Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Tunnel Face Stability through a Ground Stress Analysis with a Hemispherical Geometry ApproximationPierpaolo OresteThe evaluation of the stability of the excavation face is an important aspect in the design of a tunnel. When it is not possible to ensure excavation face stability in natural conditions, it is in fact necessary to intervene with remarkably costly reinforcement operations. The analysis of the stability conditions of an excavation face can be conducted, with a certain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 8 Jan 2015 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR A SIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF COST-RISK REDUCTION UNDER A JUST-IN-TIME ADAPTIONFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerJust-In-Time (JIT) as a lean manufacturing approach plays a significant role in minimising costs and performances of products and services supplied to the global marketplace. However, there are many potential risks that cause significant disruptions to all supply chain members. This study proposes a genetic approach for optimising a novel mathematical model for simultaneously minimising the total cost of a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2014 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMPROVEMENT OF THE COMPUTATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ZONAL MODEL POMA USING PARALLEL TECHNIQUESYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Kenneth M. Flurchick, Dukka Bahadur K.C.The zonal modeling approach is a new simplified computational method used to predict temperature distribution, energy in multi-zone building and indoor airflow thermal behaviors of building. Although this approach is known to use less computer resource than CFD models, the computational time is still an issue especially when buildings are characterized by complicated geometry and indoor layout of furnishings. Therefore, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2014 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL PRESSURIZED ZONAL MODEL USING THE MOMENTUM EQUATIONYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriZonal models combine the simplicity of single and multi-zone models with the comprehensiveness of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and thus become a better substitute to predict detailed thermal and airflow behaviors in building. Based on a geometric partitioning of a room into a number of subzones, these models give more accurate and detailed results than the single or multi-zone … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiMultidrug resistant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections and is on the rise. The aim of this investigation was to explore the prevalence of MRSA and heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Staphylococcus Aureus (hGISA) in various clinical samples, to investigate the various antibiotic resistant determinant genes among these strains collected from north and west … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNON-COOPERATIVE IRIS RECOGNITION: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SEGMENTATION AND FAKE IDENTIFICATIONM. Rajeev Kumar, M. Dilsath Fathima, K. Kiruthika, M. S. SaravananIris recognition, the ability to recognize and distinguish individuals by their pattern, is the most reliable biometric in terms of recognition and identification performance. However, performance of these systems is affected by the heterogeneous images (regarding focus, contrast, or brightness) and with several noise factors (iris obstruction and reflection) when the cooperation is not expectable from the subject. Current Iris … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Occluded Face Image using Mean Based Weight Matrix and Support Vector MachineG. Nirmala Priya, R. S.D. Wahida BanuProblem statement: Face occlusion is a very challenging problem in face recognition. The performance of face recognition system decreases drastically due to the presence of partial occlusion on the face. Extracting discriminative features to achieve accurate detection versus computational overhead in extracting the features, which affects the classification speed, would be a sustained problem. The objective of this study is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 5 Jul 2012 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Stability of Underground Rock Pillars through a Probabilistic ApproachMassimo Guarascio, Pierpaolo OresteProblem statement: When the room and pillar mining method is adopted, the dimensioning of the rock pillars is one of the most important aspects that need to be faced from the engineering point of view. The available calculation methods are usually simplified and involve the areas of influence method for the evaluation of the mean axial stress induced in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 30 Jun 2012 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Web Usage Miner Using Decisive Induction RulesK. Poongothai, S. SathiyabamaProblem statement: Web usage mining is the technique of extracting useful information from server logs (user’s history) and finding out what users are looking for on the Internet. This type of web mining allows for the collection of Web access data for Web pages. Scope: The web usage data provides the paths leading to accessed Web pages with prefrences and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
