Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Heat on Reinforced Concrete Frame Using Finite Element SoftwareReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiThe present paper examines the effect of heat on the reinforced concrete frame. A concrete frame with a specific geometric dimension has been modeled in ABAQUS finite element software and its loading capacity and other specifications, such as hardness and ductility, have been obtained. Then the concrete frame was heated under temperature 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000°C and load … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 8,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Reference Model of Software Resources QualityKhaled Almakadmeh, Kenza Meridji, Khalid T. Al-SarayrehInternational standards for software product quality classify software resources as a non-functional requirement for software product. Resources requirements based-standards describe required resources requirements related to software and hardware requirements, in which hardware resources requirements specify requirements relevant to hardware environment in which the software will operate. Whereas, software resources requirements specify sizing and timing requirements required by software product. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 3 Feb 2018 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnterprise Architecture Security Assessment Framework (EASAF)Bandar Mzel AlshammariMany existing studies have shown that the causes of most of system attacks are not related to coding vulnerabilities that apply to individual systems, issues related to the run-time environment, or the technology in place. In fact, they are caused by issues associated with how systems within organizations are structured. Therefore, it is necessary to examine security with regard to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 23 Oct 2017 · 8,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Proposed Solutions to Achieve Nuclear FusionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.Despite research carried out around the world since the 1950s, no industrial application of fusion to energy production has yet succeeded, apart from nuclear weapons with the H-bomb, since this application does not aims at containing and controlling the reaction produced. There are, however, some other less mediated uses, such as neutron generators. The fusion of light nuclei releases enormous … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 8,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCash Holdings, Use of Debt and Dividend Structure of Family FirmsElena Smirnova, Sirousse Tabriztchi, Cary LangeIn this study we examine the relation between firm’s financial structure and family ownership. We develop a theoretical model of the precautionary cash holdings. Our empirical results show that the fraction of a company’s shares that are held by the founding family members or their descendants influences the use of cash and equivalents, dividend policy and debt structure of a … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 2 May 2015 · 6,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRAFFIC CONTROLLED-DEDICATED SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION: A SECURE COMMUNICATION USING TRAFFIC CONTROLLED DEDICATED SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION MODEL IN VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKS FOR SAFETY RELATED SERVICESK. Chandramohan, P. KamalakkannanTo increase the road safety and secure communication among the vehicles in the network environment, Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) is followed. Nowadays, research over DSRC is dramatically increased for enhancing the road safety applications. The main task of DSRC is to protect the vehicles by communicating the warning message regarding the vehicle changing conditions, traffic occurrence and dangers over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite

ZabinOf all the natural resources, water is unarguably the most essential and precious. Life began in water and life is nurtured by water. Ninety seven percent of the world’s water is found in oceans. Only 2.5% of the world’s water are non-saline fresh water. Saudi Arabia is a desert country with no permanent rivers or lakes and very little rainfall. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Apr 2014 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MULTILEVEL CONVERTER WITH REDUCED NUMBER OF SWITCHES FOR FUEL CELL POWER CONDITIONING SYSTEMK. Prasada Rao, Sukhdeo SaoThis study investigates the potentials of cascaded five and seven level converters with reduced number of switches for fuel cell power conditioning system. Fuel cells is one of the most important sources of distributed energy because of its high efficiency, high energy density, plus high reliability and long life due to few moving parts. This study proposes a suitable multilevel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 11 Apr 2014 · 6,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMIGITATION OF INTER CELL INTERFERENCE AND FADING IN LTE SYSTEMSNagarajan Amutha Prabha, Gorla Vidhya Sagar, Venugopal ManikandanIn this study we investigate the compensation of outage area utmost. It introduces the self optimization of the neighbors of the outage cells with antenna tilts for the generation of the most suitable configuration settings for the network with base stations/eNodeBs positional information. All the neighbors of the outage cell increase their coverage area and thus contribute to cell outage … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 28 Nov 2013 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Explanatory Variables of Outward Foreign Direct Investment: Panel EvidenceNicholas Apergis, Dimitrios Asteriou, Kalliroi PapathomaAlong with the traditional macroeconomic determinants of FDI, additional explanatory variables, such as the exchange rates, should be encountered in undertaking physical investment decisions, as these variables affect several comparative costs and the cost of lending. The goal of this study is to examine for the first time panel data evidence of Greek outward FDI flows directed to 16 EU … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,069 accessesView PDFCite
