Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOverview of Certification Methodologies for Sustainable Constructions of Brazilian BuildingsVanessa Silva Pugliero, Lorenzo Campos Coiado, Lia Lorena Pimentel et al.The terms “sustainable” and “environmentally-friendly” have been used in the construction industry field as a marketing appeal. The methodology to judge in which level a building is sustainable in Brazil is incipient, without orientation and hardly ever there is a diffusion of these methods inside Brazilian territory. Almost all developed countries have their appropriate certification methodology for sustainable constructions. Some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 25 May 2015 · 6,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimal Network Design for Efficient Energy Utilization in Wireless Sensor NetworksChutima Prommak, Sujitra ModhirunProblem statement: This research presents a study of the optimal network design for efficient energy utilization in continuous data-gathering Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We first examine the problem of minimizing the network cost through the minimum number of relay-station installation. Then we further investigate the problem of minimizing the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Approach: We model the network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,350 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLeaf Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Gas Exchange Response to Different Light Levels in Platycerium bifurcatumRuzana-Adibah Mohd Sanusi, Ainuddin Ahmad Nuruddin, Hazandy Abdul HamidProblem Statement: Platycerium bifurcatum (Cav.) C. Chr. is epiphytes which lives in forest canopy and commonly used for its ornamental value. In these environments, they were always exposed to many types of stresses such as high light intensity. Light intensity plays an important role in affecting plant’s physiological performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate physiological responses … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,981 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEfficiency of Differential Transformation Method for Genesio SystemJafar Husni AhmadProblem statement: In this study, a continuous solution for Genesio system was considered using Differential Transformation Method (DTM). Approach: Numerical results were compared to those obtained by the Runge-Kutta method to evaluate the performance of the suggested method. Results: The accuracy of the DTM was tested as the chaotic Genesio system. Conclusion/Recommendations: It was shown that the DTM was robust, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,272 accessesView PDF Cite
