ABSTRACT A new approach to model failure-prone FMS is by first decomposing it into a group of closed-loop production lines. To evaluate this approach, the decomposition method of Frein et al (1996) was extended to incorporate failures with repair times having a generalized exponential distribution. It combined and then extended the work of Dallery et […]

ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a very important component of the global carbon cycle, and the fate of SOC will have an important impact on the future global climate. Moreover healthy soils are not only more productive from an agricultural point of view, but they also provide other key ecosystem services. Maintaining a healthy […]

ABSTRACT The design of a stripline fed network producing a conical beam circular polarized microstrip patch array antenna is presented in this article. A circularly-polarized conical-beam microstrip patch antenna, with a coplanar conductor pattern, is realized as an array of a number of stripline-fed slotted patches whose diagonal corners are cut off and whose feed […]

ABSTRACT Floodplains are land areas adjacent to rivers and streams that are subject to recurring inundation. Owing to their continually changing nature, floodplains and other flood-prone areas need to be examined in the light of how they might affect or be affected by development A Floodplain is the normally dry land area adjoining river or […]

ABSTRACT Friction welding is a complex process that involves material, thermal, physical and chemical changes. To understand this process better, modeling plays an important role. Thermal modeling of the process has been carried out extensively by many of the previous researchers.  But only few of the researchers address the thermo-mechanical phenomenon involved in the friction […]

ABSTRACT A buffer is a sequential section of memory allocated to contain anything from a character string to an array of integers. A buffer overflow or buffer overrun occurs when more data is put into a fixed-length buffer than that the buffer can handle. Adjacent memory space becomes overwritten and corrupted. In computer security and […]

ABSTRACT This paper presents the design of triangular microstrip patch antenna at 1.6 GHz Further by applying fractal geometry to the star shaped antenna Koch Snowflake Fractal Antenna is designed. The Koch snowflake antenna is used for size reduction. To improve gain and bandwidth, suspended technique is used. The self similar and space-filling property of […]

ABSTRACT A IRIS recognition system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique iris feature. Iris recognition is considered as one of the most unique and exact biometric recognition system. In this paper, we implement a new technique for the development of Iris Recognition System, additionally results has been analyzed and compared with […]

ABSTRACT Power quality requirement is one of the most important issues for power distribution system. Voltage sag and swells are major power quality issue in distribution system due to non linear loads and superconducting devices use in power electronics converters. To compensate these problems, custom power devices are used. Today the custom power device DVR […]

ABSTRACT Component based software engineering has become a modern approach for software development. It is a multifaceted approach in complex scenarios that focuses on “develop once reuse multiple times” methodology. As per user requirements, the components from repository are selected and integrated to develop software. It helps developers to deliver high quality softwares within a […]
