The concept of reengineering teams is not new to business process change practice and research. However, frameworks that describe the organisational changes that have to be undertaken in order to establish reengineering teams, in particular, are novel. By having such a framework, practitioners and academics alike can determine beforehand what to expect before the actual team is formed. This in ...

An algorithm inferring a boolean linear code from noisy patterns received by a noisy channel, under the assumption of uniform occurrence distribution over the code-words, and an upper bound to the amount of data are presented. A vector quantizer is designed from the noisy patterns, choosing the obtained codebook as code approximation. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that, when...

well-known seismic design codes have offered an alternative equivalent static procedure for practical purposes instead of verifying design trials with complicated step-y-step dynamic analyses. such a pattern of base-shear distribution over the building height will enforce its special stiffness and strength distribution which is not necessarily best suited for seismic design. the present study, ...

The use of a discretization grid in particle-in-cell methods is responsible for the nite-grid instability. The instability is a spurious numerical e ect due to the aliasing of di erent Fourier modes, that are undistinguished by the computational grid but have di erent e ects on the particles. The nite-grid instability has been studied thoroughly in uniform grids [1, 2]; a linear theory has been...

this paper presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation carried out in turbulent forced convection in a tube with helical ribs. enhancement of heat transfer using helically corrugated tubes has beenstudied experimentally by many researchers but there exist a few published numerical analyses results. the paper also introduces the results of heat transfer and friction factor data for inco...

the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...
