Analysis of particulate behavior in porous media
(
Shanghai University Press
, 2008 , Article)
In this work, we analyze the behavior of the particle phase in the flow of a particle-laden mixture through a porous medium. An attempt is made to model the diffusion and dispersion processes, and to quantify the deviation ...
Voltage stability evaluation of real power transmission system using singular value decomposition technique
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
Voltage stability is an important factor that needs to be taken into consideration during the planning and operation of power systems in order to avoid voltage collapse and subsequently partial or full system blackout. ...

As the number of mobile phone users is growing, purchasing products and services using mobile phones and other mobile devices are also increasing. The purpose of this study was to provide the status of mobile-commerce in ...
The influence of attraction on internet banking: An extension to the trust-relationship commitment model
(
Emerald Group Publishing Limited
, 2006 , Article)
Purpose - This research in this paper aims to investigate and extend the trust-relationship commitment model to an internet banking setting by adding attraction as a new factor. Design/methodology/approach - The paper shows ...
Fuzzy system applications for identification of weak buses in power systems
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2002 , Article)
In this paper a simple new algorit hm for identifying the weak buses in a power system for voltage stability study is presented. The proposed algorithm is based on fuzzy set theory. Two membership functions, one for voltage ...
Iterative learning control for variable frequency drives
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are subject to various types of disturbances especially cyclical ones. These periodic disturbances are difficult to compensate by conventional controllers. Repetitive control can only ...
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 ...
A review of problem solving capabilities in lean process management
(
Science Publications
, 2008 , Article)
Human factor plays an important role in ensuring lean process management to be successful and provides good proposition for the success of the organization in the long run. One of the main elements of people is their problem ...
Incidence, severity and preventability of medication-related visits to the emergency department: A prospective study
(
Canadian Medical Association
, 2008 , Article)
Background: Medication-related visits to the emergency department are an important but poorly understood phenomenon. We sought to evaluate the frequency, severity and preventability of drug-related visits to the emergency ...
Modeling of mass transport of aqueous solutions of multi-solute organics through reverse osmosis membranes in case of solute–membrane affinity: Part 1. Model development and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
A two-dimensional mathematical model is developed for transport of multi-solute liquid (aqueous) solutions through reverse osmosis membranes in which strong affinity may exist between the membrane polymer and the solutes. ...
