format of Acm Sig Documents
    AUTOMATED SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR CHECKING THE STRUCTURE AND FORMAT OF ACM SIG DOCUMENTS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCES OF NEAR EAST UNIVERSITY By ARSALAN RAHMAN MIRZA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Science in Software Engineering NICOSIA, 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help, support and patience of my principal supervisor, my deepest gratitude goes to Assist. Prof. Dr. Melike Şah Direkoglu, for her constant encouragement and guidance. She has walked me through all the stages of my research and writing thesis. Without her consistent and illuminating instruction, this thesis could not have reached its present from. Above all, my unlimited thanks and heartfelt love would be dedicated to my dearest family for their loyalty and their great confidence in me. I would like to thank my parents for giving me a support, encouragement and constant love have sustained me throughout my life. I would also like to thank the lecturers in software/computer engineering department for giving me the opportunity to be a member in such university and such department. Their help and supervision concerning taking courses were unlimited. Eventually, I would like to thank a man who showed me a document with wrong format, and told me “it will be very good if we have a program for checking the documents”, however I don’t know his name, but he hired me to start my thesis based on this idea. ii To Alan Kurdi To my Nephews Sina & Nima iii ABSTRACT Microsoft office (MS) word is one of the most commonly used software tools for creating documents.

  • JSON Application Programming Interface for Discrete Event Simulation Data Exchange
    JSON Application Programming Interface for Discrete Event Simulation data exchange Ioannis Papagiannopoulos Enterprise Research Centre Faculty of Science and Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technology University of Limerick Submitted to the University of Limerick for the degree of Master of Engineering 2015 1. Supervisor: Prof. Cathal Heavey Enterprise Research Centre University of Limerick Ireland ii Abstract This research is conducted as part of a project that has the overall aim to develop an open source discrete event simulation (DES) platform that is expandable, and modular aiming to support the use of DES at multi-levels of manufacturing com- panies. The current work focuses on DES data exchange within this platform. The goal of this thesis is to develop a DES exchange interface between three different modules: (i) ManPy an open source discrete event simulation engine developed in Python on the SimPy library; (ii) A Knowledge Extraction (KE) tool used to populate the ManPy simulation engine from shop-floor data stored within an Enterprise Requirements Planning (ERP) or a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to allow the potential for real-time simulation. The development of the tool is based on R scripting language, and different Python libraries; (iii) A Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed in JavaScript used to provide an interface in a similar manner to Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) DES tools. In the literature review the main standards that could be used are reviewed. Based on this review and the requirements above, the data exchange format standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) was selected. The proposed solution accom- plishes interoperability between different modules using an open source, expand- able, and easy to adopt and maintain, in an all inclusive JSON file.
