This research focuses on the development of a rule-based intelligent equipment trouble-shooting and maintenance platform using JAVA Expert System Shell (JESS) technology. A prototype system is designed and developed combining rule-based knowledge system and inference engine to support real-time collaborative equipment maintenance across geographical boundary. The main modules of the system incl...

the infrastructure of the electricity grid and super grid system in the hitherto industrialized world was to a large extent built up in the decades following world war ii with a peak in investments around 1960-1980. this means that the flotilla of power transformers is now starting to reach projected lifetime of around 40 years. during the last couple of decades there has also been an ongoing d...

The cultivation of agricultural soils has until recently predominantly been achieved by inverting the soil using tools such as the plough. Soil tillage is one of the basic and important components of agricultural production technology. Various forms of tillage are practised throughout the world, ranging from the use of simple stick or jab to the sophisticated para-plough. The practices develope...

soil organic carbon is a key factor in productivity and quality of soil and environment particularly in semi arid regions. in this article, the role of farm soil organic matter management in soil and in land is discussed. the variability of soil organic carbon in drylands is mainly controlled by tillage and crop residue management. results of this study indicated that usage of correct tillage m...

Nowadays, according to the liberalization and development of Romanian energy market, asset management in energy industry require a new approach, because the assets of electrical companies need a specific maintenance strategy for all electrical equipment and also involve the decision-making process about the company assets.

Soils perform a number of essential functions affecting management goals. Soil functions were assessed by measuring physical, chemical, and biological properties in a regional assessment of conventional (CON) and alternative (ALT) management practices at eight sites within the Great Plains. The results, reported in accompanying papers, provide excellent data for assessing how management practic...
