The process of assessing the suitability of reuse of a software component is complex. Indeed, software systems are typically developed as an assembly of existing components. The complexity of the assessment process is due to lack of clarity on how to compare the cost of adaptation of an existing component versus the cost of developing it from scratch. Indeed, often pursuit of reuse can lead to excessive rework and adaptation, or developing suites of components that often get neglected. This paper is an important step towards modelling the complex reuse assessment process. To assess the success factors that can underpin …


A Numerical Approach To Design The Kretschmann Configuration Based Refractive Index Graphene-Mos2 Hybrid Layers With Tio2-Sio2 Nano For Formalin Detection, Md. Biplob Hossain, Tamanna Tasnim, Lway Abdulrazak, Md Masud Rana, Md Rabiul Islam Jan 2019

A Numerical Approach To Design The Kretschmann Configuration Based Refractive Index Graphene-Mos2 Hybrid Layers With Tio2-Sio2 Nano For Formalin Detection, Md. Biplob Hossain, Tamanna Tasnim, Lway Abdulrazak, Md Masud Rana, Md Rabiul Islam

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

In this paper, a Kretschmann configuration based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is numerically designed using graphene-MoS2 hybrid structure TiO2-SiO2 nano particles for formalin detection. In this design, the observations of SPR angle versus minimum reflectance and SPR frequency (FSPR) versus maximum transmittance (Tmax) are considered. The chitosan is used as probe legend to perform reaction with the formalin (40% formaldehyde) which acts as target legend. In this paper, both graphene and MoS2 are used as biomolecular acknowledgment element (BAE) and TiO2 as well as SiO2 bilayers is used to improve the sensitivity of the sensor. The numerical results show …


Mixed Convection Of Non-Newtonian Nanofluid In An H-Shaped Cavity With Cooler And Heater Cylinders Filled By A Porous Material: Two Phase Approach, Zhixiong Li, Pouya Barnoon, Davood Toghraie, Reza Balali Dehkordi, Masoud Afrand Jan 2019

Mixed Convection Of Non-Newtonian Nanofluid In An H-Shaped Cavity With Cooler And Heater Cylinders Filled By A Porous Material: Two Phase Approach, Zhixiong Li, Pouya Barnoon, Davood Toghraie, Reza Balali Dehkordi, Masoud Afrand

In the present problem, two-phase mixed convection of a non-Newtonian nanofluid in a porous H-shaped cavity is studied. Inside the enclosure there are four rotating cylinders, using the Boussinesq approximation, mixed convection is created. Nanofluid includes H2O + 0.5% CMC and copper oxide nanoparticles. The mixture model was used to model physical phenomena. Different aspect ratios were used in order to achieve the best heat transfer rate. The Darcy and Richardson numbers ranges are 10−4 ≤ Da ≤ 10−2 and 1 ≤ Ri ≤ 100 respectively. Also, the aspect ratio and dimensionless angular velocities of cylinders ranges are 1.4 ≤ …
