Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleOntological Framework for Object-Oriented Analysis and DesignPrabodha Tilakaratna, Jayantha RajapakseRegardless of the large number of Object-Oriented (OO) modeling languages currently being used in the Information Systems (IS) modeling process, unavailability of an OO modeling language that can be used in both the analysis and design phases disintegrates the two phases. The problem is, such disintegration can lead to a high level of missing information in the real world system … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2012 · 8,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStudy of Object Oriented Analysis and Design ApproachSunil Kr Pandey, G. P. Singh, Dr. Vineet KansalProblem statement: Object and component technologies, rapidly maturing branches of information technology, have been becoming pervasive elements of systems development, especially the recently popular Internet applications and thus leading to increased complexity and at the same time broader range of applications. Approach: This needs to be understood in order to maximize its benefits and applications with consistent results. However, mainstream … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 9,916 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalysis and Design of Protocol for the Reconstruction of Computer Field Model Using Dron and PhotogrammetryBoris Tunjić, Andrija Bernik, Andrej ČepOne of the main challenges in aerial photogrammetry is the lack of standardization in the process of data integration, which is the first step in 3D reconstruction. This study analyses the influence of the distance from the camera to the subject of the recording, the influence of different overlap percentages in photography as well as the difference between the three … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 12 · 15 Nov 2023 · 5,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleOn Analysis and Design of the Enhanced Firewall for Intranet SecurityU. K. Singh, A. K. Ramani, N. S. ChaudhariIntranet often employ an Internet firewall to mitigate risks of system penetration, data theft, data destruction and other security breaches. Conventional Internet firewalls impose an overly simple inside vs. outside model of security that is incompatible with many business practices that require extending limited trust to external entities. Additionally, firewall security perimeters are somewhat weak: they provide no protection from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Analysis of a Helium-Assisted Hybrid Drone for Flight Time EnhancementGeronimo Macias, Kooktae LeeIn this study, a new design of a helium-assisted hybrid drone is proposed for flight time enhancement. As is widely known, most of the drones with a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) feature have a short operation time, limiting their capability to carry out sustainable operations for the given missions. Thus, with the clear goal of enhancing flight time, this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2022 · 6,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBeyond Accidents: A Back-Analysis on Conveyor Belt Injury for a Better Design for Maintenance OperationsAlberto Martinetti, Leo A.M. van Dongen, Raffaele RomanoThe conveyor belt represents one of the most commonly used methods of transporting bulk materials today. As highlighted multiple times in research, the moving parts are a critical issue causing accidents and injuries and several of these are strictly related to the opportunity to enter in working zones during maintenance activities, considered high-risk activity due to the nature of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 29 Dec 2016 · 8,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTrial Design and Analysis with Incomplete Paired DataMark Chang, Jing WangFor a clinical trial design with paired data, it often involves missing observations. In such a case, the data from the trial become a mixture of paired and unpaired data. A commonly used approach for the analysis of the trial data is to ignore the incomplete pairs. Such a treatment of missing data is not statistically efficient. We propose a … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 12 Nov 2015 · 7,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluating some Reliability Analysis Methodologies in Seismic DesignA. El Ghoulbzouri, A. Khamlichi, F. Lopez Almansa et al.Problem statement: Accounting for uncertainties that were present in geometric and material data of reinforced concrete buildings was performed in this study within the context of performance based seismic engineering design. Approach: Reliability of the expected performance state is assessed by using various methodologies based on finite element nonlinear static pushover analysis and specialized reliability software package.
