Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE APPLICATION OF LIFE CYCLE COST (LCC) APPROACH TO QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN THE PARMA PDO HAM SECTORMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziIn the international literature, the subject of the analysis of the cost of production is often confined to the analysis of short-term convenience. However, the quantification of the cost of production per unit of product has a particular importance in the processing enterprises, especially in the initial phase of choice that concerns realization of investments in facilities and technologies to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 5 Jul 2014 · 9,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT FOR OIL PALM BASED PLYWOOD: A GATE-TO-GATE CASE STUDYM. Shamim Ahmad, Vijaya Subramaniam, Halimah Mohammad et al.Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool for identifying potential environmental impacts associated with the production of palm based plywood. This study is to make available the life cycle inventory for gate-to-gate data so that the environmental impact posed by oil palm based plywood production can be assessed. Conducting an LCA on the palm based plywood that are derived … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2014 · 9,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign an Advance Computer-Aided Tool for Image Authentication and ClassificationRozita Teymourzadeh, Amirize Alpha Laadi, Yazan Samir Algnabi et al.Over the years, advancements in the fields of digital image processing and artificial intelligence have been applied in solving many real-life problems. This could be seen in facial image recognition for security systems, identity registrations. Hence a bottleneck of identity registration is image processing. These are carried out in form of image preprocessing, image region extraction by cropping, feature extraction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2013 · 6,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation Metrics for Wireless Sensor Network Security: Algorithms Review and Software ToolQasem Abu Al-Haija, Mohamed H. Shwehdi, Muhammad BanatWireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is currently receiving a significant attention due to their potential impact into several real life applications such as military and home automation technology. The work in this study is a complementary part of what’s discussed. In this study, we propose a software tool to simulate and evaluate the six evaluation metrics presented for non-deterministic wireless sensor … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 27 May 2013 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Life Cycle Assessment and Other Tools for Ex Ante Integrated Sustainability Assessment in the Minerals IndustryDeborah J Shields, Gian Andrea Blengini, Slavko V. SolarProblem statement: The minerals industry is faced with choices beginning in the exploration phase and extending over the life cycle of mine. Firms examine the technical feasibility of alternative actions and typically rank them based on economic performance. Increasingly firms also consider alternatives' contribution to sustainable development. Approach: Sustainable decision making before investment (ex ante decisions) should incorporate a broad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Neuro Fuzzy Technique for Process Grain Scheduling of Parallel JobsS. V. Sudha, K. ThanushkodiProblem statement: We present development of neural network based fuzzy inference system for scheduling of parallel Jobs with the help of a real life workload data. The performance evaluation of a parallel system mainly depends on how the processes are co scheduled?
