Abstract: Low-energy buildings have become wide spread within the Czech Republic. Therefore it is necessary to focus on evaluation of indoor microclimate of such buildings. As indoor climate is greatly influenced by heating system and building constructions (as the most important parameters of thermal-hygric and toxic microclimate), this paper compares two case studies – two low-energy family houses with different heating systems and constructions. The aim of the paper is to determine optimal microclimate regarding particular heating systems and constructions. Since there have not been realized many of such case studies, this work might help designing healthy low-energy buildings with optimal indoor microclimate with is fundamental condition for a long-term inhabitation.

Abstract: There was a long history for educational strategy and technique in teaching and learning Islamic education in West Africa. The educational activities and cultural center in West Africa played a strategic role in introducing Islamic teaching. On the other hand, they also played a significant role in establishing great Islamic rulers and in extending the Islamic world to West Africa. This paper carried out a research on educational strategy and technique in teaching Islamic education from African teachers' perception. It was conducted by a survey. The data was collected from questionnaires that were distributed to 83 teachers as respondents from Timbuktu and Gene in Mali, Kanem and Bornum in Nigeria. The research finding showed that five educational techniques and two educational strategies were effective in teaching and learning Islamic education. In addition, enhancement technologies through teaching and learning will contribute in two areas (i) ICT (information !
and communication technology) may be used as a medium in the teaching and learning to develop a more creative thinking in the education process, and (ii) Media is a form of teaching aids that assists teachers in the teaching, provide them with tools to illustrate some points or processes as well as to support long distance educational system. The perception of the teachers in term of educational strategy and technique of teaching and learning in the classroom and the 7 strategies/ technologies perceived by African teachers were effective. Therefore, African teachers have improved their ability to apply more effective strategy and technique in their teaching. On the part of the students, the importance of the educational technique and media are to enable them to associate the effective learning

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: During last decades financial accounting faces the shift of financial reporting paradigms from historical costs accounting towards fair value concept. The most visible item of this change is reporting for financial instruments, particularly for financial derivatives. The research presents the particular approach of the analyzed area, namely identifying the particularities of reporting for financial instruments in correspondence to IFRS, through both theoretical description and empirical analysis, and continuously linking the findings to the actual knowledge stage and theories developed in the field. The results show a high level of similarity between Czech accounting principles and IFRS for reporting of financial instruments.

Abstract: This work is based on a previous Fast Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FFHSS) transceiver designed for wireless optical communications. The core of the transmitter was a discrete Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS). In the first prototype the DDS control and the digital synchronization signal were generated using a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), besides a discrete external filter was necessary to eliminate high frequency components of digital synchronization signal and generate analog synchronization signal. The FFHSS and analog synchronization signals were emitted by two separated Light Emitting Diodes (LED) to avoid adding them with discrete analog circuits. The peak emission wavelength of the LED was 650 nanometers. The objective of this work is redesign the modulator on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using System Generator from Xilinx and analyse the performances of this design methodology. System Generator is one design tool in Simulink of Matlab. It !
allows fast design of digital systems using block diagrams. The compilation generates the files necessary for the Integrated System Environment (ISE) for FPGA of Xilinx, where the description of the circuit is obtained in a standard hardware description language. In ISE it is possible to compile the hardware description language files, simulate the system, assign pins, obtain the program file and program the FPGA.

Abstract: In this paper, we study different network flow problems in networks with node capacity. The literature on network flow problems is extensive, but these problems are described and studied in networks in which only arcs could have finite capacities. There are several applications that arise in practice and that can be reduced to a specific network flow problem in a network in which also nodes have limited capacity. This is the reason for focusing on maximum flow problem, minimum flow problem and minimum cost flow problem in a network with node capacities.

Abstract: Abstract :- High performance computing systems can be designed using parallel processing. The effectiveness of these parallel systems rests primarily on the communication network linking processors and memory modules. Hence, an interconnection network that provides the desired connectivity and performance at minimum cost is required. The design of a suitable interconnection network for inter-processor communication is one of the key issues of the system performance. In this paper a new multistage interconnection network IASEN (Irregular augmented shuffle exchange) has been proposed modifying existing ASEN-2 network. ASEN-2 is a regular multipath network with limited fault tolerance. ASEN and IASEN MINs are analyzed and compared in terms of performance parameters namely Bandwidth, Probability of Acceptance, Throughput, Processor Utilization and Cost. The paper also discusses the permutation possibility behavior of both the networks with and without faults. It has b!
een observed that the proposed multistage interconnection network IASEN provides much better fault-tolerance by providing more paths between any pair of source-destination and almost double bandwidth as compared to ASEN-2 at the expanse of little more cost.

Abstract: Abstract: - Improved reservoir characterisation in the mature oil applied to Gourara Field of Sahara in Algeria, aimed at maximising both in-field and near-field hydrocarbon potential, requires a clearer understanding of sub-seismic stratigraphy and facies distributions. In this context, we present a regional, high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework for the Oued Namouss Field based on extensive sedimentological re-interpretation of core and wireline log data, combined with core analysis and published literature. This framework is used to place individual reservoirs in an appropriate regional context, thus resulting in the identification of subtle sedimentological and tectono-stratigraphic features of reservoir architecture that have been previously overlooked. We emphasise the following insights gained from our regional, high-resolution sequence stratigraphic synthesis: (1) improved definition of temporal and spatial trends in deposition both within and be!
tween individual reservoirs, (2) development of regionally consistent, predictive sedimentological models for two enigmatic reservoir intervals (the Formations I and II), and (3) recognition of subtle local tectono-stratigraphic controls on reservoir architecture, and their links to the regional structural evolution of the Province. We discuss the potential applications of these insights to the identification of additional exploration potential and to improved ultimate recovery. In this research a procedure was developed to assess and quantify uncertainties in hydrocarbon estimates related to depositional facies, petrophysical data and gross reservoir volumes. This procedure was applied to the Gourara Field, which is a mature gas field in the Oued Namous Basin, Algeria. The aim was to investigate the reasons for an unexpectedly high hydrocarbon recovery factor.

Abstract: n this report, we describe a new method in obtaining a 3D shape of specular surface by using five degrees of freedom (5-DOF) camera. We use the principle that the normal vectors of the surface are extracted by aligning the camera axis and the surface normal vector. From the normal vector data, the shape of the surface is reconstructed. After the flat and the ball surface, the objects of the research are continued to convex and concave specular surface. The convex object is an automobile glass window, where in this object we show that the back reflection of a parallel surface of a thin glass can be eliminated. In the concave object we have a limitation that the radius of object is not smaller than twice of the nearest distance from the camera to the surface. The result shows that the methodology improves the 3-D shape of object measurement with good accuracy.

Abstract: Non-linear finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit was employed to evaluate the energy absorption characteristics of concentric circular tubes subjected to impact in the axial direction. Thin-walled circular tube plays a vital role as energy absorber due to its high energy absorption capacity. However, the main drawback of existing tube type energy absorber is the high initial peak load. This work evaluates the capability of concentric circular tubes in reducing the peak load that is exerted to the protected structures and occupants during impact. Clearance and thickness of the structure were varied and different materials such as aluminum alloy, high strength steel and stainless steel were used. The study found that aluminum alloy has great potential to be utilized as energy absorbing system due to its high specific energy absorption capacity and long stroke. For all materials, increasing the clearance between the inner and outer circular tubes resulted in a reduction!
of peak load and a significant increase of specific energy absorption (SEA). However, increasing the thickness adversely increased the initial peak load and reduced the SEA. It can be deduced that concentric circular tubes could be utilized as a safer design of energy absorber as it exhibited a lower initial peak load during impact which is a desirable feature when designing for occupant safety.

