Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
An efficient technique for finding the eigenvalues of fourth-order Sturm–Liouville problems
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, we will develop a numerical technique for finding the eigenvalues of fourth-order non-singular Sturm–Liouville problems. We used the variational iteration methods as a basis for this technique. Numerical ...
Critical success factors for TQM implementation and their impact on performance of SMEs
(
Emerald Group Publishing Limited
, 2009 , Article)
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical success factors of TQM implementation, to evaluate their impact on the primary measures as expressed by the operational performance and the secondary ...
Lean behavior in implementing lean process management
(
INSInet Publication
, 2009 , Article)
Lean is one of the popular concept has been practiced in most company. However, there are a lot of companies who implement lean are not realized whether lean level of company is improve or relegate. Thus, it is important ...
Complex-impedance response of an Ag/TeO2-V2O5/Ag structure
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
The ac conductivity of glass samples of composition 50 mol% TeO2 and 50 mol% V2O5 has been analyzed. The samples were prepared by the usual melt-quench method. The electrical conductance and capacitance were measured over ...
Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
The modified homotopy perturbation method for solving strongly nonlinear oscillators
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper we propose a reliable algorithm for the solution of nonlinear oscillators. Our algorithm is based upon the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), Laplace transforms, and Padé approximants. This modified homotopy ...
Developing Engineering Learning Objects Online Portal with LabVIEW and an Open Source Web Content Management System
(
ASEE
, 2009 , Article)
Learning objects (LOs) are independent chunks of knowledge normally used for instructional or learning purposes. LOs are normally reusable in the sense that they can be adopted and adapted for various learning and instructional ...
A Resolver Angle Estimator Based on Its Excitation Signal
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
A resolver generates a pair of signals proportional to the sine and cosine of the angular position of its shaft. A new low-cost method for converting the amplitudes of these sine/cosine transducer signals into a measure ...
High prevalence of the risk of overweight and overweight among Qatari children ages 9 through 11
(
Emerald
, 2009 , Article)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to estimate the prevalence of the risk of overweight and
overweight in Qatari children ages 9 through 11 and to compare the prevalence using CDC and IOTF
cut-offs.
