Future Developments Of Ontologies And Visualization

So far my taxonomies include the traditional object oriented relationships such as child, parent, sibling, attribute, and instance. There are other types of relationship that would need to be modelled in order to maximise the capabilities of software that would use the taxonomies. Basic key relationships used within the object oriented programming domain between objects are implemented. These key relationships depict families of objects that may share attributes and methods through inheritance. They also describe aggregations of objects that make (usually) some geometric sense.

Semantic descriptions with more relationship types than this allow a more expressive depiction of a problem domain, and can aid some forms of search within a model. One of the main advantages of a semantic net description, in terms of automated model generation, is that labelling relationships between objects allows the depiction of a number of aspects of a domain in one model, and with a consistent syntax. Ciocoiu et al (2000) explain how an engineering ontology can be made more rigorous in order to facilitate interoperability. This allows representation of, say, a product structure and its manufacturing processes together. A single node then is the only representation of that node within the model, with all its relationships depicted as arcs emanating/terminating at the node. More expressive semantic descriptions are possible through the use of one of the standard OWL dialects. Protégé has OWL plug-ins available that provide this functionality, together with links to reasoning tools for maintaining and analysing the logical constructs (Storey et al, 2004) and (Elenius, 2005). The University of Victoria Computer-Human Interaction and Software Engineering lab (CHISEL) (University of Victoria, 2006) has developed Jambalaya (Ernst et al, 2003) for visualization of knowledge and relationships. Cheung et al (2005) provide an ontology editor for knowledge sharing in manufacturing.

It is also important not to stay limited on one ontology development environment but instead explore how ontologies can be developed using a range of development tools and translated between each where necessary (Garcia-Castro and Gomez-Perez, 2006) are testing this. For this reason, a large range of ontology management tools have been investigated and meta languages. An interesting development is SWRL a Semantic Web Rule Language Combining OWL and RuleML and its use in modelling (Miller and Baramidze, 2005).

Samsung D800 - Innovative Technology With Loads To Offer

The present mobile phone world is more dynamic and literally crammed with innumerable handsets. Therefore, you need to merge all the essential factors like technology, features, designing to lure more and more users. The race is on like never before and each leading handset manufacturer is trying to outplay others with consistent innovation. The Samsung D800 also belongs to the category of such handsets, which are sheer examples of technical enhancements. Moreover, the Samsung D800 also offers all that you want in designing. It has been duly designed with each detail to live up to the expectations of the users. Relying on its essential resources, the Samsung D800 is an upgraded version of the D500.

Like its predecessor, the Samsung D800 is based on the popular trend of 'slim-wide' design. It is quite a slim phone with 14.9mm dimension and very well complemented by its smooth slide-up mechanism. Furthermore, it has been empowered by the latest multimedia functionalities. It also boasts of a 1.3 megapixel camera and digital zoom, but you have to compromise on the picture quality. The Samsung D800 does good care of your viewing experience. Hence, it is endowed with a 240 x 320 pixels screen resolution. Thus, you can view all your documents on its big screen.

As far as technology is concerned, the Samsung D800 is way ahead of its predecessor. It supports Bluetooth, tri-band network coverage, PictBridge, EDGE technology – all that you can think of in a present mobile handset. To provide adequate space, the Samsung D800 is also supported by 80MB of memory space. You can also connect it with your TV to watch video clips with its TV out feature. Its voice recognition feature allows you to record voice and you would easily know about the caller, as it can recognise the voice.

The Samsung D800 also scores really well, when it comes to battery. Its battery can provide a talk time of 3.5 hours in a decent standby mode – talk more with enough power. You can also listen to your favourite music on its inbuilt music player, which can play music in various popular formats like MP3, AAC, AAC+ and e-AAC+. The Samsung D800 is really an all-rounder and it would be a great fun to have such a dynamic handset.

The 5-Minute Guide to Learning How to Play Chess

Chess is a marvelous game to learn how to play and is as popular today as ever. With a near perfect balance of offense and defense, strategy vs. tactics, it requires you to think about how your current move will impact the game several moves ahead. The very best way to learn how to play and to develop a keen sense of strategy is to play with others. But as a beginner you should first get a handle on the basics of the game.

