Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdopting Intelligent Modelling to Trace Fault in Underground Optical Network: A Comprehensive SurveyOwusu Nyarko-Boateng, Adebayo F. Adekoya, Benjamin A. WeyoriAiming at building new global optical network infrastructure optimized with fault tracing capabilities, light transmission monitoring, packets re-routing and reconfigurations require an intelligent optical transmission system. An intelligent approach to solve the increasingly complex problems, to enhance fault tracing in the underground optical network infrastructure need to be adopted. For over forty decades now, Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) technology … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 10 · 13 Oct 2020 · 6,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,562 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMPROVEMENT OF THE COMPUTATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ZONAL MODEL POMA USING PARALLEL TECHNIQUESYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Kenneth M. Flurchick, Dukka Bahadur K.C.The zonal modeling approach is a new simplified computational method used to predict temperature distribution, energy in multi-zone building and indoor airflow thermal behaviors of building. Although this approach is known to use less computer resource than CFD models, the computational time is still an issue especially when buildings are characterized by complicated geometry and indoor layout of furnishings. Therefore, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2014 · 7,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL PRESSURIZED ZONAL MODEL USING THE MOMENTUM EQUATIONYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriZonal models combine the simplicity of single and multi-zone models with the comprehensiveness of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and thus become a better substitute to predict detailed thermal and airflow behaviors in building. Based on a geometric partitioning of a room into a number of subzones, these models give more accurate and detailed results than the single or multi-zone … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 8,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Thermal Comfort of Different Building Materials in Sana’aMousa Ahmed Alhaddad, Zhou Tie JunThis study describes the impact of alternative building material envelope systems on the overall thermal performance of four selected materials used in Sana’a, Yemen. These systems included adobe, brick, stone and concrete block. After thorough on-site investigation and data collection, the information, along with regional weather data were input into the Ecotect energy simulation software for thermal performance evaluation. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2013 · 8,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview on Studying 222Rn Exhalation Rates using Passive Technique Solid-State Nuclear Track DetectorsMohamed Abd-ElzaherProblem statement: Uranium is a radiotoxic element found in trace quantities in alomost all natural accurring materials like soil, rock. Radon an inert radioactive gas whose predecessor in uranium, is emitted from soil beneath the house and from building materials. Accurate knowledge of exhalation rate plays an important role in characterization of the radon source strength in some building materials … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,793 accessesView PDFCite
