One of the anxieties of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is cyclical behavior of banks that has been addressed in its new Basel III framework. The 'countercyclical buffer' particularly targets at the extenuation of the allegedly harmful behavior of bank capital. Mainstream discourses on the subject usually assess a pro-cyclical behavior of banks' surplus capital but this paper examines mostly...
The middle income trap is escaped by an increase in gross domestic product (GDP). In Thailand, its achievement is mainly influenced by automotive industry as a production base. It has consequences on suppliers providing materials and auto-parts to motor vehicle assemblers (original equipment manufacturers: OEMs) and aftermarket suppliers (replacement equipment manufacturers: REMs). The escape from...
In the past, many software reliability models have been proposed by several researchers. Several model selection criteria such as Akaike's information criterion, mean square errors, predicted relative error and so on, are used for the selection of optimal software reliability models. These assessment criteria can be useful for the software managers to assess the past trend of fault data. However,...
Solar radio burst originated at the layer of the atmosphere where the Geo-effective disturbance occurred which energy will be released in solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) will be launched. Solar Radio Burst can be divided into 5 types and determined by using the Log Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) and e-CALLISTO system. The LPDA was set up in a 45-870 MHz range in frequency and has maximum...
Quality has been regarded as one of the most important factors for achieving competitive advantage with an emphasis on excellence. Achieving excellence through quality award is a challenging task, but sustaining this achievement is even more challenging. Given the importance and benefits of continuously practicing with a quality award to organizations, very limited empirical research has been carried...
The solar radio bursts are the results of solar flares take place on the surface of the Sun. Some of them could reach the surface of the Earth and can be detected by the ground base antenna. The CALLISTO system is used to interpret the radio bursts that have been detected by the antenna before the results appeared on the computer's screen. The CALLISTO system consists of software and hardware with...
Abstract-Recent dramatic development of science and technology has made optoelectronic devices, a crucial pole in many sophisticated systems, more powerful, accurate and complicated than ever. As a result, the development of these optoelectronic products not only increases the complexity of their structures, but leads to increasing challenge to predict the reliability of them. Based on this situation,...
The article presents a design of behavior logic for an autonomous robot at 2D mapping of the area. The robot decision is based on the fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic to enable to deduce conclusions based on imprecise description of the given situation using linguistically formulated fuzzy IF-THEN rules. These rules are integrated to the robot's programmable device. The robot construction was based...
HTML prototypes are regarded as a kind of Evolutionary prototypes. During the evolutionary development, the prototype is refined and rebuilt. The creation of prototype description document is also required as the supplementary. Windows Navigation Diagram (WND) is usually part of the prototype description document, serving as the design model of user interfaces. Since the document preparation demands...
Internet of Things is expected to offer promising solution to transform the operation and the role of many existing industrial systems. It is also increasingly seen as an engine of development in many systems and fields. Supply chain performance measurement is one of these systems that might be significantly affected by Internet of Things evolution. In the last few decades, many standards and models...
Rising electricity prices for industrial companies result in increasing energy costs and thus lower international competitiveness. Due to increasing electricity price fluctuations, savings in energy costs without capital-intensive investments are possible by implementing specific organizational methods to process energy-intensive orders at times of low prices and energy-low orders at times of high...
Strictly keep delivery date is the life of the manufacturing enterprise indefinitely. Especially in the developing countries such as China, labor-intensive enterprise is still the mainstay industry. As a result, assembly line is widely used as a manufacturing process for reducing costs and production time. However, laborer is the main factor of production speed in such a labor-intensive enterprise...
We should complete customized products in specified time to implement smart factories. For this simulation can work as a tool for validating production schedule. We propose in the manuscript a simulation model for sewing machine and modeling tool for simulation of sewing process.
Current efforts in manufacturing and logistics research focus on developing innovative systems that enable enterprises to respond faster and more effective to changing market conditions, thus, paving the way for the fourth industrial revolution. Amongst others, an intensified collaboration within supply chains on the basis of virtualized processes is agreed to be a promising approach. Especially also...
This paper presents a novel hybrid MCDM approach based on concepts of fuzzy DEMATEL, ANP, and fuzzy TOPSIS to address air traffic congestion in the Philippines. The proposed approach enables the decision-makers under the Air Traffic Services (ATS) to elicit judgment on which ATFM action (i.e., ground holding, airborne holding, rerouting, and speed controlling) is most suitable to be applied in the...
Wax deposition can cause serious problem to crude oil transportation especially in offshore transport pipelines. It is cause by the heat transfer between the crude oil and the surrounding if there is no or insufficient thermal insulation layer coating on the pipeline. Cause of the wax deposition in the pipeline will lead to a smaller flow diameter of the pipeline, thus will results in flow restriction...