Surveying the Battlefield - Aligning the Chess Board

The board is made with eight columns and eight rows. When you are sitting at the chess board the bottom right hand square should be white so if it's not, rotate the board as needed. The columns are identified with letters, so when looking at the board from the white side, a - h, going from left to right. Numbers are used to identify each of the rows, so again using the white side as the reference, the rows are numbered 1 - 8 from bottom to top. Of course, this is all reversed when looking at it from the black side, so column "A" is on black's right side and row 8 is closest.

Amassing Your Troops on the Battlefield - Setting up the Board and How Each Chess Piece Moves

There are six different types of chess pieces. Each piece looks different and should be placed on the board in the correct order.

The Pawn: You have eight Pawns and they are the smallest (and arguably weakest) pieces on the board. You should place them on the second row from the bottom and all the way across. The first time you move the pawn, you may move forward one or two places. After that, it can only move one space forward at a time. When using your pawn to capture your opponent's piece, you must move one place diagonally. That's one of the things that makes the pawns unique in that they capture differently than how they move. Another reason the pawns are unique is that if you get one all the way across the board, you can declare it any piece you want. So for instance, you could name it a queen and have more than one queen in play...a very powerful strategy.

Next, we'll work place pieces on the bottom row, working from the outside in.

The Rook: The two pieces that look like castles are Rooks and they go on the board next and are placed on the bottom row in each corner, so on the outermost squares for that row. The Rooks moves forward or sideways as many places as it wants, so only along the columns or rows, not diagonally. In addition, the Rooks can't jump any pieces (in fact only one piece can). You capture a piece with your Rooks by landing directly on the same square as the opposing piece.

The Knight: Next are the Knights, and they usually look like horses and they sit next to the Rooks. The way the Knights move is a little trickier. They move in the shape of an "L". You can move up one space and then over two places in either direction. Or you can move up two spaces and over one in either direction. This is the only piece on the board that can jump another piece but captures are still the same...you must land on the same square as your opponent's piece.

The Bishop: The Bishops are placed next to the Knights. The tops of these pieces are usually shaped like a hat worn by a bishop (imagine that!). The Bishops move similar to the Rooks since can move any number of spaces, but they only move diagonally as opposed to along the rows/columns like the Rooks move. The Bishops can't jump other pieces either but can capture them by landing on the same square as the opponent's piece.

The King: Your King is the tallest piece on the board and goes next to bishop on your right side. The King moves in any direction but only one space at a time, making him a rather weak piece in terms of movement, but still the most powerful piece on the board by at least some measure since capturing the King is how the game is won.

The Queen: The Queen is placed next to the King and if the board has been setup correctly, she should be on her own color. Arguably the most powerful piece on the board (at least in terms of movement), the Queen can move in any direction and as many places as you choose. Of course, like the other pieces, the Queen can't jump other pieces, so her power is limited.

When the board is setup properly, both sides should mirror each other. Meaning your queen should be directly across your opponent's queen, your king across from their king, and so on down the board.

Prepare to Do Battle - Basic Gameplay

The game is played by each player taking alternating turns and each player must make a turn...you can't "pass". The white pieces always make the first move. The goal is to put your opponent in "checkmate", meaning that there's no place for the King to move and the opponent can't position any other pieces in a way that keeps you from capturing the King. Leading up to putting your opponent in checkmate, you'll want to strategically move your pieces throughout the game board while capturing as many of your opponent's pieces as possible to weaken them. Of course, at the same time, you'll need to keep your king from being captured.

Chess may take a while to master, but it is a game worth learning. This is just a broad overview of the game, as you become more experienced, you'll learn more advanced strategies, terminology and sequences of moves you can make to baffle your opponent and make winning even easier.

You Don't Have To Be A Programmer To Fix Computer Errors

Nothing is more frustrating than a computer that constantly freezes up, hangs and crashes on you at the worst possible times!

I have had my share of frustrating run-ins with my own PC, and have threatened it with swift and painful death many times whenever it gave me errors...but for some reason that never seemed to work!

I now know of a far easier way to solve computer error problems...run a top rated registry cleaner scan on your system at least once a week...

