Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Slope Assessment System in Predicting Landslides along Roads Underlain by Granitic FormationBujang B.K. Huat, S. JamaludinA slope assessment is to estimate the probability of occurrence and likely severity of landslides in a given area. This study evaluates two existing Slope Assessment Systems (SAS) for predicting landslide at the micro level of assessment developed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia, namely the Slope Information Management System (SIMS) and the Slope Management and Risk Tracking System … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Channel Equalization Using Multiplicative Neural Network for Rayleigh Faded ChannelP. Sivakumar, N. Chithra, S. N. Sivanandam, M. RajaramProblem statement: Digital transmission over band-limited communication channel largely suffers from ISIS and various noise sources. The presence of ISI and noise causes bit errors in the received signal. Equalization is necessary at the receiver to overcome these channel impairment to recover the original transmitted sequence. Traditionally equalization is considered as equivalent to inverse filtering and implemented using linear-perform under … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 18 Aug 2011 · 6,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the Periodic Maintenance Scheduling Problem via Genetic Algorithm to Balance Workforce Levels and Maintenance CostMohamed Ali Abdel-Fattah MansourProblem statement: In this article we address the multi-objective Periodic Maintenance Scheduling Problem (PMSP) of scheduling a set of cyclic maintenance operations for a given set of machines through a specified planning period to minimize the total variance of workforce levels measured in man-hours and maintenance costs with equal weights. Approach: The article proposed a mixed integer non-linear math programming … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 8,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Back Propagation Neural Networks for Grading Jatropha curcas Fruits MaturityZ. Effendi, R. Ramli, J. A. GhaniProblem statement: Jatropha curcas has the potential to become one of the world’s key energy crops. Crude vegetable oil, extracted from the seeds of the Jatropha plant, can be refined into high quality biodiesel. Traditional identification of Jatropha curcas fruits is performed by human experts. The Jatropha curcas fruit quality depends on type and size of defects as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPile Instrumentation Using Retrievable SensorsFaisal Hj. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Sieng KaiStrain gauges are normally used to monitor the shortening or compression of pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
