Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Study of Self-Healing Concrete in Hot Desert ClimateBatoul Chamali, Moayyad Al-Nasra, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe hot and dry desert climate is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. This affects the strength of concrete negatively by the difficulty of providing proper curing and by generating early micro-cracks due to the high temperature. These two issues have been addressed in this study by adding calcite precipitating bacteria to deal with the micro-cracks and by adding … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 16 May 2019 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions to the Stirling Engine StudyFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn the process of transforming thermal energy into mechanical work, among the known thermal machines, the Stirling engine is the one that can achieve the highest yield (theoretically up to the maximum yield of the Carnot cycle), although in practice it is reduced by the properties of gas and materials used such as friction coefficient, thermal conductivity, melting point, breaking … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Technology for Agriculture at Extreme Altitudes: Design and Evaluation of a Sprinkler Irrigation System in a Peruvian High Andean CommunityJuan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Daniel Olivier Carranza Lizana et al.In high-altitude agroecosystems, erratic rainfall patterns and steep topography severely constrain crop productivity by exposing plants to soil water deficits during critical phenological stages. This study aimed to enhance the productivity of eleven staple and horticultural crops corn (Zea mays), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), eggplant (Solanum melongena), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), carrot (Daucus carota), barley (Hordeum vulgare), celery (Apium … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 2 Oct 2026 · 645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Assessment of Water Resource Sustainability in the Upper Amojú River Basin, Northern Peruvian AndesJuan Eduardo Suarez-Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Mayra Pamela Musayón Diaz et al.This study presents a comprehensive, statistically robust assessment of water resource sustainability in the upper section of the Amojú River Basin, Province of Jaén northern Peruvian Andes, using the Sarandón multi-cirteria methodology. A stratified convenience sample of n = 887 households distributed across 22 localities was surveyed, achieving a margin of error of ±2.61% at the 95% confidence level (finite-population … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2026 · 719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Environments on Reinforcement Concrete CorrosionMohammed Thalji Awwad, Omar Asad AhmadThis research focuses on various forms of steel bar corrosion located in different environments and the factors affecting the corrosion process, both the external (surrounding environment around concrete elements) and the internal environment (concrete itself), as well as on the investigations and tests for this type of damage, in order to develop measurements and recommendations that will reduce harmful investment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 15 Sep 2017 · 7,805 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Quality of Transport and Environmental Protection, Part IRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.The today main challenge to protect the environment through the development of new and more efficient transportation systems is presented. The absolutely necessary goods distribution and human transfers are polluting and damaging the environment and new solution should be envisaged; the conflicting strategies to adopt new types of environment friendly transportation while maintaining operative the more economically convenient, but largely … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 Sep 2017 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Approaches to Planning the Electricity Consumption in Budget InstitutionsNailya Malikovna Yakupova, Rezeda Muhtarovna Kundakchyan, Roza Nuriahmetovna Andreeva, Aleksey Vladimirovich AndreevThe technique of predicting the budget organizations' electrical power demands, which is currently used in Tatarstan Republic, based on the averaged norms for all educational establishments, does not reflect the impact of certain external and internal factors of environment influencing the volume of energy consumption, which results in the inefficient expenditure of the budget. This problem is especially topical for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2015 · 6,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINCORPORATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE INTO TEMPORAL DIFFERENCE NETWORKSBritton Wolfe, James HarpeDeveloping general purpose algorithms for learning an accurate model of dynamical systems from example traces of the system is still a challenging research problem. Predictive State Representation (PSR) models represent the state of a dynamical system as a set of predictions about future events. Our work focuses on improving Temporal Difference Networks (TD Nets), a general class of predictive state … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 18 Dec 2014 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContact with Nature and Children’s Wellbeing in Educational SettingsGiuseppe Carrus, Sabine Pirchio, Ylenia Passiatore et al.Problem statement: The study explores the role of the spatial-physical features of the environment for the functioning of educational institutions. Previous research in the field of environmental psychology showed how physical characteristics of learning environments might be linked to positive or negative outcomes in terms of learning attitudes and behaviors. In particular, there is consistent empirical evidence showing that contact … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2012 · 14,396 accessesView PDFCite