It doesn't matter what version of Windows you are running, sooner or later you will most likely get an error of some kind (there are thousands to choose from) and you'll start searching for ways to eliminate that error as quickly as possible!

Some of the more common errors I have had to deal with over the years are: windows freezes, long program hang times, computer crashes (very annoying!), runtime errors, fatal errors (sounds serious), blue screen of death, and others...

Just imagine trying to troubleshoot your Windows operating system by yourself, and figuring out which program, entry, corrupted registry key, etc... is actually 'causing' the error to begin with...

That task might not sound daunting for a Microsoft programmer, but for the 'normal' person, there are better things to do with your time (like watching grass grow)

So you have the choice then, of paying a computer technician $60-??? dollars to come out to your house and fix your computer errors and problems for you...or you can download a highly effective 'registry cleaner' and run a scan on your computer by pushing one button.

Registry cleaners are actually designed (by computer programmers) to eliminate errors, clean, defragment and compress your windows registry (a location within Windows where all critical data about every program loaded on your computer is stored).

Most registry cleaners will find problems and fix them, but some of the better programs will allow you to schedule when they should run automatically (set it up and forget about it). And they will allow you to control and manage startup programs, set system restore points in case anything bad happens, and actually show you where specific problems were found and what kind of PC errors they are.

There are a few things each person who is serious about keeping their computer running as fast as the day they brought it home should have in their "maintenance arsenal":

* A good registry cleaner

* A good spyware remover

* A good anti virus program

* A good anti spam program

Having these tools can and WILL save you a lot of grief!

Who wants their identity to be stolen because of spyware running on their system? Who wants all their valuable data corrupted and unuseable because of a virus that slipped through and infected your entire system? Who wants to put up with a slow computer that gives you errors every time you turn it on? Not me!

The investment in a good registry cleaner can do the most good for your computer, as it will allow you to concentrate on actually using your PC instead of spending time reinstalling windows in an attempt to eliminate errors and make your computer faster.

I have spent countless hours (days even) doing exactly that in the past, because I was so disgusted with my PC I just couldn't take it anymore...and I remember exactly how fun it was to reinstall 50+ windows programs and go through all those program settings to get them back to the way I liked them!

I find satisfaction in helping others to avoid wasting as much time as I did trying to fix computer errors...

Stripping Your World Of Warcraft Character Naked

Have fond memories of going around in games like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance or Neverwinter Nights naked, slaying rats or any other low-level creatures? Well, you can do the same thing - or you can just run around naked screaming about a magic missile for an hour or two in Stormwind. Not that I've done that, you know, but anyway!

Getting your World of Warcraft character naked just takes the basic knowledge of the game setup, and a few empty slots in your bag. If you don't have the empty slots, you can sell anything you don't need, or place items in the bank for retrieval later. You could also ask a friend to hold the items for you, if you're in a group, but be careful - you might never see those items again.

Open your backpack or bag (Hotkey B for your backpack, hotkey's F8 - F11 for other bags), and then open your character menu (Hotkey C). Left click once on a piece of your clothing that you wish to remove - pants, shirt, shoes, anything - and move your curser to an empty slot in your bag. Next to your curser should be a smaller image of your item - if not, you need to click again. Just left click the empty slot to place the item in your bag. Do that for every piece of clothing you have on you.

And tah-dah. You're naked. There's really not much to it - unless you want to look good while naked. Then there's something much more to this.

Your attractiveness depends on what race you are, and if you're male or female. Here's a low-down on how attractive your WoW character will be when he or she is actually naked.

Alliance


Night Elves


Hands down, the most attractive race of the Alliance, the Night Elves look great both clothed and naked. There's not too much to say about the naked male Night Elf, but the female has a slightly off body shape, and the ribs protruding not only don't fit with the stomach, but give the torso an awkward look. Still, you have to admit, the Night Elves can really get their dance on.

Humans


The humans aren't too bad looking, as long as you keep their clothes on. Both the female and male are a little on the - how you say, chunky side, and they do not wear flattering underwear. Not very appealing to the eye, but somehow guys who play women and dance naked in Goldshire still get stuff. Hey, we all have to make a living, right?

