Abstract :

This paper presents an experimental study of the rabbit eardrum spectral dynamic response by using the laser interferometric technique. Michelson laser interferometer was setup and used for this purpose.

The results showed that the vibration response of the rabbits eardrums in the presence of sound waves are changing mainly according to the frequencies of these sound waves stimulus. The spectral resulted curves revealed a similarity and linearity especially along the low frequency range (500 – 3500 Hz) for normal and healthy rabbits eardrums.

The results of the spectral vibration response for healthy rabbits eardrum represent a useful reference for the diagnosis of hearing problems related to the eardrum lesions.

Abstract :

Phase-Locked Loop, an electronic circuit that controls an oscillator so that it maintains a constant phase angle (i.e., lock) on the frequency of an input, or reference, signal. A PLL ensures that a communication signal is locked on a specific frequency and can also be used to generate, modulate and demodulate a signal and divide a frequency. PLL is used often in wireless communications where the oscillator is usually at the receiver and the input signal is extracted from the signal received from the remote transmitter. Design  a low power fast-locking PLL by reducing delay and power consumption in gpdk 45nm technology using cadence virtuoso environment. For this purpose,  we have designed various individual blocks of PLL by taking into consideration various parameters and simulated. The various blocks are Phase Frequency Detector (PFD), Charge Pump, Loop Filter, Current starved Voltage Controlled Oscillator(CSVCO) and Frequency Divider(FD). Here current starved voltage controlled oscillator have been considered for  superior performance in form of low power consumption and wide tunable frequency range. The simulation is carried out in the Spectre simulator. The simulation results of PLL and its blocks are reported in this work. It is found that the designed PLL consumes 81.63 uW power from a 1.8V D.C. supply and have a lock time 41.47ns

Abstract :

Spontaneous imbibition is of crucial importance to oil recovery from reservoirs. Spontaneous imbibition involves the displacement of the non-wetting fluid by the wetting fluid in a porous medium by capillary forces. The measurements of volume of liquid imbibed versus time are usually used to predict oil recovery

This paper presents experimental data for cocurrent spontaneous imbibition into cores with different porosity and permeability. Experiments were performed using Niger Delta sandstone core samples. Core samples were initially saturated with brine. Two types of Synthetic reservoir brine were used as the wetting phase: A high salinity and a low salinity brine. Crude oil samples of different viscosities were then injected into the core samples. Oil recovery from the low salinity brine was about 30% higher than that of high salinity brine.

The Correlation of the experimental data for imbibition of brine into porous media was achieved through a semi-empirical scaling group and an analytical scaling group which include permeability, porosity, interfacial tension (IFT), viscosity of oil and brine, the size, shape and boundary conditions of the rock sample. The semi-empirical model could not scale the entire experimental data obtained at different interfacial tensions and permeabilities rather it could only scale the experimental data at a particular IFT and permeability. The analytical scaling group gave a satisfactory correlation of the experimental data at different IFT and permeability.

Abstract :

Economists have come to an understanding that governance is one of the important aspect explaining the difference in performance of a country across the globe. As a developing nation such as Samoa, governance is the key issue, and this study aims at exploring relationships between government governance proxied by five dimensions of World Governance Indicators (WGI) i.e. (voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, control of corruption) and economic development is proxied by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Moreover, it also aims at determining which of the five aforementioned variables that contributes most on the economic development. Statistical tools such as Spearman’s rho correlation and Multi linear regression were used to test the hypotheses and the model, using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). The data was collected from the World Bank related to Samoa covering the period of 1996-2014. The study concludes that out of the five dimensions of WGI, Control of Corruption contributes highly to the economy and the only variable that has a positive relation with Economic Development. The remaining four dimensions have negative relations, therefore the government should focus more on these variables on how to improve their functions in the future. It is extremely shown that this paper will help to determine the current situation of the country and to identify more professional ways to help improve the government management for the future well- being of the country.

