Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Efficiency Measurement of Parallel Production Systems: A Non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis ModelAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Mohd Rizam Abu Bakar, Lai Soon LeeProblem statement: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of production systems or Decision Making Units (DMU) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Sometimes, DMUs have a parallel structure, in which systems composed of parallel units work individually; the sum of their own inputs/outputs is the input/output of the system. For … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 9,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Resiliency of the Manhattan Points of Entry in the Face of Severe DisruptionMayada Omer, Ali Mostashari, Roshanak NilchianiProblem statement: Resilient infrastructure systems are able to continue to provide the expected service levels following disruptive events. Implementing resiliency in infrastructure systems requires knowledge of the current resiliency of the system and a methodology by which different resiliency strategies can be evaluated. In the transportation infrastructure in particular, disruptions cause delays, which will in turn incur substantial economic losses … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2011 · 9,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Steady State and Impulse Earth Resistance ValuesN. Mohamad Nor, R. RajabThis study presented experimental results of earthing systems under low-magnitude currents and under high impulse currents. The details of the measuring circuit involved for both types of testing were described. Three field sites were selected. At each site, three earth electrodes configurations were used. This makes up to nine earthing systems. From both low magnitude and impulse tests, the correlation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Transport Modeling in an Aquifer Downgradient a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in ItalyRajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaHeat generation inside municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is due to aerobic and anaerobic exothermic reactions occurring inside the waste. The result of heat generation and transport inside sanitary landfill leads to a temperature field that varies from mesophylic range (optimum at 30-40°C) to thermophylic range (optimum at 50-60°C). Due to high temperatures at the bottom of the landfill, liner … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison between Structural Element of Building Systems in MalaysiaM. R. Abdul Kadir, W. P. Lee, M. S. Jaafar et al.The Industrialized Building System (IBS) was introduced in Malaysia in 1966, but it failed to establish itself on a continuous basis though there has been a sustained large market for residential projects even since. One of the reasons behind this shortcoming is the lack of scientific data on labor productivity that could convince policy maker. Hence, the objective of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Ensemble Prediction Algorithms for Detecting Faulty Modules in Object Oriented Systems Using Quality MetricsM. Punithavalli, C. NeelamegamThe high usage of software system poses high quality demand from users, which results in increased software complexity. To address these complexities, software quality engineering methods should be updated accordingly and enhance their quality assuring methods. Fault prediction, a sub-task of SQE, is designed to solve this issue and provide a strategy to identify faulty parts of a program, so … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 20 Dec 2012 · 6,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Characterisation using High-Resolution Signal Processing Based on Five-Port Techniques for Signal Input Multiple Output SystemsSmari Mouheddin, Bel hadj Taher JamelProblem statement: The development of wideband mobile communication systems requires a deep knowledge of the characteristics of the indoor mobile radio channel. The characterization of the indoor multi-path propagation structure is important in developing antifading techniques for high-speed digital radio access. The high-resolution of the estimation of the Time of Arrival (ToA) and the Direction of Arrival (DoA) of multi-path … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Contamination Degree of Characteristic Fungi in Jet Fuel Detected by ATP BioluminescenceZezhen Li, Yun Xiong, Bo Chen, ZhenQiao MaAdenosine Triphosphate (ATP) lysate of the characteristic fungi in jet fuel was screened and three fluorescein-luciferase systems were compared in the paper. The correlation between ATP bioluminescence and traditional plate count for measuring the number of microorganism was also investigated and then a method of detecting the contamination degree of the characteristic fungi of jet fuel by ATP bioluminescence were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 28 May 2018 · 10,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Time Required to Detect Induced Sow Lameness Using an Embedded Microcomputer-Based Force Plate SystemBrady McNeil, Julia Calderón Díaz, Caitlyn Bruns et al.Lameness in swine breeding herds is a common cause of compromised animal well-being and economic loss to pig producers. Current lameness assessment methods are subjective and require intensive training. It has been shown that embedded microcomputer-based force plate systems can detect lameness by measuring weight distributions in livestock. The objective of this study was to determine the minimum time required … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 May 2018 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Message Passing Interface Collective Communication on Intel Xeon Quad-Core Gigabit Ethernet and Infiniband ClustersRoswan Ismail, Nor Asilah Wati Abdul Hamid, Mohamed Othman, Rohaya LatipThe performance of MPI implementation operations still presents critical issues for high performance computing systems, particularly for more advanced processor technology. Consequently, this study concentrates on benchmarking MPI implementation on multi-core architecture by measuring the performance of Open MPI collective communication on Intel Xeon dual quad-core Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand clusters using SKaMPI. It focuses on well known collective communication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 May 2013 · 7,206 accessesView PDFCite
