This research has been carried out to determine the marine propeller hydro-acoustic characteristics by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver in both uniform and non-uniform wake flow at different operating conditions Wake flow can cause changes in pressure fluctuation and gas effect on propeller noise spectrum. Noise is generated by the induced trailing vortex wake and induced pressure ...

The aim of this paper is to advance the presentation of low-level benchmarking results in the form of performance prooles, which present concisely on one or two pages the single-or multi-processor performance results. A proole consists of measured and derived performance parameters which characterise the performance of parallel computers. In order to achieve a more systematic approach to low-le...

Corporate environment changing with the advent of information technology and with diversified organization has been inquired to redesign to transform into an intelligent and innovative organization so that corporate vision and organizational goals in the subsystem of corporate are provided for being shared by multidisciplinary workers and other stakeholders, and corporate social responsibility ...

The statistics presented in Chapters 3 to 7 have aimed to summarise important characteristics at the facility level. The averages presented in the tables and charts have enabled comparisons of average facility performance across points in time, facility types, province, and agency. They have shown many interesting differences. We have attempted throughout the report to explain these differences...

To manage complexity and to shorten design cycles, industry is forced to look at system level methods for specification and design. These methods focus on the creation of executable system models describing a system in the earliestphases of the design process. They allow correctness properties and performance characteristics to be analysed before the system is actually being realised in terms o...

Embedded control is a key product technology differentiator for many of the Dutch high-tech industries. The strong increase in complexity of embedded control systems combined with the occurrence of late changes in control requirements, results in many timing performance problems showing up only during the integration phase. This results in extremely costly design iterations, severely threatenin...

Shortest-path computation is a frequent task in practice. Owing to ever-growing real-world graphs, there is a constant need for faster algorithms. In the course of time, a large number of techniques to heuristically speed up Dijkstra’s shortest-path algorithm have been devised. This work reviews the multi-level technique to answer shortest-path queries exactly [24, 9], which makes use of a hier...

With the advent of the RQF quality assessment exercise in Australia and similar exercises being undertaken in New Zealand and elsewhere, assessing research performance is now a topic of major importance to marketing academics. Using publicly available information on Google Scholar and the freely available Publish or Perish software system, this paper presents an overview of the research perform...
