Rapid Application Development for Small and Medium Businesses, A Case Study

This field project is based on developing a web application model for a hypothetical small business –“Beverly Flowers.” As a small business, it did not see the need for a web presence in its initial years of operation. However its latest marketing analysis has revealed that its existing customer base wants the convenience of shopping from home. The company would like to develop a web application rapidly to gain maximum benefits; however the company lacks Information Technology resources due to budget constraints. In the current age of fast pace commerce, every Small and Medium sized Business (SMB), without e-Commerce or a Web presence is faced with similar challenges. This field project focuses on how SMBs can embark on a new initiative to build a web presence rapidly, efficiently, and cost effectively by using an industry proven open source software such as the Spring framework. The field project focuses on the benefits that small and medium companies can gain by rapidly developing web application using the open source model. There are many successful organizations that have adopted this method and have implemented successful applications. This has resulted in tremendous cost savings and increase in customer satisfaction for those companies. This field project also includes a small software development model – a prototype, to build the required web presence for Beverly Flowers using Spring framework

Temperature Control Using an Air Handling Unit Installed with Carel pCO5+ Controller

This dissertation reports the project work developed in the Thesis/Dissertation course during the 2nd year of the Master of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the field of Automation and Systems, Department of Electrical Engineering (DEE) at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP). The installation of an Air Handling Unit (AHU) in a work place or a hospital plays an important role in the treatment and maintaining the purity of air. The temperature control is focused in this dissertation. The AHU maintains the temperature of the room or office at a set temperature. The heating and cooling function are done automatically by taking in the reference temperature of the room also depending on the outdoor climate. The main purpose of the AHU is to ensure comfort to the patients, staffs and the employees. In case of the hospitals, the main function of AHU is air cleanliness in hygiene applications. It also includes supplying a sufficient amount of oxygen and removing the carbon dioxide and maintaining a comfortable room climate. They help protect patients and staff from infections. This dissertation will focus on the study of wide range of technologies which will work on the AHU with the Carel electronic controller whose main function is to control the temperature of an office. The unit was installed at Farfetch, Barco, Portugal. The study includes the working of selection criteria of the supply and return fans, inverters, recovery unit, probes, dampers and the controller

INTEGRATION OF FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL ASPECTS FOR GENERATING AND COMMUNICATING VALUE TO THE STAKE HOLDERS THROUGH INTEGRATED REPORTING

Integrated reporting is a focus on reporting of non-financial information along with the financial information. This paper deals with the identification of the possible strategies for the creation of the value along with the perceptions of respondents regarding various issues of the integrated reporting system. The results show that a better understanding of business through the improved internal processes was useful in connecting departments was useful to create value for stakeholders. It also found that there was a need for integration of metrics from non-financial to the financial to develop the necessary reporting system. The study further stated that clearly defined goals and strategies were useful to plan for continuous improvement. The study also observed that the most preferred issue faced by the respondent are a better understanding of business through the improved internal process (advantages), domestic legislation (challenge), development of necessary reporting system (suggestions), fully integrated report - a single report (mode of disclosures). The present study suggests that information should be disclosed using a single integrated report instead of the existing multiple reporting systems. It likewise proposed to outfit the data of money related danger, item improvement, buyer necessities, limit development in million tones, deals and generation in volume, wellbeing and security, plan of action, dangers and opportunities, systems, execution and last standpoint in edge work of incorporated answering to see the real position of the concerned organization. At long last, it is inferred that there ought to be a mix of money related and non-monetary data in the yearly reports to mirror the genuine and reasonable perspective of the busines

Rent-A-Car

In today\u27s world of the fastest means of communication, one can reach one’s destination quite easily. However, the challenge is getting last-mile connectivity when traveling locally. Uber and local transport are there, but it takes time. In such a scenario, one will surely miss the car. A simple solution for these challenges is a car rental service. Easy Rides is a website that will help rent a car with a click. Here users are allowed to rent a car for the day or by the hour as per their requirements.

full-FORCE: A Target-Based Method for Training Recurrent Networks

Trained recurrent networks are powerful tools for modeling dynamic neural computations. We present a target-based method for modifying the full connectivity matrix of a recurrent network to train it to perform tasks involving temporally complex input/output transformations. The method introduces a second network during training to provide suitable "target" dynamics useful for performing the task. Because it exploits the full recurrent connectivity, the method produces networks that perform tasks with fewer neurons and greater noise robustness than traditional least-squares (FORCE) approaches. In addition, we show how introducing additional input signals into the target-generating network, which act as task hints, greatly extends the range of tasks that can be learned and provides control over the complexity and nature of the dynamics of the trained, task-performing network.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figure

Nilai Cerna Protein In-Vitro Biskuit dengan Substitusi Kecambah Kedelai (Glycine max (L.) Merril) dan Pisang (Musa paradisiaca sp.) Sebagai Makanan Sehat untuk Anak Sekolah Dasar

Latar Belakang : Mutu protein bahan pangan tidak hanya ditentukan berdasarkan kandungan protein dan komposisi asam aminonya saja, tetapi juga nilai cernanya. Kedelai merupakan sumber protein nabati yang mengandung senyawa antinutrisi sehingga dapat menghambat kerja enzim pencernaan. Metode untuk mengurangi senyawa antinutrisi tersebut yaitu dengan perkecambahan. Kecambah kedelai yang ditepungkan masih kurang dapat diterima karena masih tersisanya aroma langu. Pisang dapat sebagai pemberi aroma dan juga kaya akan vitamin, mineral dan serat pangan. Pembuatan biskuit dengan substitusi kecambah kedelai dan pisang dapat menjadi makanan sehat untuk anak sekolah dasar, baik dari segi kandungan gizi, nilai cerna protein maupun nilai sensorisnya. Tujuan : Menganalisis nilai cerna protein in-vitro biskuit yang disubstitusi dengan kecambah kedelai dan pisang. Metode : Merupakan penelitian dengan rancangan acak lengkap satu faktor, yaitu persentase substitusi tepung kecambah kedelai dan tepung pisang (0%, 12,5%, 25%, 37,5% dan 50%) pada biskuit untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap nilai cerna protein in-vitro pada biskuit. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan uji Kruskal-Wallis dengan uji lanjut Mann-Whitney. Hasil : Nilai cerna protein in-vitro dari setiap persentase substitusi tepung kecambah dan tepung pisang (0%, 12,5% 25%, 37,5% dan 50%) adalah 96.5%, 93.1%, 90.4%, 91.3% dan 88.9%. Terdapat perbedaan nilai cerna protein yang bermakna antara kelompok biskuit kontrol dengan kelompok biskuit substitusi kecambah kedelai dan pisang. Simpulan : Semua kelompok biskuit memiliki nilai cerna protein yang tinggi (88.9-96.5%). Terjadi penurunan nilai cerna protein biskuit seiring dengan penambahan substitusi tepung kecambah kedelai dan pisang
