Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Ranking Capability of the Hyperlink Based Search Engines Using Heuristic ApproachHaider A. Ramadhan, Khalil Shihab, Jafar H. AliTo evaluate the informative content of a Web page, the Web structure has to be carefully analyzed. Hyperlink analysis, which is capable of measuring the potential information contained in a Web page with respect to the Web space, is gaining more attention. The links to and from Web pages are an important resource that has largely gone unused in existing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoftware Process Modeling Using Role and CoordinationAtil Fadila, Ghoul Said, Bounour NoraThe term software process joins all activities that have to be achieved in order to develop software. It has been shown that modeling such processes is difficult and expensive task. It's confirmed by diversity of software processes modeling approaches which are however, not satisfactory. This study deals with an area of growing importance and presents a role- and coordination- based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Economic Feasibility of Rebuilding Al-Isra University Tunnel — Mechanical FactorsBassam Al-HelouEconomic feasibility is the cornerstone in the decision making on an economic venture. The more positive the economic signs, the less the risk and foreseen losses. This study throws light on some economic advantages of rebuilding Al-Isra tunnel, especially in terms of shortening the car/bus trip by six kilometers go and fro, and in terms of reducing the trip schedule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Analysis and Mathematical Representation of the Path Length Complexity in Binary Decision DiagramsA. Assi, P. W.C. Prasad, B. Mills, A. ElchouemiInformation about the distribution of path-lengths in a Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) representing Boolean functions is useful in determining the speed of hardware and software implementations of the circuit represented by these Boolean functions. This study presents expressions produced from an empirical analysis of a representative collection of Boolean functions. The Average Path Length (APL) and the Shortest Path Length … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAVUNET Author: An Authoring System for Distance Learning PlatformLamri Douidi, Mahieddine Djoudi, Chabane KhentoutAn authoring system was presented in this study, “AVUNET Author” which allows the creation of interactive learning object within a distance teaching platform on the Internet. For the conception of this system, we stated with the assumption that the content of distance teaching is not just to put online the content used for classroom teaching. In addition to the classical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,761 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 · 6,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Application of Finite Element Modelling to Pneumatic Artificial MuscleR. Ramasamy, M. R. Juhari, M. R. Mamat et al.The purpose of this article was to introduce and to give an overview of the Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs) as a whole and to discuss its numerical modelling, using the Finite Element (FE) Method. Thus, more information to understand on its behaviour in generating force for actuation was obtained. The construction of PAMs was mainly consists of flexible, inflatable membranes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
