Rapid design of tool-wear condition monitoring systems for turning processes using novelty detection
Condition monitoring systems of manufacturing processes have been recognised in recent years as one of the key technologies that provide the competitive advantage in many manufacturing environments. It is capable of providing an essential means to reduce cost, increase productivity, improve quality and prevent damage to the machine or workpiece. Turning operations are considered one of the most common manufacturing processes in industry. It is used to manufacture different round objects such as shafts, spindles and pins. Despite recent development and intensive engineering research, the development of tool wear monitoring systems in turning is still ongoing challenge. In this paper, force signals are used for monitoring tool-wear in a feature fusion model. A novel approach for the design of condition monitoring systems for turning operations using novelty detection algorithm is presented. The results found prove that the developed system can be used for rapid design of condition monitoring systems for turning operations to predict tool-wear

The successful implementation of e-government transformation: A case study in Oman
The aim of this paper is to investigate, and to discuss the key critical factors that facilitate the successful implementation of E-government projects. The nature of this research is mainly qualitative. This investigation uses a single case study and data was mainly collected by means of semi-structured interviews and organisational documents from the Ministry of Higher Education in Oman. The research findings suggest that there are three paradigms which each include a set of factors that impacts the success of E-government success namely, organisational paradigm, technology paradigm and end-users paradigm. The authors believe that, this paper demonstrates an added value to the current literature on transformation of E-government and to E-government projects success, within the wider context of E-government implementation projects. Also the research will benefit organisations in the public sector, as it has identified main key success factors in E-government transformations and implementations
On two-dimensional quantum gravity and quasiclassical integrable hierarchies
The main results for the two-dimensional quantum gravity, conjectured from
the matrix model or integrable approach, are presented in the form to be
compared with the world-sheet or Liouville approach. In spherical limit the
integrable side for minimal string theories is completely formulated using
simple manipulations with two polynomials, based on residue formulas from
quasiclassical hierarchies. Explicit computations for particular models are
performed and certain delicate issues of nontrivial relations among them are
discussed. They concern the connections between different theories, obtained as
expansions of basically the same stringy solution to dispersionless KP
hierarchy in different backgrounds, characterized by nonvanishing background
values of different times, being the simplest known example of change of the
quantum numbers of physical observables, when moving to a different point in
the moduli space of the theory.Comment: 20 pages, based on talk presented at the conference "Liouville field
theory and statistical models", dedicated to the memory of Alexei

Knowledge management: Exploring the relationship between human capital and organisation structure capital
Human capital and its impact on the organisation structure capital are of paramount importance in the modern business organisations. This research in progress, which investigates and analyses the role that human capital plays in the determination of the organisation structure capital. The study is based on wide spectrum of current literature, which presents theoretical and practical research on the subject of study. Knowledge Management (KM) is systematic process based on models and technological integration, which helps in the development of the conceptual framework. It is assumed that KM leads to benefits for the organisation and provides a platform for future research. Also, it addresses KM impacts on human capital and the enhancement of organisational effectiveness. The procedure is established for the measurement of the effectiveness of knowledge management criteria. The study aims at large businesses in Syria. It is confirmed through the results and findings that models and processing of information through systematic structure is essential for the development of the managerâs capabilities which plays an important factor in defining the impact of human capital on the success of the organisation structure of a business
