Drawing upon data collected from a case study regarding a local transport public utility, we intend to analyze the virtuous path that leads from values to value, focusing attention on the centrality of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 2 Jan 2018 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrend Analysis of Some Indices of Extreme Rainfall EventsOlumuyiwa Idowu Ojo, Femi Dakaye, Masengo Francois IlungaClimate change events results in increased temperature, changing rainfall patterns, floods and droughts. These will not only affect human but also affect how environment responds to the events. In this study, analyses of the trend change of 10 indices of Extreme Rainfall Events were carried in three stations of middle belt of Nigeria namely Jos, Lokoja and Makurdi using the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2018 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Rainfall Factor of Climate Change Effects on the Agricultural Environment: A ReviewOlumuyiwa Idowu Ojo, Masengo Francois IlungaThe study of the climatic elements is vital for sustainable development of agriculture of a region. Particularly, rainfall temporal analyses for trends, fluctuations and periodicities are necessary as such can indirectly furnish the status of an environment. A trend may be quite instructive for different segments of the human and natural systems. Extreme weather events that can lead to events … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 26 Oct 2017 · 8,338 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Human Factor in Design Ergonomics: Example of a High Speed Train Cabin DesignHajar El M’hadi, A. CherkaouiThe development of new technologies and technical progress has accelerated man/machine substitution. Work is disappearing in its human form. This technical progress has not avoided certain catastrophes occurring. These major disasters, both for man and for the environment, took place where reliability was at its highest level. The responsibility of the operator, of the human, the weak point in these … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2017 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Environmental and Socio-Economic Risk Factors of Climate Vulnerability in Low-Income Settlements of Kitwe City in ZambiaGeorge Kasali, Julius Kanyembo, Mapenzi Phiri, Mainza SibajeneRecent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have clearly shown that climate change represents an urgent and irreversible threat to human societies and the planet and especially to the social and economic development of Africa.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine and identify the risk factors associated with climate vulnerability in selected slum settlements of Kitwe … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2017 · 8,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Stochastic Properties into Traffic Flow Modeling: A Stimulus-Response ApproachKonate N’Golo, Mark Kimathi, Emile DanhoHighway traffic congestion, characterized by its inherent instability, has been extensively studied using deterministic models, providing valuable insights. However, these models often overlook the stochastic nature of driver behavior, a key factor that significantly impacts traffic flow. Recognizing this, a car-following model with discretionary lane changes to analyze their effect on traffic dynamics was introduced. While the mathematical results were … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 19 Dec 2024 · 7,156 accessesView PDFCite
