Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImprove the Consumption of Cement and Sand in Massive ConcreteKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.The massive concretemixing plan is very important due to its large volume of use in concrete dams.Productivity can be increased in dam manufacturing industry by adopting asuitable method for mixing mass concrete that can meet design, executive andeconomic needs. Because of intensification rate construction of dams newperiods and high cost of implementing such projects any step that reduces theircost of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 1 Nov 2021 · 6,347 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUSE OF CRUMB RUBBER TO IMPROVE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIALSAshraf Fadiel, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMotivated by the tremendous trend toward green environment and to reduce the effect of scrap tires on the environment and human health, this research is an attempt to find a practical and environmentally sound solution of the problem of scrap tires by developing a light weight with low thermal conductivity composite construction materials using waste tires. A few literatures may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 12,197 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordConstruction Risk Taxonomy: An International Convergence of Academic and Industry PerspectivesKristen Barlish, Alberto De Marco, Muhammad Jamaluddin ThaheemRisk management is a topic heavily researched and important for industry professionals. Both academic and industry perspectives are critical to advancing this field, especially in risk identification and taxonomy. A unique comparison and convergence of these perspectives is developed in order to understand the most relevant risks for projects and to ensure they are addressed in the risk management process. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2013 · 7,331 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReal Time Object Tracking and Protection: Hybrid Logistics Architecture in Ubiquitous Environments (HLAiUE)Abdul Jawwad Patel, Abeer Alsadoon, P.W.C. Prasad, A. ElchouemiRealtime object security and vehicle tracking have not been successfully implemented in commercial vehicles due to limitations in processing large amount of data and hardware capabilities. This paper aimed to improve the object security, processing power and data storage in a distributed environment. The proposed system (HLAiUE) consists of a three-layer architecture, first layer is used to collect data, second … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 17 Oct 2018 · 7,520 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIn-silico Rational Protein Engineering and Design Approach to Improve Thermostability of a Haloalkane Dehalogenase EnzymeRaghunath Satpathy, V. Badireenath Konkimalla, Jagnyeswar RathaThermostability of enzymes is a major prerequisite for use in industrial enzymology. There are as such no simple general principles for achieving thermostability in case of enzymes as many factors are required to fulfil for different enzymes. The present study describes computational methods to design thermostable haloalkane dehalogenase enzyme using the crystal structure available Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 1EDE). … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Oct 2015 · 8,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Review on Construction Technologies that Enables Environmental Protection: Rubberized ConcreteG. Senthil Kumaran, Nurdin Mushule, M. LakshmipathyThroughout the world, the disposal of used tires is a major environmental problem causing environmental hazards such as breeding ground for mosquitoes, producing uncontrolled fire and they are contaminating the soil and vegetation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify alternative outlets for these tyres, with the emphasis on recycling the waste tyre. Concrete is an excellent structural material … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,914 accessesView PDF Cite
