Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Approach to Modeling Software Safety in Safety-Critical SystemsBen Swarup Medikonda, Seetha Ramaiah PanchumarthySoftware for safety-critical systems has to deal with the hazards identified by safety analysis in order to make the system safe, risk-free and fail-safe. Software safety is a composite of many factors. Problem statement: Existing software quality models like McCall’s and Boehm’s and ISO 9126 were inadequate in addressing the software safety issues of real time safety-critical embedded systems. At … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproving Mechanical Characteristics of Inverter-induction Motor Drive SystemHussein Sarhan, Rateb IssaAn inverter-three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor drive system with improved mechanical characteristics is presented. The proposed system provides mechanical characteristics with constant maximum torque or increased maximum torque and reduced slip speed at frequencies below the nominal frequency. The control algorithm is based on the constant volts per hertz principle using two improvement techniques: keeping maximum torque constant or keeping magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordJBOOM: Java Based Object Oriented Model of Software Configuration ManagementBhavya Mehta, S. K. MuttooMost of the present Software Configuration Management systems deal with version and configurations in the form of files and directories, the need today is to have a Software Configuration Management system that handles versions and configurations directly in terms of functions (program module). A major objective of this research is the use of Java in the Software Configuration Management systems. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling the Distribution of Rainfall Intensity using Hourly DataSalisu Dan'azumi, Supiah Shamsudin, Azmi ArisProblem statement: Design of storm water best management practices to control runoff and water pollution can be achieved if a prior knowledge of the distribution of rainfall characteristics is known. Rainfall intensity, particularly in tropical climate, plays a major role in the design of runoff conveyance and erosion control systems. This study is aimed to explore the statistical distribution of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,001 accessesView PDFCite
