The co-liquefaction of Mukah Balingian (MB) Malaysian coal with the Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) was studied to investigate the synergistic effect by comparing the conversion and product yields. Co-liquefaction results thus far indicate there exists an obvious synergestic effect between MB and PKS, which is depends on liquefaction temperature. Thus far, the results showed that the conversion and oil +...
Functional Size Measurement (FSM) has been widely adopted by software organizations over the past years. In particular, Function Point Analysis (FPA) measurement method as the eldest and the most globally FSM method used. In the middle of 90s, COSMIC measurement method was designed to cover the limitations of previous FSM methods, and to size wider scope of application domains. COSMIC measurement...
Function Point Analysis (FPA) measurement method was proposed primarily to measure the functional size of management information systems. The method has been criticized as an inadequate method to measure the functional size of Real Time (RT) applications. Many extensions have been made to the original method to extend its applicability to size RT applications. The Common Software Measurement International...
This paper presents the initial findings of an exploratory case study on the convertibility between IFPUG and COSMIC Function Points (FP). Even though a number of conversion approaches have been proposed in the literature, no single model has yet gained general acceptance by the software engineering community due to limits on model usage or other constraints. One major factor hindering the research...
The exponential traffic growth and the increasing complexity of WDM networks demand a more sophisticated control protocol that will provide a more efficient use of optical network capacity. Many researchers propose to extend GMPLS protocol suite to activate WDM networks, such as by enhancing OSPF-TE, RSVP-TE, etc., the decentralization of control functions is also an inevitable trend of developing...
This paper describes an effective application of a vocal tract mapping interface to signal conversion. The vocal tract mapping interface is a kind of vocal tract shape generator that provides users with easy and effective setting of the vocal tract shape with a simple mouse click on its interface window. Utilizing a one-click operation to generate the vocal tract shape, an incoming signal can be easily...
We make an investigation into the approach and technique used in database Migration in this paper. Different database migrations such as Oracle, SqlServer are discussed. As an example, we design and implement a migration project for Tsinghua University. This project migrates Oracle RAC into a different platform completely and successfully. At the same time, it will shorten the switch time and minimize...
In this work was consided the method of image representing on the principle of the polar coordinate system to optimize the process of storage and transformation on the plane.
Many state-of-the-art audio codecs operating in a transform domain provide scalability as a core function by allowing to selectively subtract bits -- usually according to a nonperceptual criterion from the full bit rate data stream. This work presents a different, or even reverse, scalability approach in which a scalable codec can selectively add perceptually significant bits to a low bit rate data...
InterAct is a form based User Interfaces (UI) designing framework for non-technical users. It can be used to design UIs for multiple device platforms. The framework mainly consists of two parts, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and a conversion library. The designed UIs are saved in an XML format, IXML. These user sketches are then converted into HTML pages which can be displayed in various...
Distributed Interactive Simulation of Modeling and Simulation in the field of national defense has a problem of interoperability among heterogeneous simulators. The problem is caused of simulators are limited due to environmental, and it is obstacle to interchange the data. Therefore, intermediate standard data format was required to interchange environmental data to solve the problem. SEDRIS were...
In recent technologies media players developed very rapidly but up till today it's not possible to watch the text of that voice. It is needed to fetch a special file to show the word according to the voice. The paper contains a new concept of Audio Media player which does not need any external file fetching to show the corresponding lyrics for regarding audio. This software is purposed to convert...
The HL7 v2.x set of healthcare messaging standards are the predominant ones used by healthcare institutions in much of the world. They have been designed for managing healthcare and so provide a complete set of information and messages necessary for the provision of care. More recently the Continuity of Care Record (CCR) standard was proposed as a digital form of referrals; it describes the condition...
This paper proposes a scalable method which allows deploying the fingerprint Wi-Fi localization algorithm for different devices. The original fingerprint localization algorithm performs accurately only if the device used in the testing phase is the same as the device used in the training phase. When a different device is used in the testing phase, a time-consuming re-training step (in the order of...
Building an enterprise data center is the need of modern enterprise management and decision-making information, SQL SERVER 2005 Integration Services provides for the establishment of a complete enterprise data center solutions. This article discusses the SSIS-based enterprise data center construction process, focusing on the working principle of the SSIS data centers and the establishment of key technologies,...
Dwellings are where the people live in. For a large number of existing traditional dwellings, people are more concerned about its habitability. Aimed at the current situation of residential streets in Quzhou, the article analyzes the influencing factors of the habitability based on the Reconstruction examples of current traditional examples, thinking of the measures that how to improve the living...
This paper optimizes the color space conversion algorithm based on in-depth studies of corresponding technology and the characteristics of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) unit in Vir-tex-5, i.e., DSP48E. A new method of color space conversion, i.e., DSP CSC is proposed based on DSP48E. The simulative result shows that this method can greatly improves the efficiency of color space conversion as well...
A calorific energy is generated during the photovoltaic conversion of the solar module, which increases the temperature of the cell and will cause a fall in its electric output. This phenomenon is, on one hand, due to the partial unabsorptive solar radiation, which constituted the origin of the cell's heating, and on the other hand, due to the Joule effect caused by the passage of the photo-electrical...
The total number of patents applied and granted in Chinese universities has increased rapidly in recent years, but only a tiny fraction of which is valid. That has yielded a conversion rate close to zero and terrible waste of resources. This paper takes analysis of the special phenomenon of the patent foam in Chinese Universities and the cause based on the data from the reports of National Intellectual...
A hybrid algorithm (HA) integrated genetic algorithm (GA) with ant colony optimization (ACO) for solving Traveling Salesman Problems(TSP) was studied to get better optimization performance than each single algorithm, and complement merits each other and avoid each own demerits. The hybrid algorithm runs GA first and then ACO. A new strategy called GSA was proposed aiming at the key link in the HA...
