The increasing importance being placed on software quality has led to a large number of new measures being proposed for quality design principles such as coupling. Given the importance of object-oriented development techniques, object-oriented metrics are needed to measure diffe…

It is a well-known fact that installation of capacitors in power systems, especially at the distribution levels, results in considerable economical benefits. However, the extent to which these benefits are achieved depends on how the capacitors are placed on the system. Due to t…
Finite time thermodynamic models which simulate the working of actual vapor compression refrigeration systems are developed. The characteristic performance curves of the refrigeration systems that include simple vapor compression system, mechanical subcooling and two-stage syste…
A key part of a fruit fly's development is the formation of segmentsin its body. These structures are built by the protein forms of so-called segment polarity (SP) genes. It is the asymmetric expression of SP genes which creates the fruit-fly's segmental structure. The SP genes …
Self-healing systems promise operating cost reductions in large-scale computing environments through the automated detection of, and recovery from, faults. However, at present there appears to be little known empirical evidence comparing the different approaches, or demonstratio…
The current generation of Airbus long-range civil transport aircraft actively control the centre of gravity of the aircraft by adjusting the fuel distribution between the horizontal tail surface and the forward tanks in order to minimise cruise drag. Here, it is proposed that th…
The general topic of this research is scientific success and the form it might takekhatejadidin sociology. The recent resurgence of evolutionary thinking across the socialkhatejadidsciences has potentially positive implications for sociology and its understandingkhatejadidof soc…
Intentional communities have a long history in the United States and across the globe. In recent years, the number of intentional communities has spiked, drawing interest from the media as well as the general public. Intentional communities are generally organized around one or …
Legacy binaries need to continue functioning even when no source code has been preserved, to support the workflows of government and industry. The binaries often lack recent improvements in compiler design and software engineering practices, causing them to be slower and less se…
Systems thinking is an umbrella term which encompasses both systematic thinking and systemic thinking. Systematic thinking is characterized by a logic flow of repeatable and predictable actions in order to accomplish an aim in a system. Systemic thinking is characterized by the …
