Abstract: XBRL is the latest technology used in processing accounting information. Elements in XBRL are facts which may be reported about a business activity. Element names are the character strings which uniquely identify each element. This paper examines the existing rules on element naming. With extensive analysis of current practices for XBRL element naming in the foreign and Chinese taxonomies, several alternative approaches are set out. The considerations are proposed to improve the standardization of taxonomy creation.

Abstract: This research highlights the constructive features of Juniperus thurifera timber visible in the Western Mediterranean (from the island of Sardinia to Morocco). The use of this material is above all related to vernacular and traditional architecture, in the coastal areas as well as in the interior of the analyzed countries. An initial taxonomy of its use presents us with the issue of understanding the main structural performance of this type of timber, focusing in particular on its structural use and behavior. The results, visible throughout the research, are related to the resistance of the timber and its performance. On the other hand, this raw material is valued in vernacular architecture because of its strength when exposed to sea water or harsh weather conditions. Juniper beams and pillars are the most frequent solutions, but the use of branches and roots is also common, as the research demonstrates. In this framework, the text underlines the results of the research based on a geographical survey of juniper as a construction material, and on the first attempts to study its mechanical performance.

Abstract: XBRL taxonomy is the latest technology applied to process accounting information at present. The financial elements determination and formalization are the foundation of the XBRL taxonomy. In this paper, the process of the elements generation is analyzed and a semi-automatic generation model of elements is proposed. By validation results show that this model can reduce the workload and error rate of element generation, improve the quality of taxonomy and lay a good foundation for XBRL application.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new approach for implementation of a marketing plan which is illustrated by using a case study of Nowdar Company selling and distributing profiles produced from pre-painted galvanized coils used in constructions. By using marketing plan which details the necessary actions to achieve one or more marketing objectives, firms will be able to achieve their goals faster and with less frustration. The analysis for this company is performed by using a taxonomy method. The presented methodology facilitates both the selection and the structuring of administrative departments of the company. This can help the managers and leaves time for important tasks such as the development of real marketing plans responding to detected developments. According to the investigations, it was indicated that from the year 2006 to 2008, both the profit and the number of customers had been decreased considerably. The paper proposes four levels of barriers to an effective marketing plan, relating to (i) project manager, (ii) the marketing way the company uses, (iii) the amount of commission which is given to the marketers, and (iv) the contracts between the company and the product installers. The paper may be beneficial for all of the enterprises wish for implementing business planning, marketing planning, etc. It may be of high value to researchers in the marketing field and to practitioners involved with planning and managing the market in the organizations. It gives valuable information and guidelines that will help the leaders and the senior managers to accomplish marketing planning through their organization and to reach their desired goals successfully.

Abstract: A Gram-positive, strictly aerobic and moderately halophilic bacterial strain HSD was obtained from the sea water sample collected from International Sea Water Bathing Place in Weihai, a city on the shore of the Yellow Sea. Strain HSD was bacillus. The optimum growth temperature was 32~37°C and the optimum pH was 6.0~9.0. It could grow well at 100 g•L-1 salt mass concentration. The G+C mole fraction of its genomic DNA was 37.5%. 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated a close relationship to Alkalibacillus halophilus (DQ359731) with similarity of 99%. However, they had obvious difference in whole-cell main fatty acid components, cell size, cell morphology, motility, oxidase, gelatine liquefication, nitrate reduction, NaCl tolerance range, pH tolerance range, G+C mole fraction, sole carbon source, sole nitrogen source, antibiotic sensitivity and a source of the strain isolation. Comparing of these taxonomic characters of strain HSD with those of other type strains of the genus Alkalibacillus, the differences were more obvious. In view of multiple identification results, it was proposed that strain HSD was classified as the type strain of a new species of the genus Alkalibacillus under the name Alkalibacillus huanghaiensis sp.nov..

Abstract: A Gram-positive, strictly aerobic, spore-bearing and moderately halophilic bacterial strain HNPHT was obtained from the sea mud sample collected from Jinhaitan Park in Weihai, a city on the shore of the Yellow Sea. Strain HNPHT was bacillus. The optimum growth temperature was 30-36°C and the optimum pH was 6.5-9.5. It could grow well at 5-20% salt concentration. The G+C content of its genomic DNA was 37.0%. 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated a close relationship to Alkalibacillus halophilus (DQ359731) and Alkalibacillus salilacus (AY671976) with similarity of 99%. However, they had obvious difference in whole-cell main fatty acid components, cell size, cell morphology, colony color, motility, oxidase, gelatine liquification, nitrate reduction, NaCl tolerance range, pH tolerance range, G+C mole fraction, sole carbon source, sole nitrogen source, antibiotic sensitivity and a source of the strain isolation. A comparison of these taxonomic characters of strain HNPHT with those of some type strains of the genus Alkalibacillus indicated that the strain could be distinguished from A. halophilus and A. salilacus. In view of multiple identification results, it was proposed that strain HNPHT was classified as the type strain of a new species of the genus Alkalibacillus under the name Alkalibacillus weihaiensis sp. nov..

Abstract: Nowadays, robotics focused towards an interdisciplinary cooperation with other scientific fields, with the main goal of submitting solutions to improve the human life quality. This new orientation required the development of subsystems that differ from the common robotic components and match the new applications requisites. One of these preoccupations envisages the analysis and design of high performance actuators. The paper deals in this way with specific aspects characterizing the analysis and modelling of actuators with a serial elastic element.

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that feature detection and part segmentation are useful tools to generate compensated toolpaths for single point incremental forming leading to improvement in accuracy of manufactured parts. However, in most practical applications, features do not occur by themselves. Rather, they occur in combination with other features, and the presence of the neighbouring features influences the behaviour of the feature of interest. The final shape of the formed part depends on the interaction between the features. In this study, an attempt has been made to generate a complete taxonomy of common features relevant for incrementally formed parts. This taxonomy is then utilized to generate a matrix of feature interactions, and to classify them as feasible or not. From the subset of feasible feature interactions, a number of cases are analyzed to illustrate the effect of the interactions on the magnitude and nature of inaccuracies resulting in uncompensated parts. Strategies to use the knowledge of the interaction between these features to improve the accuracy of the manufactured parts are then discussed with the help of experimental case studies.
