Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Skid Resistance for Different Roadway Surface TreatmentsOsama A. Abaza, Tanay Datta Chowdhury, Mahmoud ArafatPavement skid resistance impacts road functionality and can affect user safety and vehicle operation costs. This study was an investigation of the effect of sealcoats on skid resistance. Seven different sealcoats-fog seal, chip seal, slurry seal, sand seal, high-friction seal, cape seal, and glass seal-were lab and field tested. Laboratory samples were further tested in the field on pavement sections. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2017 · 8,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpherical and Improved Helmholtz Coil with High B1 Homogeneity for Magnetic Resonance ImagingSidi M. Ahmed Ghaly, Khalid A. Al-Snaie, Obaidullah Khan MohammadSeveral types of volume RF coils such as Helmholtz pair have been used for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. However, the field uniformity of a coil has always been suffering from a critical issue in imaging accuracy. The presented work is a study and design of spherical and improved radiofrequency Helmholtz coil which produces a high B1 magnetic field homogeneity. This coil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPaving the Way for Warehouse Centralization in Healthcare: A Preliminary Assessment ApproachAnna Corinna Cagliano, Sabrina Grimaldi, Carlo RafeleCentralized logistics management is currently one interesting option for healthcare systems facing an increasing need to improve responsiveness and service quality while reducing costs. This work focuses on one aspect of centralized logistics, namely warehouse centralization and proposes a preliminary approach to assess material management in healthcare institutions as a first step towards decisions about the implementation of such a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 5 May 2016 · 7,919 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndustrial Robot Fault Detection Based on Statistical Control ChartAlaa Abdulhady Jaber, Robert BickerIndustrial robots have long been used in production systems in order to improve productivity, quality and safety in automated manufacturing processes. There are significant implications for operator safety in the event of a robot malfunction or failure and an unforeseen robot stoppage due to different reasons has the potential to cause an interruption in the entire production line, resulting in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2016 · 8,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Data Based Method for Predicting Long-Term SettlementsJianping Jiang, Qingsheng Chen, Sanjay NimbalkarThe estimation of the long-term foundation settlement in soft soil is very complex, which is attributed to a number of uncertainties associated with various factors, such as: (i) The compressibility parameters obtained in the laboratory from samples of relatively small size that are more homogeneous compared to heterogeneous field sediments in which various soil types may be interlayered at random … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Feb 2016 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Firm Size and Financial Performance Affect Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure: Employees' and Environmental Dimensions?Mohammad Ebrahim NawaisehThe paper empirically tests the impact of company size and financial performance on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure (CSRD), from the Employees' and Environmental Dimensions perspective with reference to the disclosure frequency and quality of these dimensions among Jordanian industrial public share holding companies; whether there is an impact of firm size measured by total assets, ROA, ROE and Leverage on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 29 Nov 2015 · 8,329 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Biogas Digestate on Crop Production and the Environment: A Bulgarian Case StudyNicholas Kathijotes, Vera Petrova, Elena Zlatareva et al.The water-energy nexus reveals that large amounts of energy is stored in used water and can be used as an energy source. Anaerobic fermentation is an excellent ecological waste treatment and a way of producing low cost electrical and thermal energy. By using digestate resulting from biogas production instead of synthetic fertilizers derived from natural gas, we can save energy, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 May 2015 · 7,558 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractData Mining in Time Series: Current Study and Future TrendTan Yan, Liudmila Ulanova, Ye Ouyang, Fengyuan XuTime series represent sequences of data points where usually their order is defined by the time when they were recorded. Thus, virtually any sequential recordings can be stored as time series: Stock prices, weather conditions, physical system parameters change, product quality monitoring, etc. This leads to ubiquity of time series in all scientific and practical fields (Esling and Agon, 2012); … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Jan 2015 · 8,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHELICOBACTER INFECTION AND ALLERGY IN MAJORITY AND ROMA POPULATION IN THE CZECH REPUBLICRichter Josef, Vetvicka Vaclav, Kral Vlastimil et al.In our paper we decided to evaluate the hypothesis about the relation between living conditions, infection with Helicobacter pylori and development of allergic problems. Two groups of children, one from the Roma population and one from the majority population, were chosen for this study. Comparing the levels of total IgE and specific IgE antibodies, IgA and IgG Helicobacter pylori antibodies … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 24 Dec 2014 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
