Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBuilding Resilience in Natural Capital to Reduce Disaster Risks and Adapt to Climate Change: A Case of Wetlands in the Eastern Free State; South AfricaJohanes A. Belle, Nacelle Collins, Andries JordaanWetlands are a form of natural capital which provide services that improve the welbeing of the local community. Unfortunately many wetlands have been degraded before their values and functions were realised. Using a system thing appraoach and a mixed research method, this article collected primary data from 176 respondents using questionnaires. Besides, 21 wetlands were observed using field observation data … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 12 Oct 2017 · 7,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModerating Effects of IT Applications on IT Capability and Competitive AdvantageLew Sook LingGenerally, this study aims to assist domestic companies to determine appropriate Information Technology (IT) applications to attain Competitive Advantage (CA). Specifically, this study aims to assess enhancement causes by IT applications between IT capability and CA. A new CA model by incorporating IT applications in organizations is then proposed. Pilot study was used to test a set of newly developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 5 Oct 2017 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFailure Mode and Pullout Capacity of Anchor Piles in ClayYanbing Zhao, Haixiao Liu, Mengyuan LiuAnchor piles are wildly adopted in mooring systems. However, there are still challenges in predicting the failure mode and pullout capacity of the pile. Previous Finite Element (FE) analysis was all based on the traditional small strain FE analysis. The whole pullout process of the pile cannot be simulated. Hence, the failure mode of the pile is hard to be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMarket Demand and Production Capacity Expansion of Hydrogen Peroxide in BangladeshMohammad Rafiqul Islam, Mohammad Khairul Islam SarkarThe work on production capacity expansion of hydrogen peroxide plants is part of an extensive research. In this research, the expansion of hydrogen peroxide plant, including the local current production and market demands of hydrogen peroxide has been highlighted. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the basic chemicals. The market size of hydrogen peroxide in Bangladesh has been ever bigger … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 23 May 2017 · 11,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrediction of Residual Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns Subjected to Extreme Dynamic LoadsMasoud Abedini, Azrul A. Mutalib, Sudharshan N. Raman et al.The evaluation of residual axial load carrying capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns to explosion load is significant for protection of buildings. The few investigations conducted on residual axial load carrying capacity of RC columns when subjected to blast loads. Therefore, the overall aim of this research is to generate equations on the blast capacity of axially and uniaxial loaded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2017 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLow Power Multiplier by Effective Capacitance ReductionNageshwar Reddy Peddamgari, Damu RadhakrishnanIn this study we present an energy efficient multiplier design based on effective capacitance minimization. Only the partial product reduction stage in the multiplier is considered in this research. The effective capacitance at a node is defined as the product of capacitance and switching activity at that node. Hence to minimize the effective capacitance, we decided to ensure that the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2017 · 7,462 accessesView PDFCite

The AEC opens the gate for all countries to invest and have better mutual cooperation. Indonesia experienced a big leap from 50 to 37 in the World Economic Forum (WEF) competitiveness ranking. As … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 8 Feb 2017 · 8,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBlind Pre-Coder for MIMO System Capacity EnhancementEman Al Khader, Shereen S. IsmailIn this study, linear scheme at the transmitter is proposed as a blind pre-coder to improve the performance and enhance the channel capacity of MIMO systems with certain configurations for transmitting and receiving antennas over fading channels. This is accomplished by generating a specific linear pre-coder matrix without having any prior information about the Channel State (CS) matrix. Simulation results … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2017 · 7,688 accessesView PDFCite
