Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCooperation in Rural Areas as a Local System Development OpportunityEmanuele Schimmenti, Giovanni Battista Collura, Giuseppina Migliore et al.The development of rural areas requires the adoption of technology innovation and market approach strategies without departing from the specific features of local production systems, such as agricultural practices and the wealth of knowledge of operators. It is even better the exploitation of these resources to characterize the competitive positioning of territorial systems. In this framework, the cooperative Rinascita, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 3 Jan 2018 · 8,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupervised Machine Learning Model-Based Approach for Performance Prediction of StudentsAbdul Razaque, Abrar M. AlajlanPredicting students’ performance is one of the crucial issue for learning contexts, since it helps to develop alternative recommendation systems for academically weak students. Thus, several methods and practices have been applied for educational improvement. However, most of the existing methods do not determine the performance of the students. In this study, we have studied the execution of six machine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 28 Aug 2020 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Cycle Flow (LCF) Application to Evaluate the Real Estate Investment in Residential Buildings with Tax Benefit Incentives in Cases of Positive ExternalitiesMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziInvesting in the main home is an important form of investment for families and represented one of the main family assets in Italy in the second half of the 20th century. The evaluation of the convenience of the house purchase needs to consider that technologies in construction have undergone a rapid change in recent times that proposes an approach to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 28 Sep 2015 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Thermal Comfort of Different Building Materials in Sana’aMousa Ahmed Alhaddad, Zhou Tie JunThis study describes the impact of alternative building material envelope systems on the overall thermal performance of four selected materials used in Sana’a, Yemen. These systems included adobe, brick, stone and concrete block. After thorough on-site investigation and data collection, the information, along with regional weather data were input into the Ecotect energy simulation software for thermal performance evaluation. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2013 · 8,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility Study and Performance Analysis of Solar Assisted Desiccant Cooling Technology in Hot and Humid ClimateArfidian Rachman, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Sohif Mat, Muhammad YahyaProblem statement: New approaches to space conditioning of buildings are to resolve environmental, economic and regulatory issues. One of the alternative systems that brought to agenda is the desiccant cooling systems, which may provide important advantages in solving air conditioning problems. Approach: The performance analysis of desiccant cooling with solar energy are analyzed. The system was designed, constructed and tested … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynchronous Generator Disturbance Provoked by Induction Motor StartingS. P.Y. Santos, E. Delbone, E. F. Carvalho, L. N. MartinsProblem statement: This study presented an alternative procedure for the starting of large Inductions Motors (IM) in isolated generation systems. Approach: In isolated generation systems on stand-by or base load, the starting of the IM provoked sags frequently beyond the ability of the other consumers in the plant to stand. Manufacturers' solutions always recommend a supersized generator to decrease transient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,948 accessesView PDFCite

VidivelliProblem statement: In India, the early deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has become a big social problem in recent years. An essential research is needed for the development of effective repair materials and their execution systems comes to an important issue from the viewpoint of the longevity of infrastructures at present. Ferrocement laminates are introduced to enhance the overall performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainability of Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Multistorey Residential BuildingsA. Rahman, J. Dbais, M. ImteazProblem statement: The urban water supply systems in Australian large cities, which generally depend on large surface water reservoirs, are highly stressed due to rapid urban growth and severe drought conditions during the current decade. To ensure the long term sustainability of urban water supply, various alternative water sources including rainwater tanks, grey water, wastewater and desalination plants are being … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 14,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Calculating the Hougaard Measure of Skewness in a Nonlinear Regression Model with Two ParametersS. A. EL-ShehawyProblem statement: This study presented an alternative computational algorithm for determining the values of the Hougaard measure of skewness as a nonlinearity measure in a Nonlinear Regression model (NLR-model) with two parameters. Approach: These values indicated a degree of a nonlinear behavior in the estimator of the parameter in a NLR-model. Results: We applied the suggested algorithm on an example … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
