With the proliferation of ontologies and their use in semantically-enabled applications, the issue of finding and repairing defects in ontologies has become increasingly important. Current work mostly targets debugging semantic defects in ontologies. In our work, we focus on another kind of severe defects, modeling defects, which require domain knowledge to detect and resolve. In particular, we debug the missing structural relations (is-a hierarchy) in a fundamental kind of ontologies, i.e. taxonomies. The context of our study is an ontology network consisting of several taxonomies networked by partial reference alignments. We use the ontology network as domain knowledge to detect the missing is-a relations in these ontologies. We also propose algorithms to generate possible repairing actions, rank missing is-a relations, recommend and execute repairing actions. Further, we discuss an implemented system RepOSE and experiments on ontologies of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative and the Finnish Ontology Library Service

Experimental studies of ionospheric irregularities and related plasma processes

Utah State University (USU) continued its program of measuring and interpreting electron density and its variations in a variety of ionospheric conditions with the Experimental Studies of Ionospheric Irregularities and Related Plasma Processes program. The program represented a nearly ten year effort to provide key measurements of electron density and its fluctuations using sounding rockets. The program also involved the joint interpretation of the results in terms of ionospheric processes. A complete campaign summary and a brief description of the major rocket campaigns are also included

Analysis Of Readiness For Isa (International Standard Auditing) Based In Audit Planning (Case Study At Local Public Accountant "X" In Surabaya)

The study is conducted to provide an analysis for readiness in the audit planning based on Indonesian SPAP (Professional Standard Public Accountant) 2011 (US GAAS version) and SPAP 2013 (ISA version). The urgency of changes for auditing standard SPAP in Indonesia requires the readiness of public accountant firm to adoption of ISA. Therefore, auditor requires to update the capability to perform audit planning as well as to keep competitive the public accountant must facilitate the work of high quality at a reasonable cost. To adopt ISA properly, public accountant firm must prepare to update their ability, to understand better the difference of audit planning before and after adopting ISA and also the analysis of the consequences when public accountant still does not adopt ISA in the audit assignment. In this study, researcher took the study case at Local Public Accountant X in Surabaya, Indonesia, for the audit period ended on December 31, 2013. This research is an applied research with an approach of the qualitative case study, using participant observation and interview with the audit team of Local Public Accountant X, trying to understand whether the public accountant is ready or not in adopting ISA-based audit planning. The study results the considerable efforts should be accomplished for ISA adoption readines

A history of the histories of econometrics.

Understanding the history of econometrics as a modern science also asks for understanding of the development of the image of science, which includes the history of philosophy of science and the history of economic methodology. Beside that philosophers of science need to be historically informed, historians of science need to be philosophical informed, which mean more precisely here that they need to be informed about the developments of the philosophical ideas about science. Corry's distinction between the body and image of knowledge does not only provide a framework to write histories of econometrics, but also to write a history of these histories. From its beginnings, econometricians have considered historical knowledge as reflexive knowledge useful to delineate their discipline.econometrics; philosophy of science; discipline
