Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRISK ANALYSIS IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: A PRACTICAL SELECTION METHODOLOGYAlberto De Marco, Muhammad Jamaluddin ThaheemProject Risk Management (PRM) is gaining attention from researchers and practitioners in the form of sophisticated tools and techniques to help construction managers perform risk management. However, the large variety of techniques has made selecting an appropriate solution a complex and risky task in itself. Accordingly, this study proposes a practical framework methodology to assist construction project managers and practitioners … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2013 · 9,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPetri Nets and Ladder Logic for Fully-Automating and Programmable Logic Control of Semi-Automatic Machines and SystemsMahmoud A. Barghash, Osama M. Abuzeid, Anas N. Al-Rabadi, Ahmad M. JaradatProblem statement: Automating semi-automatic dynamic machines and complex systems, where some functionalities are already automated but the machine doesn’t run fully in automatic mode, represents another challenge to automating dynamic and manual complex systems. This study deals with a special case of this general problem, where the system’s semi-automatic and automatic functionalities run separately in a sequence with either automatic … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Fuzzy Based Decision Support System for Evaluating Land Suitability and Selecting CropsSri Hartati, Imas S. SitanggangProblem statement: Evaluating land suitability and selecting crops in modern agriculture is of critical importance to every organization. This is because the narrower area of land, the more effectiveness in planting is required in accordance with the desires of the land. Process of evaluating land suitability class and selecting plants in accordance with decision marker's requirements is complex and unstructured. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Ethical Appraisal of Hormesis: Towards a Rational Discourse on the Acceptability of Risks and BenefitsOrtwin RennIt is ethically mandated that potential beneficial aspects of low exposure to potentially hazardous material are incorporated in the risk-benefit balancing procedure. The potential harm done by pollutants does not justify the invocation of a categorical principle. Minimisation of risk is not required if health benefits are also at stake. Society needs to find an informed consent on the threshold … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Integrated Approach to Modelling of Flood Hazards in the Rapidly Growing City of Osogbo, Osun State, NigeriaSuleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Oluchi Christiana Onuoha, Komolafe Akinola Adesuji et al.In recent times, the swift and uncoordinated urban expansion in the medium sized city of Osogbo has increasingly encroached on the environmental sensitive areas. This uncoordinated exploitation of the ecological fragile areas for urban development has triggered urban flooding, which poses serious threat to human lives and properties in the city. This study therefore utilized geospatial technologies to generate flood … …Space Science International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 13,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDistinguishing Congestion and Technical Inefficiency in Presence Undesirable OutputFaranak Hosseinzadeh Saljooghi, Mohammad Mahallati RayeniProblem statement: This study focuses on problems of congestion and how they might be treated in universities, also investigates a methodology to measure undesirable outputs congestion in addition to inputs congestion, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Congestion indicates an economic state where inputs are overly invested. Evidence of congestion occurs whenever reducing some inputs can increase outputs. Approach: The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 2 Aug 2011 · 7,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Aggregation Approach for Group Multicriteria AssignmentGeorge Rigopoulos, John Psarras, Dimitrios Th. AskounisWe presented an aggregation approach for group multicriteria assignment decisions, where group members express their preferences on problem parameters in numeric format. Individual preferences are aggregated by WOWA operator following the majority concept and a group parameter set is derived that is used as input for the classification algorithm. In addition, we present a numeric example of the approach, demonstrating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFuzzy Assignment Procedure based on Categories' BoundariesGeorge Rigopoulos, John Psarras, Dimitrios Th. AskounisWe presented a procedure for multicriteria assignment problems. Assignment to a category is based on the comparison between an action and categories’s boundaries. Boundary is represented by the least typical action that can be included in the category, and is considered as the category’s inclusion threshold. Comparison is executed considering performance on evaluation criteria and calculation of a fuzzy inclusion … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPandemic Analysis and Preparedness Using a Three Layer Machine Learning ApproachArtika Singh, Manisha JailiaOutbreak analysis provides research-based information and data to enable scientific decision-making to manage an effective response to a pandemic. Pandemic analysis has its own set of challenges, such as limited data, the need for real time analysis, and the complexity of outbreak patterns. This study proposes a hybrid approach to manage such a spread through a 3-layer machine learning-based outbreak … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 11 · 15 Oct 2026 · 614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Crop Yield Detection and Prediction With Multimodal Data Using Fusion TechniquesKutlwano Sedimo, Rajalakshmi Selveraj, Venumadhav Kuthadi, Thulaganyo DimakatsoMost often, soil, environmental, and agronomic data are used in pieces, hence limiting the performance of crop selection and yield forecasting. This study develops an integrated, fusion-based framework that combines soil image classification, environmental feature analysis, and input-driven yield prediction to support precise agricultural decision-making. The system consists of three major modules: (i) a CNN for the classification of soil … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 5 Oct 2026 · 481 accessesView PDFCite
