Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout HelicoptersRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by one or more engine-driven rotors. In contrast with fixed-wing aircraft, this allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover and to fly forwards, backward and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft would … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2017 · 15,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProcess Intensification for Production and Recovery of Biological ProductsHamideh Vaghari, Maryam Eskandari, Vahideh Sobhani et al.Bioprocesses are important biological reactions which need several sophisticated methods and equipment to produce many novel and important compounds which some of them are traditionally produced by synthetic chemical reactions. In bioprocesses, the products are often produced in a dilute environment and finally they require a high purity. Because of that, downstream processes are usually included a large number of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2015 · 8,124 accessesView PDFCite
