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 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING BIT ERROR RATE ON WIRELESS DEEP FADING ENVIRONMENT RECEIVERSK. Jayanthi, V. P. Arunachalam, C. VasanthanayakiOne of the major challenges in wireless communication system is increasing complexity and reducing performance in detecting the received digital information in indoor and outdoor Environments. Consequently to overcome this problem we analyze the delay performance of a multiuser with perfect channel state information transmitting data on deep fading environment. In this proposed system, the Wireless Deep Fading Environment (WDFE) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2013 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAirway Metrics, Anatomy and Growth Performance of Pigs Reared Indoors and OutdoorsChakia Joi McClendon, Sherrell Pettiford, Dawn Conklin et al.While the swine industry has made incredible strides to improve ventilation, air quality in confinement buildings remains an issue. The goal of this study is to characterize correlation between large airway metrics and growth performance in piglets reared indoors and outdoors on pasture. Three experimental trials were conducted: Trial 1 included three breed types that were strictly raised indoors, Tamworth … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2013 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple-Input Multiple-Output Transmission Over a Multipath Faded ChannelsI.A.Z. QatawnehThe use of multiple antennas at the transmitter as well as at the receiver can greatly improve the capacity of a wireless link when operating in a rich scattering environment. In such an arrangement all transmitting antennas radiate in the same frequency band so the overall spectral efficiency becomes very high. Such a multiple antenna scheme, popularly known as Multiple … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 11 Mar 2013 · 6,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Volume Shadow using Visible-Non Visible AlgorithmHoshang Kolivand, Mohd Shahrizal Sunar, Azam Amirshakarami, Zhila RanjbariProblem statement: Shadows are most important effect to make realistic games and visually appealing images, but they are poor in frame per second. Silhouette detection is most important phases to create real-time shadow. Approach: Present study describes a real-time shadow generated with volume shadow algorithm using Visible-Non Visible algorithm (VNV) in virtual environment illuminated by a movable light source to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,988 accessesView PDFCite
