Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Time Series Forecasting for the Cumulative Confirmed and Critical Cases of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Saudi Arabia using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) ModelSamer H. Atawneh, Osamah A.M. Ghaleb, Ahmad MohdAziz Hussein et al.Reviews at present, different machine learning techniques and algorithms have been applied for predicting significant factors of the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) such as the outbreak and diagnosis. In this study, the most accurate time series forecasting model, namely, the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model is used to forecast the expected cumulative number of confirmed and critical cases in Saudi … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2020 · 7,602 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Concerns and Toxicogenetic Endpoints of Priority Substances (PSs) and Contaminants of Emerging Concerns (CECs): A Comprehensive ReviewDe-Sheng Pei, Chun-Di Chen, Naima Hamid et al.Priority Substance (PSs) and Contaminant of Emerging Concerns (CECs) exhibited a wide range of environmental and public health concerns worldwide. This review summarized the documented studies related to the current surface water occurrence, spatial distribution, ecological risks and toxicity of selected PSs, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and CECs, such as Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) and Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2018 · 8,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,387 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuses Running on GasRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Today, the transport problem is not only very diverse and complex but also highly disputed in terms of the optimal way of achieving modern and ecological transports. The energy and social crisis that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, which then haunted the planet repeatedly, becoming a major crisis, could be successfully avoided by postponing and reprogramming until mankind managed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameters Affecting the Performance of a Plate Heat Exchanger using the CFDKutay Aydın, Onur Vahip Güler, Ali KeçebaşA plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchangers that provides more surface area for heat transfer between two fluids. Plate heat exchangers are widely used for heat transfer applications in the industry. In addition, they are now widely used in many applications such as food processing, chemical reaction processes, heating and cooling applications in sectors such as petroleum. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 15 Aug 2017 · 8,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparability Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Tissue Load in Some Fish: Implication on Reciprocal Synergism and Risk AssessmentVictor Eshu Okpashi, Ogugua Victor Nwadiogbu, Joshua Parkar Elijah et al.Six years after oil spill occur in Qua Ibeo river, environmental monitoring was set out to investigate residual petroleum compounds (PHCs) that are bio-accumulated by fish. Bio-concentration of residual Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fish tissues was determined in six fresh fish species. Twelve water samples were collected from Qua Ibeo river 1 KM apart. The screening was conducted using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
