pH SENSOR The final control element can be a pump or an ON/OFF valve. Sizing of the final control element is complicated and depends on many factors. This is one situation where a titration curve can be invaluable. In many cases, it may be necessary to use two final control elements, each delivering different amounts of chemical and having different setpoints. For example, one valve may deliver...

We present the results of our further investigation of the Gas Electron Mutiplier (GEM) photomultiplier consisting of a solid CsI photocathode coupled to a cascade of GEMs. It operates with mixtures of pure noble gases or with noble gases having small additives of nitrogen or methane. The GEM photomultiplier (GPM) reaches multiplication factors of 105}106, allowing for detection of single photo...

Um im Wettbewerb zu bestehen, müssen Unternehmen ihre durch Anwendungssysteme (semi-) automatisierten Geschäftsprozesse flexibel ändern können. Hier sind u.a. Workflow-Management-Systeme (WfMSe) in Kombination mit Service-orientierten Architekturen (SOAn) einsetzbar. Das WfMS dient der Steuerung von Service-Aufrufen innerhalb von Geschäftsprozessen. Mittels Geschäftsprozess-Controlling werden P...

Reducing data center power consumption is an important challenge with the increase in the demand for their services. We propose a Global Power Manger (GPM) for data centers. Global Power Manager migrates services around the data center with the goal of minimizing energy consumption in the data center. GPM has a holistic view of the data center and can considers any power-consuming element, such...

This paper refers to the project GPM-SME – FP6-005857, included within the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission, in its CRAFT Programme. The goal of this document is to present the main concepts of Global Performance Management and how the GPM-SME consortium pursues to develop a framework to improve the competitive capability of companies and their network visibility, specially de...

Nowadays, interval comparison matrices (ICM) take an important role in decision making under uncertainty. So it seems that a brief review on solution methods used in ICM should be useful. In this paper, the common methods are divided into four categories that are Goal Programming Method (GPM), Linear Programming Method (LPM), Non-Linear Programming Method (NLPM) and Statistic Analysis (SA). GPM...

The evaluation of satellite precipitation products (SPPs) at regional and local scales is essential in improving satellite-based algorithms and sensors, as well as in providing valuable guidance when choosing alternative precipitation data for the local community. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) has made significant contributions to the development of various SPPs since its launc...

BACKGROUND By taking parameters into account that describe the variability of continuously monitored glucose and long-term metabolic control [hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)], the glucose pentagon model (GPM) allows characterization of the glucose profile of individual patients with diabetes in a graphical format. A glycemic risk parameter (GRP) derived from this model might allow a better prognosis of ...

One of the main challenges for the development of spatial information theory is the formalization of the concepts of space and spatial relations. Currently, most spatial data structures and spatial analytical methods used in GIS embody the notion of space as a set of absolute locations in a Cartesian coordinate system, thus failing to incorporate spatial relations which are dependent on topolog...

Geschäftsprozessmanagement wird seit mehreren Jahrzehnten in vielen Unternehmen und Organisationen für unterschiedliche Aufgaben von der Prozessmodellierung über die Prozessanalyse bis hin zur Prozessausführung mittels IT-Systemen eingesetzt. Parallel dazu sind in den letzten Jahren Werkzeuge zur Unterstützung des Personal Networking, des Informationsaustauschs und der Zusammenarbeit entstanden...