Abstract: The paper deals with an aircraft supersonic inlet with mixed compression, which has a dual control system, based on the inner total pressure's ratio preservation. The authors have identified the inlet's gas-dynamic behavior, as well as the main control and controlled parameters. One has also built the system's mathematical model, based on system's non-linear motion equations; furthermore, one has established, based on some simplifying hypothesis, the system's linear non-dimensional model, useful for further studies, as well as for some similar inlets' modeling. A system description based on block diagram with transfer functions was also realized. Some simulations were also performed, concerning the system's time behavior (step response), for different cases of control possibilities.

Abstract: The mission 2020 basically is to develop a world class quality educational system which will realize the full potential of the individual and fulfil the aspiration of the 'One Malaysian nation'. This will only happen if education departs from the disinterested rote learning mode, and explores how information technology can be used to encourage active, creative, and independent learning. Therefore, Malaysia needs to make the critical transition from an industrial economy to being a leader in the Information Age. In order to make this vision a reality, Malaysian Government took a strategic project through smart school. Smart Schools were identified as having a key role to increase the number of ICT-skilled to meet the demand of industry that would be intergrating ICT into their process. It is a need to make a fundamental shifts towards a more technologically literate and thinking workforce, able to perform in a global work environment and use the tools and techno!
logy available in the Information Age.

Abstract: This study was carried out to examine the extent of the implementation of the Integrated Islamic Education system and its enhancement on teaching and learning through technology. This study is a qualitative research into the implementation of educational technology in the teaching and learning processes of Integrated Islamic Education in Brunei Darussalam. The Pioneer Schools (Sekolah Rintis) and the Thoughtful School (Sekolah Hatiminda) are solid evidence that Brunei has decided to settle on the Integrated Islamic Education for its future generations. The analysis of the interviews and questionnaires conducted concluded that Educational Technology was already being utilized to some extent in the classroom. However, they did not realize that they have been using and applying Educational Technology daily. The teachers need to make the teaching and leraning process effective and interesting. The Educational Technology practiced in primary schools is slightly limited !
in the areas of application of teaching methodology and approach, application of media in teaching and management and administration of the research schools

Abstract: The influence of Islam in West African education systems was significant. The transformation from traditional Quranic schools to more modern Islamic education was slow but evident. However, there was a lack of empirical study on the implementation of Islamic pedagogy in West African countries. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the development of Islamic teaching and learning in West African. Data was collected through questionnaire and observation. This study highlighted the role of the traditional of Islamic learning in West Africa, such as Timbuktu, Gene, Kanem and Bornun. The teacher needs to embrace the educational methodology and technology and able to apply ideas from various sources. Minority teachers agree with the use of traditional method and majority of them agree that traditional method in teaching and learning process needs to be developed. Workshop, seminar and discussion are the educational methodology and approach that can develop the t!

Abstract: Improved reservoir characterisation in the mature oil applied to Gourara Field of Sahara in Algeria, aimed at maximising both in-field and near-field hydrocarbon potential, requires a clearer understanding of sub-seismic stratigraphy and facies distributions. In this context, we present a regional, high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework for the Oued Namouss Field based on extensive sedimentological re-interpretation of core and wireline log data, combined with core analysis and published literature. This framework is used to place individual reservoirs in an appropriate regional context, thus resulting in the identification of subtle sedimentological and tectono-stratigraphic features of reservoir architecture that have been previously overlooked. We emphasise the following insights gained from our regional, high-resolution sequence stratigraphic synthesis: (1) improved definition of temporal and spatial trends in deposition both within and between indivi!
dual reservoirs, (2) development of regionally consistent, predictive sedimentological models for two enigmatic reservoir intervals (the Formations I and II), and (3) recognition of subtle local tectono-stratigraphic controls on reservoir architecture, and their links to the regional structural evolution of the Province. We discuss the potential applications of these insights to the identification of additional exploration potential and to improved ultimate recovery. In this research a procedure was developed to assess and quantify uncertainties in hydrocarbon estimates related to depositional facies, petrophysical data and gross reservoir volumes. This procedure was applied to the Gourara Field, which is a mature gas field in the Oued Namous Basin, Algeria. The aim was to investigate the reasons for an unexpectedly high hydrocarbon recovery factor.

Abstract: Biomass as fuel is a significant source of renewable energy. In comparison with fossil fuels, however, its effective use is more complicated. This is the reason why other than conventional technologies of combustion are sought to make energy use of biomass. One of the ways of converting biomass to thermal energy or electric power is thermal gasification. The generated gas can consequently be used in combustion engines, gas turbines, or be directly burnt in the furnaces of steam boilers. Yet another interesting way of using the gas is separation and use of its individual constituents, e.g. separation of hydrogen for fuel cells. This paper is focused on survey of research of biomass and waste gasification at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology. The first part of this paper deals with testing of the most frequent biomass by gasification process. Second part is focused on catalytic methods of gasification gas cleaning using at experimen!

Abstract: Over the last couple of decades, Universal Access and Universal Design have started to become an inseparable aspect in every design and construction project. Unfortunately, this still is not reality if a glance at education of relevant future professionals is taken. In order to reveal the existing situation in planning schools, a survey was carried out in Greece in autumn 2008 in order to interrogate the level of knowledge and understanding of students of design and construction professions as regards matters of accessibility. This paper presents this survey's results and discusses its outcome. In the end some conclusions are drawn and future perspectives are portrayed.

Abstract: In real-time multimedia, the overall time in Internet communications must be low and constant, in order to keep real-time sense and received media quality. When mobility is a basic requirement, efficient and flexible solutions should be adopted, avoiding harming time sensitive applications. In order to support mobile real-time multimedia communications on Internet backbones, a novel SIP extension is proposed, adding direct support to handover procedures in SIP clients. The procedures of that new extension, MobSIP, are specified and implemented in SIP clients, allowing formal and experimental verifications.
Keywords: SIP, Application layer mobility, Handover procedures, Real-time multimedia, fFormal specification.

Abstract: Under the rapid change business environment, the relationships of inter-organization in supply chain will be transformed from single to complex relationships, and complex relationships could be categorized into ¡§Compound Relationships¡¨ or ¡§Portfolio Relationships¡¨. Theme of this research is to demonstrate how the external/internal resource and maintained flexible volatility of inter-organization will affect the competitive advantage for organization. Most current existed literatures of inter-organization in supply chain are focusing on the kind and features of the simple relationships or portfolio relationships. This study will use Rough set methodology to discriminate nature relations between compound relationships oriented and portfolio relationships oriented the theoretical framework model concerning the influence factors of the different selection between inter-organization in Supply Chain. Our goal is to provide the selection model which is built by discri!
minate analysis and Rough set methodology; furthermore, to encourage more academic and practical studies interactions.

Abstract: The article acquaints readers with over four-year experience with virtual mobility gained during development of the network of interuniversity study in the Czech Republic. Virtual mobility represents utilization of information and communication technologies to obtain the same benefits as one would have with physical mobility but without the need to travel. The contribution describes two projects based on the issue of virtual mobility. The system of interuniversity study is depicted; special attention is devoted to the efficiency of virtual mobility. The efficiency is in this paper understood as a difference in numbers of students who got enrolled in courses at the beginning of the academic year and those who completed courses successfully at the end of the year. Reasons of the unsuccessful study are explored in detail.

Abstract: In this paper, a natural convection heat transfer from a differentially heated walls in a square cavity was solved using two different scale of numerical approaches; Navier-Stokes and lattice Boltzmann formulations. The vorticity-stream function method was replaced in the continuum Navier-Stokes formulation to reduce the number of unknown variables while lattice Boltzmann method reconstructs the evolution of fluid particles to predict the heat transfer and fluid flow behavior in the system. Both numerical methods are of second order accuracy in space and time. The results of both methods were evaluated and compared. Good agreement between the Navier-Stokes and lattice Boltzmann formulation was found.

