In the face of changing technology, the world is becoming more global by the minute. This globalization has resulted in dispersed teams and collaborative opportunities, which offer value and depth to projects. Software development also reflects this globalization, as do all the processes involved in software development. It is important to understand these changes and how they affect not only t...

In this paper we describe an implementation and modeling of a novel fatigue monitoring sensor based on integration of piezoelectric transduction with floating gate avalanche injection. The miniaturized sensor enables continuous battery-less monitoring and failure predictions of biomechanical implants. Measured results from a fabricated prototype in a 0.5μm CMOS process demonstrate excellent agr...

This study investigates the problem of scheduling gantry cranes, which are the main handling equipment in railway container terminals. Since the gantry cranes share two common tracks, some interference constraints are considered for the scheduling problem. The scheduling problem is formulated as an integer programming model. In the view of the high computational complexity, a Particle Swarm Opt...

The main purpose of this study is to introduce a new continuous-time Common-mode Feedback Circuit (CMFB) based on Differential-Difference Amplifier (DDA) in order to achieve high speed, high loopgain, and simultaneously low distortion characteristics. Two control voltages with opposite variations used in the proposed CMFB make the loop-gain and speed enhancement of the circuit. Additionally, re...
