Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsManagement of Renewable Energies and Environmental ProtectionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The purpose of this project is to present an overview of renewable energy sources, major technological developments and case studies, accompanied by applicable examples of the use of sources. Renewable energy is the energy that comes from natural resources: The wind, sunlight, rain, sea waves, tides, geothermal heat, regenerated naturally, automatically. Greenhouse gas emissions pose a serious threat to climate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2017 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation Weather-Type Models of Capacitated Arc Routing Problem via HeuristicsZuhaimy Ismail, Mohammad Fadzli RamliProblem statement: In this study, we introduced a new and real-life condition of Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP), a model that represents vehicle’s operation in waste collection. In general, we studied the element of rain drops that affected the collected waste weight in total by imposed a new variable namely rainy weight age. In rainy days, the household refusals did … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsV-Band Fade Dynamics Characteristics Analysis in Tropical RegionKhairayu Badron, Ahmad Fadzil Ismail, Jafri Din, Ahmad Tharek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Satellite operations at V-band in tropical and equatorial regions are constrained as a result of attenuation from rain. Approach: Statistics for 20 consecutive months of V-band terrestrial link signal attenuation measurements in Malaysia were presented in this analysis. Such information was considered very pertinent for Earth-space communication link design and can be used for initial groundwork plan for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Relation Between Jet Stream Location and Cyclones Over the Western IranManuchehr Farajzadeh, Asadolah Khorany, Hassan LashkaryDaily rain data for the selected stations were obtained from the Meteorological Organization of Iran for the 1985-1999 period. The consecutive rain days of length 1 to 5 days and widespread over the study area were extracted. The jet tracks and speed surges were extracted from the daily weather maps of IRIMO for the 54 selected rainy periods. The results … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBehaviour Patterns of the Pine Processionary Moth (Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams; Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae)Ahmad Houri, Dany DoughanThaumetopoea wilkinsoni is a serious pest of pine trees, especially the wide-spread Pinus brutia. This infestation has a significant economic impact both in the loss of forest wood growth and in medical expenses for treating related human diseases. This paper presents a detailed study of the behaviour patterns of the moth stage in an attempt to identify best control methods. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 8,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA TIME-DELAY CASCADING NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE FOR MODELING TIME-DEPENDENT PREDICTOR IN ONSET PREDICTIONAgus Buono, Imas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Mushthofa, Aziz KustiyoThe occurrence of rain before the real start of a rainy season often mislead farmers into thinking that rainy season has started and suggesting them to start planting immediately. In reality, rainy season has not started yet, causing the already-planted rice seed to experience dehydration. Therefore, a model that can predict the onset of rainy season is required, so that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 29 Jan 2014 · 6,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Impact of Climate Factors on the Epidemiology and Management of Potato virus YMahabuba Mostafa, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses give rise to potential loss to global crop production and have the potential to cause widespread damage. Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant virus that belongs to the genus Potyvirus and the family Potyviridae and it is considered a major concern, particularly for solanaceous crops such as potatoes. PVY represents the largest cluster of plant viruses, encompassing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2024 · 4,764 accessesView PDFCite
