Systems engineering design of engineering education: A case of an embedded systems course
(
IEEE Education Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Systems and Cybernetics can be found elsewhere in natural and engineering sciences. Control systems methods (technical cybernetics) are the nerve of the industrial revolution; they have recently penetrated some social ...
Development and evaluation of open educational resources for enhancing engineering students' learning experience
(
IEEE Education Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The aim of this paper is to report on the development of control systems open educational resources. The paper reports on two control systems education software: 1) A LabVIEW based Control Systems Analysis Toolkit (CSAT) ...
A mediation model of task conflict in vertical dyads: Linking organizational culture, subordinate values, and subordinate outcomes
(
Emerald Group Publishing Limited
, 2012 , Article)
Purpose: The current study seeks to provide predictions for task conflict in supervisor-subordinate dyads and to test empirically the mediation effects of task conflict between organizational culture/subordinate values and ...
Fostering the Performance of Banks through Total Quality Management (TQM) Practices: A Bank Branches Perspective
(2012 , Article)
This article is mainly based on reviewing the available relevant literature of TQM and its implementation in the service sector organizations in general and banking industry in particular. It has been emphasized that banks ...
Yemeni banking system: Critical issues and future recommended strategies
(2012 , Article)
In the current changing and challenging business environment, banks have been gaining an increasing importance in paving the way for the development processes in any country.Banks, however, bridge the gap between individuals ...

Standing stocks and body size of deep-sea macrofauna: Predicting the baseline of 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
A composite database encompassing 6 benthic surveys from years 1983 to 2003 was constructed to evaluate the distribution of macrofaunal biomass in the deep Gulf of Mexico (GoM) prior to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ...
Meta-heuristics for aircraft arrival and departure scheduling on multiple runways
(
Institute of Industrial Engineers
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The problem of scheduling aircrafts on multiple runways can be modeled as an identical parallel machine scheduling with release times, target times and deadlines. To schedule arriving and departing aircrafts as close as ...
Heuristic algorithms for aircraft sequencing problem
(2012 , Conference Paper)
Delays in flights resulting in multi-billion-dollar losses are declared annually worldwide. Hence, an identification of air traffic policies that can reduce frequent and costly inefficiencies is needed. The problem of ...
Multiple-runway aircraft sequencing problems using mixed-integer programming
(
Institute of Industrial Engineers
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
We examine aircraft sequencing problems over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations, with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures. A mixed-integer programming ...
