Enterprise systems (ES) offer integrative business solutions to entire organisations. However, it is often found that other software programs such as spreadsheets, which are one of the most common software used in end user developments (EUD), are used to complement ES in several business processes. This proposal intends to study the complementary role of EUD to ES in budgeting to describe and expl
Schnorr-Euchner (SE) decoding algorithm for MIMO sys tems has been shown to approach the performance of Maximum-likelihood decoder with low complexity. There are two kinds of SE decoder, sequential SE and K-best SE. The lattice reordering, as the preprocessing of the SE de coder, is divided into four modes in this paper, according to post-detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and channel noise lev
Background: Lewy body Dementia (LBD) is a well-known neurocognitive disorder in the elderly. The hallmarks of LBD are Parkinsonism without tremor, recurrent and persistent visual hallucinations often with insight, fluctuating cognition and alertness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder with vivid dreams and violent movements, but relatively preserved memory functions. Nevertheless, LB
The material model consists of a viscoelastic Burgers element and an additional viscoplastic Bingham element when the effective stress exceeds the yield stress. For fully plastic vessel walls, exact closed-form expressions arc derived for the stress and strain state in pressurised or relaxation loaded thick-walled cylinders in plane strain and spheres. For the spherical problem, the material compr
Turbines operating in wind farms are coupled by the wind flow. This coupling results in limited power production and increased fatigue loads on turbines operating in the wake of other turbines. To operate wind farms cost effectively, it is important to understand and address these effects. In this paper, we derive a stationary model for turbine interaction. The model has a simple intuitive structu
Linear movement of open containers containing liquid is considered. The design is based on a simple linearized slosh model. An open-loop acceleration trajectory is calculated using optimal control techniques. The calculated acceleration profiles are evaluated using experiments with a laser-based sensor and recordings by a video camera. The performance is better than previous ad-hoc controllers
