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…
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…
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…
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 …
