  • Business Process Re-engineering in Saudi Arabia: A Survey of Understanding and Attitudes 
    Rahali Essam; Chaczko Zenon; Agbinya Johnson; Chiu Christopher (IEEE CPS, 2008)
    This survey was conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to investigate the level of awareness of BPR. Respondents (customers, employees, and managers) had different educational backgrounds and were from private and ...
  • Calculation of Power Loss in Output Diode of a Flyback Switching DC-DC Converter 
    Zhu Jianguo; Chen Jiaxin; Guo Youguang (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2006)
    Based on the mathematical model of flyback switching DC-DC converter in the continuous current mode and the simulation model under heavy loads, this paper presents a study of the steady-state power loss in the output diode, ...
  • A Cascade Sliding Mode-PID Controller for Non-overshoot Time Responses 
    Ha Quang; Tran Thanh Hung; Nguyen Hung (Faculty of Science and Technology, Assumption University, 2005)
    Overshoot is a serious problem in industrial process control. This paper presents a new method for elimination of step response overshoot in a conventionally PID-controlled system by cascading a sliding mode conntroller ...
  • CFD modeling of synthetic jets in a boundary layer at adverse pressure gradient 
    Hong Guang; Ozawa Tetsuya; Mack Austin (B.E. Milton, 2005)
    The flow field experimentally realized by the wind tunnel for the investigation of the control of boundary layer separation by synthetic jets is numerically modelled. Results of the simulations show good agreement with ...
  • Characterising Roof Ventilators 
    Revel Alex; Huynh Ba (University of Sydney, 2004)
    Extraction performances of roof-mounted ventilators are compared using data from tests based on an Australian/New Zealand Standard. The results show that a single performance curve (embodying air extraction rates, wind ...
  • A Chattering-Free Variable Structure Controller for Tracking of Robotic Manipulators 
    Ha Quang; Nguyen Van Minh; Nguyen Hung (ARAA (Australian Robotics & Automation Association), 2003)
    This paper describes the design of a novel sliding mode controller for tracking of robotic manipulators. By using a proportional-integral combination of the sliding function in the boundary layer, control chattering ...
