agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

In this paper, synchronization for multi-agent systems subject to external disturbances is studied, and the notion of “H∞ almost synchronization” is introduced. The objective is to suppress the impact of disturbances on the synchronization error dynamics in terms of the H∞ norm of the corresponding closed-loop transfer function to any arbitrarily value. We focus on networks of non-identical lin...

Nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients may be strongly reduced by scale formation, even for conditions where the bulk foulant concentration is well below the saturation concentration. Due to the mechanism of micro-layer evaporation, the local concentration at the heat transfer surface can be considerably increased, causing the formation of scale and changes in bubble frequency and bubble d...

In this work, we derive the well-established expression for the quantum amplitude associated with the resonance energy transfer (RET) process between a pair of molecules that are beyond wavefunction overlap. The novelty of this work is that the field of the mediating photon is described in terms of a spherical wave rather than a plane wave. The angular components of the field are constructed in...

This paper reports the results of studying influence surfactants (SAS) on wetting titanium dioxide in alkyd paint and varnish materials (PVM), based pentaphthalic (PPh) alkyd-urethane (AU) film-forming substances. Edge angle (?°) adhesion work (Wa) were used as criteria for assessing wettability dioxide. Three additives SAS: original product AS-1, obtained from waste oil refining (with low cost...

This review highlights both the various polymers grafted to alkyd resins reported in literature and different routes synthesize these hybrids. Alkyd were discovered mid-1920s. Then, they quickly found a prominent place among coatings paint binders thanks their numerous advantages such as good heat resistance, excellent gloss, low cost. Nevertheless, 50 s, emergence of new synthetic with better ...

Electronic contracting, mostly through software agents, led to an impressive growth in electronic transactions, but also in the number of disputes arising out of these transactions. Paper-based courts are however unable to efficiently deal with this increase in disputes. On the other hand, current Online Dispute Resolution methodologies are impersonal and cold, leaving aside important informati...
