In this paper an approach for the estimation of software development costs is presented. The method is based on the characterization of the software to be developed in terms of project and environment attributes and comparison with some similar completed project(s) recovered from a historical database. A case study is also presented, focusing on the calibration and application of the method on 59 information systems implementing supply chain functions in industry. Various strategies are explored, the best of which predicted effort quite effectively, with a mean estimation error of 24% with respect to the actual effort. 相似文献

This paper provides the network synchronization of an orthogonal CDMA geostationary satellite system for fixed service communications.
It includes the synchronization procedures, the system architecture and the performance evaluation. The main objective is
to provide network wide synchronization of all uplink orthogonal CDMA transmissions. This is achieved in steps; first by providing
coarse synchronization using the uplink random access channel and then fine sync using innovative tracking control mechanisms.
The uplink access channel receiver utilize a parallel/serial search method for rapid code acquisition, while the code tracking
of the uplink orthogonal CDMA traffic channel is based on a delay feedback early-late gate in which the sych control resides
in the receiver. The proposed system is designed to minimize the onboard complexity and satisfy the performance requirements.
As shown in the performance section, the requirement that all uplink transmissions are synchronized to a reference time within
10% of the chip length can be achieved. In addition, the system analysis determines the design parameters values which optimize
performance. 相似文献

Assessment of a modification to the Brinell method for determining solid wood hardness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Purpose of this study was to assess a modification to the hardness determination method in order to mitigate the effect of visual measurements on the consistency of Brinell method and accuracy of the results. The amendment has been previously proposed by other researchers and refers to the automated determination of indentation diameter and relies on the ability of modern testing machines to accurately measure indentation depth, through which the calculation of indentation diameter is possible. From the results of this study it was shown that the hardness values acquired by the proposed modification presented statistically significant difference compared to those acquired using the visual method described in EN1534 (Wood and parquet flooring—determination of resistance to indentation (Brinell)—test method, 2000). Moreover, compared to the standard methodology, the application of the proposed amendment led to hardness values which are better correlated to density as well as Janka hardness for the six different solid wood species tested. Furthermore, the proposed modification resulted to hardness values which seem to be less affected by the presence of varnish coatings. 相似文献

Post-process contamination of fresh acid-curd cheeses with Escherichia coli O157:H7 may pose a risk considering the low infectious dose and the ability of the pathogen to survive in acidic foods. To evaluate its survival in Galotyri, a traditional Greek acid-curd cheese, portions (0.5 kg) of two commercial fresh products, one artisan (pH 3.9+/-0.1) and the other industrial (pH 3.7+/-0.1), were inoculated with approximately 3.0 or 6.5 log cfu g(-1) of a five-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7, including rifampicin-resistant derivatives of the strains ATCC 43895 and ATCC 51657, and stored aerobically at 4 and 12 degrees C. Survival was monitored for 28 days by plating cheese samples on tryptic soy agar with 100 mg l(-1) rifampicin (TSA+Rif), SMAC and Fluorocult E. coli O157:H7 agar media. The pathogen declined much faster (P<0.05) in the industrial as compared to the artisan cheeses at both temperatures. Thus, while E. coli O157:H7 became undetectable by culture enrichment after 14 days at 4 degrees C in industrial samples, irrespective of the inoculation level, populations of 1.4-1.9 and 4.2-5.1 log cfu g(-1) survived after 28 days in the corresponding artisan cheeses with the low and high inocula, respectively. Survival was longer and greater (P<0.05) on TSA+Rif than on SMAC and Fluorocult, indicating the presence of acid-injured cells. Interestingly, survival of E. coli O157:H7 after 14-28 days in cheeses was better at 12 degrees C than at 4 degrees C, probably due to yeasts which grew on the surface of temperature-abused cheeses. The large difference in the pathogen's inactivation between the industrial and artisan cheeses at 4 degrees C could not be associated with major differences in pH or type/concentration of organic acids, suggesting another anti-E. coli O157:H7 activity by the industrial starter. The high survival of the pathogen in artisan Galotyri under conditions simulating commercial storage should be of concern. 相似文献

A multifield simulation approach of cellular cores produced by additive manufacturing is presented. The analysis is aiming to derive the relation between the manufacturing process parameters and the resulting material failure behaviour. To this purpose, the selective laser melting manufacturing process is initially thermo‐mechanically simulated, followed by the mechanical analysis of the nonlinear core behaviour. The methodology is demonstrated in the case of open‐lattice body‐centred‐cubic (BCC) cellular cores. 相似文献

Abstract: The shear response of irregular open‐lattice cellular cores made of interconnected metallic struts is analysed, and the core shear modulus in the three material principal directions is derived. The analytical approach is based on the technical beam theory, which is used for the determination of the unit‐cell response under complex loading. The influence of the strut geometrical parameters and unit‐cell shape and size on the cellular core shear stiffness is determined. The analytical determination of the unit‐cell properties is successfully validated by a reference numerical model of the unit cell, which is developed for comparison purposes. Furthermore, the homogenisation principles are applied to the prediction of the shear response of a core block structure comprising a high number of unit cells, for which experimental results were available; the comparison revealed that the experimental results coincide well with the results obtained from the homogenised model. 相似文献

Abstract: In this paper we present an expert system that monitors seawater quality and pollution in northern Greece through a sensor network called Andromeda. The expert system monitors sensor data collected by local monitoring stations and reasons about the current level of water suitability for various aquatic uses, such as swimming and piscicultures. The aim of the expert system is to help the authorities in the decision-making process in the battle against pollution of the aquatic environment, which is vital for public health and the economy of northern Greece. The expert system determines, using fuzzy logic, when certain environmental parameters exceed certain pollution limits, which are specified either by the authorities or by environmental scientists, and flags up appropriate alerts. 相似文献

In this study, the entrance surface dose (ESD) and the respective effective dose (E) were determined for paediatric patients undergoing various common radiological examinations in two dedicated paediatric hospitals. Measurements of ESD were carried out in 289 examinations using thermoluminescent dosemeters. The patients were categorised according to their age and the mean ESD and E values were determined for each examination and age category. These ESD values were compared with the existing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs). In both hospitals there were cases where the DRLs were exceeded but in one of them this was rather the general rule, since additionally to the routine use of grid and low tube potential settings, occasional use of fluoroscopy for positioning check was also observed. While the remedial actions required to appropriately reduce the doses were clearly identified, this cannot be achieved without the cooperation of medical physicists with operators and radiologists. 相似文献

We propose a two-stage phone duration modelling scheme, which can be applied for the improvement of prosody modelling in speech synthesis systems. This scheme builds on a number of independent feature constructors (FCs) employed in the first stage, and a phone duration model (PDM) which operates on an extended feature vector in the second stage. The feature vector, which acts as input to the first stage, consists of numerical and non-numerical linguistic features extracted from text. The extended feature vector is obtained by appending the phone duration predictions estimated by the FCs to the initial feature vector. Experiments on the American-English KED TIMIT and on the Modern Greek WCL-1 databases validated the advantage of the proposed two-stage scheme, improving prediction accuracy over the best individual predictor, and over a two-stage scheme which just fuses the first-stage outputs. Specifically, when compared to the best individual predictor, a relative reduction in the mean absolute error and the root mean square error of 3.9% and 3.9% on the KED TIMIT, and of 4.8% and 4.6% on the WCL-1 database, respectively, is observed. 相似文献
