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 · 13,835 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of Concentrating Photovoltaic Thermal (CPVT) CollectorsReza Danesh Azarian, Erdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceConcentrating Photovoltaic Thermal Collectors (CPVT) are in the centre of interest among solar collectors. CPVT collectors’ features such as high efficiency and multi-output stimulate researchers and industry partners to focus on this technology. Innovative design is the key point in achieving an efficient collector. In this study, a comprehensive research is conducted on the state-of-the-art developments in CPVT collectors covering … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 7 Jul 2017 · 8,319 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Human Factor in Design Ergonomics: Example of a High Speed Train Cabin DesignHajar El M’hadi, A. CherkaouiThe development of new technologies and technical progress has accelerated man/machine substitution. Work is disappearing in its human form. This technical progress has not avoided certain catastrophes occurring. These major disasters, both for man and for the environment, took place where reliability was at its highest level. The responsibility of the operator, of the human, the weak point in these … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2017 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Mechanical Design Solutions for Sit-To-Stand Assisting DevicesPierluigi Rea, Erika OttavianoSit-to-stand can be considered the most common daily-life activity and it can be defined as a change of posture, in which the base of support is transferred from the seat to the feet. It requires both voluntary movement of different body segments that contribute to the equilibrium and control during an important displacement of the Centre Of Gravity of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2016 · 7,841 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom the Chicago School to Post-sub Cultural Carriage: A Review and Analysis of Contemporary Trends in Youth Culture ResearchMohd. Aslam BhatThe historicity of youth culture studies is much challenging to date exactly. Sociologists however, trace its genesis from Chicago School and then leap to Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. Theoretically it was, with the works of post subculturists that youth culture research gained ascendency. Global youth culture posture further revamped the field. This paper constructs a critical dialogue between … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of the Integration of Wind Turbines into the Design of the Built EnvironmentHassam Nasarullah Chaudhry, John Kaiser Calautit, Ben Richard HughesThe effect of wind distribution on the architectural domain of the Bahrain Trade Centre was numerically analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Using the numerical data, the power generation potential of the building integrated wind turbines was determined in response to the prevailing wind direction. Simulating a reference wind speed of 6 m/s, the findings from the study quantified an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
