Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVision-Based Real-Time Positioning and Autonomous Navigation System Using Mobile Robot in Indoor EnvironmentsDiop Mamadou, Lim Chot Hun, Lim Tien Sze, Ong Lee YengResearch toward unmanned mobile robot navigation has gained significant importance in the last decade due to its potential applications in the location-based services industry. The increase in construction of large space indoor buildings has made difficulty for humans to operate within such environments. In this study, a mobile robot's indoor navigation algorithm is developed with vision cameras. Using two monocular … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring Intra-City Eco-Efficiency Variations of Urban Infrastructures in JeddahMohammed Aljoufie, Alok TiwariSaudi cities are experiencing construction booms linked to urban infrastructure services and the Kingdom’s second largest city, Jeddah, is not an exception. As these booms are associated with urban expansion and rapid population growth, the major challenge confronting urban planners is the ensuring of resource efficiency given the offered infrastructure. In fact, reducing the consumption of resources and the impact … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 14 May 2016 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Status of Fishes in the Yangtze River and its Ecological Health AssessmentChun-Jiao Lu, Jin-Jing Duan, Muhammad Junaid et al.The Yangtze River, ranking behind the Nile and the Amazon rivers, is the third longest river in the world. The Three Gorges Dam constructed on the Yangtze River dramatically altered the ecological environment in the surroundings. In this review, we integrated the published data about the Three Gorges Project and systematically analyzed the status of fish population in the Three … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2016 · 10,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of Optimum Management System using Cost Evaluation and Financial Analysis for Prevention of Building FailureNima AmaniBuilding management is complex as the implementation of the engineering ‎management system and is subjected to require the top management for supporting the construction industry. To ‎achieve this management must use a system to control the preventive management of building ‎failure. The purpose of the paper is to develop a new approach to optimize the management ‎process for systematic prevention … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 19 Mar 2016 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRapid Entire Body Assessment: A Literature ReviewDima Al Madani, Awwad DababnehThe aim of this review is to provide a summary of one of the observational postural analysis ergonomic assessment tools; Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) in terms of its development, applications, validity and limitations. Research showed REBA’s convenience for postural assessment of jobs in numerous professional settings, including industrial and health care jobs, construction, sawmill tasks, supermarket industry, food industry, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2016 · 16,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoupled Hydrodynamic-Water Quality Model for Pollution Control Scenarios in El-Burullus Lake (Nile Delta, Egypt)A. El-Adawy, A. M. Negm, O. C. Saavedra V et al.El-Burullus Lake is affected by increasing and extensive human activities, rapid social-economic development and the construction of fish ponds nearby. This has significantly impacted the health of the lake eco-system. On the foundation of the two-dimensional depth averaged hydrodynamic model, distributions of the salinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Ammonium (NH4) were modeled. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,207 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENVIRONMENTAL CRITIQUE ON WATER SECTORAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF BANGLADESHShahriar RahmanThe water resources sector of Bangladesh relies on the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) to assess the possible positive and negative impacts on the environmental and social components of the project affected areas. The motivation of this research was to identify the key environmental components, gaps and lapses of current EIA practices in water resources sector of Bangladesh. Under the motivation, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 19 Apr 2014 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Prediction Model for Temperature Distributions in Concrete at Early AgesWondwosen Ali, Girum UrgessaA finite element-finite difference numerical model is developed for predicting non-uniform temperature development in hydrating concrete with respect to time and space. The results obtained from this model can be used by structural and construction engineers to predict critical thermal stresses induced due to differential temperatures between the core and the surface of the concrete at early ages and between … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Exploration of Multilocus Interactions on the Genome-Wide ScaleIvan Kozyryev, Jing ZhangProblem statement: Recent technological and scientific advances propelled the field of Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), which promises to be instrumental in linking many common complex diseases to their genetic origin. While so far such large-scale surveys have been moderately successful in identifying disease related genetic variants, much of disease heritability is still not accounted for by the discovered loci. There … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Jul 2012 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
