Assessing Quality of Web Based Systems
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an assessment model for Web-based systems in terms of non-functional properties of the system. The proposed model consists of two stages: (i) deriving quality metrics using goal-question-metric (GQM) ...
Contextual Preparation of Future Engineers: A non-Western Perspective
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
The advent of technological communication and modern travel has increased the likelihood that graduates from engineering programs will work in environments containing integrated cultures, customs, and languages. One may ...
On the estimation of reliabilty function in a Weibull lifetime distribution
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2008 , Article)
The estimation of the reliability function of the Weibull lifetime model is considered in the presence of uncertain prior information (not in the form of prior distribution) on the parameter of interest. This information ...
On the 'independence of trials-assumption' in geometric distribution
(
Taylor & Francis, Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
In this note, it is shown through an example that the assumption of the independence of Bernoulli trials in the geometric experiment may unexpectedly not be satisfied. The example can serve as a suitable and useful classroom ...
A New Low Cost Linear Resolver Converter
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Article)
A new low cost converter topology is proposed for sinusoidal position encoders. The converter enables determination of the angle from the sine and cosine signals of the encoder. When used with resolvers, the implementation ...
An open-loop technique for angle determination from position encoders
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
The paper presents a novel technique for the determination of the angle from low-frequency quadrature cosinusoidal signals produced, for example, by position sensors. In the presented scheme applied to a resolver, the ...
Numerical bifurcation of predator-prey fractional differential equations with a constant rate harvesting
(
IOP Publishing
, 2008 , Article)
In this article saddle and Hopf bifurcation points of predator-prey fractional differential equations system with a constant rate harvesting are investigated. The numerical results based on Grunwald-Letnikov discretization ...
A New One-Step Iterative Process for Common Fixed Points in Banach Spaces
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2008 , Article)
We introduce a new one-step iterative process and use it to approximate the common fixed points of two asymptotically nonexpansive mappings through some weak and strong convergence theorems. Our process is computationally ...
Modeling of the exhaust box assembly workshop using neural networks
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
The paper investigates the use of artificial neural networks in modeling and control of manufacturing systems. This approach models the various elements of a manufacturing system by the form of neural networks. The modeling ...
Geology and petrology of the Hormuz dolomite, Infra-Cambrian: Implications for the formation of the salt-cored Halul and Shraouh islands, Offshore, State of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
Geological investigations of the Halul and the Shraouh islands, offshore Qatar, indicate that most of their calcareous rocks, which display abundant stromatolitic bedding, belong to the Infra-Cambrian Hormuz Series. ...
