Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Applicability of Landslide Databases for Hazard Management Using Objective and Subjective Models: Australian Geoinformatic CaseM. OwneghProblem statement: In order to assess the applicability of Australian landslide databases as a hazard management support system, current hard and soft literature and data sources were screened. This assessment resulted in the selection of four main data bases including national landslide database (A), Peril Aus ІІ (B), the Cities project (C) and analytical study of Fell (D). Approach: In … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,356 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability 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 accessIn the abstractAn Adjustable Sample Size Estimation Model for Usability AssessmentHaidar S. Jabbar, T.V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudUsability assessment plays a fundamental role in discovering usability problems and the determination of the level of usability for a given software product. One crucial aspect in every usability assessment is the estimation of the sample size desired for a software product. Once we start estimating the sample size needed for a usability assessment, a baffling question comes in mind: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Plasticity- Induced Fatigue Crack Closure with Singular ElementR. Rahgozar, H. Saffari, R. TabatabaeiDeveloping a new method is presented to compute crack opening values in planar geometries using the crack surface nodal force distribution under minimum loading as determined from finite element analyses (FEM). In this technique, two-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic finite element analyses of middle-crack tension (MT) geometry is conducted to study fatigue crack closure and to calculate the crack opening values under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Quantitative Assessment Model For Usability EngineeringHaidar S. Jabbar, T. V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudMany different quantitative assessment models have been proposed to measure and report the usability of a general software product for various business and design purposes. However, there are several problems coupled with existing models that consequently bias and affect the process and results of the usability assessment. Moreover, they do not aid their usage by analysts who are not experienced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDFT Based Electrophilicity Index and QSAR study of Phenols as Anti Leukaemia AgentFarhan A. Pasha, Hemant K. Srivastava, Yakoob Beg, Pashupati P. singhDensity Functional reactivity indices based QSAR study of 49 phenol derivatives is presented in this paper. Two different models to describe the anti leukaemia activity of phenols have been made. First QSAR model includes molecular properties like molecular weight (Mw), hardness (η), chemical potential (μ), total energy, and electrophilicity index (ω). Various regression models have been made and regression quality … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Strategic Initiatives on the Adaptation of Enterprise ArchitectureWissal Daoudi, Kawtar Imgharene, Karim Doumi, Laila KjiriNowadays, companies are immersed in disruptive environments. To thrive in the ‘new normal’, they drive strategic initiatives resulting in changes with unpredictable frequencies and extents. These changes impact different elements of the company, which makes them a crucial matter for enterprise architecture. However, the traditional management operating models have become overstrained, which leads to existential threats. Therefore, the adaptation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 11 · 19 Sep 2023 · 5,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbabilistic Mechanics of Glass Suggests a Model for COVID-19 EpidemicsGabriele Pisano, Antonio Bonati, Gianni Royer CarfagniThe presented statistical model allows us to identify the degree of development of an epidemic starting from the observation of the number of deaths in the invested region, categorized by the age of the victims. Recognition of which cases are associated with the disease is not necessary, as this results from the comparison with data on deaths in pre-epidemic conditions. … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2023 · 8,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Analysis and Modeling the Nitrogen Flush after Rainfall Events at the Field Scale in SWATElizabeth Brooke Haney, Richard Lee Haney, Jeffrey George Arnold et al.Current nitrogen (N) models tend to neglect the contribution of the microbial population to the plant available N pool, resulting in an underestimation of yield and possible over or underestimation of N runoff from natural and agricultural landscapes. We used the measurement of microbial activity coupled with the measurement of their food source, water extractable nitrogen (N) and carbon (C), … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
