Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting of Energy Consumption and Pollutant Emission for Road Transportation Policies EvaluationPunravee Kongboontiam, Rungsun UdomsriProblem statement: The energy demand in Thailand has significantly increased over last ten years, particularly in transportation sector. Road transportation contributes the highest energy consumption, 38% of the total energy in the whole country, but it consumes 60% of the total energy usage in the northern region of Thailand. Various chemical pollutants emitted from the road transportation affecting to human … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 7,720 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Eco friendly Refrigerants Usage in Air-ConditionerC. Chinnaraj, R. Vijayan, P. GovindarajanProblem statement: There are two types of global warming contributions through refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The first one is the Direct Global Warming Potential (DGWP) due to the emission of refrigerants and their interaction with heat radiation. The second one is the Indirect Global Warming Potential (IDGWP) due to the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) by consuming the energy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 27 Dec 2011 · 8,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixed-Polarity Azeotropic Solvents for Efficient Extraction of Lipids from Nannochloropsis MicroalgaeRobert D. Long, Elseddik AbdelkaderProblem statement: The extraction of lipids from microalgae for biofuel production is a significant problem due to the intractability of their cell wall. The aim of this study of lipid extraction from Nannochloropsis microalgae was to examine the relative efficiencies of some commonly used solvent systems and test the use of co-boiling solvents in Soxhlet extraction as an improved method. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 Aug 2011 · 9,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques for Solar RadiationW. A. Rahoma, U. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The prediction is very useful in solar energy applications because it permits to estimate solar data for locations where measurements are not available. The developed artificial intelligence models predict the solar radiation time series more effectively compared to the conventional procedures based on the clearness index. Approach: The forecasting ability of some models could be further enhanced with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 11 Aug 2011 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFungal Culture Systems for Production of Antioxidant Phenolics Using Pecan Nut Shells as Sole Carbon SourceMiguel A. Medina, Ruth E. Belmares, Antonio Aguilera-Carbo et al.Problem statement: Many agro-industrial wastes have little or none utilization, when these materials could be a very rich source of several value-added compounds, such as: the pecan nut shells, which contain Antioxidant Phenolic (AP) molecules like tannins. Approach: In this study, a bioprocess for the liberation of AP from Pecan Nut Shells (PNS) was described. A chemical characterization of raw … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding Information System Failures from the Complexity PerspectiveIndranil MukherjeeProblem Statement: Failure of computer based information systems had been a source of major concern in the modern technological era. Information System (IS) researchers have spent a significant amount of their time and effort in understanding the recurring failure of Information Systems. Studies in this regard have ranged from being primarily technical in their approach to those having a much … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,621 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: Existing researches in this field concentrated on various features of Single System Images like file system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop. The workshop is composed two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Visual Odometry Performance Based on Road ClassificationsDayang Nur Salmi Dharmiza, Awang Salleh, Kuryati KipliAccuracyand robustness are among the main concerns in vehicle positioning systems andautonomous applications. These concerns are crucial in GNSS-deniedenvironments; thus, we need an alternative technology to overcome this problem.In recent years, vision-based localization known as visual odometry has gainedconsiderable attention among researchers. Visual odometry is a vision-basedpose estimation and it has been developed for mobile object localization suchas robots and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 11 · 26 Oct 2022 · 5,899 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCooperation in Rural Areas as a Local System Development OpportunityEmanuele Schimmenti, Giovanni Battista Collura, Giuseppina Migliore et al.The development of rural areas requires the adoption of technology innovation and market approach strategies without departing from the specific features of local production systems, such as agricultural practices and the wealth of knowledge of operators. It is even better the exploitation of these resources to characterize the competitive positioning of territorial systems. In this framework, the cooperative Rinascita, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 3 Jan 2018 · 8,270 accessesView PDFCite
