Many complex real-time applications involve combined scheduling of hard and soft real-time tasks. In this paper, we propose a combined scheduling algorithm, called Emergency Algorithm, for multiprocessor real-time systems. The primary goal of the algorithm is to maximize the schedulability of soft tasks without jeopardizing the schedulability of hard tasks. The algorithm has the inherent featur...

the conventional tunneling procedures for example drilling, charging, blasting, loading and supporting, are highly developed. new tunneling machines have recently come into operation and others are under construction or development. impactors are used in large numbers in the coal mining industry. face-heading machines are successfully used in new tunneling procedures in both soft and medium-har...

introduction: the lenticular process of the incus succumbs to necrosis in chronic otitis media. few researchers have addressed the issue of autograft incus preservation in the soft tissue of the tragus or mastoid cavity. nonetheless, preservation of the incus in this method during the second stage of ossiculoplasty is a subject that is still up for debate. this study was carried out to demonstr...

The operation of offshore wind farms is characterized by a complicated operational environment, long project cycle, and complex vessel traffic, which lead to safety hazards. To identify the key factors affecting farms, risk characteristics farm operations are analyzed based on comprehensive identification hazards assessment theory. A systematic fault tree analysis established. shows that induce...

An HIV infected hemophilia patient with huge inflammatory pseudotumor was in severe ill condition. The operation of right hip joint amputation was performed on the patient with perioperative infusion of coagulation factor VIII and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The pathological found that Inflammatory cell infiltration, formation of folliculus lymphaticus, muscular fiber breakage...

This paper explores the use of systems thinking in action research projects. It will describe two ‘real’ action research projects, where soft systems methodology was used by managers who introduced change in their own organizations. It elaborates how applying this methodology supported the application of action research. Both managers who used action research have successfully completed their d...

Lack of effective involvement of stakeholders is one of the main drawbacks of enterprise architecture initiatives. Ongoing attempts to overcome this involve using Collaboration Engineering to develop a collaboration process that enterprise architects can execute to facilitate collaborative sessions with stakeholders during architecture creation. However, a field study evaluation of this process...
