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 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of the Transient Flow in Natural Gas Transmission Lines Using a Computational Fluid Dynamic MethodPedram Ghaseminejad, Nikan NoorbeheshtUntil now, almost all tools that are used to analyze gas transportation networks are based on steady flow conditions. Some design problems can be solved by the assumption of a steady state. However, some circumstances force us to use transient analyses, which commonly include changes in customer demand, the failure of a compressor station or gas pipeline ruptures. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2013 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Performance Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames with Various Ductility in Low Seismic ZoneN. Choopool, V. BoonyapinyoProblem statement: Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is at moderate risk for distant earthquake due to the ability of soft soil to amplify ground motion about 3-4 times although it locates in low seismic zone. In addition, before the enforcement of seismic loading for buildings in the Ministerial Law in 2007, many existing reinforced concrete buildings in Bangkok may have … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 9,499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of the Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Weibull DistributionAl Omari Mohammed Ahmed, Hadeel Salim Al-Kutubi, Noor Akma IbrahimProblem statement: The Weibull distribution has been widely used especially in the modeling of lifetime event data. It provides a statistical model which has a wide variety of applications in many areas, and the main advantage is its ability in the context of lifetime event, to provide reasonably accurate failure analysis and failure forecasts especially with extremely small samples. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormalized Model of Stabile Reengineering Information System Functional Elements (Business Processes)Zahi A. Abu SarhanThe process of reengineering the functional elements of management information system must presented as stable, in which all the kernel functional components of the management information system should be saved. Problem statements: There is no formalized models for stabile reengineering for the functional structure (functional elements) for various information systems types, therefore the process of reengineering is not stabile and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFour Dimensional (4-D) BioChemInfoPhysics Models of Cardiac Cellular and Sub-Cellular Vibrations (Oscillations)Kang Cheng, Chang-Hua ZouProblem statement: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) continued to be the leading cause of death. Failure or abnormal cardiac cellular or sub-cellular vibrations (oscillations) could lead failure or abnormal heart beats that could cause CVD. Understanding the mechanisms of the vibrations (oscillations) could help to prevent or to treat the diseases. Scientists have studied the mechanisms for more than 100 years. To … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2009 · 7,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding Information System Failures from the Complexity PerspectiveIndranil MukherjeeProblem Statement: Failure of computer based information systems had been a source of major concern in the modern technological era. Information System (IS) researchers have spent a significant amount of their time and effort in understanding the recurring failure of Information Systems. Studies in this regard have ranged from being primarily technical in their approach to those having a much … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMesoscopic Damage Based Model for Plane Concrete under Static and Dynamic LoadingsM. Labibzadeh, S. A. SadrnejadThe constitutive equations for the mechanical behavior of concrete capable of seeing damage effects or crack growth procedure under loading/unloading/reloading was developed upon microplane framework. The proposed damage formulation has been built on the basis of five fundamental types of stress/strain combinations, which essentially may occur on any of microplanes. Model verification under different loading/unloading/reloading stress/strain paths has been examined. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study between Various Topological Models of Base Stations in Cellular Mobile Radio CommunicationMohammed F. AlhunaityIn this paper, we analyze the different parameters of quality for the network models of base stations (BS) when the service messages have not a delay. Also, we compare between four topologies star, ring, radial ring and fully connected using identical quality of user service and conditional cost of one Erlang. Our results have been obtained for different probabilities of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Managed Federation of MQTT Brokers with Dynamic Topology ControlBruno Bevilaqua, Marco Aurélio SpohnThe Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is most used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The protocol implements the Publish/Subscribe (P/S) communication model. Publishers are entities providing data to a server (broker), and subscribers are those showing interest in such data. The standard MQTT scenario relies on a single broker, a potential bottleneck, and a single point of failure. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 11 · 18 Oct 2023 · 5,254 accessesView PDFCite
