Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability-Based Earthquake Design of Jacket-Type Offshore Platforms Considering Pile-Soil-Structure InteractionBehrouz Asgarian, Hossein AgheshluiThere are plenty of uncertainties in environmental condition of ocean and also in platform element capacities. Reliability-based method could consider these uncertainties. A reliability-based earthquake design method was used to determine the earthquake LRFD parameters for two conventional, steel, pile-supported (template-type) offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. The pile-soil-structure interaction, the buckling and postbuckling behavior of the braces were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Urban Land Development Using Multi-Criteria Decision Model and Geographical Information System (A Case Study of Babolsar City)Sedigheh Lotfi, Kiomarth Habibi, Mohammad Javad KoohsariProblem Statement: The unplanned physical expansion of cities has been one of the most important problems of urban management in developing countries. Iran, like other developing world has experienced a high level of urbanization growth which transformed the physical fabric of urban areas. North of Iran is one of most rapid growing region of the country where the moderate climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerceptions of Paddy Farmers towards Sustainable Agricultural Technologies: Case of Haraz Catchments Area in Mazandaran province of IranA. Bagheri, H. Shabanali Fami, A. Rezvanfar et al.Sustainable agriculture has defined and described in many ways. Despite the diversity in conceptualizing sustainable agriculture, there is a consensus on three basic dimensions of the concept, namely, ecological soundness economically viable and socially acceptable. The dimensions of ecological soundness refers to the preservation and improvement of the natural environment. Environmental issues emerge from the human use of natural resources. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Influencing the Extent of Practice of Organic Farming Technologies: A Case Study of Tangail District in BangladeshMd. Asaduzzaman Sarker, Yoshihito ItoharaThe study was attempted to explore the major factors influencing the extent of practice of organic farming technologies (called OFTs from here) by the Bangladeshi farmers. The empirical data for the study were collected from the organic farmers of the selected villages of Tangail district in Bangladesh. The results of the study identified four factors like development of knowledge and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal SO2 Emissions from Power Stations and Evaluation of their Impact in Kuwait Using a Gaussian Plume Dispersion ModelA.A. Ramadan, M. Al-Sudairawi, S. Alhajraf, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, most of the power stations use fuel oil as the prime source of energy. The sulphur content (S%) of the fuel used as well as other factors have a direct impact on the ground level concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2) released by power stations into the atmosphere. The SO2 ground level concentration has to meet the environmental standards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeature Selection in Data-Mining for Genetics Using Genetic AlgorithmV. N. Rajavarman, S. P. RajagopalanWe discovered genetic features and environmental factors which were involved in multifactorial diseases. To exploit the massive data obtained from the experiments conducted at the General Hospital, Chennai, data mining tools were required and we proposed a 2-Phase approach using a specific genetic algorithm. This heuristic approach had been chosen as the number of features to consider was large (upto … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaking Sense of Industrial Accidents: The Role of Job SatisfactionSeth A. Gyekye, Simo SalminenThe study examined causality attributions made for workplace accidents and how these attributions may be influenced by job satisfaction. It was part of an extensive exploratory work on causal attributions for industrial accidents in Ghana's work environment. It was carried out in a field setting where the participants were actual accident victims (n=121), co-workers (n=117) and supervisors (n=82) at their … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Postgenomic Era: Transcriptomic as the New Paradigm of LifeBruno Giardina, Marcella Renis, Vito Latora, Salvatore MusumeciNow that complete genome sequences are available for a variety of organism, the elucidation of single gene function involved in the metabolism, includes necessarily a better understanding of the cellular responses on all levels of gene products, mRNA, proteins and metabolites. Such knowledge’s growth is essential since the observable properties of living organisms, so called phenotypes, are the results of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Water Quality in RiversLiren Yu, N. N.B. SalvadorThis study reports a PC software, used in a Windows-based environment, which was developed based on the first order reaction of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and a modified Streeter and Phelps equation, in order to simulate and determine the variations of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and of the BOD along with the studied river reaches. The software considers many impacts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,858 accessesView PDFCite
