Design and Control of a Hydraulic Servo System and Simulation Analysis |
Author : Dechrit Maneetham |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This paper describes the system analysis, modeling and simulation of a Hydraulic Servo System (HSS) for
hydraulic mini press machine. Comparisons among linear output feed back PID control, Fuzzy control and
Hybrid of PID and Fuzzy control are presented. Application of hybrid controller to a nonlinear is investigated
by both position and velocity of the hydraulic servo system. The experiment is based on an 8 bit PIC
16F877 microcontroller, and the simulation is based on MATLAB Simulink. Simulation and hardware
experimental results show that the hybrid controller gave the best performance as it has the smallest overshoot,
oscillation, and setting time.

Rating Framework to Evaluate Connection Flights at Tourist Airports |
Author : Dimitrios J. Dimitriou,Maria F. Sartzetaki ,Aristi G. Karagkouni |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Airport’s serving a tourist destination is an essential counterpart of the tourist demand supply chain, and their
productivity is related to the region’s attractiveness and is enhanced by the air transport business. In this paper,
the evaluation framework in order to prioritize the scheduled flights connecting two tourist airports is
introduced, taking into consideration their available yield seats. By adopting a systemic approach, the arrivals
from an airport that its connectivity is heavily depended on the departures of another airport are reviewed. The
methodology approach, based on inventory control theory and the numerical example, promotes the use of the
modeling formulation. The results would be essential for comparison and exercising to other similar cases |

Sustainable Development: a controversial concept |
Author : Teresa Maria Leitão Dieguez |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The issue of economic growth and development is one of the fundamental concerns of humankind. It is therefore
necessary to find solutions so that people can have access to a greater diversity of goods and services, as well
as better standard of living and well-being. Since ancient times, humankind has been warned about the scarcity
of the resources but even with this information, they still take unreasonable measures with irreversible effects.
The recent past gives us evidence that Sustainable Development is not only a practice of corporate social
responsibility to gain a competitive edge, but also a necessity to meet the needs of future generations. The
strength of the economic element cannot overlap with the balance of social and environmental dimensions.
Having this is mind, the challenges are vast, as they are from all and for all citizens, since they are increasingly
participating in building their futures, which require an awareness of a common destiny and the progressive
construction of a world community |

Measurement of Flow Rate and Impact Force on Different Vanes through Impact of Jet |
Author : Farzad Hossain, Afshana Morshed,,Rifat Sultana, Md. Quamrul Islam |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The objectives of the paper are to conduct an investigation into the reaction force generated by the impact of a
jet of water onto various target vanes and to compare between experimental and theoretical forces which are
exerted by the jet. The procedure for this experiment is to bring the weight cup in the initial position by applying
weight when the flow rate is varied. It can be possible to repeat the same experiment by changing different
target vanes. Moreover, the effect of different target vanes can be seen at a constant flow rate by changing the
type of target vanes and applying different amounts of weights to bring the weight cup in the initial position.
The vanes used in this experiment can be categorized into four geometries. Flat, inclined, spherical and conical
vanes are used for this experiment. Experimental and theoretical forces and the percentage of error can be
calculated in this experiment. Here, the theoretical forces are depended upon weights applied on the weight cup
and the experimental forces are depended on flow rate, nozzle exit velocity, impact velocity and shape of the
vanes.

Corporate Governance and Its Impact on Financial Performance in Nepalese Commercial Banks |
Author : Dr. Achyut Gnawali |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Corporate governance is about building credibility, ensuring transparency and accountability as well as
maintaining aneffective channel of information disclosure that would foster good corporate performance.
Corporate governance is the extent to which companies are run in an open and honest manner is important for
overall market confidence. Corporate governance describes all of the devices, institutions, and mechanisms by
which corporations are governed. The basic objective of the study is to analyze the level and structure of
corporate governance in Nepal and determine its effects on financial performance in commercial banks of
Nepal. Descriptive research design has been followed and multistage sampling method is used. Both primary as
well as secondary data have been used to collect the information. It is found that corporate governance has
played the significant role to keep the corporate governance in Nepalese commercial Banks. |
