This study aims to discuss the use of robustness analysis in evaluation and selection the strategies of an organization based on a matrix approach. The proposed technique can overcome the weakness of the robustness analysis model related to reviewing a few future scenarios and also, make it possible to in a short time include the ideas of the decision makers who participate in the strategic pla...

Vision systems for various tasks are increasingly being deployed. Although significant effort has gone into improving the algorithms for such tasks, there has been relatively little work on determining optimal sensor configurations. This paper addresses this need. We specifically address and enhance the state-of-the-art in the analysis of scenarios where there are dynamically occuring objects c...

The use of Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) as off-board sensor platforms for complex missions such as MCM reconnaissance requires an acoustic communication link for command and control as well as mission data product upload. The communications link needs to be robust and useful in a number of different scenarios. These scenarios include a variety of frequency regimes and a number of different...

Subarcsecond scale Keck images of the youngA1V star, 49 Ceti, resolve emission at k 1⁄4 12:5 and 17.9 m from a disk with long axis at position angle (P.A.) 125 10 and inclination 1⁄4 60 15 . At 17.9 m, the emission is brighter andmore extended toward the northwest (NW) than the southeast (SE).Modeling of themid-infrared images combined with flux densities from the literature indicate that the b...

the significant consumption of gas in the world results in the emission of greenhouse gases into atmosphere. abadan refinery has always been the biggest and oldest oil refinery in the middle east and has a variety of refined products. after six months of collecting data about pollutant concentration emitted from a stack of old furnaces of units 75 and new unit 200, the emission factor of the po...

This paper describes an instrumentation system for positron emission tomography (PET). A variety of [1-(11)C]labelled aldoses, such as [1-(11)C]-D-glucose, and galactose by a modification of the Kiliani-Fischer method have been produced. The instrumentation is fully automatic and consists of a synthesis system and control system. The synthesis system has the following functions: supplying reage...

In the past decade, fuel consumption and CO2 emission have increased in the airline industry. Large CO2 footprint has a damaging effect on the environment. Global concerns over this issue has made the airline industry to be greener. Most efforts of the green airline industry are improving the fuel consumption to reduce the CO2 emission and its environmental damage. Here, we use cruise speed con...

We report on the first results of a search for molecular hydrogen emission from protoplanetary disks using CRIRES, ESO's new VLT Adaptive Optics high resolution near-infrared spectrograph. We observed the classical T Tauri star LkHα 264 and the debris disk 49 Cet, and searched for υ = 1 − 0 S(1) H 2 emission at 2.1218 µm, υ = 1 − 0 S(0) H 2 emission at 2.2233 µm and υ = 2 − 1 S(1) H 2 emission ...

Large C and C++ softwa¡e projects typically share common types, macros, and variables among modules via include files organized into hierarchies. Many of these hierarchies grow so complex that it is haed for programmers to figure out when a file must be included. Since including unused symbols is usually harmless, application code tends to include more files than required. Knowing when ñles are...

We present a stochastic Petri net model of a replicated file system in a distributed environment where replicated files reside on different hosts and a voting algorithm is used to maintain consistency. Witnesses, which simply record the status of the file but contain no data, may be used in addition to or in place of files to reduce overhead. We present a model sufficiently detailed to include ...
