Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HYBRID INTELLIGENT MODEL FOR SOFTWARE COST ESTIMATIONWei Lin Du, Luiz Fernando Capretz, Ali Bou Nassif, Danny HoAccurate software development effort estimation is critical to the success of software projects. Although many techniques and algorithmic models have been developed and implemented by practitioners, accurate software development effort prediction is still a challenging endeavor in the field of software engineering, especially in handling uncertain and imprecise inputs and collinear characteristics. In this study, a hybrid intelligent model combining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2013 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeptospirosis in the Tropics: When Prevention Doesn't Easily Sell as a Ton of CureRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Human leptospirosis -- the most widespread zoonotic disease -- thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is seldom addressed ex ante or prior to an outbreak or expected outbreak by governments of high-risk countries. Whether common, post-exposure treatment with antimicrobial drugs is more cost-efficient than reducing animal reservoir populations was the overarching question that guided this study. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of A System with Preventive Maintenance by Using the Kolmogorov’s Forward Equations MethodKhaled Moh. El-SaidThis study deals with cost analysis of a two- unit cold standby redundant system with preventive maintenance.The random failure occurs at random times which follow an exponential distribution and also the repair time are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Using the Kolmogorov’s forward equations method. Several reliability characteristics are obtained. The mean time to system failure (MTSF) and the profit … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Brief Review of the Latest Advances of Attapulgite as a Reinforcing Agent in Polymer Matrix NanocompositesThais Ferreira da Silva, Gabriel Portilho Monteiro de Souza, Guilherme Ferreira de Melo Morgado et al.The development of polymeric nanocomposites using clay minerals as a Nano filler is of great interest to researchers and industry. Many clay minerals are used to modify the properties of the polymers; this strategy improves the thermal and mechanical performance and changes the surface finishing and the processing characteristics. The Attapulgite (ATP), which is a clay mineral of the hydrated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2021 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractFish Pond Storage Preserves Chili Puree, but Nitrogen Flow-Through Fails: Unravelling the MechanismDaimon Syukri, Rina Yenrina, Rini et al.Perishable food preservation in rural and resource-limited settings remains a significant challenge, as conventional techniques frequently depend on synthetic additives or energy-intensive processes incompatible with green chemistry principles. This study evaluated fish pond immersion as a novel, low-cost preservation method for freshly ground chili purée, investigating its efficacy with and without continuous nitrogen gas flow. Chili purée samples were packaged … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2026 · 1,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) on Photovoltaic Panels using Fuzzy Logic MethodAhmad Faizal, Sutoyo, Mulyono et al.Solar energy is a clean energy, renewable, and available for the long term. The tool used to convert the energy generated from the intensity of sunlight into electricity is photovoltaic panels. However, due to the high cost and low efficiency, the use of the energy is still kind small compared to other types of energy sources. Thus, the need for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Aug 2016 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Natural Frequencies through Modal and Harmonic Analysis of Space Frame Race Car Chassis Based on ANSYSMohammad Al Bukhari Marzuki, Mohammad Hadi Abd Halim, Abdul Razak Naina MohamedSpace frame chassis the preferred choice of chassis design due to its low cost, high strength, lightweight and safe qualities, which made it suitable for a single-seat race car application and an important aspect in the construction of the space frame race car chassis. Key sections of a space frame race car chassis consist of front and main hoops, side … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 2 Sep 2015 · 9,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical System Monitoring Based on Reflection Spectrum of Fiber Bragg GratingMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Nani Fadzlina Naim, Mastang Tanra, Harry RamzaProblem statement: This study presents fiber fault monitoring approaches for Fiber-to-the Home (FTTH) with a Passive Optical Network (PON). Current fiber fault monitoring approaches are difficult to be implemented due to its complexity and high loss as the amount of branches increase. Approach: A fiber fault monitoring scheme is proposed whereas Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is placed on each branch … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Apr 2012 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
