Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT METHODS THROUGH ENERGY BALANCEAntonio Comparetti, Pierluigi Febo, Carlo Greco et al.In Italy, the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) is nowadays landfilled or processed through aerobic composting. The Italian towns currently support a high cost for OFMSW disposal and cause a high environmental impact, because of long distances travelled from towns to a few available landfills and fewer treatment places, as well as the used waste management methods. An … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2014 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite

The main objective of this study is to determine the depth of bedrock in the study area. The resistivity imaging measurement employing Wenner electrode configuration was carried out using an ABEM SAS 1000 terrameter and electrode selector system ES464. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 13 Jun 2012 · 8,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Multi Document Summarization ApproachesYogan Jaya Kumar, Naomie SalimProblem statement: Text summarization can be of different nature ranging from indicative summary that identifies the topics of the document to informative summary which is meant to represent the concise description of the original document, providing an idea of what the whole content of document is all about. Approach: Single document summary seems to capture both the information well but … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 1 Nov 2011 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation and Methods of Project Learning in Quantity Surveying Firms: Barriers, Enablers and Success FactorsHamzah Abdul-Rahman, Ali Mohammed Alashwal, Zatil Hidayah JamaludinProblem statement: Learning from project is vital for organizations to achieve competition and to survive in a dynamic environment. However, learning is not an easy task because there is no specific way for learning from projects. Besides, the practice of project learning and transfer knowledge to the firm’s level is still vague, specifically in the construction milieu. Approach: A questionnaire … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2011 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Electrical and Electromagnetic Investigation for Contaminated SiteAlberto Godio, Mario NaldiProblem statement: The environmental assessment of industrial areas is required to minimize the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. The survey of wide areas (e.g., some hectares) provides a high economical and complex logistical impact when random strategies of soil sampling are adopted. Recently, geophysical methods had been successfully adopted to drive the process of the spatial sampling of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
