Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChallenges of Agile Development and Implementation in a Developing Country: A Zambia Case StudyDouglas Kunda, Mwenge Mulenga, Muwanei Sinyinda, Victoria ChamaAgile development is a software development process that advocates adaptive planning, early delivery, evolutionary development and continuous betterment and supports rapid and flexible response to change. The purpose of Agile development is minimize project failure through customer interactions and responding to change. However, Agile development is vulnerable to failure because of a number of factors and these factors can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 6 Sep 2017 · 9,442 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Parameters Influencing the Behavior of Knee Braced Steel StructuresEdris Farokhi, Mehrdad GordiniIn Knee-Braced Frames (KBF), the brace is connected to the knee element rather than the beam-column joint. For reasons such as having sufficient lateral stiffness despite its adequate ductile behavior, the concentration of damage in the Double Knee-Braced structural elements and also ease of repair and replacement of these elements after an earthquake, this bracing system is preferred over conventional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 21 Sep 2015 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Investigation of Mode I Stress Intensity Factor Variations in Crack Front Using Finite Element MethodM. M. MirsayarOverall failure may occur in many engineering structures due to the initiation and growth of cracks. Stress intensity factors are extensively used to investigate crack growth in Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). In many cracked specimens, the stress singularity varies through the thickness and therefore, investigation of stress intensity factor variation in crack front and determination of its maximum value … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPersonality Traits and Exposure to Stressful Life Events Among Smokers and NonsmokersNataša Šimić, Arta Dodaj, Kristina SesarEarly studies supposed that personality traits and students’ life, which include brings many social and academic changes, may be relevant factors in initiation and maintenance of smoking. The aims of this study were to investigate differences in personality dimensions, as well as exposure to stressful life events among students’ smokers and nonsmokers and finally to examine the predictive contribution of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTOCHASTIC REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF A STANDBY SYSTEMMohammed A. HajeehMechanical systems deteriorate over time and do not perform according to their intended functions and eventually fail due to the failure of one or more their components or units. Failed components are either repaired or replaced depending of several factors such as cost, criticality, or reliability. Repair is perfect, minimal, or imperfect. This study assesses the performance of a standby … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2014 · 6,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROTOTYPE DESIGN SYSTEM FOR MOBILE WEB USING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION AT PARKING BUILDINGDerwin Suhartono, Chitra Patricia, Hendry Steven, KevinSeveral factors cause people forget things. They are retrieval failure, interference failure to store and motivated forgetting. So, it is considered to have tools in order to prevent those. This happens almost everywhere, including when the drivers forgot where their car has been parked. Furthermore, the increase of parking fee is also considerable. The purpose of this research is to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 7,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerioperative Care of Elderly Surgical PatientsAly SaberAdvancing age is characterized by functional impairment of the many regulatory processes that provide integration between organs and therefore, may lead failure to maintain homeostasis under conditions of physiological stress. There are two main factors helping to identify the high risk for surgery. The first relates to the type of surgery and the second to the scope of cardiopulmonary functional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 8,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Petri-Net Based Conceptual Model for Risk Prediction in Enterprise Resource Planning Acquisition Decisions for Small and Medium EnterprisesVijayakumar Bharathi, Dhanya Pramod, Ramakrishnan RamanThis study identifies and evaluates certain critical pitfalls in the acquisition phase of ERP adoption in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and develops a model for evaluating the risk of failure. On the acquisition stage a set of risks has been identified based on past research work and each of these risks have been explained through a set of well-defined … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Systems Development Knowledge Sharing-Organizational Justice, Physical Distance and Social InterdependenceMarzanah A. Jabar, Cheah Chee Yeong, Fatimah SidiProblem statement: Knowledge hoarding in Requirements Elicitation (RE) phase could lead to Information Systems Development (ISD) project failure. Many researchers have discussed important factors in knowledge sharing. Nevertheless, the success rate for ISD projects is low and there are other major factors for consideration. Approach: Review was conducted to identify potential gaps in existing literature and to explore new factors … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Equivalence Factors of a System with 2 Non-identical Mixed Lifetimes and Delayed TimeAbdelfattah Mustafa, Adel A. El-FaheemProblem statement: In reliability theory and operations research, there are many methods and techniques to improve the performance of a system. The aim of this study is to generalize reliability equivalence technique to apply it to a mixed failure lifetimes system f1 (t), f2 (t) with delayed time. Approach: We shall improve the system by using some reliability techniques: (i) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
