A common goal of Engineering Technology programs is to produce highly qualified graduates serving industry and the society. They need to provide students with not only practical hands-on experience, but also with the critical thinking and technical skills to solve the problems and challenges that graduates will face in their professional careers. Engineering Technology programs need then to ant...

Aluminium castings have been widely used in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, telecommunication, construction, consumer products, etc., due to their lightweight, good electric and thermal conductivity, electromagnetic interference/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding properties. The main applications of aluminium are automotive industry. For lighweighting purposes, m...

The demand for wireless communication systems in industry has grown in recent years. Industrial wireless communications open up a number of new possibilities for highly flexible and efficient automation solutions. However, a good part of the industry refuses to deploy wireless solutions products due to the high reliability requirements in industrial communications that are not achieved by actua...

objective: field experiment was conducted in 2009 to investigate the effects of plant density and weed interference on morphological characteristics and yield of corn (zea mays, l.) at research station of university of tabriz, tabriz, iran. methods: the experiment was arranged as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. plant density (d1, d2, d3 and d4: 5, 7...

abstract to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on growth indices of red bean cultivars with different growth habit, a field experiment was carried out during the spring 2009 at university of zanjan as a factorial split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design, with three replications. main plots included factorial of three red bean cultivars (derakhshan (stand...

The current study applied a fault tree analysis to represent the causal relationships among events and causes that contributed to fatal falls in the construction industry. Four hundred and eleven work-related fatalities in the Taiwanese construction industry were analyzed in terms of age, gender, experience, falling site, falling height, company size, and the causes for each fatality. Given tha...

Abstract: The experiences of industrial clusters around the world indicate that there is no fixed and standard pattern of formation and development of industry cluster. All localities should actively explore an industry cluster mode with its local characteristics to further enhance the competitiveness. There has been wide concern about China's textile industry cluster when it appears. The resea...

in this paper, we examine target detection in the surveillance channels of fm-based passive bistatic radars (fbpbrs) in the presence of interference signals in the reference channels of these systems. to do so, we propose a new signal conditioning algorithm to remove interference signals form reference channel. simulation results show that the proposed signal conditioning algorithm outperform t...
