Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Ergonomics Guidelines for Improved Sitting Postures in the Classroom among Malaysian University StudentsPoh Kiat Ng, Kian Siong Jee, Sin Yee LimPLIBEL stands for Plan for Identifiering av Belastnings faktorer, which is a Sweedish acronym describing a method for identification of ergonomics hazards. Using a modified PLIBEL checklist, this study aimed to identify the relationships among musculoskeletal risk factors and the classroom sitting conditions among Malaysian university students. A survey questionnaire was developed based on the modified PLIBEL checklist. A total … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2016 · 9,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling the Efficacy of Antiretroviral Treatment in HIV Patients: Case of Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane, Gauteng Province, South AfricaMadimetja Marcus Motshwane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThis paper used survival analysis to evaluate the efficacy of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in HIV patients and also to determine if ARVs reduces the risk of HIV/AIDS. Secondary data were collected from files archived in Tshepang Clinic in Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane, Gauteng Province of South Africa. Survival time was regressed on influential variables that affect survival. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting of Humidity of Some Selected Stations from the Northern Part of Bangladesh: An Application of SARIMA ModelMd. Moyazzem Hossain, Md. Atikur Rahman, Md. Zahirul Islam, Ajit Kumar MajumderCommunity risk from natural hazards and climate change depends largely on physical and climatic settings of an area, socio-economic condition of a community and the magnitude, duration and consecutiveness of the hazard or change itself. Impacts of climate change can be characterized by increasing temperatures, rainfall, humidity changes and climate related extreme events such as floods, cyclone, droughts, sea level … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 10 May 2016 · 8,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Projects Sharing Ratios under Musharakah Financing: A Repeated Game Theoretical Approach Using an Output versus a Proposed Effort Based ContractAdil Elfakir, Mohamed TkiouatIn this research, we provide a game theoretical approach of new projects financed under musharakah contracts using two types of contracts. The first type is effort based. It compensates the agent for the effort provided regardless of market conditions. The other type of contract is output based where the agent compensation is based solely on output realized. Our intuition is, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA GQM Based Approach towards the Development of Metrics for Software SafetyKotti Jayasri, Panchumarthy SeetharamaiahSoftware sometimes safety-critical if it resides in a safety-critical computer systems and it causes or contributes to hazards. Therefore, Safety-critical software intensive systems require verification and validation to confirm that they function as per the safety requirements. Software Safety is a combination of many factors. Metrics are commonly used in engineering as measures for the performance of a system on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 30 Sep 2015 · 6,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegradation of Power Generation Performance due to Effects of Various Ice Shapes and Accretions on Wind Turbine BladesAditya Bagade, Changki Mo, Abdelhamid MazherIn today’s world, green energy has become a key initiative as an alternative energy resource. Wind turbines are widely used to harvest wind energy in seasonal and cold environments. Although efficient, cold weather conditions negatively affects wind turbine operations due to ice formation. Damage from icing is seen on blade-tips when super-cooled water droplets that form in colder environments rapidly … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEASONAL DROUGHT DYNAMICS IN EL-BEHEIRA GOVERNORATE, EGYPTAmr Mossad, Hazem S. Mehawed, Ahmed El-ArabyDrought is the most damaging climate-related hazards due to the prolonged absence of precipitation. Therefore, understanding the drought dynamics is important for irrigation water management to mitigate the negative impacts on agriculture. In this study, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were used as effective tools for tracking the changes of water status occurred at five … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 7,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Textile Dye Using Immobilized Bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Fungal (Phanerochate chrysosporium) CellsNatarajan Saravanan, Tiruvenkadam Kannadasan, Chiya Ahmed Basha, Veerasamy ManivasaganWastewater containing dyes presents a serious problem due to its high toxicity which leads to creating enormous environmental pollution and ecological hazards. Therefore the removal of the high stable dyes from the textile effluents is of major importance.
