Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Network Based Model for Forecasting Sugar Cane ProductionO. O. Obe, D. K. ShangodoyinProblem statement: The global need for alternative energy source has necessitated the exploration of vast organic agricultural products with a view of processing them for the production of ethanol in commercial quantity. To ascertain a sustainable production of ethanol from processed sugar cane, a predictive model based on non-linearity nature of its production is imperative. This is due to unavailability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cost Effective and User Friendly Approach to Design Wireline Formation TestsClara Bertolini, Giuseppe Tripaldi, Elena Manassero et al.Problem statement: Wireline formation testing (also named Mini-DSTs) are gaining more and more popularity as a possible alternative to conventional well testing especially where there are major environmental and economical constraints. The increased offshore exploration activity, which often implies highly risky and huge operational costs, makes the conventional well testing less attractive in favor of other technologies that can provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeologic Mapping of United Arab Emirates using Multispectral Remotely Sensed DataMaged Marghany, Shattri Mansor, Mazlan HashimProblem statement: Geological studies are requiring standard methods and procedures to acquire precisely information. However, traditional methods might be difficult to use due to highly earth complex topography. Regarding the previous prospective, the advantage of satellite remote sensing in its application to geology is the wide coverage over the area of interest, where much accurate and useful information such as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighting Spatial Information in GIS for Copper Mining ExplorationFarhad Hosseinali, Ali Asghar AlesheikhExploration of new mines is vitally important for human life. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) can be effectively used in the gathering, weighting, analyzing and presenting spatial and attribute information to facilitate the mine exploration process. The success of mine exploration largely depends on: the identification of governing factors, the determination of their impacts and the selection of suitable models to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Environments and their Effect Upon Hospital UsersCarol A. Haigh, Gary Witham, Jessica Thompson, Hilary WoodWhilst there is significant academic and health care opinion is that green space both in and outside of institutions is both beneficial and desirable for hospital patients and workers, there is little in the literature to suggest that patients and staff recognise or identify 'good' and 'bad' natural environments. This study reports an exploration of the green environment around a … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 19 Jan 2015 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Tourist Arrivals in Destination Countries: An Application to Australian TourismS. A.H. Shobeiri Nejad, Gurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: Little study is evident of mathematical modeling regarding tourist arrivals in South East Queensland of Australia. In this study the Bulter conceptual destination life cycle and product life cycle frameworks are used to develop an overall determinant mathematical model of Australian tourist arrivals. The model will be calibrated using real Australian data. A more complex dynamic is also … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Physical Organization of R-Trees Using Node ClusteringF. Sagayaraj Francis, P. ThambiduraiR-Tree is a multidimensional indexing structure that forms basis for all the multidimensional indexing structures based on data partitioning. A number of attempts have been made in the past to improve the performance of R-Tree by manipulating the tree parameters and the data parameters. But hardly any attempt had been made to use external parameters such as disk parameters to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,627 accessesView PDFCite
