Commands and operations are runnable, independent units of work withinVertiGIS Studio Web. Commands and operations act as global functions which can beexecuted from any component or service.
Commands and operations have one key difference. Commands execute behavior that can have effects on the application, while operations produce outputs which can be passed to commands. Commands and operations can be run sequentially in what's called a "command chain" to enable complex behavior.
One thing that makes commands and operations so powerful is that built in components have properties in the app config which take them as values. They power everything from basic components like the IWTM, to advanced functionality like the results list. This allows built-in component's internal behavior to be configured with different commands and operations.
VertiGIS Studio Workflow can allow for the creation of completely customized behavior without writing custom code. VertiGIS Studio Web has a special command, workflow.run, which allows you to run workflows anywhere you would run a command or operation. Using workflow, you can take custom behavior in VertiGIS Studio Web further without having to write custom code.
Command chains are arrays of commands and operations which are executed sequentially. The output of previous operations is passed along the chain to future operations and commands, allowing for complex input dependent behavior.
If you do not pass explicit arguments, then implicit arguments will be passed to the command or operation. Implicit arguments come from the context that a command or operation is running in, or from a previous operation in the command chain
App config properties that accept a command or operation can take a single operation or they can take a command chain. Command chains are arrays of commands and operations which are executed sequentially. The output of previous operations is passed along the chain to future operations, allowing for complex chains of behavior.
Since these commands and operations are running from the context of a component, the first command or operation will receive the relevant feature as its input. If the property is a command chain, the next step in line will receive one of two possible inputs.
The action command chain of save-features-to-csv demonstrates how an operation can pass its output to the next command or operation in the list. In this case, it's passing the CSV content to system.download-file.
tasks.identify does not have any named arguments defined, so it will take arguments passed into it from its current context. Since this chain is run on a map click, the context argument passed in has the shape:
highlights.add-focus and results.display both take a Features type input, so the output of tasks.identify will work nicely. highlights.add-focus is immediately after tasks.identify, so it receives the output of identify. Since highlights.add-focus is a command, it does not produce any output. Therefore, results.display will receive the output of the last operation, tasks.identify. In this way, you can pass the output of an operation to multiple commands.
The second behavior in this application is a map.zoom-to-initial-viewpoint command on the I Want To Menu. This command takes Maps type argument. The argument property in the app config supplies an array of maps by referencing the default map with an Item URI. Item URIs are a way of referencing other items within the app config.
Today, theirs is a role which has become more senior and strategic, instrumental and influential. As a key internal and external connector, they are likely to be fully embedded at key decision making tables, advising board members and dealing directly with c-level executives.
To help spotlight the ever evolving forces powering this multi-layered logistical tapestry we have spoken with supply chain leaders from different industries to identify the capabilities needed to thrive in this fast-changing landscape.
Even before the pandemic took root, the supply chain function was already undergoing sweeping changes. As my colleague, Gianluca Bianchi, has pointed out, chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) and their colleagues have in recent years had to contend with a multitude of market disruptors and a fiercer spotlight on their activities and results, from both inside and outside their organisations.
Being elevated to the management board also means adapting to the ebb and flow of debate at this more senior rank, not to mention the individual characteristics of fellow management board members. Integrating with them and working in sync should be an early priority. When they are coming in from an outside role in particular they should ask themselves whether they will be a good fit with the CEO and the management board.
A key theme that emerged from our conversations with supply chain leaders is the sheer pressure on their diaries. As the complexity of the CSCO role has increased, managing time has been cited as one of the biggest challenges, especially carving out sufficient space to think and reflect on the issues that really matter.
Ringfencing the necessary space to do this, however, is not always easy. For example, CSCOs may need to have to invest more than anticipated time in building and establishing good relationships with senior colleagues. The CEO. The chair. The senior independent director. The head of the audit committee. The executive team peers. All of these relationships need to be cultivated. And there are always demands and requests, meetings and engagements, which ensure that no two days are the same.
This is a particularly pertinent challenge as boards are now increasingly aware of their importance in building a more sustainable and competitive business, and anticipating and facing the rise of frequent and fast changing external risks. As a result, the best CSCOs have pivoted into a new position of influence to connect across the function, with CEO and the board.
Vikram Agarwal, the chief operations officer at French food company, Danone, says that one of the very first priorities should be to identify the business growth pressure points from the regional/ category business leaders. Is it about supply? Or service? Or the cost of goods sold? Or cash/ working capital? Or all of them?
Our recent survey of sustainability leaders, for example, found that it has become a core strategic consideration and direction for businesses. But while more than 50% of them said sustainability goals are at least quite embedded in their supply chain, less than 50% said it was easy to achieve good outcomes when interacting with their supply chain counterparts.
Another business essential is the implementation of effective succession plans for key leadership roles. One of the principal risks that any company faces is a failure to attract and retain the talent they need as this could put in jeopardy their ability to carry out its strategy or respond to new competitive threats.
Given the intense economic and geopolitical turbulence which continues to ricochet around us, it is difficult to predict with some certainty how the future will develop, both for CSCOs and business more broadly. However, there are some fundamentals which are likely to remain unchanged. Planning and optimising resources, for example. Using technology to drive efficiencies is another. Sourcing raw materials and identifying the best distribution channels will also always loom large.
With this in mind, perhaps future CSCOs will require more direct knowledge of data and analytics, for example, as opposed to experience of working in plants and logistics. Such adjustments underline why the evolution of the CSCO role remains an ongoing process. But amidst this churn and change, supply chains will always remain core to the success of any business.
Military Sealift Command is the leading provider of ocean transportation for the Navy and the Department of Defense, operating approximately 125 ships daily around the world. MSC ships sustain our warfighting forces and deliver specialized maritime services in support of national security objectives in peace and war. The MSC commander is located at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Virginia. MSC reports through four distinct and separate chains of command:
Does anyone know of a command-line (non-GUI) tool like SCWRL that will optimize the side-chains of a protein structure, but allow you to somehow specify that you want not the most optimal rotamer, but rather the 2nd or 3rd or 4th most optimal rotamer? My system is a static system, but I need to look at the effects of changing a rotamer in several hundred proteins.
I know this can be done in Chimera, it will give you a list of rotamers and their frequency, but I need a command-line tool since it will be part of a larger script that will be used on 100s of files (so I can't just do it manually).
What do you mean by "rotamer" here from the perspective of protein structures ? Is it same as per the definition here _isomerism ? If your answer is YES, my answer is valid. You can generate conformers using CRANKITE.
Yes, I am using the same definition of "rotamer," but no, your answer is not valid because I used the word "optimal" several times and cited SCWRL and Chimera to make it clear that I am not looking for random sampling (CRANKITE), I am looking for "optimal"/frequent rotamers (SCWRL/Rotamer libraries).
I found it a bit difficult to learn and use for protein designing purpose, and finally abandoned it in favor of some other utility at it keeps on crashing for a particular type of protein complex. I hope a simple functionality like single amino acid rotamer optimization would run flawlessly. Have a quick glance at the manual HERE
Since I asked this question I found a useful tool on the PyMOL wiki called Rotamer Toggle. It uses the Dunbrack rotamer library. It may not be the most user-friendly, but I think it's a good programmatic way to handle this problem.
