BACKGROUND Karasek and Theorell's Job Demands-Control Model argues that adverse health-related outcomes, both psychological and physiological, arise from a combination of high job demand and a low level of job control. The objective was to adapt Meijman and Kompier's Bus Drivers' Job Demands Scale (BDJD-24), which enables us to assess the job demands of bus drivers, to Spanish. METHOD The fin...

Reactive power plays an important role in supporting real power transmission, maintaining system voltages within proper limits and overall system reliability. In this paper, the production cost of reactive power, cost of the system transmission loss, investment cost of capacitor banks and absolute value of total voltage deviation (TVD) are included into the objective function of the power flow ...

Distributed Generations (DGs) are utilized to supply the active and reactive power in the transmission and distribution systems. These types of power sources have many benefits such as power quality enhancement, voltage deviation reduction, power loss reduction, load shedding reduction, reliability improvement, etc. In order to reach the above benefits, the optimal placement and sizing of DG is...

Twomajor trends can be observed in modern system-on-chip design: first the growing trend in system complexity results in a sharp increase of communication traffic on the on-chip communication bus architectures. The second trend in technology scaling indicates that the wires are getting thinner and results in increment of wire delay. These trends, taken together, designing on-chip communication ...

This design using FPGA parallel architecture, high computing speed and high-speed reliability of USB2.0 interface, designed an FPGA + USB2.0 + computer FIR digital filter system, organically combining the speed of FPGA and flexibility of Computer through USB2.0 bus. The results demonstrated that the coefficients configuring of the system is easy, which can adjust the filter coefficients flexibl...

The Paderkickers are a robot soccer team that makes heavy use of automotive technology Uke C167 micro-controllers or communication over CAN bus. All sensor data is processed on these decentralized embedded nodes to yield a high degree of reliability and hardware layer abstraction. In this paper, we describe how the complex system copes with perception and action in real-time and integrates it i...

Excellent book is always being the best friend for spending little time in your office, night time, bus, and everywhere. It will be a good way to just look, open, and read the book while in that time. As known, experience and skill don't always come with the much money to acquire them. Reading this book with the PDF reliability and statistics in geotechnical engineering will let you know more t...

In a competitive energy market, system reliability should be maintained at all times. Power system operation being of online in nature, the energy balance requirements must be satisfied to ensure reliable operation the system. To achieve this, information regarding the expected status of the system, the scheduled transactions and the relevant inputs necessary to make either a transaction contra...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Hybrid network CAN bus ISA100.11a delay characteristic End-to-end delay In this paper, we present a framework for building a hybrid network composed of Controller Area Network (CAN) bus and ISA100.11a industrial wireless network. The end-to-end delay of CAN-ISA100.11a hybrid network is evaluated. One scheme is proposed based on time slot configuration in ISA100.1...
