When different businesses want to integrate part of their processes and IT, they need to relate their enterprise architecture frameworks. An enterprise architecture framework (EAF) is a conceptual framework for describing the architecture of a business and its information technology (IT), and their alignment. In this paper we provide an integration among some well-known EAFs (Zachman, Four-doma...

We report the draft genome sequences of three enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) isolates that display the O157 serogroup but do not have the Shiga toxin genes (stx), which are characteristic of O157 enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). E. coli strain RN587/1 has the O157:H8 serotype and possesses the EAF plasmid characteristic of typical EPEC (J. B. Kaper, J. P. Nataro, and H. L. Mobley, Na...

Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare, benign condition affecting the respiratory mucosa and is generally characterized by a locally destructive growth. We present a case of a lady with a saddle nose deformity that had for many years been treated as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), of which saddle nose deformity is a classic feature. At the time of surgery, she was found to ...

Synopsis-In this research, possible usage of EAF dust on cement is investigated. Therefore, effects of addition of different percentages of EAF dust on the most important properties of cement such as hydration heat, water coefficient, viscosity, initial and final setting times, strength development and leachability of heavy metals were studied. Results showed that EAF dust alters the characteri...

sleep deprivation has negative effects on performance and resulted in elevating of mortality risk, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 30 hour sleep deprivation on serum levels of c-reactive protein, blood lactate, muscular strength and physiological factors of rast test in active students. the present study was a semi-experimental on...

This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...

The continuous improvement of EAF performance is crucial for the increase in productivity and cost effectiveness and to render an environmental friendly process. RHI supports these targets by providing a diverse range of refractory and process solutions. Chemical energy in practical operation by injection of gaseous media like oxygen and natural gas, and solid materials like carbon have become ...

Introducing distributed generation into a power system can lead to numerous benefits including technical, economic, environmental, etc. To attain these benefits, distributed generators with proper rating should be installed at suitable locations. Given the similar effects of distributed generators and capacitor banks on operation indices of a distribution system, simultaneous assignment of best...

The attainment function provides a description of the location of the distribution of a random non-dominated point set. This function can be estimated from experimental data via its empirical counterpart, the empirical attainment function (EAF). However, computation of the EAF in more than two dimensions is a non-trivial task. In this article, the problem of computing the empirical attainment f...
