akin type (asymmetric) reverse osmosis membranes undergo an irreversible osmotic dehydration upon coming into contact (skin side) with salt solutions. the extent of consequent changes (in appearance; decrease in linear dimension, water flux and salt rejection) are dependent on the salt concentration. these observations are correlated with the expected morphological changes taking place during d...

nowadays cmm machines are widely used in surface measurement and inspection. as inspection results from cmm machine are obtained by the means of measuring surfaces with direct contact, they are more precise than non-contact method (like optical measurement). however, cmm machines give more reliable and accurate results rather than non-contact methods but also these results come with error when ...

In many situations, owing to the complexity of flow, access to detailed representation of the flow field is impossible. Therefore, the capability of representing the essential physics through fewer degrees of freedom (model reduction) is of great value. For example, control systems rely on models through differential equations. The use of partial differential equations governing the flow is int...

This paper gives an account of various challenges that are faced in the design and development of complex control systems and software, within the automotive and aerospace domains, in particular, which are highly relevant to the incorporation of active mechanisms for dynamic systems. It also analyses what new recent advances are helping some of these being overcome in the research and engineeri...

The goal of the present study was to examine the impact of different data-communication (Data Comm) methods and use of multi-dimensional displays (2-D or 3-D) on pilot workload when Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) are employed. Eight pilots flew simulated enroute flights using an integrated (FANS-1A) or non-integrated (ACARS) Data Comm method. Pilots were also asked to rate the workload and a...

This article proposes specific extensions for WS-BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) to support versioning of processes and partner links. It introduces new activities and extends existing activities, including partner links, invoke, receive, import, and onmessage activities. It proposes version-related extensions to variables and introduces version handlers. The proposed extensions repr...

To improve the Routing the Enhanced Routing protocol mechanism is used in Mobile ad hoc networks. The EHRP provides efficient and reliable routing paths. EHRP is compatible which reduces routing overhead and route discovery delay of the mobile ad hoc networks. The shortest hierarchical path is calculated based on the cluster head of different Clusters using the Cluster Table addressing scheme w...

This paper gives a detailed analysis of different approaches to adapt a statistical machine translation system towards a target domain using small amounts of parallel in-domain data. Therefore, we investigate the differences between the approaches addressing adaptation on the two main steps of building a translation model: The candidate selection and the phrase scoring. For the latter step we c...

An addressing scheme is proposed, called a structured addressing scheme, that will provide a consistent addressing structure for a persistent environment. A structured address is the internal analogue of a qualiied name in a programming language (e.g. x.y.z) where each component of the address identiies a special kind of data item, called a memory, whose basic purpose is to hold/store possibly ...
