Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Analysis of Hybrid Tool Estimator: An Integration of Risk with Software EstimationJ. Frank Vijay, C. ManoharanProblem statement: One important problem with software development projects is to get an early and nevertheless accurate estimation of the effort needed to complete the project within the schedule. In the literature various methods have been developed for this purpose. The most popular examples are Boehm’s COCOMO, Albrecht’s Function Point Method or Sneed’s object-point method. The two last named methods … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 25 Aug 2011 · 6,752 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Thai Expressive Speech using Fujisaki's Model and Structural ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody effects on not only the naturalness but also the intelligibility of speech. Focusing on synthesis of Thai expressive speech, a number of systems has been developed for years. However, the expressive speech with various speaking styles has not been accomplished. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 9 Aug 2011 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComputer Modeling of a CI Engine for Optimization of Operating Parameters Such as Compression Ratio, Injection Timing and Injection Pressure for Better Performance and Emission Using Diesel-Diesel Biodiesel BlendsM. Venkatraman, G. DevaradjaneProblem statement: The present work describes a theoretical investigation concerning the performance of a four strokes compression ignition engine, which is powered by alternative fuels in the form of diesel and diesel biodiesel blends. Approach: The developed simulation model used to estimate the cylinder pressure, heat release rate, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and engine out emissions. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 2 Aug 2011 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDifferent Sorption Approaches and Leachate Fluxes Affecting on Mn2+ Transport through Lateritic AquiferSrilert Chotpantarat, Chakkaphan SutthiratProblem statement: Contamination of the underlying aquifer beneath a mining area is usually of great concern even when a prevention plan has been implemented. Approach: To assess the potential risk of heavy metal contamination, the simulation of heavy metal transport was carried out with different leachate fluxes and sorption parameters derived from equilibrium models with linear and Langmuir isotherms and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,145 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization of Hydraulic Parameters of Iranshahr Alluvial AquiferJafar Rahnama-Rad, Mohammad Yaghoub Bavali, Reza DerakhshaniProblem statement: The Iranshahr aquifer consists of an unconfined layer. We simulated groundwater flow of the Iranshahr aquifer in a conceptual model. This model is a suitable tool for management of groundwater system and would also be effective when applied in other countries. Approach: In this study, we constructed the conceptual model of Iranshahr aquifer, which is important and applicable … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOil Refineries Emissions Impact on Urban Localities Using AERMODAmira Mohamed Wahba Abdelrasoul, Amir AL-Hadad, Abdul Rehman KhanProblem statement: The absolute necessity of compulsory fuel utilities, no matter small or big has resulted into substantial high hazards pollutants. Petroleum refineries are major industrial installations that are necessary for providing the best suited fuel for various necessary utilities, but are responsible of the emission of several hazardous pollutants into the atmosphere. Hydrocarbons are among the most perilous air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Linear Model for Moving Measurements Estimation in Urban Climate StudiesClaudia Cotrim Pezzuto, Lucila Chebel Labaki, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Alexandre Alexandre de Assis MotaProblem statement: Several methods can be adopted to study the variations in urban climate. The mobile measurement method is one of them, involving information provided by moving measurements of air temperature, that are taken in points defined along pre-established routes and also data from fixed-point temperature recording stations. Because moving measurements are made in different times along the measurement process, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSynchronization of Chaos Systems Using Fuzzy LogicMohammad Ababneh, Issa Etier, Mahmoud Smadi, Jasim GhaebProblem statement: This study presented a new and systematic method to robustly synchronize uncertain chaos systems. It was derived based on the observer approach for synchronization, where error dynamics was made asymptotically stable around the zero to accomplish synchronization. Approach: This method viewed the synchronization problem as a control problem in order to make use of the literature available in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFully Integrated Hydrocarbon Reservoir Studies: Myth or Reality?Christoforos Benetatos, Dario VibertiProblem statement: In the petroleum industry and especially during reservoir studies, data coming from different disciplines must be combined in order to generate a model that is representative of the reservoir being studied and can be used for defining the most viable development strategy of the field from both an economic and technical standpoint. Each of these disciplines represents an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 9,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOn Three-Way Unbalance Nested Analysis of VarianceSmaila S. Sanni, Eugene C. UkaegbuProblem statement: In this study, we give a simple analytically tractable procedure for solving three-way unbalanced nested Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In many realistic situations, unbalanced design was unavoidable due to natural constraints and missing data. Approach: Here, we present a comprehensive approach for addressing solutions of problems arising from unbalanced nested ANOVA. We consider the F-statistics under the different … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,717 accessesView PDFCite
