Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimating the Scouring Depth of Bridge Pier Using Self-Organizing Neural Networks (SOM)Abolfazl Rafat, Gholam Abbas Barani, Amineh NaseriScouring is caused as a result of erosion of river bed by water flow and materials carried by water. This research estimates the scouring depth using self-organizing neural network (SOM). The obtained findings were compared with findings of other models. It was found that self- organizing neural network (SOM) has higher correlation coefficient (0.98), compared to other methods. It was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2017 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Self-Concept Participatory Learning Model for the Improvement of Literacy Skills of the Learners in Community Learning CentresMumun Munawaroh, Dasim Budimansyah, Enceng Mulyana, Ace SuryadiIlliteracy eradication manifests as an important and a common aspect in many countries' development agendas as well as in the United Nation's development initiatives. Indonesia is one of such countries. Based on the data of 2004, Indonesia has at least 28 regencies that still have high illiteracy rates. This condition hinders national growth and development of a country. With a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2017 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite

This study was designed to assess the prevalence and pattern of antibiotic usage for self diagnosed diseases among the medical and pharmacy students. This was a questionnaire based cross sectional study conducted among … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 Dec 2016 · 13,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA CAE Scheme Using ECC Based Self Certified PKCManoj Kumar Chande, Cheng-Chi Lee, Chun-Ta LiThe Convertible Authentication Encryption (CAE) scheme, allows the signer to generate an authentic ciphertext signature, which can be recuperated and validated by a specific recipient only. In case of any kind of dispute the recipient is capable enough to convert the ciphertext signature as a normal signature and that can be validated publicly. The CAE schemes are used for transformation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 23 Dec 2016 · 6,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Solution of First Order Initial Value Problems Using a Self-Starting Implicit Two-Step Obrechkoff-Type Block MethodZurni Omar, Oluwaseun AdeyeyeThe conventional two-step implicit Obrechkoff method is a discrete scheme that requires additional starting values when implemented for the numerical solution of first order initial value problems. This paper therefore presents a two-step implicit Obrechkoff-type block method which is self-starting for solving first order initial value problems, hence bypassing the rigour of developing and implementing new starting values for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2016 · 8,078 accessesView PDFCite
