It enables access to a vast pool of skilled developers and facilitates the exchange of best practices and innovative ideas within the software industry. However, effective project management plays a vital role in ensuring successful product development. Organizations that achieve project success consistently adhere to well-defined project management methodologies, resulting in desired outcomes within predefined time frames and allocated resources. The success rate of software projects significantly increases with diligent software management efforts. Nevertheless, the distributed nature of GSD presents significant challenges related to collaboration, information dissemination, and process control, which ultimately impede effective development and compromise software quality. In this study, we identify various challenges associated with the GSD process and propose strategies to overcome obstacles to effective project management. Additionally, we introduce a comprehensive framework designed to enhance managerial activities in GSD.","PeriodicalId":37863,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Engineering - Modeling and Application","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135649974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, a wide range of structural solutions, including trigonometric, hyperbolic, rational, and logarithmic functions, are formulated. The achieved solutions present a kink wave, a collision of kink and periodic peaked soliton, exponentially increasing wave profiles, and shock with a dark peaked wave. The obtained solutions are numerically demonstrated for specific parameter values and general parametric powers of nonlinearity. We analyzed the effect of existing parameters on the obtained wave solutions with numerical graphics. Moreover, the stability of the model is analyzed with a perturbed system. Furthermore, a comparison with published results in the literature is provided, highlighting the differences and similarities.

However, the water quality in the laboratory and the engineering application waters differs, especially the concentration of the gas nuclei that cause cavitation, resulting in experimental results that differ from prototype experimental results, and the scale effect occurs. In order to reduce the influence of the scale effect, according to the conditions of cavitation, gas nuclei can be mixed with water before the experiment is formally implemented. Aeration behavior will affect the size and concentration of gas nuclei (gas nuclei spectrum) in water. In order to obtain better experimental results, it is necessary to clarify the variation of the gas nuclei spectrum in small-scale experimental pools before and after aeration, so as to master aeration technology. Through research, it is found that the artificial aeration method can effectively change the gas nuclei spectrum in water and increase the concentration of gas nuclei. By using the underwater acoustic measurement method, the change in the gas nuclei spectrum can be captured sensitively. The gas nuclei spectrum in water after aeration is in good agreement with the mathematical model of gas nuclei spectrum under non-artificial intervention, which shows that the distribution of gas nuclei in water under artificial aeration is similar to that under non-artificial intervention, which is conducive to the occurrence of cavitation. At the same time, it shows that the combination of experiment and numerical method can reduce the measuring state and the measurement cost and improve the measurement efficiency.","PeriodicalId":37863,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Engineering - Modeling and Application","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135156482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, a well-known analytical method is utilized, namely, the Sardar sub-equation (SSE) method along with a truncated M-fractional derivative. As a result, many new families of solitary wave solutions, such as kink-type solitons, singular and periodic solitons, dark and bright solitons, are established. By using the SSE method, the outcomes are portrayed in 3-dim, 2-dim, and contour plots for distinct parametric values.

According to the characteristics of the median and the mean value in the normal distribution, a new method of preprocessing to remove outliers is proposed to improve the accuracy of the final fusion result. The algorithm is used to calculate the temperature data to be processed in a greenhouse. The results showed that the fusion result after average processing was X ˆ hat{X} = 15.77°C. The standard deviation is σ sigma = 0.1194°C. After the treatment of the Grabbs criterion, the fusion result is X ˆ hat{X} = 15.73°C and the standard deviation is σ sigma = 0.1110°C.

Through this equipment, one fluid can be cooled down and another fluid can be heated up to meet their respective needs. The equipment is widely used in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, energy, and other industrial sectors, and is one of the indispensable and important equipments in chemical production. To improve the heat transfer performance and service life of the heat exchanger, a numerical analysis of the vibration response of the elastic tube bundle in the heat exchanger based on fluid–structure coupling analysis is proposed. Using the weak coupling method of fluid–structure coupling, the vibration response of multiple rows of elastic tube bundles induced by shell side fluid in a heat exchanger with different tube row spacing and different tube row numbers is studied numerically, and the effects of shell side fluid and tube side fluid on the vibration response of elastic tube bundles are compared and analyzed. The results show that the maximum relative error of monitoring point amplitude is 43.36% when H = 40 mm and 10.17% when H = 70 mm. For connection IV, the maximum relative error of monitoring point amplitude is 31.71% when H = 40 mm and 24.08% when H = 70 mm. This is because when H is small, the interaction between rows of tube bundles is strong, so the amplitude changes violently with the number of the tube bundle. The step-by-step calculation strategy of rough calculation and actuarial calculation proposed in this article can greatly reduce the calculation time and improve the calculation efficiency.","PeriodicalId":37863,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Engineering - Modeling and Application","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75977989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
