Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Common Maintenance Methods for Flexible PavementsAsma T. Ibraheem, Suda M. GaniProblem statement: With the increasing use and awareness of pavement management systems and the growing emphasis on asset management of pavement infrastructure, it is important to strengthen the maintenance components of these systems and particularly the preventive maintenance component. Iraqi Roads don’t receive an effective and proper maintenance during their service life until they reach the state of major failure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Outcome of Conservative Treatment of Closed Fracture Shaft Humerus in Adult PatientsM. Taha MuzahimProblem statement: Fractures of the humeral shaft are commonly encountered by the orthopaedic surgeons; accounting for approximately 3% of all fractures. There is a wide array of good options for their treatment and controversy over the best methods for many situations. Appropriate nonoperative and operative treatment of patients with humeral shaft fractures, however, requires an understanding of humeral anatomy, the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 9 May 2011 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteractive Computing Framework for Engineering ApplicationsJovana Knezevic, Jerome Frisch, Ralf-Peter Mundani, Ernst RankProblem statement: Even though the computational steering state-of-the-art environments allow users to embed their simulation codes as a module for an interactive steering without the necessity for their own expertise in high-performance computing and visualisation, e.g., these environments are limited in their possible applications and mostly entail heavy code changes in order to integrate the existing code. Approach: In this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,207 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Resiliency of the Manhattan Points of Entry in the Face of Severe DisruptionMayada Omer, Ali Mostashari, Roshanak NilchianiProblem statement: Resilient infrastructure systems are able to continue to provide the expected service levels following disruptive events. Implementing resiliency in infrastructure systems requires knowledge of the current resiliency of the system and a methodology by which different resiliency strategies can be evaluated. In the transportation infrastructure in particular, disruptions cause delays, which will in turn incur substantial economic losses … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2011 · 9,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Edible Coatings, Storage Time and Maturity Stage on Overall Quality of Tomato FruitsJorge Esteban de Jesús Dávila-Aviña, José Villa-Rodríguez, Reynaldo Cruz-Valenzuela et al.Problem statement: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most widely consumed fresh vegetables in the world; however, its highly perishable nature limits its postharvest life. Major losses in tomato quality and quantity occur between harvest and consumption. Therefore, the application of new technologies to extend the postharvest life of this commodity is needed. The use of edible coatings … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2011 · 11,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 30 Year Old Man with Fever and Indolent Soft Tissue MassesWissam Zaeeter, Ashwin Jathavedam, Rosalyn StahlAbstract: Problem statement: Multifocal Skeletal Tuberculosis (MSTB) is a rare presentation of skeletal tuberculosis. The indolent nature of this condition often leads to delayed or missed diagnosis, sometimes with devastating consequences for the patient. In order to provide meaningful clinical information and to highlight pitfalls in diagnosis of MFST, we present a case of MSTB. A review of this condition … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,713 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Pre-Processing and Classification Techniques for Single-Trial and Multi-Trial P300-Based Brain Computer InterfacesChanan S. Syan, Randy E.S. HarnarinesinghThe P300 component of Event Related Brain Potentials (ERP) is commonly used in Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) to translate the intentions of an individual into commands for external devices. The P300 response, however, resides in a signal environment of high background noise. Consequently, the main problem in developing a P300-based BCI lies in identifying the P300 response in the presence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerception Mapping of Travelers: Case of Six Indian Domestic AirlinesShobhit Agarwal, A. K. DeyProblem statement: A comparison of customer satisfaction based on service quality as perceived by air travelers was done among six domestic airlines. Literature review suggested that flying experience has three stages: Pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight and a set of six variables can be used to measure satisfaction. These variables are: Ease of bookings through the website/call center; Hassle free check … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPiecewise Sliding Mode Decoupling Fault Tolerant Control SystemRafi Youssef, Hui PengProblem statement: Proposed method in the present study could deal with fault tolerant control system by using the so called decentralized control theory with decoupling fashion sliding mode control, dealing with subsystems instead of whole system and to the knowledge of the author there is no known computational algorithm for decentralized case, Approach: In this study we present a decoupling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Growing Season Length of Deciduous Broad Leaf Forest Derived From Satellite Data in IranSasan Babaei Kafaki, Asadollah Mataji, Seyed Armin HashemiProblem statement: Leaf phenology describes the seasonal cycle of leaf functioning and is essential for understanding the interactions between the biosphere, the climate and biogeochemical cycles. This study aimed to quantify changes in plant phenology of deciduous broadleaf forests between the years 1982-1999 and investigate the relationships between the onset dates of phenology and climatic factors. Approach: We studied the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
