Summary
This study introduces a smart contract broker to enhance smart contract reusability and efficiency on blockchains. The broker uses tags for organization, improving developer access and management.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Blockchain Technology
- Software Engineering
Background:
- Current blockchain platforms lack standardized methods for smart contract sharing and management.
- This deficiency hinders developer efficiency and smart contract reusability.
- Inefficiencies arise from difficulties in discovering and integrating existing smart contracts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel smart contract broker system.
- To enhance the reusability and efficiency of smart contracts within blockchain environments.
- To provide a standardized framework for smart contract management and discovery.
Main Methods:
- Development of a smart contract broker utilizing a tagging system for identification and organization.
- Implementation of an integrated environment for comparing and reusing smart contracts.
- Design of a reference model for flexible smart contract management.
Main Results:
- The proposed broker significantly improves smart contract reusability.
- Enhanced efficiency in smart contract development and deployment is achieved.
- The tagging system facilitates better organization and retrieval of smart contracts.
Conclusions:
- The smart contract broker offers a viable solution to current blockchain limitations.
- It increases flexibility and reusability in managing blockchain smart contracts.
- The model serves as a foundational reference for future smart contract management systems.

01:25Distribution Reliability and Automation
134
Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

01:14Design Example: Managing Concrete Workability
102
This example deals with managing the workability of concrete for a raft foundation project under hot weather conditions. Workability is crucial for ensuring the concrete is easy to place, compact, and finish. In this scenario, a slump test — a common method to measure the workability of fresh concrete — initially indicated low workability. This was attributed to the rapid water loss from the concrete mix, exacerbated by the high temperatures causing the course aggregates to heat up.

01:25Workability of Concrete
127
The workability of concrete is a crucial property that affects its handling, placing, and finishing during construction. It describes the ease with which concrete can be mixed, placed, compacted, and finished. Workability is primarily concerned with the concrete's movement and its ability to resist internal friction and external resistance from molds and reinforcements during the application process.
Concrete's workability is determined by its resistance to internal forces that arise...

Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
