Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Gate to Gate Assessment of Environmental Performance for Production of Crude Palm Kernel Oil Using Life Cycle Assessment ApproachS. Vijaya, A. N. Ma, Y. M. ChooProblem statement: The oil palm industry is an export orientated industry which heavily relies on the world market. In 2007 alone the total export earnings reached RM 45.1 billion. It is essential that the oil palm industry is ready to meet the higher expectation of its overseas customers on the environmental performance of the industry. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA New Method for Accuracy Assessment of Sub-Pixel Classification ResultsH. Emami, B. MojaradiProblem statement: Classification accuracy assessment is the main stage of information extraction to evaluate the performance of a classifier. According to the output's classifiers (thematic map/fraction map), a properly strategy for accuracy assessment should be taken into consideration. Since pure pixels are used in traditional accuracy assessment of full pixel classifiers they are not suitable for assessment of sub-pixel classifiers. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransient Stability Assessment of a Power System Using Probabilistic Neural NetworkNoor Izzri Abdul Wahab, Azah MohamedThis study presents transient stability assessment of electrical power system using Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and principle component analysis. Transient stability of a power system is first determined based on the generator relative rotor angles obtained from time domain simulation outputs. Simulations were carried out on the IEEE 9-bus test system considering three phase faults on the system. The data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnvironmental Performance of the Milling Process Of Malaysian Palm Oil Using The Life Cycle Assessment ApproachVijaya Subramaniam, Ma An Ngan, Choo Yuen May, Nik Meriam Nik SulaimanMalaysia is currently the world leader in the production and export of palm oil. This study has a gate to gate system boundary. The inventory data collection starts at the oil palm fresh fruit bunch hoppers when the fresh fruit bunch is received at the mill up till the production of the crude palm oil in the storage tanks at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability Assessment of Power System Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network and a New Feature Extraction MethodAhmed M.A. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini HussainVulnerability assessment in power systems is important so as to determine how vulnerable a power system in case of any unforeseen catastrophic events. This paper presents the application of Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) for vulnerability assessment of power system incorporating a new proposed feature extraction method named as the Neural Network Weight Extraction (NNWE) for dimensionality reduction of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdoption of Peer-To-Peer Assessment in a Computing Skills CourseMansoor Al-A'aliThe process of peer-to-peer assessment brings great benefits to the teaching and learning process. This paper presents a peer assessment model which was applied to students enrolled in a generic computing skills course. In order to measure the effectiveness of this proposed model, students had to evaluate their colleagues based on predefined criteria and a comparison is presented between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Slope Assessment Systems for Predicting Landslides of Cut Slopes in Granitic and Meta-sediment FormationsSuhaimi Jamaludin, Bujang B.K. Huat, Husaini OmarIn Malaysia, slope assessment systems (SAS) are widely used in assessing the instability of slope or the probability of occurrence and the likely severity of landslides. These SAS can be derived based on either one particular approach or combination of several approaches of landslide assessments and prediction. This study overviews four slope assessment systems (SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRisk Assessment Study for Storage ExplosiveS. Saiful Azhar, M. Abdul Rahman, M. Saari et al.In Malaysia, there has been rapidly increasing usage in amount of explosives due to widely expansion in quarrying and mining industries. The explosives are usually stored in the storage where the safety precaution had given high attention. As the storage of large quantity of explosive can be hazardous to workers and nearby residents in the events of accidental denotation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Slope Assessment System in Predicting Landslides along Roads Underlain by Granitic FormationBujang B.K. Huat, S. JamaludinA slope assessment is to estimate the probability of occurrence and likely severity of landslides in a given area. This study evaluates two existing Slope Assessment Systems (SAS) for predicting landslide at the micro level of assessment developed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia, namely the Slope Information Management System (SIMS) and the Slope Management and Risk Tracking System … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeismic Assessment of Non-Seismically Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames with Core WallsTaek-Hyun Lee, Ki-Bong Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study examines the seismic performance of four non-seismically designed reinforced concrete structures with core walls and proposes proper rehabilitation methods. The structures were selected based on the height of the structures, occupancy levels and floor plans. The seismic assessment results were compared based on the performance of the structures before rehabilitation and after rehabilitation. The results indicate that most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 13 Dec 2014 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
