Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSize, Coupling and Cohesion Metrics for Product-Line Architecture Evaluation: Proposal and Experimental ValidationAndre F.R. Cordeiro, Edson OliveiraJrSoftware Product Line (SPL) is an approach for de facto reusing of software artifacts for a given domain. Amongst the artifacts developed in the context of SPL is the Product-Line Architecture (PLA). It is one of the central artifacts of the SPL core assets responsible for abstracting a common architecture for specific products. Organizations should continuously evaluate the quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 22 Mar 2018 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVariability Resolution and Product Configuration with SMarty: An Experimental Study on UML Class DiagramsAnderson S. Marcolino, Edson OliveiraJr, Itana M.S. Gimenes, Ellen F. BarbosaVariability management is one of the most important activities during software product line development and evolution. Current literature presents several approaches for variability management, especially based on UML, such as, PLUS and SMarty. A systematic process with guidelines support SMarty. Existing literature for these kind of approaches provides slight experimental evidence of their effectiveness at product configuration. Thus, this is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 8 Jul 2017 · 7,697 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation and Experimental Analysis of a Demonstrative Solar Heating and Cooling Plant Installed in Naples (Italy)Annamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia et al.In this study the model of a Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system and its experimental setup are presented. The SHC system under investigation is a demonstration plant installed in Naples, based on flat plate solar collectors and a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In addition, two vertical tanks are installed as storage system. The balance of system includes: A cooling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2016 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePreliminary Experimental and Finite-Element Numerical Assessment of the Structural Performance of SMA-Reinforced GFRP SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Chiara BedonIn this study, the feasibility and potentiality of a novel design concept is explored by means of small scale experimental tests and Finite-Element numerical simulation. Taking advantage of the intrinsic potentiality of Shape-Memory Alloys wires able to work as adaptive actuators when subjected to joule heating, a 'smart-GFRP' concept consisting in Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (GFRP) structural members with a SMA reinforcement is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStanley Milgram’s Experiments and the Saving of the Possibility of DisobedienceAmihud GileadMilgram’s experiments have exposed the bitter truth that, against their moral standards, the great majority of subjects actually obey malevolent authorities and are ready to cause great suffering, even death, to innocent victims. The reason for such unexpected and shocking behavior can be perfectly explained in the light of panenmentalist philosophy, according to which individual pure possibilities and their relations … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 23 May 2016 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRisk Factors to Alcohol Law Violations in the Community: Quasi-Experimental StudyWuttiphong Phakdeekul, Pramote Thongkrajai, Peem Eiamprapai, Manop KanatoProblem statement: Alcohol-related health problems such as chronic and acute diseases, accidents/injuries and social problems are well recognized. Although many countries including Thailand enact laws to control alcohol problems, missing data in Thailand cannot reveal efficacy of law enforcement and compliance with the public. The aim of this study was to investigate the proportion of Thai people violating alcohol laws … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Modeling of Pile-Leg Interaction in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Cyclic Inelastic BehaviorM.R. Honarvar, M.R. Bahaari, B. AsgarianOffshore platforms in seismically active areas should be designed to survive in the event of severe ground excitations with no global structural failure. The annulus between the pile and leg in jacket-type offshore platforms can be filled with cement grout as a means of reducing horizontal deflections, inhibiting corrosion and preventing local damages. This paper discusses an experimental approach which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNonlinear Models and Experimental Investigation of Lifetime History of HSC Flexural BeamsK. Masti, A.A. Maghsoudi, R. RahgozarThe nature of fracture in high strength concrete is brittle and therefore, the investigation behavior of flexural high strength concrete (HSC) members is important. This paper describes the deflection, strain and energy ductility and the lifetime history of experimental and theoretical analysis of six caste reinforced HSC beams with different percentage of ρ and ρρ'. The beams were loaded incrementally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalyzing the Electricity Consumption Using Experimental Design TechniqueS. F. Ghaderi, M. A. Azadeh, Sh. BamdadExperimental design technique is a powerful tool that is used in uncertainty cases, when a great amount of data is available. In this paper, the effects of different factors on the determination of electricity consumption are analyzed. This analysis is based on experimental design technique. The implementation of the proposed technique is shown applying electricity consumption in Iran. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
