EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMembrane Computing as the Paradigm for Modeling Systems BiologyRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinMembrane computing is a field in computer science that is inspired from the structure and the processes of living cells and is being considered as an alternative in solving the limitations in conventional mathematical approaches by taking into consideration its essential features that are of interest for research in systems biology. Advancements in computability make it feasible to handle huge … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2013 · 6,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnaerobic Transformation of Biodegradable Waste; Simultaneous Production of Energy and FertilizerAmirhossein Malakahmad, Syazana Nasrudin, Noor Ezlin Ahmad Basri, Shahrom Md ZainAlmost 40% of the total waste produced in developing countries is made of biodegradable waste. Typically the waste including the biodegradable portion is transported to the so-called landfills without any segregation process, treatment and utilization in advance. Although mitigation practices such as source reduction, reuse and recycle are essential and required to be practiced in any integrated waste management plan, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2013 · 7,376 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrition in Tertiary Education: Biological and Social ApproachesG. A. Fragkiadakis, C. Papandreou, K. GkouskouProblem statement: Human Nutrition, a necessary component of health-education, studies the food-depended growth/maintenance of the human body. To approach what nutritionists will need to apply in the 21st century, we searched the literature for new syllabus-fields. Approach: We detected fields likely to play a significant and innovative role in university teaching of Human Nutrition; then tried a synthesis of biological … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fast Hybrid Algorithm Approach for the Exact String Matching Problem Via Berry Ravindran and Alpha Skip Search AlgorithmsAbdulwahab Ali AlmazroiProblem statement: String matching algorithm had been an essential means for searching biological sequence database. With the constant expansion in scientific data such as DNA and Protein; the development of enhanced algorithms have even become more critical as the major concern had always been how to raise the performances of these search algorithms to meet challenges of scientific information. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaugmentative Approaches for Dairy Wastewater TreatmentIrina Schneider, Yana TopalovaProblem statement: The achievement of a good ecological status of water receivers after discharge of waste or partially treated water from dairy industry requires harmonic interaction between water treatment technology and self-purification processes. Approach: The present research included two modules. First: an anaerobic treatment process for dairy wastewater in broadly spread sequencing batch bioreactor with fixed biomass was studied. As … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 8,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling A Multi-Compartments Biological System with Membrane ComputingRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Most of the biological systems have been hierarchical in structure with processes interacting between different compartments. Membrane computing formalism has provided modeling capabilities in representing the structure of biological systems. Approach: This study was carried to investigate the modeling of a multi-compartment biological system by using membrane computing formalism. The hormone-induced calcium oscillations in liver cells which was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 10 Aug 2010 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimenting the Simulation Strategy of Membrane Computing with Gillespie Algorithm by Using Two Biological Case StudiesRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd ZinProblem statement: The evolution rules of membrane computing have been applied in a nondeterministic and maximally parallel way. In order to capture these characteristics, Gillespie’s algorithm has been used as simulation strategy of membrane computing in simulating biological systems. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the simulation strategy of membrane computing with Gillespie algorithm in comparison to the simulation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 6,941 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerobic Biostabilization of Old MSW LandfillsM.C. ZanettiMany years after the end of the cultivation phase, landfills may generate intense odours, toxic and explosive gases and heavily-polluted leachate. A wide-spreading trend in the management of MSW landfills is represented by the forced aeration of wastes in order to achieve the stabilization, reducing the negative environmental impact of uncontrolled sites (old landfills which can be definitely considered as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
