A uniform lateral tension profile is of great importance in web transport: much wastage and costly plant down-time problems arise when this is not attained. Until recently there has been no accurate way of determining this tension profile, and hence no way of implementing a web tension profile control system. We describe a novel measurement system that is currently under development that aims to address...
Pool of knowledge available to the mankind depends on the source of learning resources, which can vary from ancient printed documents to present electronic material. The rapid conversion of material available in traditional libraries to digital form needs a significant amount of work if we are to maintain the format and the look of the electronic documents as same as their printed counterparts. Most...
In this paper, we propose an initiative for sustainable development with advanced growing Nanotechnology. We combined the vast scope of Nanomaterial with wireless networks and came up with a unique idea of generating a network zone in areas which are prone to be remote due to natural calamities. Nowadays, it is important for every human to stay connected with the world every second. Expectation to...
The focus of this research was to use Educational Data Mining (EDM) techniques to conduct a quantitative analysis of students interaction with an e-learning system through instructor-led non-graded and graded courses. This exercise is useful for establishing a guideline for a series of online short courses for them. A group of 412 students' access behaviour in an e-learning system were analysed and...
Due to the professionalism and particularity of the power equipment, a reasonable inventory equipment quota forecasting and purchasing plan can guarantee the electrical power construction and maintenance work smoothly. Furthermore, an accurate quota forecasting can also save a large volume of liquid funds for the power companies. This paper establishes a reasonable spare parts demand forecasting and...
This paper presents the electric breakdown arc behavior of micro electrical contact with respect to electric field across contact gap. The breakdown electric field characteristics of Al, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Pt are reported. The 3D plane-plane micro electrical contact has been considered and maximum electric field is analyzed mathematically. Also the considered electrode has been simulated using COMSOL...
We present here our recent result on reducing the losses of a multiple-folded tunable microstrip line phase shifter based on liquid crystal (LC) for the regime of low microwave (MW) frequencies. It is shown that the insertion and return losses can be decreased through the minimization of the electromagnetic (EM) wave discontinuities in the folded microstrip line structure. Based on a modified 6-folded...
The paper describes the application of heterogeneous computational infrastructures to study complex metallurgical processes. This goal is achieved by integration of a domain-oriented system (VirtRoll) with a platform for massive parameter studies (Scalarm) on the basis of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In particular, technological and security aspects of the integration and permissions delegation...
This paper will focus on how ICT in the classroom could really work to provide the children the education they need in this 21st century. Learning for children with the use of ICT in the classroom can work if teachers have the ability and skills to integrate ICT in their classroom. This is where the headmasters play a crucial role, if the teachers are supported by the surrounding education system...
The growth of micro, small and medium enterprises of fashion industry in Bandung is very rapidly and thus the industry has to face the growing competitiveness challenge. The implementation of ERP is considered to be a strategy to support sales growth, increase management ability, enhance marketing network and also strengthen the company competitiveness. In order to be effectively implemented to achieve...
Plagiarism is a serious problem identified amongst research community. Plagiarism has been around for centuries, but with the use of Internet and easy access to material in electronic format has made it easier to plagiarize materials of others. On the other hand plagiarism detection is now as easy as plagiarizing a document. There are a number of anti-plagiarism software available either freely or...
With the development of digital technology, libraries are changing their roles from book providers to e-information providers. Manuscripts are primary source of historic information. Manuscripts are diminishing along with the time. Despite their best efforts, it is difficult to save manuscripts in physical form beyond a time frame. Digital preservation of manuscripts restores it from damage, larceny...
This paper reports a study of institutional archives at urban and metropolitan universities that are members of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU). Founded in 1990, the CUMU is an organization of North American institutions of higher education committed to the shared mission to use the power of their campuses in education, research and service to enhance the communities in...
At present, developing and managing a collection of e-resources is an essential responsibility of any university library in Sri Lanka, especially in order to go in parallel with their counterparts in developed world. However, these electronic resources are expensive and inevitable at the same time. This paper sheds light on the importance and utilization of e-resources, and discusses about the current...
2.5D IC is an important transition product of 3D IC in the next generation. It has very important commercial value. However, at present 2.5D IC package process has numerous issues that need to be overcome, especially for interface delamination caused by warpage under reflow temperature. Conventionally, the material adopted for the passivation (PA) layer in 2.5D IC package is inorganic metal glass...
In 3D-IC packages, the Si-to-Si stacking is joint by u-bump which has fine gap structure and high bump count. Because of the high density structure, the flux clean process face challenges. So, non-clean flux is another alternative. However, the flux residue can cause reliability issue such as UF delamination, corrosive relation, electro-migration due to the residue from flux. To reduce the flux residue...
Programming course is a fundamental and compulsory course in Information Technology field such as Informatics and Computer Science department. But many undergraduate students face difficulties to comprehend the basic concept of logic and algorithm in programming. Programming course is normally taught in classroom and also by using e-learning. But e-learning based on LMS (Learning Management System),...
Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) is one of the latest packaging trends in microelectronics. Mold embedding for this technology is currently done on wafer level up to 12”/300 mm size. For higher productivity and therewith lower costs larger mold embedding form factors are forecasted for the near future. Following the wafer level approach then the next step will be a reconfigured wafer size of...
Institutional Repositories (IR) are developed primarily for collecting, preserving and disseminating the intellectual output of an institution. This knowledge assists in sharing and learning of an institution. For the successful set up of an Institutional Repository, strategic planning is required with a predetermined goal and scope as well. This paper is a case study of setting up a digital Institutional...
Recent cloud computing communication strongly requires an order of magnitude higher bandwidth. For example, the maximum rate prescribed for SerDes and Interlaken is 28Gbps. This trend can be observed in new enterprise servers or enterprise routers. Boards and cards for enterprise devices are often relatively large, e.g., 300mm × 500mm, with more than 60 layers. Fine pitch wiring of over 300mm length...
