Design of digital differentiators
A digital differentiator simply involves the derivation of an input signal. This work includes the presentation of first-degree and second-degree differentiators, which are designed as both infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filters and finite-impulse-response (FIR) filters. The proposed …

High vacuum system and instrumentation for measuring the derivative of the current-voltage characteristic of a Langmuir probe
… The theory behind using a lock-in amplifier differentiator to obtain the derivative of the I-V characteristic of a Langmuir Probe is derived and discussed. A test was devised to check the instrumentation for correct operation.

A novel maximal-length sequence synchronisation network
… on the maximal likelihood phase detector. The differentiator is thus in the feedback path of the loop. This results in the loop being unstable and parameter sensitive. Moving the differentiator into the input path, as in the second loop, resulted in a more stable loop. This loop therefore …

Ética: diferencial estratégico para inserção do profissional administrador no mercado de trabalho
… in order to highlight ethics as strategic differentiator fo insertion Administrator professional market work. Thus, it concluded that professionals who demonstrate unethical in their attitudes can achieve success only momentarily because, ove time will lose the permanence of opportunity or …

Mixed signal compensation of sampling errors in ADCs due to noisy DPLL clock sources
… estimate of jitter which is used with an analog differentiator to provide an estimate of the ADC sampling error. This correction scheme has reduced the side band noise in the output signal and allows the ADC effective number of bits at high frequency to be improved from 2 bits to 6 bits. When …

Addressing unmet needs in the small and medium enterprises through use of emerging technologies : a business plan
… visibility and control on travel spend Our key differentiator will be the rewards module, which will be a one of its kind offering which incentivizes employees to be prudent during business travel. This module will also help employers contain travel costs and be our source of monetization.

Design for surprise and idea generation methods
… if used correctly, can be an indispensable differentiator-creating emotional attachment and fostering brand loyalty. A two-part experiment tests three different idea generation methods-brainstorming, multiple perspectives, and counter attributes (a new method proposed in this thesis)-and how …

Particle shape optimization in colloidal clusters for structural colour applications
… rather than particle shape, acts as the differentiator between cluster types.

Application of a model of cerebellar function to the maintenance of human upright posture
… is made up of simple linear filters such as differentiator and integrator. The simple linear filters implement a linear feedback control scheme including a phase lead compensator. The neural feedback signal represents the action of the cerebellum in the processing of angular position and …

Parameter estimation and control of nonlinearly parameterized systems
… diagnosis and modeling. The goal is to find a differentiator free on-line adaptive estimation algorithm which can estimate the internal unknown parameters of dynamic systems using its inputs and outputs. This thesis provides new algorithms for adaptive estimation and control of nonlinearly …

Applying lean enterprise principles to optimize delivery of customer service
… environment. The Author calls to light a key differentiator between lean manufacturing and lean customer service. Specifically, while customers use relatively consistent value systems to assess manufacturing operations, different customer segments typically value customer service in very …

Incorporation of High-Fidelity Flow Field Information into Preliminary Design of Multi-Stage Axial Compressors
… compressors during preliminary design. Its key differentiator is that radial non-uniformity, inferred from three-dimensional CFD and represented using orthonormal basis functions, replaces empirical correlations of blockage, loss, and deviation as well as simplified models of flow features, such …

Fairness, trust and motivation in Profit Sharing Systems within German law firms. A qualitative analysis of law firm partner needs in a peer-to-peer context
… one PSS type. An important, but yet overlooked differentiator between PSS’s is whether profit distribution decisions are made based on algorithms or on human (committee) decisions. A new framework is developed that links the beliefs and values of the partners with the specific characteristics of …

Overcoming the Penrose Stairs of history: the legislated treatment of the 'designated groups' within a hierarchy of discrimination approach
… I have focused on the Act's own racial differentiator - 'Blacks' - as a seemingly convenient catch-all rubric which is drenched with the very abhorrent salience of race and thickening of racial classifications which it wishes to escape from. 'Blacks', as Africans, Indians and Coloureds, …

An investigation of the financial benefits of green buildings
… benefits which will ultimately provide the differentiator when it comes down to a final decision whether to invest in green buildings or not. An overview is also provided on the fundamental principles of green buildings which are important to be implemented in the construction of green …

An Evaluation of Laboratory and Test Road Environments and Electric Vehicle Warning Sounds and Systems
… modulation rate was not determined to be a key differentiator in pedestrian detectability and low frequency emphasis sounds were found to have the highest level of pedestrian detectability. As expected, vehicle speed played a critical role in participant detection with the 20 km/h speed …

Hybrid intelligent approaches for business process sequential analysis.
The quality of customer services is an important differentiator for service oriented com- panies like telecommunication providers. In order to deliver good customer service, the underlying processes within the operations of a company have to run smoothly and must be well controlled. It is of great …
