Design and construction of underwater pipelines crossings

Design methodology for construction of asynchronous pipelines with Handel-C

CSP channels are proposed as a means of developing high-level, asynchronous pipeline architectures over and above existing synchronous logic. Channel-based design allows hardware systems to be designed and constructed using top-down software engineering methods, which have not previously been available within hardware-software co-design. The intention is to enhance support for future large-scal...

Sensor Network Architectures for Monitoring Underwater Pipelines

This paper develops and compares different sensor network architecture designs that can be used for monitoring underwater pipeline infrastructures. These architectures are underwater wired sensor networks, underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks, RF (radio frequency) wireless sensor networks, integrated wired/acoustic wireless sensor networks, and integrated wired/RF wireless sensor networ...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