Urgent need of successful embedding of national high-tech enterprises of the national military-industrial complex in the global reproductive cycle is grounded. The analysis of quasiintegration processes in knowledge-intensive and high-tech sector is conducted and basics of creating mobile quasiintegrative aircraft mconstruction structure in the military-industrial complex as one of the areas of defense industry integration in the global defense industry. Urgency of decentralization of aircraft building corporations and refusing from closed technological cycles as natural measures of increasing management flexibility and response to complications of their basic functions (R&D, manufacturing, marketing, sales, planning and accounting, investment) is scientifically grounded. Basics of system integration in the aircraft industry as a new model of technological chains management on example of EADS corporation are explained where product integrators implemented model of the globally integrated supply chain Global Sourcing Network (GSN).  Creating open model of aircraft manufacturing corporation on the basis of domestic aircraft building enterprises in the system of military defense is grounded, which involves the purchase of structural elements of the highest quality from specialized suppliers, uniform design and manufacturing and service enterprises, and involving capacity of aircraft construction corporation only for assembly work, which will ensure reduction in the duration of the project-production cycle, decreasing of working capital and transaction costs parrallel with cost savings on production of structural elements and more. Conceptual basis for the formation of quasi-integrative aircraft construction structure on the basis of domestic aircraft construction enterprises headed by leading aircraft enterprise SE "Antonov". Additional formats of quasi-integrative relations in the creation and functioning of quasi-integrative aircraftconstruction structure as a mobile economic unit are described, namely quasi-internalizing and externalizing relations format, quasi-externalization which assumes within the network relations preserving by the main system integrator control over the assets and hierarchy of all structural elements of the system based on the market coordination and vertical disintegration through outsourcing, etc. The question of balanced functioning of quasi-integrative aircraft construction structures based on the united subjects' resources complementarity is considered; selecting participants by the criteria of economic feasibility of common effective functioning, sectoral affiliation, specialization, as well as the location of enterprises and related co-productions; concentration of ownership, which leads to the strategy of the quasi-integration initiators in the part of rights distribution management in accordance with the capital share

Abstract :

Many rural areas in developing countries like India lack adequate and affordable access to transport infrastructure and services. The problem is more persistent in low volume and low CBR value sub-grades. The objective of this project is to evaluate the required flexible pavement for very low volume traffic roads with very low CBR values with practically very low traffic of not more than 30-40 vehicles mostly comprising passenger cars where the level of serviceability is very high. The IRC recommended pavement composition is for unpaved gravel roads in rural areas with low volume traffic. There are various disadvantages associated with construction of the road using gravel like dust generation, and gravel loss over a period of time due to passage of vehicles and inaccessibility during rains and the quality of serviceability is unsatisfactory. Problems with sub grade having low CBR values are stability and large deformations or settlements. A project has been taken up where the CBR of sub grade soil is 1.5 or less, the soil is improved by mechanical stabilization with an additive of stone dust. The emphasis of the project is ‘Performance evaluation of very low-low-CBRFlexible pavements with stone dust stabilized sub- grades ’. The addition of stone dust has improved the sub soil condition in achieving higher CBR value. Locally available soils mixed with crushed stone dust serve as effective reinforcement in soft soils for different sub-grade resulting in technically better sub-grade as well cost economy in savings of aggregate material and also reducing carbon foot print.

Abstract :

A new method and criterion are proposed to find the best regularization or smoothing parameter, h, in nonparametric regression by the kernel method on a sample obtained at points equally spaced. The new heuristic criterion is based in the skewness coefficient of the regression estimator derivatives in order of h on all data points, and allows to obtain a comprehensive tool to construct a practical method to control the smoothness of the curve, without the usual and more elaborated criterion based in convergence over the estimator that have, for example, conditions on kernel functions. With a simple calculation for a distance, it is possible to obtain the regularization parameter, h. The selection of the regularization parameter must be clearly different if it is aimed to minimize the error or to calculate the zeros of the regression function.

Abstract :

In the past few years we have witnessed a tremendous inflation in the world of mobile computing. Due to the rise of inexpensive and widely available wireless devices, Ad-hoc networks have now become one of the most vibrant and active field of communication and networks and it has captured an important part of the interest of researchers. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less mobile wireless communication system, meaning that MANET nodes can function both as an end system and also as a router to forward data packets. These nodes are free to move about and change position frequently without a centralized control mechanism, hence the name of “multi-hop wireless network”. As like any other wireless network, routing protocols are the primary strategy to its design. Route discovery and packet forwarding operations within a network need an efficient routing protocol. The main method for evaluating the performance of MANETs is simulation.

In this paper, we compare and evaluate the functionality and performance of the 3 widely used routing protocols in MANET which are AODV (Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector), DSDV (Destination Sequenced Distance Vector) and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) routing protocols. Simulations are all conducted in Network Simulator 2.35 (NS2) running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Linux). Performance evaluations are based on metrics such as end-to-end delay, throughput, packet delivery ratio and jitter as the number of nodes in a network change.

Abstract :

Manufacturers need a strategy to decrease total costs for items and to increase customer satisfactions. Purchasing department receive the items from suppliers at the same time of the demand is one of the keys of decreasing the risk for the manufacturers.                                                                           

Just –In-Time ( JIT ) model is one of the ways for achieving this goal , but it may not be the optimal solution. The first reason is , in the JIT model the manufacturers order  the items whenever they need to meet the demand . The second reason is , by increasing order quantities, the price and shipping cost per item will be decreased , although in a JIT model , the price breaks for purchasing and transportation costs may not happen at all time points.     

A new methodology covers pull system , push systems ,short planning horizon , long planning horizon, pull and push systems and applied in Wasit company.In this paper, we used two models to reduce total costs in this proposed methodology, total cost consist from purchasing, holding and transportation costs, it using two models and solving by genetic algorithm (GA) to determine the best order quantity.
