Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Study of Online Fuzzy Risk Score Analyzer for Diabetes MellitusSunithaKarnam Anantha, Senthil Kumar Natarajan, Subransu Sekar DashThe aim of this study is to determine the risks of various subjects to type 2 Diabetes and its dependence on the different subject records. A Fuzzy based system was designed to find the risk scores for diabetes based on risk score derived from Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES). The risk score that has been adapted into the system … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Refineries Emissions Impact on Urban Localities Using AERMODAmira Mohamed Wahba Abdelrasoul, Amir AL-Hadad, Abdul Rehman KhanProblem statement: The absolute necessity of compulsory fuel utilities, no matter small or big has resulted into substantial high hazards pollutants. Petroleum refineries are major industrial installations that are necessary for providing the best suited fuel for various necessary utilities, but are responsible of the emission of several hazardous pollutants into the atmosphere. Hydrocarbons are among the most perilous air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Thermal Comfort in Respect to Building Height in a High-Density City in the TropicsAnisha Noori Kakon, Mishima Nobuo, Shoichi Kojima, Taguchi YokoProblem statement: The significance of urban design and planning in the tropics lies mostly on its climatic and regional concerns. Among many design parameters, building height is an important parameter which affects thermal climate in the city considerably. This study investigated the effect of building height on outdoor thermal comfort during the daytime in summer in Dhaka, Bangladesh which is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Geometry and Orientation on Flank Insolation of Streets in an Arid Climate CityMehrdad Mazloomi, Ahmad Sanusi Hassan, Parmis Naraghi Bagherpour, Mohd Rodzi IsmailProblem statement: Whilst at the design stage the various aspects of design impact must be taken into account, the incident solar radiation, insolation, is a key to many environmental aspects of street canyons. In this regard, the configuration of an urban street has a decisive role in magnitude of the solar radiation which it receives on its flank. This study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Sustainable Relief Housing in Ethiopia: An Implementation of Cradle to Cradle Design in Earthbag ConstructionBrooke Barnes, Huantian Cao, Theodore Drab, Jason PearsonProblem statement: Urbanization in Ethiopia resulted in urban poverty and homelessness. In this study, a sustainable relief housing prototype that aided in sheltering homeless citizens was designed. To avoid repeating errors in urban development such as unsustainable resource consumption, it was necessary to look beyond traditional construction materials and methods. Approach: This design applied cradle to cradle design model to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
