Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCase Study on the Effects of Plan Irregularities on Seismic Performance of StructuresEduardo Flores, Tadeh ZirakianGeometric configurations, such as large openings, re-entrant corners, and discontinuity in diaphragms, are very common in architectural design but are seen as undesirable for structural performance during earthquakes. The lateral systems in a structure resist the strong forces induced during an earthquake, preventing damage or collapse of the structure. If these systems fail, the structural integrity of the building may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2024 · 5,726 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Assessment of CPU Scheduling Algorithms: A Scenario-Based Approach with FCFS, RR, and SJFOlaa Hajjar, Escelle Mekhallalati, Nada Annwty et al.This study presents an extensive examination of CPU scheduling algorithms, focusing on the First-Come, First-Served (FCFS), Round-Robin (RR), and Shortest-Job-First (SJF) strategies through a carefully designed scenario-based approach. By deploying a Java-based simulation to dynamically generate random process arrival and burst times, this study simulates a variety of operational conditions to test these scheduling algorithms’ adaptability and performance in environments … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 9 · 16 Jun 2024 · 9,114 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordVirtual Assessment of air Pollution Dispersion from Anthropogenic Sudden ExplosionMarvel Lola Akinyemi, Moses Eterigho Emetere, Mojisola Rachel UsikaluThe control of air pollutants from anthropogenic sources seems almost impossible due to numerous influencing factors present in the atmosphere. In this study, we carried out a virtual mathematical experimentation using Math CAD, Mat lab and analytical approximation to estimate the dimensional impact of initial pollutant plume cloud from a sudden volcanic blast and the dynamics of its wind field. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2016 · 7,161 accessesView PDF Cite
