Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Thermal Comfort of Different Building Materials in Sana’aMousa Ahmed Alhaddad, Zhou Tie JunThis study describes the impact of alternative building material envelope systems on the overall thermal performance of four selected materials used in Sana’a, Yemen. These systems included adobe, brick, stone and concrete block. After thorough on-site investigation and data collection, the information, along with regional weather data were input into the Ecotect energy simulation software for thermal performance evaluation. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2013 · 8,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview on Studying 222Rn Exhalation Rates using Passive Technique Solid-State Nuclear Track DetectorsMohamed Abd-ElzaherProblem statement: Uranium is a radiotoxic element found in trace quantities in alomost all natural accurring materials like soil, rock. Radon an inert radioactive gas whose predecessor in uranium, is emitted from soil beneath the house and from building materials. Accurate knowledge of exhalation rate plays an important role in characterization of the radon source strength in some building materials … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Contractor Perception Towers Industrialised Building System Risk in Construction Projects in MalaysiaSalihudin Hassim, Mohd Saleh Jaafar, Saiful Azri Abu Hasan SazalliThe use of IBS (Industrialised Building System) has attracted a lot of countries like Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. This system can replace the conventional building system which is labour oriented. However, since the first project of IBS in year 1964 till today, IBS in Malaysia is not well accepted by the construction parties because of failure … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of Adders using Nanotechnology Based Quantum dot Cellular AutomataS. Karthigai Lakshmi, G. AthishaProblem statement: The area and complexity are the major issues in circuit design. Here, we propose different types of adder designs based on Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) that reduces number of QCA cells and area compare to previous designs. The quantum dot cellular automata is a novel computing paradigm in nanotechnology that can implement digital circuits with faster speed, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 7,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndex Financial Time Series Based on Zigzag-Perceptually Important PointsAli Selamat, Chawalsak Phetchanchai, Tanzila Saba, Amjad RehmanProblem statement: Financial time series were usually large in size, unstructured and of high dimensionality. Since, the illustration of financial time series shape was typically characterized by a few number of important points. These important points moved in zigzag directions which could form technical patterns. However, these important points exhibited in different resolutions and difficult to determine. Approach: In this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 2 Nov 2010 · 9,464 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBritish Airways is Ordering up to 42 Boeing 777-9s Aeronaves to Modernize the UK Flag Carriers Long-Haul FleetRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe Boeing 777 (sometimes referred to as Triple 7) is a large-capacity subsonic long-haul bomber aircraft built by the American company Boeing. This type of aircraft holds the current record of autonomy for commercial jets (17,450 km without food). Other special features of the aircraft include the perfect circular fuselage, a set of six wheels on each axle of the … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2020 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredictive Dynamics of Channel Pattern Changing Trends at Arial Khan River (1977-2018), BangladeshRathindra Nath Biswas, Md. Juel Mia, M. Nazrul IslamArial Khan River is right bank distributary of Ganges-Padma River systems flowing southwest region of Bangladesh. It is morphologically very dynamic meandering river: where the delta-building process is more active than other distributaries of Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) River basin. This study analyzes, morphological variables- channel length, valley length, channel area and channel patterns of Arial Khan River. A major portion of … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2018 · 9,800 accessesView PDFCite
