Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulator for Optimization of Software Project Cost and ScheduleP. K. Suri, B. BhushanEach phase of the software design consumes some resources and hence has cost associated with it. In most of the cases cost will vary to some extent with the amount of time consumed by the design of each phase .The total cost of project, which is aggregate of the activities costs will also depends upon the project duration, can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Electricity Price on Saving Energy Transmitted from External Building WallsSamah K. Alghoul, Ammar O. Gwesha, Abdurrauf M. NaasSpace heating and cooling loads consume a significant part of the national produced energy in many countries. Therefore, substantial energy savings can be achieved by the reduction of spent energy in this category. Since wall insulation is rarely used in Libya, this research was conducted to study the effect of electricity price on residential heating and cooling energy consumption and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 May 2016 · 10,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoupling Routing Algorithm and Data Encoding for Low Power Networks on ChipMaurizio Palesi, Davide Patti, Giuseppe Ascia et al.The routing algorithm used in a Network-on-Chip (NoC) has a strong impact on both the functional and non functional indices of the overall system. Traditionally, routing algorithms have been designed considering performance and cost as the main objectives. In this study we focus on two important non functional metrics, namely, power dissipation and energy consumption. We propose a selection policy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Analysis on Same Filter Different Sources for Selection of Spectral Filters in Optical DemultiplexerMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Hadiguna, Latifah Sarah SupianThe cost effective demultiplexer based on POF is reported in this study. The demultiplexer is fabricated by combining optical splitter with the suitable filter for wavelength selection. Therefore this study we aims to evaluate the effectiveness of selected color filter film for demultiplexer construction where only signals with certain wavelengths are allowed to pass through the demultiplexer while the other … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 18 Jun 2013 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeographic Information System-Allocation Model for Forest Path: A Case Study in Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, MalaysiaI. Mohd Hasmadi, H. Z. Pakhriazad, F. S. MohamadProblem statement: Forest road planning requires a host of information, particularly the availability of spatial and non-spatial data. The requirement of a planning system or tools to gather, integrate and manipulate all data is essential. The ability of Geographic Information System (GIS) to integrate such massive information and develop a spatial model of earth features will lead to time and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpecting the Unexpected Macroeconomic Volatility and Climate PolicyGajendra Singh ChauhanProblem statement: Analysts have been comparing a policy scenario with a baseline scenario of future economic conditions without the policy, to estimate the emissions reductions and costs of a climate policy. Both scenarios required assumptions about the future course of numerous factors such as population growth, technical change and non-climate policies like taxes. Approach: The purpose of this study was … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransmission Congestion Management by Determining Optimal Location of FACTS Devices in Deregulated Power SystemsSeyed Abbas Taher, Hadi BesharatIn a deregulated electricity market, it may always not be possible to dispatch all of the contracted power transactions due to congestion of the transmission corridors. The ongoing power system restructuring requires an opening of unused potentials of transmission system due to environmental, right-of-way and cost problems which are major hurdles for power transmission network expansion. Flexible ac transmission systems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethodology of Compliant Mechanisms and its Current Developments in Applications: A ReviewSolehuddin Shuib, M.I.Z. Ridzwan, A. Halim KadarmanTraditional rigid-body mechanisms consist of a number of components to implement their functions. Therefore they face problems such as backlash, wear, increase in part-count, weight, assembly cost and time, regular maintenance. Reducing these problems will help in increasing mechanism performance and cost reduction. Recently, there are several examples of compliant mechanisms that have been designed and widely used in various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
