Cost Objective Model for Construction Equipment Replacement Policies
Abstract: Most construction companies, particularly companies whose projects are primarily constructed with earthmoving equipment, depend heavily on their construction equipment fleets, which represent substantial locked capital investment and require acceptable utilization levels to recover expenses incurred and losses from this investment. The equipment, which possesses a finite physical and economic life, inevitably requires replacement, and equipment maintenance costs increase with the equipment life. Different methodologies are employed to establish the replacement …

Risk Based Estimation in Construction Projects
Abstract: Final cost of a project is always subjected to many variables and assumptions. A single value estimate only represents one of the many possible conditions that can arise in the future. Hence a cost estimate should be represented as a range of values rather than a single value. Construction projects are complex project which involve many uncertainties. Uncertainties in activities can be a threat to the project objective or an …

Test Time and Power Optimization of 2D SOCs Using GA and Greedy Algorithm
Abstract: This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) and greedy algorithm-based solution to co-optimize test scheduling under power constraint for core-based system-on-chips (SOCs). The core testing solutions are represented as set of wrapper configurations represented in rectangular bins of width equal to the test access mechanism (TAM) bandwidth and height equal to the corresponding test time. A best fit algorithm is used for the wrapper design. Experimental results are obtained for …

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Readout Integrated Circuit for Imaging Applications
Abstract: In this paper presents a novel continuous-time simultaneous-readout scheme for active imaging systems based on orthogonal modulation of photo detector signals. The superimposed-continuous-time approach presented here differs from the conventional scheduled-discrete-time scheme in that the photo detector signals are summed in a common bus concurrently and then converted to voltage levels for digitization. We illustrate that our proposed architecture may be profitable. Predominantly, in solicitations, the bandwidth necessities for a …
