On Progenitively Koszul Commutative Rings
(Mathematics, 2008-04-22)
This paper introduces and identifies classes of progenitively Koszul rings. A progenitively Koszul ring is a commutative ring that admits a Koszul complex A=K(R) that is formal, and such that the homology algebra H(A) ...
Development Of A Freeway Incident Rating System
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
A freeway incident rating system is proposed to classify incidents in terms of their disruptive potential to cause delays, fuel wastage, secondary accidents, and other adverse operational impacts. A two-dimensional rating ...
Closed-form Development Of A Family Of Higher Order Tetrahedral Elements Through The Fourth Order
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
This research is concerned with the development and implementation of a family of tetrahedral elements through the fourth order. The straight-sided tetrahedral elements are developed in closed-form. This work investigates ...
The Development Of A Finite Element Tool For The Calculation Of Beam Cross Section Properties
(Aerospace Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Cross section properties are crucial in the analysis and design of beams as they play a key role in the determination of the stress state encountered. The development of an FEM tool in MATLAB for the calculation of beam ...
Analysis And Optimization Of A Crashworthy Helicopter Seat
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
The objective of a crashworthy seat is to improve the survivability of occupants (cockpit and cabin) in helicopter crashes. All modern helicopter seats are equipped with an energy absorber to reduce lumbar spine load during ...
Visualization Of Monitor-based Executions
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Concurrent programs play a vital role in the world of software engineering. Concurrent programs are used in various fields such as safety critical applications, applications involving advanced graphical user interface, ...
Enhancing JSWAT For Monitor-based Executions
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Concurrent programs contain more than one thread that executes concurrently to accomplish a particular task. Since the threads in a concurrent program work together to accomplish a common goal, they share the data, code, ...
High-level Constraint Support For Combinatorial Testing
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Combinatorial testing constructs test
cases by combining different input
parameter values based on some effective
combinatorial strategy. This software
testing approach has displayed very
promising attributes and ...
The Language Of The University: A Systemic Functional Analysis
(Linguistics, 2008-08-08)
This study examines the negotiation of interpersonal meaning in the language of university administrators in their communications with students. The three texts in this study were written by the president of a large ...
Category Assignment And Relatedness In The Group Ideation Process
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)
Although many studies have investigated the effects of task related diversity on group performance, little empirical attention has been paid to the effect of the degree of relatedness of these tasks on the group ideation ...
