A secure information infrastructure is required to sustain competitive advantage. Despite creditable efforts, there are visible failures of Information Security (IS). Breach data offers necessary relatively unbiased and robust feedback to reveal what is overlooked for apt countermeasures and improved…

In industrialized countries manufacturing firms are facing significant change resulting from mass customization, shortening product life cycles, increasing technological change, and the entry of international competitors into their markets as witnessed by the automotive and electronics industries. ‘Process Innovation’ is…

Modeling the dry compressive strength of sodium silicate bonded kaolin refractory bricks was studied. The materials used for this research work included refractory clay obtained from Ijero-Ekiti (7º 49´N and 5º 5´E) kaolin deposit, and sodium silicate obtained from the…

High pressure/High temperature operations remain a high challenge for the industry as deeper reservoir operations are pursued around the globe. In addition to deeper depths, an increasing number of wells are still being drilled and completed in much more hostile…

The research designed controllers for buildings which are subjected to earthquakes. The designed nonlinear controllers ought to be able to significantly reduce the floor displacements when a building is subjected to earthquakes. All the controllers were simulated based on the…

SVM and Simulated Annealing Algorithms were applied to grid resources prediction. In order to build an effective SVR model, the parameters must be selected with attention. Here, a simulated annealing algorithm-based SVR (SA-SVR) model has been developed to determine the…

In order to save energy of the aluminum industrial production, the K-means algorithm and threshold cluster analysis algorithm were used, and the classification of the energy consumption data of the aluminum industrial production is completed with Matlab simulation. We compared…

Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) is the very important application field of engineering. Computer auxiliary examination management system is the important link of the Computer Aided Instruction, and it is an effective means for teaching evaluation. We found an application of…

In this paper, an investigation for the enhancement strategy of bandwidth performance and analysis of different types of losses associated with reflectarray antennas was carried out. Studies are carried out using different commercially available dielectric materials with dielectric permittivity values.…

It is widely agreed that the radio waves are more complex in confined environments, such as coal mine tunnels and buildings. In this paper tried to interpret propagation characterists of radio wave in the confined environments of mine tunnel. We…
