Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMulti-Objective Evolutionary Optimization of Sandwich Structures: An Evaluation by Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Evolution StrategyIlyani Akmar, A.B, O. Kramer, T. RabczukIn this study, an application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms on the optimization of sandwich structures is presented. The solution strategy is known as Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Evolution Strategy (ENSES) wherein Evolution Strategies (ES) as Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) in the elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) procedure. Evolutionary algorithm seems a compatible approach to resolve multi-objective optimization problems because it … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,323 accessesView PDFCite

Recently, the number of small scale buildings such as minimarts and convenience stores in Thailand has increased rapidly. However, the interest of effective energy utilization has not been focused on the implementation of the new … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 15 May 2014 · 7,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE ROLE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ON THE GROWTH OF ITALIAN SOCIAL COOPERATIVESFrancesco Agliata, Caterina Ferrone, Danilo TuccilloThe Third Sector in Italy records a slow but constant growth due to the increase of the number of entities but not of their dimension. The difficulties in financial management, generated by a low attraction of debt and equity financial resources and a low level of managerial skills characterized the non profit organizations. Focused on the social cooperatives, the article … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 5 May 2014 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSOFTWARE PROCESS MATURITY AND CAPABILITY EVALUATION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE AREAS OF E-LEARNING ORGANIZATIONSSenthilkumar Chennakrishnan, Midthe Vijayaraghavan SrinathA detailed literature review revealed that, most of the organizations develop their projects and associated software engineering activities using in-house established methods. There are discrete references in the literature on application of broad based scientific methods in designing and developing process capability and maturity models by software organizations. Documentation and extent of adherence to a well defined organized scientific method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2013 · 6,830 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Rutting Depth in Flexible Pavements by Using Finite Element Analysis and Local Empirical ModelAlaa H. Abed, Adel A. Al-AzzawiThe objective of this research is to predict rut depth in local flexible pavements. Predication model in pavement performance is the process that used to estimate the parameter values which related to pavement structure, environmental condition and traffic loading. The different local empirical models have been used to calculate permanent deformation which include environmental and traffic conditions. Finite element analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation on Score Reliability for Biometric Speaker Authentication SystemsDzati Athiar Ramli, Haryati Jaafar, Muhammad Hazim HasanProblem statement: Fusion weight tuning based on score reliability is imperative in order to ensure the performances of multibiometric systems are sustained. Approach: In this study, two variant of conditions i.e., different performances of individual subsystems and inconsistent quality of test samples are experimented to multibiometric systems. By applying multialgorithm scheme, two types of features extraction method i.e., Linear Predictive … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 16 Aug 2012 · 7,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComparative Evaluation of Adaptive Filter and Neuro-Fuzzy Filter in Artifacts Removal From Electroencephalogram SignalPaulchamy Balaiah, IlavennilaProblem statement: This study presents an effective method for removing mixed artifacts (EOG-Electro-ocular gram, ECG-Electrocardiogram, EMG-Electromyogram) from the EEG-Electroencephalogram records. The noise sources increases the difficulty in analyzing the EEG and obtaining clinical information. EEG signals are multidimensional, non-stationary (i.e., statistical properties are not invariant in time), time domain biological signals, which are not reproducible. It is supposed to contain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 15 Aug 2012 · 7,087 accessesView PDFCite
