Achieving business-IT alignment is one of the main purposes and also challenges of organizations. Many studies have indicated the importance of aligning information systems (IS) function with other business functions. The main purpose of this survey is evaluating business-IT alignment focusing on social and technical dimensions of business-IT alignment in Bank Mellat. The data was collected thr...

The Space Flight Laboratory of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies has developed a prototype ground station antenna array correlator that offers advantages over previously employed approaches for weak signal communication. By using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in the microspacecraft transmission, the array can perform frequency correlation in addition ...

To test if migratory monarch butterflies use polarized light patterns as part of their time-compensated sun compass, we recorded their virtual flight paths in a flight simulator while the butterflies were exposed to patches of naturally polarized blue sky, artificial polarizers or a sunny sky. In addition, we tested butterflies with and without the polarized light detectors of their compound ey...

Background: In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment ofthe femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittalfemoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cor...

The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is designed as a high energy particle detector for probing cosmic-rays and $\gamma-$rays in wide range. trajectory of the incident mainly measured by Silicon-Tungsten tracKer-converter (STK) sub-detector, which heavily depends on precise internal alignment correction well accuracy global coordinate system. In this work, we carried out method to validate...

different approaches are presented regarding how to react to the changing world. all these approaches are me meaningful if cover the alignment principle in the organization as a fundamental and more important principle. surveys and research on the successful organizations are indicative of considering alignment as a determinant axis in the organization. this article is the result of a research ...

Recent technological advances have made it possible to carry out high-throughput metabonomics studies using gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Large volumes of data are produced from these studies and there is a pressing need for algorithms that can efficiently process and analyze data in a high-throughput fashion as well. We present an Automated Data Analysis Pip...

The Sky Net project proposes a mobile base transceiver station (BTS) for mobile communication service from airborne. In the preliminary study, a Microwave AirBridging (MAB) system is established on an Ultra-Light Aircraft (ULA) to offer relay mobile communication. In order to maintain sufficient Quality of Service (QoS) data-link, microwave system needs to establish critical Line-of-Sight (LoS)...

Improvement of the launch phase of a jet powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO), has been the subject of attention in the UAV industry. Use of flight simulation tools reduces the risk and required some amount of flight testing for complex aerospace systems. Full nonlinear equations of motion are used to study and simulate this maneuver and three case studies of ...
