Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Generation and Recycling: Comparison of Conventional and Industrialized Building SystemsRawshan Ara Begum, Siti Khadijah Satari, Joy Jacqueline PereiraProblem statement: In the Malaysian construction industry, there is a pressing issue of minimizing construction waste, which cause significant impacts on the environment. With the increasing demand for major infrastructure projects, commercial buildings and housing development programmers, a large amount of construction waste is being produced. Adoption of prefabrication and industrialized building systems is now a priority in the industry … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep predicting model in masonry structure utilizing dynamic neural networkMustafa M. Abed, A. El-Shafie, Siti Aminah Bt. OsmanProblem statement: When the loads are applied to a brickwork structure, visco-elastic behavior upon their stress-strain relationships is exhibited, where the response can be classified into two separate parts: an instantaneous elastic strains and time-dependent creep strains. The creep strain represents the non- instantaneous strain that happens with time when the stress is sustained. Through the previous century, along with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoosting Kernel Discriminative Common Vectors for Face RecognitionC. Lakshmi, M. PonnavaikkoProblem statement: Kernel discriminative common vector (KDCV) was one of the most effective non-linear techniques for feature extraction from high dimensional data including images and text data. Approach: This study presented a new algorithm called Boosting Kernel Discriminative Common Vector (BKDCV) to further improve the overall performance of KDCV by integrating the boosting and KDCV techniques. Results: In BKDCV, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of KuwaitH. O. Al Jeran, A. R. KhanTroposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 19,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompetitiveness and Prospects of Greek Asparagus: The European ContextArgyrios D. Kolokontes, Anastasios SemosProblem statement: The revisions and the anticipated abolition of CAP will change the agricultural structure in member states of EU. Although the asparagus, without government interventions, from the decade of 90' has been transformed at one of more promising, in exports terms, cultivation for Greece, however under the existing circumstances it has a doubtful future. Approach: This research studied the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Question Answering System for the Arabic LanguageGhassan Kanaan, Awni Hammouri, Riyad Al-Shalabi, Majdi SwalhaWe depict the architecture of a question answering system and methodically evaluate contributions of different system components to accuracy. The system differs from most question answering systems in its dependency on data redundancy rather than complicated linguistic analyses of either questions or contender answers. Because a wrong answer is often worse than no answer. A Question Answering (QA) system is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Complete Automation of Unit Testing for JavaScript ProgramsM. AlshraidehProblem statement: Program testing is expensive and labor intensive, often consuming more than half of the total development costs, and yet it is frequently not done well and the results are not always satisfactory. The objective of this paper is to present an automatic test data generation tool that aims to completely automate unit testing of JavaScript functions. The methodology: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Measurement of Copper (II) Ion Adsorption in Activated Carbon Fixed Bed ColumnsTanokkorn Banjonglaiad, Eric Croiset, Peter Silveston et al.Dynamic experiments were carried out on the adsorption of copper (II) ions in a laboratory packed bed of activated carbon. Both pulse and step change inputs were used. Measurements were reproducible and replicate measurements furnished nearly identical parameters for a heterogeneous model of the activated carbon bed assuming Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The initial concentration of copper (II) ion was 3 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Price Survey Comparison of Alcoholic Beverages with the Five Basic Food Groups in Paraiba, BrazilCharles I. Abramson, Waylon Howard, Mia Zolna et al.The study of alcohol abuse is relatively new in Brazil. Government estimates suggest that 11.2% of the Brazilian population is alcohol dependent. Problems associated with alcohol dependence include domestic violence, increased risk of traffic accidents, poor self-esteem and weak academic performance. A factor known to correlate with alcohol abuse in 12-17 year olds is to have the money necessary to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
