Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTracking Error Analysis of a Rotation-Elevation Mode HeliostatOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanFor the past few years, great efforts have been done in improving the tracking accuracy of a newly proposed rotation-elevation tracking mode heliostat. A special simulation program has been developed to systematically analyze the image movement and to find out the error of the parameters. In the simulation program, ray-tracing method was applied to work out the central point position … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMMON FRAMEWORK: A HYBRID APPROACH TO INTEGRATE CROSS-PLATFORM COMPONENTS IN MOBILE APPLICATIONJoachim Perchat, Mikael Desertot, Sylvain LecomteThere is a multitude of mobile OS: iOS android, Windows Phone 8 and each OS provides its own standards and tools. This heterogeneity in the mobile domain forces developers to implement an application for each mobile platform. To achieve that, developers need to master several languages (Java, Objective-C...). They also need to have several devices at their disposal (PC, Mac, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 22 Jul 2014 · 8,947 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREPRESENTING MARKOV CHAINS WITH TRANSITION DIAGRAMSFarida KachapovaStochastic processes have many useful applications and are taught in several university programmes. Students often encounter difficulties in learning stochastic processes and Markov chains, in particular. In this article we describe a teaching strategy that uses transition diagrams to represent a Markov chain and to re-define properties of its states in simple terms of directed graphs. This strategy utilises the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 May 2013 · 7,534 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBenders' Decomposition Based Heuristics for Large-Scale Dynamic Quadratic Assignment ProblemsSirirat Muenvanichakul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP) is NP hard problem. Benders decomposition based heuristics method is applied to the equivalent mixed-integer linear programming problem of the original DQAP. Approach: Approximate Benders Decomposition (ABD) generates the ensemble of a subset of feasible layout for Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) to determine the sub-optimal optimal solution. A Trust-Region Constraint (TRC) for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,681 accessesView PDF Cite
