All interested groups, seeking compromise among business, population and nature interests, must participate in decision-making process, important for the city. The aim of the dissertation is evaluation of urban sustainability and urban development in the future with the help of multi-attribute decision making methods.

In current work problems and requirements for demand forecasting in commercial or manufacturing enterprises are analyzed and suitable forecasting algorithms are proposed. In enterprises with multidimensional and heterogeneous demand it is advisable to use different algorithms for different demand constituents and to readjust parameters used for forecasting. Existing forecasting packages are not practical as they are not integrated with commodities or materials supply orders management activities and business processes of enterprise. The orders management system is developed with forecasting component using adopted time series forecasting techniques such as moving average, exponential smoothing, double exponential smoothing, seasonal etc. These techniques ensure reliable forecasting results for different time series models: random, trend, seasonal and cycling, and are integrated with other business management activities. It is possible to calculate deviations of forecasted demand from factual values, to select algorithms giving minimal perсentage error, and to adjust algorithms parameters to changing demand. The system can help managers to choose forecasting algorithms and to adapt their parameters in the course of time. The system is designed using UML CASE tool and implemented in Microsoft .Net environment using MS SQL Server for data storage.

1. INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer is now the most common gynaecological cancer and the fourth the most common cancer among women in Lithuania. Referring to the epidemiological research ovarian cancer has the tendency to become more common: in 1990 there were 345 new cases of ovarian cancer and in 2004 - already 406 new cases. In 2004 ovarian cancer morbidity was 22.2/100 000 of inhabitants in Lithuania. Ovarian cancer is in the fifth position in the structure of death to cancer.Since there are no specific early symptoms and effective diagnostics of ovarian cancer so even 70 percent of diagnosed cases were stages III or IV. After the cytoreduction surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy with cysplatin / cyclophosphamide (CP) the survival among stage III cases was 10-20 percent and among stage IV cases not even 10 percent. In the structure of death to cancer ovarian cancer is in the sixth position - 16.1/100 000 of women. Since there is no effective prevention so the only way to prolong survival of patients is to optimise the treatment. It has been set that the optimal cytoreduction surgery could be performed only for about 50 percent of patients with stages III or IV ovarian cancer. As an alternative to conventional surgery for this group of patients the neoadjuvant chemotherapy - medical cytoreduction was applied. It could lead to the optimal conditions for cytoreduction surgery and further to prolongation of the survival. Referring to the literature the influence of neoadjuvant... [to full text]

Sketching is an important part of creativity process and is used in the design disciplines, concerned with making physical form: mechanical and civil engineering, graphic design, and architecture and physical planning. Almost all designers still begin the design process by sketching their ideas before transferring them to the computer. This helps designers to express nascent ideas fast and naturally and to speed up visual problem solving. Moreover, the importance of sketching in design has been recognized emphasizing that initial drawing allows creative freedom. The sketches represent a rough semblance and functionality of the system and can be essential to understanding the reasoning behind a design. Furthermore, sketching activity makes designers to interact with their sketches, examine all alternative possibilities and explore design solutions in their minds during drawing. This important part of design, which supports ambiguity, imprecision and incremental formalization of ideas as well as rapid exploration of alternatives, is still performed by engineers with the help of paper and pencil. Despite praxis and fondness of natural interface provided by paper, sketching on paper has its own limitations. The main disadvantage of sketching on paper is that you can easily draw the sketch, but editing and improving of design is more problematic. If designer wants to make changes in the sketch, usually he has to take another sheet of paper and basically redraw the sketch... [to full text]

Iki devyniolikto amžiaus devinto dešimtmečio pradžios kompiuterinė grafika buvo labai maža, specializuotas veiklos sfera. To priežastis buvo brangi techninė įranga ir mažas taikomųjų programų, kurios būtų ne brangios bei efektyvios, pasirinkimas. Tokių programų skaičius žymiai išaugo, kai pasirodė personaliniai kompiuteriai su vaizduokliais ir vartotojas galėjo tiesiogiai dirbti su grafiniais vaizdais. Nuo to laiko kompiuterinė grafika ir taškinių vaizdų apdorojimas labai stipriai patobulėjo. Tai tapo inžinerinių, informatikos, fizikos, medicinos bei biologijos mokslo šakų disciplinomis universitetuose. Viena iš sričių, kuri pažengė toliausiai šioje srityje yra kompiuterinis dizainas (CAD). Buvo pasiūlyta naudoti vektorinį duomenų formatą vietoje taškinių vaizdų, kadangi vektorinis formatas yra patogesnis ir tinkamesnis saugoti duomenims. Todėl atsirado būtinybė senus popierinius darbus, naudotus prieš pasirodant CAD sistemoms, paversti į vektorinį formatą. Pačioje pradžioje tai buvo atliekama rankiniu būdu, tačiau tobulinant taškinių vaizdų apdorojimo priemones buvo sukurti specializuoti įrankiai padedantys taškinius vaizdus versti į vektorinį formatą (vektorizuoti). Šių tezių tikslas yra sukurti bei patobulinti sistemą gebančią vektorizuoti taškinius vaizdus. Palyginti naudojamus algoritmus bei sistemos veikimą su panašiomis sistemomis. Šių tezių teorinėje dalyje yra detaliai aprašyti vektorizavimo procesą sudarantys veiksmai bei algoritmai. Projektinėje dalyje pateikti...

Then personal computers with built-in raster graphics displays popularized the use of graphics for user – computer interaction and as they become more affordable, an explosion of easy-to-use and inexpensive graphics-based applications soon followed. Since then, computer graphics and image processing have experienced vigorous growth, having been subject to interdisciplinary study and research in such fields as engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. One of the areas that have benefited a great deal was computer aided design (CAD). Several non-raster based graphics formats – vector formats – were introduced as more convenient and appropriate means of storage for CAD systems. It became necessary for print work produced before the appearance of CAD systems to be reinstated in electronic form. In the early days this work had to be done manually. Later, with the development of image processing, specialized tools were devised to tackle the problem of vectorization, or raster-to-vector conversion. The aim of this thesis is to improve vectorization system, and to compare vectorization results with similar systems. The main steps of raster data vectorization is discussed in this document. In project part of this thesis you will find the main... [to full text]
