Becker Avionics is closely associated with the birth of aviation in post-war Germany. In 1956 a little hangar was set up at the edge of a French military airfield in Baden-Baden. Within a few years this tiny air-strip at the
DAO Aviation are a certified EASA Part-145 approved maintenance and repair facility (Appr. no. DK.145.0020).For the past 25 years DAO Aviation`s highly skilled staff of engineers have maintained and supported aircraft operators with engines and spare parts all over the
is both an EASA and an FAA repair station. Operating since 1927, the company has extensive experience in the maintenance, repair and overhaul business. In January 2006 Jat Tehnika formally became an independent entity separating from its parent company JAT
Dolcetti and Thomas spent the previous two seasons with the UBC-Okanagan Lakers, while the Victoria-native Spoor logged two seasons with the nearby Camosun Chargers. Dolcetti and Spoor were both named BC College First Team All-stars this season, while Thomas was
This study explores whether market sentiment is significantly related to equity premium levels using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) framework with both the Conference Board CCI and the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI) as market sentiment proxies. Contrary to several
This paper proposes a genetic-based hybrid approach to predict the possibility of corporate failure. We use Genetic Algorithm (GA) to select the critical variables set and optimise the weight of each classifier for integrating the best features of several classification
Using data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the period 1995 through 2005, this study found that e filing practices are advancing gradually but steadily. Since the new millennium, online e-filing has been the fastest growing category. On the
Serving customers' banking needs online has been proposed to be a cost-saving move for the Financial Institution (FI). These same online services have also been posited to result in higher customer value for the FI. This study analyses the records
This study considers the coherence of the financial service sector and adopts different observational variables to identify innovation capital (training and R&D density) and process capital (IT system sufficiency). The results show that human capital has a direct impact on
The US Army is a complex organisation. Financial integration and full auditability have remained objectives for years. This paper presents an architecture-driven approach for achieving financial integration as the Army is implementing new business solutions in many areas. We describe
This study aims to examine how the quality of service alternatives influences Internet Banking (IB)customers' behaviours. Although the newly developed IB is a fast-growing channel, the traditional brick-and mortar face-to-face banking services are still pervasive. Therefore, it is important to
The designers of innovative Small- and Medium-sized Reactors (SMRs) are pursuing new design and deployment strategies, making use of certain advantages provided by a smaller reactor size and capacity to achieve reduced design complexity and simplified operation and maintenance requirements
A Generalised Mean Temperature Difference (GMTD) method instead of the Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) method for heat exchangers is proposed. Unlike the LMTD method, the GMTD method allows the performance analysis of heat exchangers with distributed physical properties. GMTD
In current practice, spent fuel is most commonly stored in a special basin of distilled or demineralised water for a required time period to reduce the amount of heat generated by radioactive decay to a level that can permit reprocessing.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) operates a large diversity of equipment to verify nuclear materials, contributing to the confirmation of the states' compliance with their respective nonproliferation obligations. The variety of physical and chemical properties of nuclear materials, as
The Luus-Jaakola (LJ) algorithm is a random search optimisation method that has been successfully employed mainly in chemical engineering problems. In this paper, we apply this algorithm to an optimisation problem solved previously with genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimisation and
With the development of nuclear technology and engineering, more and more scientific research nuclear installations have already or will enter the phase of decommissioning. Based on the risk management of a nuclear installation decommissioning project, this paper analyses the risk