Abstract: This paper presents a technique for implicit PDE solver implementation using multiplicable discrete analogues of first-order differential operators and constitutive relations. The technique is intended for mimetic discretizations, but may be used for other methods as well. As a model problem, Laplace equation is solved using this technique and the finite volume method. Several mimetic methods to reconstruct the flux in mesh faces have been proposed, as well as a method to reconstruct the node velocity.

Abstract: In traditional method of farming, human labors were required to visit the greenhouse at specific time and need to check the humidity level and temperature level manually. This conventional method is considered time consuming and needs a lot of work and effort. Therefore this research focuses on developing a system that can remotely monitor and predict changes of temperature level in agricultural greenhouse. The objective of the research is to develop a remote temperature monitoring system using wireless sensor and Short Message Service (SMS) technology. The proposed system has a measurement which capable of detecting the level of temperature. This system also has a mechanism to alert farmers regarding the temperature changes in the greenhouse so that early precaution steps can be taken. In this research, several tests had been conducted in order to prove the viability of the system. Test results indicated that the reliability of the system in propagating informatio!
n directly to the farmers could be gained excellently in various conditions.

Abstract: We will discuss a problem pertinent to many situations in which a statistical model is developed on a sample of individuals (describing their trajectories), but then it is applied on a much larger population of interest. Typical examples occur in natural gas and other energy consumption contexts. Due to various deficiencies of the original sample-only based model, due to possible inconsistencies between sample and the population as a whole, and/or due to inherently different nature of the available sample and population data, calibration arises as a natural way to improve original model. We start with a simple approach and proceed to introduce a formal and flexible, time-varying statistical model of state-space nature, from which such a calibration will come out as one of the products. The calibration model is quite general and hence it can be used far beyond the particular context of natural gas consumption modeling in which it was originally motivated.

Abstract: In this study, a computational algorithm has been developed to automatically detect human face and irises from color images captured by real-time camera. Haar cascade-based algorithm has been applied for simple and fast face detection. The face image is then converted into grayscale image. Three types of image processing techniques have been tested respectively to study its effect on the performance of iris detection algorithm. Then, iris candidates are extracted from the valley created at the face region. The iris candidates are paired up and the cost of each possible pairing is computed by a combination of mathematical models. Finally, the positions of the detected irises are used as a reference to refine the face region. The algorithm has been tested by quality images from Logitech camera and noisy images from Voxx CCD camera. The proposed algorithm has achieved 83.60% as the highest success rate of iris detection under a user-friendly and unconstraint office en!

Abstract: The present work is the generalization of boundary value problem for ordinary differential equations on graphs. This problem is investigated and correctness of the stated problem is proved in [1]. The special attention is given to construction and research of difference analogues. Estimation of precision is given. The formulas of double-sweep method type are suggested for finding the solution of obtained difference scheme. In this work the boundary-value problems for Poisson's equations in the three-dimensional space on some two-dimensional structures with one-dimensional common part is given and investigated. This technique of investigation can be easily applied to the more complex initial data and equations. The difference scheme for numerical solution of this problem is constructed and estimation of precision is given. Such problems have practical sense and they can be used for mathematical modeling of specific problems of physics, engineering, ecology and so on!

Abstract: A simple an effective algorithm for performing distance queries between a large number of points stored in quadtrees and octrees. The algorithm is developed and tested for the construction of diffusion-limited aggregates. To achieve an enhancement on the searching time we accept approximate distance values with low precision at the first levels of the hierarchical structure, and accurate ones at the last level. The structure of the trees is the only feature used for the determination of approximate distances at any stage. These techniques allowed us to build DLA clusters with up to 10^9 particles for the two-dimensional case and up to 10^8 particles for the three-dimensional case. We also worked with the PDLA model obtaining fractal clusters with up to 10^10 and 10^9 particles for two and three dimension clusters respectively. We worked on a supercomputer to run the PDLA simulations, as well as a high performance server for DLA simulations. We employed POSIX thread!
s to provide parallelization and mutexes as control mechanisms to achieve synchronization between groups of 4 processors, hence simulating PDLA clusters with early convergence to the DLA model.

Abstract: An accurate training on measurement techniques and measurement system design can be obtained by carrying out real experiments with real electronic components and circuits. The measurement system presented in this paper performs the computer aided study of the bending stress sensor. This experimental system is very useful for engineering undergraduates because they can test the theoretical knowledge about measurement techniques, sensors and transducers, signal conditioning circuits, data acquisition boards, signal processing methods and computers (hardware and software). The bending stress sensor consists of four strain gauges connected in a full-bridge circuit, and it transforms the load or force into measurable voltage change. An instrumentation amplifier and a noise suppression circuit and amplifier are designed for conditioning the output voltage of the bending stress sensor. The computer aided study of this sensor imposes a data acquisition board with a microco!
ntroller, adequate software and a friendly user interface. The procedure for strain gauge sensor study supposes the following four stages: assignation of the measurement points, plotting the transfer characteristic of the force transducer, computing some parameters of the force transducer (zero error, differential sensitivity, relative sensitivity), weighing some objects using the strain gauge sensors. The architecture and design considerations for signal conditioning module and data acquisition board are also presented in this paper.

Abstract: This paper aims to reveal the general goals of Universal Design and Universal Access according to the normative situation in the European Community, focusing on the existing situation in Greece. As Athens was the last European city where (Para-) Olympic Games took place, the results of a comparative study are presented, revealing accessibility conditions to buildings of public use in Greece's capital. Using a study carried out in 1984, the changes regarding Universal Access over the last two and a half decades are investigated. Building categories such as ministries, hospitals, higher-degree educational buildings, museums, cinemas and theatres were visited and re-evaluated with the help of a specific protocol in 2004 and 2009. In the end, the degree of improvement is discussed and conclusions are drawn.

Abstract: This paper presents big-M (penalty) method for optimum time coordination of overcurrent (OC) relays. The method is based on the simplex algorithm which is used to find optimum solution of linear programming problem (LPP). The method introduces artificial variables in the objective function to get an initial basic feasible solution (IBFS). Artificial variables are removed using iterative process which also leads to an optimum solution. The OC relays are the major protection devices in a distribution system. To reduce the power outages, mal-operation of the backup relays should be avoided, and therefore, OC relay time coordination in power distribution network is a major concern of protection engineer. The OC relay time coordination in ring fed distribution networks is a highly constrained optimization problem. The purpose is to find an optimum relay setting to minimize the time of operation of relays and at the same time, to avoid the mal-operation of relays. Big!
-M simplex technique for optimum time coordination of OC relays in a ring fed distribution system is presented in this paper.

Abstract: Abstract: - This paper presents an improved type of data schism and interpolation called Alnuaimy-Mahamod Interpolation based on the mean and variance to calculate the entire point between two known points. A new mathematical method is developed for interpolation from a given set of data points in a plane and for fitting a smooth curve to the points. This method is devised in such a way that the resultant curve will pass through the given points and will appear smooth and natural. Data schism and interpolation describes the behaviors of the calculated points which behave as bacteria reproduction. This type of interpolation based on calculation of the mean and the variance of two adjacent points and modify of these calculate values by named factors to be used to calculate the entire points. Our type of interpolation can be working as linear midpoint interpolation, linear interpolation and smooth curve fitting.

