Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Route Shortening and Route Repairing Mechanism for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksS. Revathi, T. R. RangaswamyProblem statement: Ad hoc Networks are wireless networks without any fixed infrastructure. The network topology changes frequently and unpredictably due to the random movement of the nodes. The Ad Hoc on Demand Distant Vector Routing (AODV) protocol works in a dynamic fashion, by establishing a route on demand and continues that route until it breaks. Due to the changing network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 11 Jul 2012 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneralization of Boolean Functions Properties to Functions Defined over GF(p)Saad Elmansori, B. E. EsamProblem statement: Traditionally, cryptographic applications designed on hardware have always tried to take advantage of the simplicity of implementation functions over GF(p), p = 2, to reduce costs and improve performance. On the contrast, functions defined over GF(p); p > 2, possess far better cryptographic properties than GF(2) functions. Approach: We generalize some of the previous results on cryptographic Boolean … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 7,436 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Polypropylene Fibers on the California Bearing Ratio of Air Cured Stabilized Tropical Peat SoilBehzad Kalantari, Bujang B.K. Huat, Arun PrasadProblem statement: Peat soil is well known to deform and fail under a light surcharge load and is characterized with low shear strength, high compressibility and high water content. With the rising demand from the construction industry, utilization of these soils is required and suitable technique needs to be found out for stabilizing them. Approach: Model study had been carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Geomechanical Properties of Tropical Organic Soils and PeatBujang B.K. Huat, Afshin Asadi, Sina KazemianProblem statement: Organic soils and peat were believed to be geotechnically problematic due to their very high compressibility, very low shear strength and difficult accessibility. Although conventional soil mechanics theory could be applied to the soils, it was found that important anomalies existed which required special considerations. Correlations between geomechanical parameters for the soils were known to be important for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Housing RenewalM. Sitar, K. KrajncFollowing the already proved models the sustainable planning culture is endangering several methods directed towards the needs of tenants in the existing post-war housing stock. The case-study of our project is the renewal of the multi stored building in the housing estate Metalna, Maribor/Tezno (1949). It is based on the sustainable renovation principle for the quality of sustainable housing in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,249 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoosted Regression Estimates of Spatial Data: Pointwise InferenceMarco Di Marzio, Charles C. TaylorIn this study simple nonparametric techniques have been adopted to estimate the trend surface of the Swiss rainfall data. In particular we employed the Nadaraya-Watson smoother and in addition, an adapted-by boosting-version of it. Additionally, we have explored the use of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator for the construction of pointwise confidence intervals. Overall, boosting does seem to improve the estimate as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImprove the Consumption of Cement and Sand in Massive ConcreteKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.The massive concretemixing plan is very important due to its large volume of use in concrete dams.Productivity can be increased in dam manufacturing industry by adopting asuitable method for mixing mass concrete that can meet design, executive andeconomic needs. Because of intensification rate construction of dams newperiods and high cost of implementing such projects any step that reduces theircost of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 1 Nov 2021 · 6,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUSE OF CRUMB RUBBER TO IMPROVE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIALSAshraf Fadiel, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMotivated by the tremendous trend toward green environment and to reduce the effect of scrap tires on the environment and human health, this research is an attempt to find a practical and environmentally sound solution of the problem of scrap tires by developing a light weight with low thermal conductivity composite construction materials using waste tires. A few literatures may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 12,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordConstruction Risk Taxonomy: An International Convergence of Academic and Industry PerspectivesKristen Barlish, Alberto De Marco, Muhammad Jamaluddin ThaheemRisk management is a topic heavily researched and important for industry professionals. Both academic and industry perspectives are critical to advancing this field, especially in risk identification and taxonomy. A unique comparison and convergence of these perspectives is developed in order to understand the most relevant risks for projects and to ensure they are addressed in the risk management process. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2013 · 7,331 accessesView PDFCite
