Enterprise wide large scale process modeling initiatives are becoming increasingly common among enterprises in all industry domains. Since such initiatives are operationally cumbersome, it becomes essential to assess the maturity and implementation of enterprise wide process modeling program on a regular basis. Though there are numerous research reports relating to maturity assessment for busin...

a one–dimensional, transient and thermal degradation model for predicting responses of composite materials when are exposed to the fire is presented. the presented model simulates ablation of composites with different layers of materials and considers material properties as functions of temperature. the reactions are modeled by using arrhenius-type parameters and density-temperature diagrams wh...

thermal modeling of an automotive cabin was performed in this paper to predict the inside cabin air temperature. to implement this task, thermal and ventilation loads were estimated and the mass and energy balance conservation equations for dry air and water vapor with considering a new parameter (air circulation ratio) as well as the balance equations of internal components of a cabin were der...

This paper presents and discusses findings from a study where the use of enterprise modeling has been empirically investigated in eight combined process change and information technology initiatives. Artifacts, guidelines and tools used in enterprise modeling practice are identified. We identify three types of barriers to enterprise modeling: Challenges, Resistance and Moderators. We compare th...

Interorganizational systems (IOS) adoption requires cooperation and collaboration between trading partners and, therefore, is reliant on the nature of their relationships. There has been some research that investigates relationships and how organizations progress from one level to the next level of adoption. However, these studies do not adequately justify the exclusion of other variables and a...

The broad areal extent of the WCSB and the availability of samples throughout the basin provide an excellent framework for studying organic matter micropore morphometrics in relation with thermal maturity. Imaging and pore characterization of the samples from Colorado Group of the WCSB has been conducted using the FIB/ SEM system (LEO (Zeiss) 1540XB) in Western University's Nanofabrication Faci...
