Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMembrane Computing as a Modeling Tool for Discrete SystemsRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Discrete systems have been modeled by using Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) in which the variation of concentration of an object was modeled as continuous and deterministic manner, contrary to the real behaviors of such systems. Although, this approaches able to generate the general behavior of the system, the specific discrete processes and stochastic behaviors in the system have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 24 Aug 2011 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCredit Market Development and Economic Growth an Empirical Analysis for GreeceAthanasios Vazakidis, Antonios AdamopoulosProblem statement: This study investigated the relationship between credit market development and economic growth for Greece for the period 1979-2007 using a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Questions were raised whether economic growth spurs credit market development taking into account the negative effect of inflation rate on credit market development. This study aimed to investigate the short-run and the long-run … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Partial Oxidation and Carbon Dioxide Reforming Process: A Thermodynamic StudySompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: CO2 reforming is one of the methods to utilize a greenhouse gas to produce syngas, an important feed for methanol and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. However, CO2 reforming is strong endothermic reaction requiring large amount of supplied energy. Partial oxidation, an exothermic reaction, is combined with CO2 reforming to serve the energy requirement. Thus, the optimum ranges of O2 and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRock Slopes Failure Susceptibility Analysis: From Remote Sensing Measurements to Geographic Information System Raster ModulesFilipello Andrea, Giuliani Andrea, Mandrone GiuseppeProblem statement: Two important step can be recognised in the rockfall analysis: the potential failure detection and the run out simulation. Analyzing the stability of rock slopes, most important kinematisms are planar or wedge slidings and topplings. The aim of this study was to coupling a deterministic approach for landslide initiation (potential rockfall source areas) with a runout analysis by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,623 accessesView PDFCite
