Mechanical and Electrical parts are assembled thereby. The main objective of this project is to collect maximum solar energy from the solar spectrum and use that solar energy to drive the car. Amorphous silicon based thin film solar panel has been used instead of crystalline silicon to convert more solar energy to usable electrical energy. This energy is used to recharge the batteries. The operation of the solar panel can be visible through a small LED (connected in the path of the panel to the batteries). The batteries then use to run the two gear motors (12V & 6V) by the remote control system. The shaft, connected with one motor by gearing mechanism, drives the car by rotating wheels. Another motor is used to change the direction. As a result the car moves in different directions and has become a real solar car.","PeriodicalId":405479,"journal":{"name":"2012 UKSim 14th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125438638","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}

Current algorithms are capable of creating adequate schedules under ideal conditions, but can be considered inadequate when many variables must be regarded. End users are demanding ever greater performance while minimizing failures and power consumption, meaning advanced power management must be incorporated into circuit designs, especially in multi-core environments. This paper summarizes the initial investigation into the simulation of an energy harvesting system to identify key parameters. This is done by initial multi-vary analysis to determine primary contributors, which are then refined through Design of Experiments (DoE). Finally, the reduced model is subject to control through Statistical Process Control (SPC) to confirm whether monitoring causes a statistical difference to the output reliability and if so, what parameter has the greatest effect.","PeriodicalId":405479,"journal":{"name":"2012 UKSim 14th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129224880","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}

We propose an analytical model which centers around managing index objects that are aligned to the queries submitted by the users through an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) system. We first define a strategy to prioritize queries based on certain configurable parameters and call them as short listed queries. The next step is to analyze the existing index objects that were created by the DBA during the initial database setup and to check if these index objects are aligned to the short listed queries. Eventually, the system generates a recommendation report to the DBA which lists new indexes to be created that are aligned to short listed queries and list of obsolete indexes that are potential candidates to be dropped due to low utilization rates. This approach introduces a new facet for adoption towards performance analysis and improvements in software systems. We present an experimental analysis that validates the ideas of feeding domain knowledge indirectly in to the system through configurable parameters that help in prioritizing queries for Index tuning.","PeriodicalId":405479,"journal":{"name":"2012 UKSim 14th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127688040","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}

The generated model is packaged in a software component standard in order to be plugged in different solvers (DAE, ODE, and Optimization). Depending on the static or dynamic nature of Modelica models, the treatment is adapted in order to take advantage of automatic differentiation.

The context of emergency communications, in fact, allows for an analysis of dynamic network set-ups where the system needs to provide best possible communication capabilities in the area of incident. For this reason, issues such as energy constraints and battery drainage play secondary role, allowing for the development of way more advanced concepts as compared to commercial networked systems.","PeriodicalId":405479,"journal":{"name":"2012 UKSim 14th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126062744","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}

One of the major causes of thermal errors in linear axes is the heat generated in ball screw during operation at high speed. Thermal errors affect the accuracy of the linear axes and can cause a deviation from the nominal machining circular motion. The subject of this paper is to study the effects of feed velocity and ball screw Preload on the accuracy of circular motion. The temperature rise in the ball screw is measured by a laser thermometer. The errors in the linear and circular motions are measured by laser interferometer and ball bar. Training a neural network by the test results, thermal errors in all parts of a ball screw are predicted and compared with other test results.","PeriodicalId":405479,"journal":{"name":"2012 UKSim 14th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126224103","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}

We demonstrate that this new approach is fundamentally well-connected to the Cholesky decomposition if applied on symmetric matrices. We also demonstrate that it is related to the LU decomposition method via a diagonal matrix multiplier. Also through this new method a direct relation between Cholesky decomposition and LU factorisation is shown. This method, presented for the first time, is useful for (re)constructing matrices with a predefined determinant and simulating inverse problems.

Its work is based on studying previously observed values. A heteroskedastic time series features variable and unpredictable measures of dispersion. This uncertainty in statistical distribution parameters imposes a serious challenge to the forecasting models. There have been many attempts to identify the heteroskedasticity in time series. However, all these attempts rely on hypothesis testing and do not quantify the amount of heteroskedasticity in the examined time series. On the other hand, quantifying heteroskedasticity does provide extra information about the behavior of the time series. Studying this behavior will improve forecasting of behavioral dependent time series such as stock market data.
