Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Information Modeling for Indoor Environmental Performance AnalysisYaik-Wah LimThere are increasing numbers of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software available nowadays which change the working methods in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. From the stages of building design development to post-occupancy management, BIM plays an essential role in collaboration among multi-discipline professions, time and cost saving, fabrication and construction as well as facilities management. With the arising concern … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoybean Response to 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Deaminase-Producing Pseudomonas under Field Soil ConditionsEdi Husen, Aris Tri Wahyudi, Antonius Suwanto, GiyantoProblem Statement: 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate (ACC) deaminase-producing bacteria have been known to promote plant growth by decreasing ethylene inhibition of various plant processes. However, their efficacy under field soil conditions may vary depending on the range and variability of the environmental factors. This study examined the ability of eight promising isolates of ACC deaminase-producing Pseudomonas to enhance soybean growth under acidic and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Sense of Progression and Cognitive Distance on Path Choice and Walking Behavior While Aiming To Reach DestinationMohammad Paydar, Samira RamezaniProblem statement: Studies focused on walking behavior have indicated the relationship of different factors of built environment with walking to reach destination and walking for recreation. Furthermore, according to literature on path choice behavior, there is a relationship between walking behavior and path choice of pedestrians. Empirical studies on path choice behavior have also shown that the effects of different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Factors Influencing Design Team Attributes in Green BuildingsMohamed S. Elforgani, Ismail RahmatProblem statement: Buildings contribute significantly global environmental problems. Better design can minimize these impacts. Design Green Building (DGB) aims to reduce buildings' impact on the environment. However, the green design performance depends on design team attributes. In addition, the Governance System (GS) and Client Quality (CQ) as external factors have influence on Design Team Attributes (DTA) of green building. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite

Recently, the local authorities in Malaysia have been soundly criticized for poor management and they are subjected to daily barrage of questions and complaints directly in the press and tougher higher ups at the state and federal levels. Approach: Due … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEco-Efficient Product Design Using Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) PrinciplesIssac Lim Sing Sheng, Teoh Kok-SooProblem statement: In recent years, much attention has been focused on the eco-efficiency of product development. The majority of environmental decisions are only made in the later stages of product development where not much modification can be done. To produce eco-efficient products, environmental decisions ought to be considered in the early stages of product development. With the demand of developing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility and Molecular Epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated in a Burn UnitHassan Salimi, Parviz Owlia, Bagher Yakhchali, Abdolaziz Rastegar LariProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that still develops life-threatening infections in patients with immunological system defects, like burn patients, especially in developing countries. Since this bacterium is naturally resistant to many drugs and is able to get resistance to all effective antibiotics, the infection with this organism is particularly problematic condition for patients. This study was design … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cost Effective and User Friendly Approach to Design Wireline Formation TestsClara Bertolini, Giuseppe Tripaldi, Elena Manassero et al.Problem statement: Wireline formation testing (also named Mini-DSTs) are gaining more and more popularity as a possible alternative to conventional well testing especially where there are major environmental and economical constraints. The increased offshore exploration activity, which often implies highly risky and huge operational costs, makes the conventional well testing less attractive in favor of other technologies that can provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMountain Sheep: An Environmental Epidemiological Survey of Variation in Metal Exposure and Physiological Biomarkers Following Mine DevelopmentLawrence K. Duffy, Michael W. Oehler, R. Terry Bowyer, Vernon C. BleichProblem Statement: Anthropogenic activities, such as mining and industrial operations, are a major environmental source of metal exposure for wildlife. Quantitative data regarding biochemical effects of exposure to mineral extraction on mountain sheep, Ovis canadensis, are limited, although their habitats are becoming increasingly affected by expanded resource development. Decisions relating to environmental protection and wildlife conservation should be based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,654 accessesView PDFCite
