Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Environmental Decision Support System Based on a Multidimensional PrototypeGeorgakellos Dimitrios, Macris AristomenisThe present study utilizes the principles and data provided by the Environmental Priority Strategies (EPS) methodology in order to create a multidimensional prototype, which intends to assist the damage assessment process in this kind of projects. The EPS system, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, is developed to help designers and product developers in finding which one of two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccessing Applications from Multiple File Servers in a Computer NetworkJ. S.J. Daka, J. S. IsaacThis study proposes a technique of accessing applications from multiple file servers in a computer network that caters for a large user community. The technique is a step towards creating a computer network system that is simple to implement, scalable, easy to manage, transparent to the user and suitable for a university-type environment. The proposed technique has some features of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Impact Assessment of Quarrying Plants: An IRF Kriging Solution to Noise and Airborne Dust MonitoringDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariA geostatistical approach is tested for the assessment of the environmental impact generated by industrial plants on the surrounding areas. To this end, a case study of a tuff quarry in the Italian region of Lazio is presented. The method utilised is Intrinsic Kriging with external drift which allows spatial maps of different hazardous agents like noise and airborne dust … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2019 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Modelling of Flood Hazards in the Rapidly Growing City of Osogbo, Osun State, NigeriaSuleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Oluchi Christiana Onuoha, Komolafe Akinola Adesuji et al.In recent times, the swift and uncoordinated urban expansion in the medium sized city of Osogbo has increasingly encroached on the environmental sensitive areas. This uncoordinated exploitation of the ecological fragile areas for urban development has triggered urban flooding, which poses serious threat to human lives and properties in the city. This study therefore utilized geospatial technologies to generate flood … …Space Science International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 13,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInverse Kinematics at the Anthropomorphic Robots, by a Trigonometric MethodRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.A robot is a machine especially programmable one through a computer capable of performing a complex series of actions in the automatic mode. Robots may be guided by a control device or external control may be incorporated in the inside. Robots can be built to take human form, but most robots are machines designed to perform a task without taking … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2017 · 8,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong-Term Characterization of Landfill Leachate: Impacts of the Tropical Climate on its CompositionJorge Luiz da Paixão Filho, Miriam Gonçalves MiguelThe disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in sanitary landfills produces leachate, whose composition changes depending on the microbial community and the environmental conditions. However, these changes cannot be observed in sanitary landfill because of the superposition of cells, which makes it difficult to determinate the relationship among the phases of biodegradation of MSW, the composition of the leachate and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2017 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Worldview-2 Satellite Imagery to Support Geoscience Studies on Phlegraean AreaPasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioWorldView-2 satellite imagery includes half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 m multispectral resolution. Because of the reduced dimensions of pixels and articulated spectral acquisition these images supply detailed information that can be used for geoscience applications, above all to investigate areas, identify land cover, bound vegetated zones, outline transformations (change detection). The aim of this study is to remark possibilities to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreating New Spaces for Learning: Fostering Experiential and Service Learning, Journeys through the African American PastDolapo Adeniji-NeillProblem statement: Experiential education and service learning are interchangeable. They are defined as an approach to education that implicitly trusts the learner’s ability to learn through experience, rather than a movement for change that seeks to challenge mainstream education. While literature, research, communities and schools recognize the importnce of experiential education, controversies exit as to their efficacies in learning processes. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2012 · 9,090 accessesView PDFCite