Dranei


The Dranei, one of the new races that came with the Burning Crusade expansion, are the ugliest Alliance race. No question about it. The men are wide and brutish, and the women - well, their legs are just disgusting. Although, while I have nothing good to say about the men, the women's facial features are rather attractive, in their own, blue way, and their bodies are much better sculpted then the gnomes or dwarves.

Dwarves


The dwarves are short-ish, squat creatures that aren't at all attractive or appealing to the eye. Most male dwarves have long beards which take away from the rest of their face, and the choices for women's facial structure or hair aren't very nice at all.

Gnomes


I have the same complaint about the gnomes as the dwarves - their shorter, though, and even less attractive naked. No one, and trust me, no one, wants to see a naked gnome dance. I'll leave it at that.

Horde


Blood Elves


A beautiful race! The blood elves were the other race to come with the expansion, and they are the most attractive race in the entire game, no questions asked. Slim, sleek bodies framed by a smooth, visually appealing face and surprisingly nice hair styles. Their jump is smooth and fluent, with a graceful landing style, and they look the best naked, by far.

All Other Horde Races


These races aren't something that you want to see naked. The Undead, Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls should never take their clothes off, ever.

Ever.

Finding The Most Affordable Cellular Phone

Market competition is the consumer's best friend; and nowhere is that competition more thriving then in the world of cell phones. What was once a luxury item that came at a great price, is now a standard item carried by people everywhere and available at an affordable price. As the cellular phone morphed from bulky to streamline, the competition waged over design, features, services, and price; and today's cell phone customers can take advantage of their many options in order to find an affordable cellular phone.

Finding an affordable cellular phone is far easier than it ever was based upon the variety of companies that have now thrown their hat into the ring to provide cellular service. In many cases, if you are already a customer with a cell phone company, your service allows you to upgrade your phone when you extend your contract. An affordable cellular phone often comes at this time of renewal; you may have the ability to choose from a number of low priced – and even free – phones.

But in the game of finding the most affordable cellular phone, it is important to shop around; use your leverage as a customer to get the best deal you possibly can. New phone deals come out every day as companies try to compete to bolster their customer base. Look for sales and year end discounts; cell phone models change from year to year – if you can purchase the last of a year's model you will often receive it at a wonderful price.

Most importantly, finding an affordable cellular phone comes with patience; do your research on the cell phone models that have received the highest customer ratings and offer the most features for the price. Affordability takes into account the value you get for your money so be sure that you are not simply trading price for quality.

The cell phone promises to be the communications device of the future; keeping us in contact with each other at the touch of a button. And as models and features change so will prices. In order to find the most affordable cellular phone for our particular situation, it is necessary to stay educated on changing technology and what that means to our wallets.

3G Phones – Riding the Modern Waves

The twenty-first century has played witness to a steady development in the field of technology over the years. The dizzy pace at which mobile phone manufacturers are vying to catch up with the latest technology has served one special purpose – it has made life easier for human beings. From monochrome display phones to colour display phones, and further on to the ultra smart 3G phones, the mobile phone industry has seen it all. 3G phones, as the name indicates are christened so to represent third generation mobile phones. 3G phones are the latest addition to the progressive bandwagon, and it has made quite an impression in the mobile market as well as in the consumers' minds.

The present day phone market is overflown with a number of 3G mobile phones in the likes of the Nokia N75, the Nokia N76, the Nokia N77, and so forth. The 3G revolution has taken communication technology of mobile phones to a hitherto conquered level. Having smoothly evolved from the obsolete 2G level of communication system, the 3G technology ensures a horde of benefits at the hands of the users. The 3G technology has made a paradigm shift from simple voice communication to the next level of the Internet, fax, video conferencing, and so on. Moreover, users stand at the definite advantage of staying in touch with the rest of the world even when they are out of their geographic region through descent roaming and a broad bandwidth capacity. 3G enabled phones come packed with most of the known connectivity features like Bluetooth, EDGE, GPRS, and Infra Red thereby enhancing the communication capability of the phones.

3G technology has experienced considerable success since its introduction, and mobile phone manufacturers have already gone one step ahead by working on its up gradation through the Quad Band technology. Life never gives out a dull moment when technology is the watchword of the day.

How to Put Music on the PSP

So you are wondering how to put music on the PSP? Well, really it is quite simple. Obviously, the first thing we need is a PSP and a computer. In addition to this we need a mini USB cable and some MP3 files would help.

