However, this style is now prone to extinction. This is due to the lack of studies which clarify the characteristics of architecture style in the traditional architecture of the city and benefit from it for future designs and to maintain the architecture identity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNoise Control Using Coconut Coir Fiber Sound Absorber with Porous Layer Backing and Perforated PanelRozli Zulkifli, Zulkarnain, Mohd Jailani Mohd NorProblem statement: Noise control was one of the major requirements to improve the living environment. One of the methods to do that is provided by sound absorber. Commonly, multi-layer sound absorbers are applied to absorb broadband noise that was composed of perforated plates, air space and porous material. However, multi-layers sound absorbers effectiveness depends on their construction. This study was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 14,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Tunnel Boring Machine Advancement on the Bologna-Florence Railway LinkM. Cardu, P. Oreste, T. CicalaProblem statement: The high-velocity railway link between Bologna and Firenze (Italy) is today under construction and several tunnels have to be excavated for this purpose, some of these using TBMs. A small diameter tunnel, named Cunicolo ginori, was realized by TBM parallel to a large railway tunnel (Vaglia), at the distance of only 35 m. Approach: The Vaglia tunnel had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater in the Urban Environment: Management Needs and Planning StrategiesStefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaProblem statement: Over the past thirty years urban transformations, such as urbanization, suburbanization, dis-urbanization and re-urbanization processes, have modified the subsurface conditions of Torino (NW Italy). In order to contribute to the solution of the problems concerning groundwater the conceptual model for the groundwater flow system, the schematization of the aquifers boundaries and the estimation of basic hydrogeological parameters are … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti Microkernel Operating Systems for Multi-Core ProcessorsRami MatarnehProblem statement: In the midst of the huge development in processors industry as a response to the increasing demand for high-speed processors manufacturers were able to achieve the goal of producing the required processors, but this industry disappointed hopes, because it faced problems not amenable to solution, such as complexity, hard management and large consumption of energy.
