Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,996 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAn Economic and Environmental Evaluation of the Em-Ferro Plastic Sorting TechnologySeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Omid Nematshahi, Matthew FranchettiRecycling has been continually practiced since the dawn of mankind; however, increasing production costs as well as environmental impacts of the conventional waste disposal methods have shed a light on the importance of recycling as a sustainable way to produce goods and services. Recycling has proven to be beneficial, economically and environmentally: It saves resources, prevents pollution, supports public health … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 May 2015 · 6,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Information Modeling for Indoor Environmental Performance AnalysisYaik-Wah LimThere are increasing numbers of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software available nowadays which change the working methods in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. From the stages of building design development to post-occupancy management, BIM plays an essential role in collaboration among multi-discipline professions, time and cost saving, fabrication and construction as well as facilities management. With the arising concern … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Energy Efficient Passive Clustering Mobility in Wireless Sensor NetworksAouad Siham, Maach Abdelillah, El Ganami DrissWireless sensor networks have a wide applicability and increase deployment in the near future. In most of those applications, the network is composed of an important number of nodes deployed in an extensive area in which not all nodes are directly connected and based on clustering techniques. The Clustering can considerably reduce transmission overhead during flooding. In fact, by using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Scheduling Al-gorithms in Cloud Computing EnvironmentIsam Azawi MohialdeenAn essential requirement in cloud computing environment is scheduling the current jobs to be executed with the given constraints. The scheduler should order the jobs in a way where balance between improving the quality of services and at the same time maintaining the efficiency and fairness among the jobs. Thus, evaluating the performance of scheduling algorithms is crucial towards realizing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2013 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Performance in Cryptography Algorithms (Blowfish and Skipjack)Ali Ahmad Milad, Hjh Zaiton Muda, Zul Azri Bin Muhamad Noh, Mustafa Almahdi AlgaetProblem statement: The main goal guiding the design of any encryption algorithm needs to be secured against unauthorized attacks. For all applied applications, performance and the cost of implementations are also important concerns. A data encryption algorithm would not be of much use if it is secure enough but slow in performance because it is a common repetition to embed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 7 Jul 2012 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Thin-Film as Wavelength Filter in Wdm-Pof NetworkMohd Syuhaimi Ab. Rahman, L. S. Supian, Hadi Guna et al.Problem statement: Huge capacity for data transmission and bandwidth are becoming a need nowadays. High cost of implementation using optical fibers prevents utilization of the technology as wide as possible. Approach: Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) was a technique that offers the solution for providing better bandwidth. WDM technique allows several signals that have different wavelengths to be transmitted in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 9 Dec 2011 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