Abstract: In the present work the combined Decision Making Technology based on the Statistical and Fuzzy Analysis is offered. This is a novel technology, which is based on the use of fuzzy-statistical methods. The technology involves two stages of decision-making. While considering the same object, the first three methods make a decision independently. These methods are – the Statistical Method of Fuzzy Grades' Analysis, the Fuzzy Discrimination Analysis and the Case Based Reasoning. Each makes a decision with its own approach to a problem and uses statistical and expert data. These statistical data are the existing historical cases of correctly made decisions with exhibited activities. At the second stage, the fourth method – an Expertons method – is used to make a final decision. The method works with the expert data only and chooses the most believable decision from those offered by the first three methods. Proposed Decision Making Technology is applied to a specific fo!
recasting problem – the decision-making on the possibility of earthquake occurrence. The present work describes the modifications of the "classical" variants of fuzzy-statistical methods, which became necessary to solve the specific forecasting problem and, also, introduces the Decision Support System, which was developed completely based on the proposed combined technology. The article provides an example clearly illustrating the work of the developed system.

Abstract: : This paper deals with the intelligent navigation control of Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles (IAV) in an unknown environments. The aim of this paper is to develop an IAV combining Expert Systems (ES) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) for the IAV stationary obstacle avoidance to provide them more autonomy and more intelligence. Artificial intelligence, including Fuzzy logic and Expert system, has been actively studied and applied to domains such as automatically control of complex systems like robot. The proposed approach can deal a wide number of environments. This system constitutes the knowledge bases of FL_ES approach allowing recognizing situation of the target localization and obstacle avoidance, respectively. The integration of FL and ES based on intelligent computing offers to the autonomous mobile system the ability to realize these factors: recognition, learning, decision-making, and action (the principle obstacle avoidance problems). Hence, this hybrid intelligen!
t system FL_ES is necessary to bring the behaviour of Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles (IAV). The combination of FL and ES is done using a grid-map form of an unknown environment with static unknown obstacles. The proposed algorithm allows a mobile robot to navigate through static obstacles, and finding the path in order to reach the target without collision. In each situation and autonomously, the robot moves within the unknown environment by sensing and avoiding the obstacles coming across its way towards the target. This intelligent task must make the robot able to achieve these tasks: to avoid obstacles, and to make ones way toward its target by ES_FL system capturing the behavior of a human expert. The integration of ES and FL has proven to be a way to develop useful real-world applications, and hybrid systems involving robust adaptive control. The proposed approach has the advantage of being generic and can be changed at the user demand. The results are satisfactory t!

Abstract: Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) can be viewed as a philosophy that drives the development of components by defining their interfaces clearly and in a way that relates to real needs. It is the key to IT and business flexibility and receives a lot of attention from academia and industry as a means to develop flexible and dynamic software solutions. Web 2.0 world is wide and rich. Although significant progress is being made in several fronts, many other researchers speak of Web 2.0 applications; they tend to focus on the technology aspects of the environment. However, the real impact of integrating Web 2.0 technologies is to tie the flexibility of Web 2.0 to service-oriented principles of loose coupling, encapsulation, and reuse that are the heart and soul of SOA. Today¡¦s sites are no longer limited to exchanging links and interacting via hypertext; instead, the interconnectedness of the Internet has become progressively more important with the rise of web servic!
es. This paper presents web 2.0 mashups remixing data and Web Services. The purpose of this paper is to propose a flexibility solution and new mashup platforms for e-applications and interactive services. Flexibility is the key driver of Web 2.0 success¡Xthe flexible delivery of data through the combination of services and disparate data sources through mash-ups, real-time data feeds, and rich interactions. In this paper we also explore the architectural basis, technologies, frameworks and tools considered necessary to face this novel vision of Web 2.0¡Xall of which adds business value and helps companies utilizes the rich collaboration and communication of the Internet today.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to illustrate a new method for monitoring a gearbox during the reliability test (or duration test). In particular it is illustrated the tune-up of an algorithm for monitoring this test in order to stop it if an unexpected event occurs. In the first part it is explained the reliability test, why and how it is performed on a gearbox. In the second part it is showed the selection of the best points for the measurement and the equipment used for the assessment. In the third part it is presented the algorithm for improving the reliability test. We have settled the algorithm in order to stop the test if the gearbox will be damaged for any reason. By using this algorithm, we can early detect a gear crack, having so the advantage both of providing the integrity of the gearbox and the possibility of inspecting it.

Abstract: The implementation of outcome-based education (OBE) curriculum in the university syllabus nowadays plays an important role in producing quality graduates students. Assurance to the effectiveness of OBE, a steady and continuous assessment must be carried out through each course as well as the industrial training program. This paper discussed the perceptions of the undergraduate students from Civil and Structural Engineering Department who have undergone their industrial training program. Questionnaires were prepared and summarized into three main aspects i.e. 'personal attitude', 'communication' and 'work attitude' of the students before and after the training program. The results show that the overall student's performance before the training averaging from 48% to 63% for these three main aspects. Interestingly the percentage has tremendously increased to 89% - 95% after completion of the training program. This proved that the OBE implementation in university sylla!
bus is beneficial for improvement to the engineering education and engineering profession in general.

Abstract: Many authors and institutions claimed for the integration of disabled individuals into society by the use of the technology. In the case of multimedia content, the problem of accessible information is not seen to be chronic or unsolvable. In the new social web scenario, an increasing number of multimedia resources are available on the internet. Unfortunately, most of them are not accessible. Given that the conversion process of such resources is human capital intensive, and not always viable from an economic point of view, new and effective solutions must be made to address this accessibility gaps. In this scenario, methods stemming from Computer-Assisted Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Social Web can be an effective way to achieve audiovisual accessibility in an affordable and effective way. The current work proposes the definition of a reference architecture which uses CSCW techniques based on social web, with the objective of converting multimedia resources into acc!
essible resources in a quicker and more effective and efficient way.

Abstract: Absorptive capacity and technological compatibility are among the many elements that facilitate the transference of technology. However, studies that discussed absorptive capacity overlooked most elements that have been suggested to comprise the construct. In addition, studies on technology transfer have also not integrated both the firm's capacity to absorb the technology and the appropriateness of the technology, even though both are seen as important to ensure the success of technology transfer. This study used data collected from Malaysian manufacturing firms to determine the relationship between absorptive capacity, technological compatibility and technology transfer performance. The results show there are associations among the dimensions of knowledge diversification and transformative capacity with the integration stage of technology transfer. Appropriateness of technology also shows similar patterns. In addition, multiple regression tests also indicated tha!
t these variables contributed in explaining the transfer stage.

Abstract: The tasks of sound source localization are always of great value in many engineering applications. In these types of localization appliances, several microphone transducers are usually involved in the localization structures. Each of the arrival times of the sound stimulus applied to these microphones is determined individually and sent to the arithmetic-logic sections immediately by which the localization systems could find out positions of the sound sources subsequently. But these appliances always consist of many components, and the looseness of structures may narrow their practical applications. In this paper, a new type of instrument is designed to accomplish the purpose of localizing the sound source by a relatively compact structure. This bionics structure is designed to mimic the localization function of the ears of the parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea, and it consists of three elastic diaphragms, three bars which connected to the diaphragms, and the other mec!
hanical components. The analysis of this structure¡¯s dynamic behavior shows that the incident angles of the sound have special relationship to the responses of this instrument, and the incident angles can be estimated by detecting the vibrations of the three elastic diaphragms. Compared with traditional microphone arrays, this instrument has the advantage of compaction and higher integrated level.

Abstract: In the first part there are created and justified new 2D with respect to spatial coordinates nonlinear dynamical mathematical models von Kármán-Mindlin-Reissner(KMR) type systems of partial differential equations for anisotropic porous, piezo, viscous elastic prismatic shells. Truesdell-Ciarlet unsolved( even in case of isotropic elastic plates) problem about physical soundness respect to von Kármán system is decided. There is find also new dynamical summand ( is Airy stress function) in the another equation of von Kármán type systems too. Thus the corresponding systems in this case contains Rayleigh-Lamb wave processes not only in the vertical, but also in the horizontal direction. For comlpleteness we also lead 2D Kirchhoff-Mindlin-Reissner type models for elastic plates of variable thickness. Then if KMR type systems are 1D one respect to spatial coordinates at first part for numerical solution of corresponding initial-boundary value problems we conside!
r the finite-element method using new class of B-type splain-functions. The exactness of such schemes depends from differential properties of unknown solutions: it has an arbitrary order of accuracy respect to a mesh width in case of sufficiently smoothness functions and Sard type best coefficients characterizing remainder proximate members on less smoothing class of admissible solutions. Corresponding dynamical systems represent evolutionary equations for which the methods of Harmonic Analyses are nonapplicable. In this connection for Cauchy problem suggests new schemes having arbitrary order of accuracy and based on Gauss-Hermite processes. This processes are new even for ordinary differential equations.

Abstract: This paper compares the performance of absorption refrigeration cycles that are used for refrigeration temperatures below 0°C. Since the most common vapor absorption refrigeration systems use ammonia-water solution with ammonia as the refrigerant and water as the absorbent, research has been devoted to improvement of the performance of ammonia-water absorption refrigeration systems in recent years. In this paper the performances of the ammonia-water and possible alternative cycles as ammonia-lithium nitrate, ammonia-sodium thiocyanate, monomethylamine-water, R22-DMEU, R32-DMEU, R124-DMEU, R152a-DMEU, R125-DMEU, R134a-DMEU, trifluoroethanol (TFE)-tetraethylenglycol dimethylether (TEGDME), methanol-TEGDME and R134a-DMAC are compared in respect of the coefficient of performance (COP) and circulation ratio (f). The highest COP and the lowest f, were found as a function of the generator, condenser, absorber and evaporating temperature.

Abstract: In industrial electronic systems, power converters with power components are used. Each controlled component has its own control circuit. In this paper, the authors propose an original control circuit in order to replace the different existing circuits. The proposed circuit is the representation of an elliptical trigonometry function. Thus, by varying the value of one of its parameter, the output waveform will change. Finally, Labview and Matlab simulation results of the studied circuit are presented and discussed.

But these appliances always consist of many components, and the looseness of structures may narrow their practical applications. In this paper, a new type of instrument is designed to accomplish the purpose of localizing the sound source by a relatively compact structure. This bionics structure is designed to mimic the localization function of the ears of the parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea, and it consists of three elastic diaphragms, three bars which connected to the diaphragms, and the other mec!
hanical components. The analysis of this structure’s dynamic behavior shows that the incident angles of the sound have special relationship to the responses of this instrument, and the incident angles can be estimated by detecting the vibrations of the three elastic diaphragms. Compared with traditional microphone arrays, this instrument has the advantage of compaction and higher integrated level.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The traditional welding flux is costly and the flux used in Submerged Arc Welding generates wastages known as Slag. It is generally thrown away as a waste after use. This poses the problem of storage, disposal, and environmental pollution and needs landfill space apart from exhaust of non-renewable resources. If by recycling the used flux can be reused in product yielding same quality parameter as the new flux, then the cost of the input will go down significantly. However, this requires extensive trial and error experimentation because it is often difficult to know how the slag ingredients interact after recycling to determine the operational characteristics of the recycled flux and the final performance of the welded structure. Keeping this in mind, an experiment has been carried out in a manufacturing unit with small investment. As far as possible, Weld qualification tests were performed using recycled flux to get it qualified in an approved laboratory !
in the final products made from recycled slag based on sample tests supported by cost comparisons and live testing in a product used in commercial vehicles. Hence, the present work aims at establishing a quantitative and qualitative relationship about the potential to revolutionize welding slag recycling technology supported by statistical analysis tools for life testing of samples. Some results obtained regarding strength of Submerged Arc Welded joints, comparative cooling rate between original flux and recycled slag have been investigated and presented. Furthermore, a few areas of using recycled welding slag have been recommended and potential areas for further research, where the recycled slag may be useful, have been suggested.

Abstract: Whilst many cross-cultural studies of business negotiation discourse have focused on the Asia region, typically among non-native speakers of English, this study provides specific insights into cross-cultural business communication discourse between Malaysian and Australian business people. Because of the increasing numbers of Malaysian international business players now operating through English as a second language , insights into the specific linguistic and cultural aspects that may cause problems in the process of business negotiation with speakers of English need to be investigated. The significance of this study is that by exploring the process of negotiation discourse, detailed information regarding any difficulties and differences experienced by the interacting parties can be identified. At the same time, strategies for overcoming these difficulties and achieving successful negotiation outcomes will also be formulated. In these ways, a contribution can be ma!
de to the existing body of linguistic knowledge regarding (cross-cultural) discourse analysis in business contexts. Another way in which the study will make a significant contribution to research in this field is that the methods will build on, and extend, Marriott's (p. 78; 1995b) framework for analysis. In this regard, the main contribution of this research to the field of cross-cultural business communication studies is that it provides detailed, salient features of specifically Australian/Malaysian business discourse in a context different to that investigated by previous works in the tradition of a socio-cultural perspective of cross-cultural business discourse. A contribution will also be made in relation to the Malaysian Government's Ministry of Malaysian International Trade and Industry (MITI) concern that Faculty of Business graduates throughout Malaysia should be able to enter the business world with a high level of intercultural competency so that they are able!
to interact successfully with their native English speaking counterpa
rts in countries such as Australia. Therefore, the results of the present study will have practical value for both MITI and Business university students in Malaysia, as well as the potential to make a scholarly theoretical contribution to knowledge about cross-cultural business negotiation. The practical relevance is that the study will suggest an intercultural pedagogical approach for business courses within Malaysian universities.

Abstract: Light Emitting Diode (LED) is quite different from traditional light sources in many aspects. In this paper the practical aspects of LED¡¯s measurement and problems are discussed. An integrating sphere system is designed and implemented for LED measurement based on a multi-channel spectrometer. The principle and procedure of the measurement are presented, and then the measurement errors are analyzed. The spectrometer uses a Self-scanning Photodiode (SPD) Array device as the detector which has 256 pixels and ultra-high sensitivity. The system can fulfil fast and accurate measurement for LED¡¯s photometric and colorimetric quantities such as total luminous flux, Color Temperature, Color Rending Index (CRI) and color coordinate. This method can avoid the measurement errors by self-absorption effect and mismatch of V (¦Ë).

Abstract: Some small defects like fix protrusion or free moving particles exist in GIS can induce partial discharge (PD) which will deteriorate insulation condition and eventually cause insulation breakdown when GIS are in service. It is very important to detect and locate the PD signal for early detection of insulation defects and preventing insulation failure. Time of flight method which based on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) technique is widely used for locating PD in GIS for the merits such as simple principle and easy implementation. But in application, the time of flight method can hardly be applied effectively and will induce errors if the initial pulse of the PD signal is small and blurry or its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is too low. In this paper, the characteristics of electromagnetic wave (EM-wave) propagation route in GIS were investigated and a new localization method was proposed. The simulation and experiment results show that the EM-wave signals induced by PD i!
n GIS are related with EM-wave propagation routes, which were decided by the location of PD source and detector¡¯s position. The experiment results show that the proposed PD localization method which based on the characteristics of EM-wave propagation route can locate the PD signal well and effectively in the case that the initial pulse of PD signals is very small and blurry when PD source locates near the outer conductor of GIS.

Abstract: Defects inside insulation of HV XLPE cable accessories can lead to partial discharge (PD) activity. When PD activity happens, leakage current may flow through the grounded line. To acquire the PD current signal, one practicable and effective method is placing a high frequency current transformer (HFCT) winding the grounded line. In order to measure the insulation degradation, a partial discharge on-line monitoring system is developed and reported in this paper. Through the field test, the presented monitoring system is effective and available for power cable in the condition based maintenance (CBM). However, on-site partial discharger detection on XLPE cables and cable accessories are very difficult of variable noise interference, which gives much trouble to partial discharge detecting. This paper introduced an adaptive filter stationary-non stationary filter based on the wavelet transform (WTST-NST) to de-noise the stationary noise interference in partial discha!
rge detecting. The proposed method is a wavelet domain filtering technique, based on the iterative multi-resolution decomposition reconstruction (MRD-MRR) with hard threshold, for extracting PD signals from stationary interference noise. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the experimental results, while using the WTST-NST filter to PD signals recorded from power cables, prove that the ability to extract the PD from noise hidden in it.

Abstract: Individual¡¦s behavior on privacy protecting is affected by not only the personal psychological factors, but also the external influences. However, the latter was always ignored in previous researches. For investigating how the external as well as internal factors simultaneously affected one¡¦s privacy concern on privacy protection and restrained related behavior, this study applied perceived behavior control to modifying previous privacy model. In addition, a hypothesized model proposed to interpret how the related factors influenced individual¡¦s behavior on privacy protection. The result of this study also indicated the significant relationships between personal privacy perception and perceived behavioral control.

Abstract: Controllable delay elements are essential for shifting the edges of signals in many digital and mixed-mode signal processing integrated circuits. Digitally programmable delay elements (DPDEs) are more flexible, less susceptible to noise and exhibit more robustness than their analog counterparts. In this paper, a partially programmable and a fully programmable delay elements are proposed. Together with a switched current mirror, a gate decoupling technique is applied to the former while a Schmitt type inverter is used in the later structure to achieve more significantly reduced static and short-circuit current. The delay elements are implemented in a 0.18um technology and simulation results with a 1V power supply show a more than 40% power saving while operating at a speed of 450MHz in both structures.

Abstract: Plagiarism and collusion are forms of academic misconduct. In academic institutions, plagiarism is on the increase and with the ready availability of information though the Internet and essay mills, it is becoming an issue of concern. Although, plagiarism and collusion are regarded as academic offence with severe penalties, a large number of students are still committing this offence, sometimes with intent. This paper discusses how and why some students plagiarize, collude or collaborate (when collaboration is not allowed). It also details different forms of plagiarism and reports the results of an experiment to understand students' understanding and perceptions. A questionnaire was constructed with a number of simple scenarios and students were asked to determine whether they were instances of plagiarism, collusion or collaboration. Results show that whereas students think they know what plagiarism is, they cannot always identify it when presented with different s!
cenarios. The paper also mentions a number of plagiarism detection tools and suggests strategies for the lecturing staff to adopt - to deter students from submitting plagiarized work.

Abstract: With growing demands for fast provision of new and complex services, imposed by life and business dynamic in general, service providers are forced to adopt open technologies and advanced business models in their solutions. These enable a fast response to market demands and maximum utilization of the network. A big challenge for operators today is how to deliver broadband services in rural areas. Today, the broadband services in urban areas are served by DSL and cable modems. However, it is too difficult and very expensive for operators to deploy wired network in rural areas. BWA technology can overcome this problem. Today, the most popular BWA technology is WiMAX (commonly referred as IEEE 802.16), which supports fixed, nomadic, portable, and mobile operations. WiMAX is based on IP network. As a result, many operators around the world are interested to integrate WiMAX in existing networks to facilitate the move to an all IP.

Abstract: This paperwork analyses the tension and deformation state of the resistance structure of an overhead crane bridge which used for all the processes performed in the hall of a continuous casting department of an iron and steel plant in order to find out the best sizes. This analysis is made up with the help of the COSMOS software who enables us to make evolved finite items – shell-type with three or four nodes per element. The shell-type finite items belong to the C1–class items, and they have a field variable and the I-type derivates working continuously alongside the frontier, meanwhile the II-type continuous derivates per item are not continuous alongside the frontier. These finite items allow us to design some complex structures more accurately, such as the resistance structure of the crane bridge. This example is not intended to be the only solution when designing symilar structures, but the authors of this paperwork believe that it is providing enough informati!
on and useful solutions for the analysis of the tension and deformation state in case of finite items.

Abstract: Software development (SD) refers to design and development of software applications. Most educational institutions teach programming using a procedural paradigm and an imperative language where the emphasis is often on learning a computer language and not on problem solving or the modeling of realistic computational problems. Thus, the teaching is dependent on the chosen language, which is not entirely appropriate for teaching principles of programming or SD as an engineering activity. This paper discusses the traditional method of teaching programming and suggests an objects-first approach where students adopt a top-down method of learning to develop software. Our model introduces functions and modules as basic building blocks for producing software. Thus, students' first programs are written as sequences, selections and iterations of given functions and it is in the later stages of the course, that they learn the basic constructs of the language. This paper outli!
nes a complete framework for teaching a first course in programming. It also discusses the characteristics of a good teaching language to help academics to choose an appropriate first programming language.

Abstract: This research intends to contribute to the one of Corporate Governance mechanism on transparency and disclosure on the financial statements. As in the recent development of finding from Financial Statements Review Committee (FSRC) that company did not disclose of Material expenses and not classifies accordingly. This study provides an evidence for the transparency level on income statements with regard of firms' characteristics of 150 Main and Second Boards companies listed on the Bursa Malaysia. The characteristics are grouped into three groups of variables: structural (firm size, leverage and number of shareholder) and market related (listing type and industry type) and performance (profit margin, return on equity and liquidity). This study started with the development of a Transparency Index based on the percentage of the details of expenses disclosed in annual reports (notes to the accounts) over total expenses of the company. Findings suggest that this index o!
n the average for the companies in the sample is about 64 percent with three particular companies scoring transparency index at 100 percent. Both univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were performed on the data. The stepwise regression method indicates that only one variable is significant at 5% which is number of shareholders (LnNOSH). The other factors are not significant. Thus, this study contributes to the enhancement of knowledge regarding income statements transparency and disclosure practices under new reporting regime in Malaysia and provides a basis for the conduct of research in this area. The study suggests extending the longitudinal study for several years of data and addition of variables to the model.

Abstract: This paper presents a model for calculating the transient space-time current distributions in vertical electrodes and to the surrounding ground. The model is based on the electromagnetic field theory for calculations of the step function wave-pair response. The method takes into account the parameters of the electrode, such as: the radius and the length of the electrode. Furthermore, the conductivity, permittivity and the propagation velocity of the currents in the ground are also considered. In the analysis, the electrode is divided into finite sections. Thereafter, the "Compensating Currents", ground leakage currents and the current in the electrode in each section are calculated at all times. The model is applied by a MATLAB code for the calculations of the above-mentioned currents' distributions. The results show that for soils of high conductivity values, relative short electrodes are needed for dissipating transient currents such as lightning currents. Furth!
ermore, soil conductivity is a more sensitive parameter compared to the radius of the electrode and the permittivity of the ground.

Abstract: In Malaysia, entrepreneurship has undergone a period of rapid growth in the last 10 to 15 years. It is acknowledged to be a critical area that provides the support on the process of economic development in achieving a developed nation status. The main objective of this study is to determine whether attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behaviour control influence students' intention to be an entrepreneur; and to examine the strength of intention's predictors; which are attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behaviour control, on students' intention to be an entrepreneur. Descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed to analyse the data. Besides these, a reliability test was also conducted to ensure the consistency and reliability of the constructs used in measuring the identified variables. The study also indicated that perceived behaviour control was found to be the strongest influence on entrepreneurial intention. This study has many i!
mplications to be considered. Firstly, higher learning institutions should carry out more effective programmes and short courses like Graduate Business ("Siswaniaga") and Basic Entrepreneurship ("Asas Keusahawanan"). Secondly, a supportive environment would increase entrepreneurial intentions therefore communities should especially make resources available and visible, publicise entrepreneurial successes, and increase the diversity of opportunities. Lastly, the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Cooperative Development (MECD) as a policy maker needs to think about new ideas that can stimulate the forthcoming new generations to get involved in entrepreneurship. It is recommended, in the future, that a more comprehensive study should be carried out to extend the samples to cover all accounting programmes in all universities in Malaysia.

Abstract: Frequency intersystem interference is a phenomenon caused by coexistence of multiple wireless systems in same or adjacent areas. Consequently, frequency sharing studies play a very important rule in order to use limited spectrum resources efficiently. Because an International Mobile Telecommunication-Advanced (IMT-Advanced) systems are going to use 3500 MHz according to World Radiocommunication Conferences 2007 (WRC-07) decision along with point-to-point Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) system, which currently allocated in the same band, the frequency sharing between IMT-Advanced and FWA is essential. This paper investigates the spectrum sharing requirements in different terrestrial areas using interference to noise ratio criterion. Three methods of investigation of the interference, co-channel, null-guard band, and adjacent channel, have been proposed to investigate the phenomenon in the frequency and space domains to obtain correlation between the minimum separated ra!
nge of base stations antennas and the frequency separation. Off-axis angles direction alignment is also proposed to reduce the necessary coordination separation distance and frequency separation for good enough coexistence between systems.

Abstract: E-services is a suite of web-based products brings profound changes in business models and value chains especially for Professional and Continuing Education Centre (PACE) environment due to its responsibility to manage all courses provided by every faculty to private colleges. PACE is currently running resourcefully but it is facing a few problems such as the difficulties of each faculty officer to get information about private colleges, and a lack of information management in private colleges itself. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a model of e-service application called E-Supervised (E-SUV) to provide the information related to twinning programmes between Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and private colleges by enabling users to interact via portal by using the UML-based Web Engineering (UWE) approach. This methodology includes four modeling activities which are requirement analysis, conceptual model, navigation model and presentation model. !
This research results in a web-based environment consisting of major modules such as profiles, forums, and email service for users to utilize. In a nutshell, UWE approach is a viable option to facilitate e-services in education environment and thus could serve as a guideline model of future e-distance learning centre. Rigorous tests to see how this model behaves under real-life practice would be a way forward to identifying its effectiveness.

Abstract: In order to reduce the wastage and loss of petroleum products in transit, a monitoring and management system is proposed for tank truck transportation. In this system, a vehicle transport recorder is developed to record the operations of inputs and outputs of a tank truck via a kind of Hall Effect switch sensors. Wireless data transceivers are designed to start and stop monitoring in the starting stations and destinations automatically. The information recorded by the vehicle transport recorder is collected by a smart card and then it is transferred to the host management software which is developed to manage the transportation data, alarm messages, devices, archives, etc. The integrated and intelligent system has been implemented and applied to practice, and it reduces the loss of petroleum products during the transportation efficiently.

Abstract: Family firms receive scant attention in the mainstream management literature, particularly with respect to the development of theories of the firm. This neglect is unfortunate because in terms of contributions, and especially numbers, family businesses represent a dominant form of economic organization throughout the world, although the field of family businesses has been regarded as a separate academic discipline since the 1990s in the word, but in Iran There is not any study in this field particularly. Furthermore growth of firms is very important firm survival. We investigated and explained the affective factors for growth and development of family businesses in Tehran. It is to be noted that this research is the first Academic research in Iran in the field of family business. This survey contains textile and oil industries in Tehran. Almost 78 family businesses in textile industry and 80 family businesses in oil industry were identified. A sample of 88 firms fr!
om two industries was examined in our study. The findings showed that there are correlations between growth and independent factors such as risk taking of owner-managers, orientation to innovation, skills related to management, people interest to participate in their family business, strategic insight in people of family, political environment, cultural environment and economical environment, and there is not any correlation between growth and the governance of family on their businesses.

Abstract: Business logistics have played an important role of business operations of procurement, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, distribution, transportation, customer support, financial and human resources. Human body type classifications are also very crucial issue for garment manufacturing. Data mining has been widely used in many fields. But, there is lack of research in the area of establishing of garment-sizing systems for business logistics. This research aims to establish sizing systems of body types from the anthropometric data of females by using a fuzzy clustering-based data mining approach. Certain advantages may be observed when the sizing systems are established, using fuzzy clustering-based data mining procedure. Body types could be accurately classified for garment production according the newly the sizing systems. This approach is found to be effective in processing the anthropometric data, and obtaining regular rules for the development of sizing syste!
ms. The results of this study can provide an effective procedure of identifying the clusters of human body type to establish the sizing systems for integrating logistics operations internally with different functions inside the organization and also externally with business partners.

Abstract: Photovoltaics are the technology that generates direct current (DC) electrical power measured in watts or kilowatts from semiconductors when they are illuminated by photons. Photovoltaics are the technological symbol for a future sustainable energy supply system in many countries. A considerable amount of money is invested in research, development and demonstration; several governments set up substantial market introduction programs and industry invests in larger production facilities. Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is an economic method of project evaluation in which all costs arising from owning, operating, maintaining and ultimately disposing of a project are considered to be potentially important to that decision. Doing a LCCA gives the total cost of a PV system -including all expenses incurred over the life of the system. LCCA is particularly suitable for the evaluation of building design alternatives that satisfy a required level of building performance, bu!
t that may have different initial investment costs; different operating, maintenance and repair (OM&R) costs; and possibly different lives. In this study, a software computer program for educational purposes is designed to determine initial, life cycle and unit energy costs of a stand-alone photovoltaic system in Turkey. Depending on the selected location, material and criteria, the proposed software implements the life cycle analysis of the system. The database and fixed constants of proposed software can be updated and new elements can be added at any time. Present value algorithm is described in previous section is used for cost calculation. Inappropriate selection of components is blocked by the software. Also, too large selection of particular elements such as inverter and batteries is blocked for optimal sizing of the system. As a result of the calculations were performed using software designed, in terms of lifetime cost and unit energy costs of PV systems most suita!
ble provinces are Mersin, Antalya, Adana, Mardin, Van, Adýyaman, Aydýn
and Kilis respectively. In the opposite, the highest costs are in Gümüþhane, Yalova, Aðrý, Çankýrý and Kastamonu provinces.

Abstract: Abstract: The concept of mass production essentially involves the assembly of identical or interchangeable parts of components into the final product at different stages and workstations. The relative advantages and disadvantages of mass or flow production are a matter of concern for any mass production industry. How to design an assembly line starting from the work breakdown structure to the final grouping of tasks at work stations has been discussed in this paper using two commonly used procedures namely the Kilbridge-Wester Heuristic approach and the Helgeson-Birnie Approach. Line Balancing (LB) is a classic, well-researched Operations Research (OR) optimization problem of significant industrial importance. It is one of those problems where domain expertise does not help very much. The specific objectives of this paper is to optimize crew size, system utilization, the probability of jobs being completed within a certain time frame and system design costs. These !
objectives are addressed simultaneously, and the results obtained are compared with those of single-objective approaches. Comparison supplemented with case studies shows the relative superiority of the multi-objective approach in terms of both overall performance and the richness of information.

Abstract: This paper presents the prediction of total AC power output from a grid-photovoltaic system using three-variate artificial neural network (ANN) models. In this study, two-hidden layer feedforward ANN models for the prediction of total AC power output from a grid-connected photovoltaic system have been considered. Three different models were configured based on different sets of ANN inputs. In addition, each model utilizes three types of inputs for the prediction. The first model utilizes solar radiation, wind speed and ambient temperature as its inputs while the second model uses solar radiation, wind speed and module temperature as its inputs. The third model uses solar radiation, ambient temperature and module temperature as its inputs. Nevertheless, all the three models employ similar type of output which is the total AC power produced from the grid-connected system. Data filtering process has been introduced to select the quality data patterns for training proc!
ess, making only the informative features are available. Thus, the regression analysis and root mean square error (RMSE) performance of each model could be enhanced. After the training process is completed, the testing process is performed to decide whether the training process should be repeated or stopped. Besides selecting the best prediction model, this study also exhibits some of the experimental results which illustrate the effectiveness of the data filtering in predicting the total AC power output from a grid-connected system. Each ANN model was tested with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm and scaled conjugate gradient training algorithm to select the best training algorithm for each model. Fully trained ANN model should later be able to predict the AC power output from a set of un-seen data patterns.

Abstract: The research examines the relationship between propensity to connect with others, social networks and job satisfaction. Social networks serve as a social resource which affects job satisfaction through the provision of supportiveness. The characteristics of nursing are life-related and emotion-consumed job. It is argued that both advice and friendship networks are important in a work setting. The research team developed a questionnaire and administered during an on-job training of the nurses. To derive the participants¡¦ advice and friendship networks, they were asked to list the names whom they consulted when they needed to know something about work and whom they considered to be their friends. Job satisfaction and the propensity to connect with others were also measured. The results showed that propensity to make acquaintance and outdegree were correlated with job satisfaction. Most of all, the advice and friendship networks were partially overlapped. It was conc!
luded that the human resource professional shoud care about both formal and informal relationships.

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to speed up the operation of time delay neural networks for fast detecting a word in a speech. The entire data are collected together in a long vector and then tested as a one input pattern. The proposed fast time delay neural networks (FTDNNs) use cross correlation in the frequency domain between the tested data and the input weights of neural networks. It is proved mathematically and practically that the number of computation steps required for the presented time delay neural networks is less than that needed by conventional time delay neural networks (CTDNNs). Simulation results using MATLAB confirm the theoretical computations.

Abstract: The axial displacement fault has very little indication before taking place and the fracture of oil film between thrust disk and tilt pads mainly contributes to this breakdown. Usually this fracture was caused by the contamination of oil or decrease of oil supply pressure which result in losing load bearing capacity of oil film. Also the increase of axial force caused by fluctuation of operation condition can result in the oil film fracture. Both of the above reasons can lead to tilt pads abrasion and emergency shutdown of machine. The method presented in this paper monitors the stiffness of oil film and identifies the reason of axial displacement increasing. By introducing the mechanism of axial displacement fault self-recovering and taking the axial displacement as the control objectives, the axial forces on rotor was controlled on-line and the minimum oil film thickness was ensured in real time. The experiment indicated that the mechanism can realize the axial f!
ault self-recovery effectively, and with this system, the centrifugal compressor doesn¡¯t need to be shut down immediately when the axial displacement fault happens.

Abstract: The creation of knowledge from information can be promoted by proper representations of information which make the inherent logical structure of the information transparent. Since concepts are the basic units of human thought and hence the basic structures of logic, the logical structure of information is based on concepts and concept systems. Methods from the theory of formal concept analysis and frequent set mining are applied for automated extraction of information from students' responses to preliminary tests about their lack of knowledge or misconception of fundamental terms and skills. Personalized recommendations are suggested to each student once possible difficulties in learning a new subject are detected.
Keywords: Decision support services, uncertainty management

Title of the Paper: Supporting VCR Operation in P2P VoD System Using Dynamic Priority

Abstract: Despite the fact that P2P networks have emerged as a powerful and popular paradigm for numerous scalable applications in recent years, this architecture, which provides large-scale VoD services, still allows scope for improvement: 1>How to optimize the network flow by reducing the control overhead. 2>How to support user interactivity efficiently, such as VCR operations and minimize its effect of interrupting other peers playback undesirably. In this paper, we propose a P2P VoD system based on a hierarchical overlay structure called PVDP, which can reduce control overhead by assembling and leaching the reporting and locating messages. This P2P architecture is also designed to support the VCR operation and fault tolerance via defining the segment priority and prefetching the segments. We compare the P2VOD with the PVDP in this paper. The simulation experiments show that compared with the P2VOD, PVDP has lower control overhead and can decrease the effect of the VCR !
operation.
Keywords: P2P, VoD, VCR, Dynamic Priority, Prefetching, Hierarchical Overlay

Abstract: Use Case approach has been one of the popular ways to identify classes and objects in the problem domain for Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA). But critical reviews in the recent past have shown some problems and limitations with Use Cases. This paper describes an Event – based process to identify classes and objects in the problem domain for Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA). Unlike Use Case approach, it captures requirements in terms of Events. E-XTRACT is a tool developed in JAVA, for assisting analysts in identifying, extracting and classifying events from requirements. Events extracted are documented in Event Templates. An Event Meta-Model is proposed that gives basis for defining structural contents of an Event Template. Comparison is also drawn between Event Template and conventional Use Case Template. This paper then introduces mapping rules to generate Class Diagram specification from Event Templates. Finally, it illustrates application of the whole process on a!
Case study. Results have shown that Events can generate a richer and more detailed static model (i.e. a class diagram) from the requirement specifications.

Abstract: In modern society is found that the ultimate goal of any economic production or services is to obtain profits so made products or services are only intermediate steps in the process of obtaining a profit. This work exemplifies a model of complex analysis with applications in cryogenic equipment able to extend the technical analysis in exergoeconomic terms for scientific development. In work are studied two configurations of cryogenic cycles to determine the optimal solution of the associated cryogenic cooling for distillation column of the Pilot Plant for Tritium and Deuterium separation.

Abstract: The generalized methodology for the electronic networks optimization was elaborated by means of the optimal control theory approach. In this case the problem of the electronic system design is formulated as a classical problem of functional minimization of the optimal control theory. The minimal time system design algorithm was defined as a controllable dynamic process with an optimal control vector. By this methodology the aim of the system design process with minimal computer time is presented as a transition process of some dynamic system that has the minimal transition time. The optimal position of the control vector switch points was determined as a principal characteristic of the minimal-time system design algorithm. The special function that is a combination of Lyapunov function of the design process and its time derivative was proposed to predict the optimal control vector to construct an optimal system design algorithm.

Abstract: The well known fuzzy measures, lambda-measure and P-measure, have only one formulaic solution. Two multivalent fuzzy measures with infinitely many solutions were proposed by our previous works, called L-measure and delta-measure, but the former do not include the additive measure as the latter and the latter has not so many measure solutions as the former. Due to the above drawbacks, in this paper, an improved fuzzy measure composed of above both, denoted LD-measure, is proposed. For evaluating the Choquet integral regression models with our proposed fuzzy measure and other different ones, a real data experiment by using a 5-fold cross-validation mean square error (MSE) is conducted. The performances of Choquet integral regression models with fuzzy measure based L-delta-measure, L-measure, delta-measure, lambda-measure, and P-measure, respectively, a ridge regression model, and a multiple linear regression model are compared. Experimental result shows that the Choq!
uet integral regression models with respect to extensional L-measure based on Gamma-support outperforms others forecasting models.