Now I'm assuming that you are unfamiliar with your new PSP Otherwise you would already know how to put music on the PSP. Firstly, we need to scroll to system settings. Here, we click on the "X" button, then we scroll down to the "format memory stick", and once again, click "X". This will bring up a prompt which asks you "do you want to format the memory stick?" here we choose "yes" and click "X". Now why do we do this you ask? Well, when we format our memory stick the PSP automatically creates the folders that we need to play music, games and movies.

The one other thing we might want to consider is the size of our memory stick. Most PSP come with a standard 32 MB memory stick, which is really only big enough to hold six or seven songs of decent quality. Your best option is to buy a larger memory stick. They now come in a variety of sizes ranging from 32 MB all the way up to 4 GB, and obviously the bigger your memory stick the more music you can place on it.

Now to get the music onto the PSP, all we have to do is plug our mini USB cord into our PSP, and then plug the other end into the computer. Once we do this we simply need to scroll to the USB connection on our PSP and click "X". This will prompt a window to open up on your computer which will ask what you want Windows to do, from here we choose "open folder to view files using window explorer".

This will open a new window which will contain the contents of your memory stick. In this window you should see a folder named "PSP", we need to double-click on this. This will of course open the folder and from here you should see another folder named "MUSIC". This is where we place our music. Now depending on what firmware version you are running on your PSP, you could put MP3 in there or if you are running at a later firmware version you could put MP3 in addition to WMV in the folder.

All you have to do from here is copy and paste your selected music in to that folder. Once you have done this simply press circle on your PSP to exit the USB connection, and then navigate to the music option on your xmb menu on the PSP, from here you click "X". Now you can select the songs you want to listen to, and this is how to put music on the PSP.

Troubleshooting DELL E173FPB LCD Monitor with power blink symptom is quite easy if you know the right procedure to test it. There are two sections in the monitor that can cause power to blink. It is either primary or secondary section or even sometimes both sections can be faulty. So to isolate as which section is giving problem. I used an automobile 12 volt light bulb (brake light) and connect it between the 12 volt supply line and cold ground with the fuse removed. If the bulb still blink chances is very high the power primary section have problem.

Do not overlook the other voltages line as well such as the 3.3 and 5 volts. If any components shorted that gets the supply from the 5 and 3.3 volts, the power also may blink. If the 12 volts bulb lights up we can assume that the power supply is working fine and something shorted further down the line that makes the power supply to blink. If the bulb lights and you continue to check the power section, it will be going to waste your time. You should now concentrate on the secondary section circuit such as the four transistors C5707 that drive the high voltage transformer in the inverter board.

Just think these transistors like horizontal output transistor (HOT) in the CRT monitor that drive the flyback transformer where it worked so hard and chances for it to breakdown is very high. Checking the four transistors off board found one of them have a shorted reading with an ohmmeter.. This transistor can get faulty by itself or it could be some others components that caused it to develop a short circuit such as a defective high voltage transformer but all of the four high voltage transformers checked to be okay with ringer and ohmmeter test.

Now, here is the secret that I'm going to reveal. If you just replace the defective transistor only, chances is very high the transistor or another C5707 transistor will breakdown again. Usually what a technician does is to test the other transistors with either an analog or digital meter. If you use both meters to test the transistors then you have missed out on the faulty transistor because both meters won't reveal to you the hfe reading of the transistors. Only some digital meters have the hfe checking feature. In other words, you have to use test the hfe reading of a transistor. Although you can replace the other three transistors directly, why not we do some detective work to find the cause of the problem?

Using the Peak electronic atlas component analyzer, I could clearly see the different between a good and a bad transistor. A good C5707 transistor has hfe reading from 320 to about 390 but the bad one reads 467! The other two C5707 transistors have reading about 350. In the above case only two C5707 transistors were replaced and you save the other two. I had burn in test this LCD monitor for many days and it worked perfectly fine.

Conclusion- Whether you repair the DELL E173FPB LCD Monitor or any other model such as the E172FPB or E171FPB, basically the testing method is the same. You could also use this testing procedure on other brand of LCD Monitor too.
