Air pollution is one of the major issues about the diesel engines in todays' world. It is a special concern in those areas that have difficulty meeting health-based outdoor air quality standards. Natural gas has low emission and resource abundance and also conventional compression ignition engine can be easily converted to a dual fuel mode to use natural gas as main fuel and diesel as pilot ...

Many UPS inverters used in todays technology are more efficient and reliable. In this paper we propose a UPS inverter controlled by space vector PWM technique with extended Lyapunov function control strategy which is formed by the energy storage in inductor and capacitor making the system to converge at an equilibrium point when the energy is continuously dissipated. Therefore, an extended Lyap...

Todays IoT solutions are typically delivered by domainspecific solution providers. In these solutions, components are highly customized for specific project requirements, limiting their users to the offerings of their providers. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel mechanism that opens the market for OEMs and third-party developers. This paper introduces the IoT Application Market,...

Celiac and Tropical Sprue are malabsorptive diseases with similar clinical manifestations and histological findings. While, Celiac sprue is a known cause of malabsorption in the Western world, Tropical sprue is relatively uncommon and often overlooked by the medical community. Misdiagnosis can result in delay of adequate treatment in a patient with Tropical Sprue. We present a patient with a Tr...

Many researchers agreed that the split of locator and identifier seems to be a very promising approach. Although this solution addresses the most critical issues in todays Internet architecture, new challenges arise through the mapping system which is necessary to resolve identifiers into the corresponding locators. One interesting question is how the naming of identifiers is done. In this work...

This contribution aims to provide a starting point for discussions on how to build knowledge infrastructures that contribute to organizational value chains. Knowledge is recognized as the most important ressource in todays knowledge intensive organizations and knowledge infrastructures provide a fundament for effective management of relevant knowledge within organizations. After motivating the ...

Todays operating systems are designed to manage multiple processes within uniprocessor systems, within several processors and even within distributed computer systems. Fundamental to this design is concurrency, especially mutual exclusion of multiple processes. All mutual exclusion techniques so far are designed to bother all involved processes. The first part of this paper shows an overview of...

We present a parallel Preconditioned BiConjugate Gradient Stabilized(BICGstab) solver for the Poisson problem. Given a real, nosymmetric and positive definite coefficient matrix , the parallized Preconditioned BICGstab -solver is able to find a solution for that system by exploiting the massive compute power of todays GPUs.Comparing sequential CPU implementations and that algorithm.we achieve a...

The design processes of todays more and more complex automation systems require computer-based support to maintain their manageability. As a base for that, the authors introduce a holistic design approach for these systems. Requirements on the system to be designed are represented by an extended feature model which serves as consistent requirements model during the entire design process. A gram...

Although the role of positive emotions is important in sales, personal happiness remains understudied selling context. Grounded broaden-and-build theory, this study aims to examine relationships among happiness, job involvement, satisfaction and salesperson flourishing. For salespeople, new demands a connected world have largely blurred boundaries between their life work life. It has allowed fr...
