In the preceding chapters, we have examined three of the systems that support China’s economic structure: the financial, fiscal, and enterprise systems. In this chapter, we will look at the fourth major system, energy. This is in some ways the most complex system because China’s...

The ACE structure is not only used to create BioS goals and work products, but also to perform the analysis needed to prioritize improvement projects and their tasks. We next show how the structure is used to define tasks and priorities to deploy in the context of existing enterprise systems and emerging technologies to reduce the time to install new PCs from seventeen days to one day. The related goals are met by quantifying the Interactions between global Lean and local Autonomic goals to achieve continuous improvement. Finally, we show here how a complex system ‘improves’ operationally through enhancements in a Role set that includes both Agents in the physical world and in the Electronic world. for related approaches to this also see Brittenham et al 2007a. We use the PC (personal computer) Build and Install service to illustrate methods for the improvement of underlying Interactions within a typical complex organization. This application was selected because it has the complex characteristics, yet it is representative and straightforward to understand. The techniques are widely applicable for the improvement of IT services and Primary services.

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a complex system of intracellular tubules that, due to their small size and juxtaposition to such electron-dense structures as mitochondria and myofibrils, are often inconspicuous in conventionally prepared electron microscopic material. This study reports a method with which the SR is selectively “stained” which facilitates visualizationwith the transmission electron microscope.

Charging Control

This paper presents the implementation fuzzy logic control on the battery charging system. To control the charging process is a complex system due to the exponential relationship between the charging voltage, charging current and the charging time. The effective of charging process controller is needed to maintain the charging process. Because if the charging process cannot under control, it can reduce the cycle life of the battery and it can damage the battery as well. In order to get charging control effectively, the Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) for a Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Battery (VRLA) Charger is being embedded in the charging system unit. One of the advantages of using FLC beside the PID controller is the fact that, we don’t need a mathematical model and several parameters of coefficient charge and discharge to software implementation in this complex system. The research is started by the hardware development where the charging method and the combination of the battery charging system itself to prepare, then the study of the fuzzy logic controller in the relation of the charging control, and the determination of the parameter for the charging unit will be carefully investigated. Through the experimental result and from the expert knowledge, that is very helpful for tuning of the  embership function and the rule base of the fuzzy controller.

Demographic Features

The contribution of universities to economic structure, social and physical insfrastructure, the quality of life and city, and the level of education cannot be regarded. Therefore, it should be provided that university campuses should be areas which reflect city image with their physical structures. In this regard, the effective administration, usage, and development of universities, and the coordination between the units of universities should also be provided. One of the most significant elements of this coordination and cooperation is on campus transportation. One of the main purposes of the thesis is to evaluate inner campus transportation which is the sub-unit of city transportation. Other purposes are to determine the reasons of the perception of the users in reference to their demographic features on campus transportation and the reasons of their preferences of a particular transportation option. A survey study has been conducted in order to measure inner campus transportation perceptions. In this regard, 1112 questionnaire forms have been analysed by the software programme of SPSS. Expression analysis of the reliability, frequency distribution and factors are obtained, and differences were identified by ANOVA and T-TEST analysis.
