Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPile Instrumentation Using Retrievable SensorsFaisal Hj. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Sieng KaiStrain gauges are normally used to monitor the shortening or compression of pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSNL2Z: Tool for Translating an Informal Structured Software Specification into Formal SpecificationMohamed A. Sullabi, Zarina ShukurIn the area of software engineering there have been very few efforts to automate the translation from specifications written in natural language to the formal specification languages. Writing of the specifications in natural language is always depending on context and it is commonly vagueness; this represents the major reasons of the challenge. This paper discusses the design of a tool … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,145 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombining ANP and TOPSIS Concepts for Evaluation the Performance of Property-Liability Insurance CompaniesHui-Yin Tsai, Bao-Huey Huang, An Siou WangThis is a significant problem for the property-liability insurance industry. The study first uses Modified Delphi Method to sift influence property-liability insurance effects out norms. Moreover, the evaluation weights are determined using Analytic Network Process (ANP). Finally, the technique for ordering preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) constructs performance evaluation model of property-liability insurance companies in Taiwan. This … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Tsunami Waves with Sloping Bottom and Nonlinear FrictionAgustinus RibalIn this paper we investigate the breaking of long-waves propagating on shallow water with nonlinear friction on the sloping bottom. A complete set of equations is presented and a numerical method is developed to simulate the wave propagation. The method uses an up-wind difference scheme for the nonlinear convective term and the central difference scheme for other derivative terms. Various … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Approach for Offline Handwritten Signature VerificationDebnath Bhattacharyya, Samir Kumar Bandyopadhyay, Poulami Das et al.Signatures were considered an important tool for authenticating the identity of human beings. So, signature verification was one of the biggest uses for that. We proposed an algorithmic approach for the verification of handwritten signatures by applying some statistical methods. The research work was based on the collection of set of signatures from which an average signature was obtained based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 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 · 7,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolitical Stability and Economic Growth in AsiaMuhammad Younis, Xu Xiao Lin, Yahya Sharahili, Santhirasegaram SelvarathinamThis study investigates the effects of various factors of political instability on economic growth in selected ten Asian economies during 1990-2005. Our empirical findings show a close relationship between political stability and economic growth. We have analyzed the data by using ordinary least squire econometrics methods, which conclude that 32.35 scores increasing of index of political stability leads to one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Management: A Case Study of Ongoing Traditional Practices at East Calcutta WetlandShaon Raychaudhuri, Madhusmita Mishra, Poulomi Nandy, Ashoke R. ThakurCalcutta has a unique waste management system which uses the traditional non conventional practice for treating both the solid as well as soluble waste for its 12 million inhabitants . It not only detoxifies the waste but also generates resources for the existing society in form of employment as well as edibles like sufficient vegetable, fish as well as paddy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimization of Multiple-Valued Decision Diagrams Based on Matrix ComputationOmid Kavehie, Keivan Navi, Ebrahim Afjei, Hamid KhorsandThis paper proposes a new algorithm to simplify the multiple valued logic (MVL) decision diagrams. This algorithm is based on a new level coupling rule. By changing the designer’s perspective towards the design, this rule can make further simplification possible. In most of state of the art designs, the decision diagram plays a serious role in the implementation of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite
