Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA GA Based Transmission Network Expansion Planning Considering Voltage Level, Network Losses and Number of Bundle LinesS. Jalilzadeh, H. Shayeghi, M. Mahdavi, H. HadadianTransmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) was studied considering voltage level, network losses and number of bundle lines using decimal codification based genetic algorithm (DCGA). TNEP determines the characteristic and performance of the future electric power network and directly influences the operation of power system. Up till now, various methods have been presented for the solution of the Static Transmission Network … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplied Issues of Agritourism Cooperation and Sustainable Endogenous DevelopmentHelen Theodoropoulou, Roido Mitoula, Olga Astara, Panagiotis KaldisThis research aims at examining how an agritourism cooperative and its activities promote endogenous development using local human, natural and technological resources in a sustainable way with other local production activities. Technology allows the agritourism cooperative to effectively use local resources and simultaneously to increase its competitiveness in marketing of products. So, the cooperative becomes more competitive in regional and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite

A descriptive analysis of Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) in the 2005-2006 which is the key Hubei provincial science and technology project that studies … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Fast Methods for Fitting Some One-parameter Spatial ModelsR. J. MartinIt is common in geographic modelling to use a one-parameter spatial model to specify the inverse covariance matrix in terms of I-βW, for some known matrix W. Exact Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation of β requires evaluation of the determinant of the covariance matrix. For large data sets, this evaluation of the determinant can be slow and good approximations can be … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,071 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractICT based Sustainable Rural Business Opportunities in Developing Countries: A Wireless-Networked RCP-RAP ApproachMd. Abdur Rahman, Mohammad Upal Mahfuz, Kazi M. Ahmed, R. M.A.P. RajathevaInformation and Communication Technology (ICT) is gaining much research attention in present times especially for its ability towards poverty alleviation. In this study the prospect of rural business opportunities in developing countries more specifically in the target country, Bangladesh, has been investigated from the viewpoint of wirelessly networked Rural Communication Point (RCP) approach. It is proposed that if only one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Groundwater Vulnerability in Urban Development PlanningJ. Nouri, S. MalmasiGroundwater resources in most places of Iran are considered to be one of the important drinking water supplies for civilians. In city of Tehran, 25% of drinking water is being supplied from groundwater. This fact would enforce the requirement to protect and conserve groundwater resources in the city for its further development plan. Municipality of Tehran, District-22 has been designed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy and Carbon Flux Coupling: Multi-ecosystem Comparisons Using Artificial Neural NetworkAssefa M. Melesse, Rodney S. HanleyA multi-ecosystems carbon flux simulation from energy fluxes is presented. A new statistical learning technique based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) back propagation algorithm and multi-layer perceptron architecture was used in the CO2 simulation. Four input layers (net radiation, soil heat flux, sensible and latent heat flux) were used for training (calibration) and testing (verification) of model outputs. The 15-days … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetrospecting National Unity, Safety and Security in India: Foraging an United NationhoodSambeet Satapathy, Sandeep SatapathyUnlike many other developing nations India experiences a unique spatio-temporal cultural, economic, political diversity both natural and manmade. It is thus important to understand the source of national identity, the centripetal force that has held all the elements together. Historically exposure to various unifying forces in form of kingdoms and empires both native and foreign has contributed much to its … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 11 Nov 2015 · 7,829 accessesView PDFCite
