Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Organizational Culture Influence the Innovativeness of Public-Listed Housing Developers?Nor Aini Yusof, Nazirah Zainul AbidinProblem statement: The benefits of innovation and the need to be innovative have been highlighted by many. However, it is doubtful whether the players in the housing industry, in particular housing development firms, have the characteristics that are favorable for innovation. This study investigates the relationship between organizational culture and the innovativeness of public-listed housing developers in Malaysia. Approach: A … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Controller Design of an Electro-Hydraulic Actuator SystemM. F. Rahmat, S. Md. Rozali, N. Abdul Wahab et al.Problem statement: Electro-hydraulic actuators are widely used in motion control application. Its valve needs to be controlled to determine direction of the motion. Mathematical modeling is a description of a system in terms of equations. It can be divided into two parts; physical modeling and system identification. The objective of this study was to obtain mathematical model of an electro-hydraulic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 11,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead Free Solder Joint Thermal Condition in Semiconductor PackagingM. Najib Harif, Allina Nadzri, Kamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: Solder joints are responsible for both electrical and mechanical connections. Solder does not have adequate ductility to ensure the repeated relative displacements due to the mismatch between expansion coefficients of the chip carrier and the circuit board. Solder material plays a crucial role to provide the necessary electrical and mechanical interconnections in an electronic assembly. Finding a technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Uniform Temperature with Thickness-Wise Linear Temperature Gradient on Interfacial Stresses of a Bi-Material AssemblyD. Sujan, Z. Oo, M. V.V. Murthy, K. N. SeetharamuProblem statement: The thermal mismatch induced interfacial stresses are one of the major reliability issues in electronic packaging and composite materials. Consequently an understanding of the nature of the interfacial stresses under different temperature conditions is essential in order to eliminate or reduce the risk of structural and functional failure. Approach: In this analysis, a model was proposed for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInitial Hybrid Method for Analyzing Software Estimation, Benchmarking and Risk Assessment Using Design of SoftwareJ. Frank Vijay, C. ManoharanProblem statement: Estimation models in software engineering are used to predict some important attributes of future entities such as development effort, software reliability and programmers productivity. Among these models, those estimating software effort have motivated considerable research in recent years. Approach: In this study we discussed an available work on the effort estimation methods and also proposed a hybrid method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn The Estimation of Survival Function and Parameter Exponential Life Time DistributionHadeel Salim Al-Kutubi, Noor Akma IbrahimProblem statement: The study and research of survival or reliability or life time belong to the same area of study but they may belong to a different area of application. In survival analysis one can use several life time distribution, exponential distribution with mean life time θ is one of them. To estimate this parameter and survival function we must … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Agricultural Water Management Mechanisms in Zarindasht County, Fars Province, IranAli Asadi, Yaser Mohammadi, Hossein Shabanali FamiProblem statement: Both sequential droughts and lack of water optimal consumption in Zarindasht county, have created scarcity problem that caused agricultural yield’s loss in this county. So according to lack of optimal consumption of agricultural water in this county, the main purpose of this study was to investigate agricultural water management mechanisms in three fields of irrigation sources, water transfer … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkew Detection and Correction Technique for Arabic Document Images Based on Centre of GravityAtallah Mahmoud Al-Shatnawi, Khairuddin OmarProblem statement: Skew detection and correction is the first step process in the document analysis and understanding processing steps. Correction the skewed scanned document image is very important, because it has a direct effect on the reliability and efficiency of the segmentation and feature extraction stages. The noises and the deviation in the document resolution or types are still the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 30 May 2009 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Behavior of a Two-Unit Warm Standby System with Two Types of Repairmen and Patience TimeG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Y. Mahmoud AyidProblem statement: In this study we investigated the probabilistic analysis of a two-unit warm standby system with constant failure rate and two types of repairmen and patience time. The first repairman, usually called regular repairman, always remained with the repair facility, with the known fact that he might not be able to do some complex repairs within some tolerable (patience) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeoradar Measurements for the Snow Cover DensityA. GodioGround Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow density, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
