Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination and Source Apportionment of Selected Heavy Metals in Aerosol Samples Collected from SebeleAlfred Sello Likuku, Gilbert Kabelo Gaboutloeloe, Khumoetsile B. MmolawaBush fires and dust in the dry winter months establish moderately high background levels of aerosols. Emissions into the atmosphere by copper mines, coal mines and vehicular emissions are all possible sources of air pollution with heavy metals. Although there has been assessment and monitoring of heavy metals and their air pollution in other countries such as Brazil, Europe and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2013 · 7,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Methodological Framework for Software Safety in Safety Critical Computer SystemsP. V. Srinivas Acharyulu, P. SeetharamaiahSoftware safety must deal with the principles of safety management, safety engineering and software engineering for developing safety-critical computer systems, with the target of making the system safe, risk-free and fail-safe in addition to provide a clarified differentaition for assessing and evaluating the risk, with the principles of software risk management. Problem statement: Prevailing software quality models, standards were not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 16 Aug 2012 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Joint Flexibility on Overall Behavior of Jacket Type Offshore PlatformsMasoud Mirtaheri, Hossein Ali Zakeri, Pejman Alanjari, Mohammad Amin AssarehProblem Statement: Nonlinear behavior of offshore structure is attracting tremendous amount of attention in recent years. Response of these structures is strictly dependent upon behavior of their joints. Because of the lack of information about this part of a structure, most of the recent analysis and designs do not contain appropriate material in the case of joints. In most cases, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Consequences of HIV and Drug AuseArun Venkatesan, Ola Selnes, Valerie Wojna et al.Accurate assessment of the functional consequences of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and drugs of abuse are critical as large populations are afflicted with both. Both are interdependent epidemics with important socioeconomic consequences. Experimental studies in animal models and in vitro clearly indicate that HIV and drugs of abuse cause increased neurodegeneration, glial cell activation and enhanced HIV replication. Nevertheless, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Deep Learning Framework for Classifying and Evaluating Yoga ExercisesMehar Latif Malik, Arun KhoslaYoga is a type of physical activity that combines physical postures with breathing techniques. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of illness and mortality. Yoga's potential involvement in cardiac recovery can be incorporated into cardiovascular rehabilitation. Classifying and evaluating yoga exercises using a deep learning framework plays a significant role in postoperative recovery. Home based rehabilitation often suffers from a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 30 Jan 2023 · 6,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,555 accessesView PDFCite
