Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIntegration of Electrical and Electromagnetic Investigation for Contaminated SiteAlberto Godio, Mario NaldiProblem statement: The environmental assessment of industrial areas is required to minimize the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. The survey of wide areas (e.g., some hectares) provides a high economical and complex logistical impact when random strategies of soil sampling are adopted. Recently, geophysical methods had been successfully adopted to drive the process of the spatial sampling of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUsing Culture, Policy and Traditional Knowledge to Improve Engagement in Science CoursesLawrence K. Duffy, Catherine Hurt Middlecamp, Anna Godduhn, Cindy E. FabbriProblem statement: In our undergraduate science courses, we need to engage students by including the current issues and concerns of our students as well as recognizing the place-based context in which they learn. Including culture, policy and traditional knowledge when it intersects with a chemical principle and a challenging real world issue adds concreteness to the scientific process. Approach: Science … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGeoradar Measurements for the Snow Cover DensityA. GodioGround Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow density, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Antidiabetic Efficacy of Combined Extracts from Two Continental Plants: Azadirachta indica (A. Juss) (Neem) and Vernonia amygdalina (Del.) (African Bitter Leaf)Patrick Ekong Ebong, Item Justin Atangwho, Eyong Ubana Eyong, Godwin Eneji EgbungPolyherbal therapy is said to be a current pharmacological principle having the advantage of producing maximum therapeutic efficacy with minimum side effects. We assessed the antidiabetic efficacy and hence the impact on biochemical indices of toxicity by a combination of extracts from neem and bitterleaf. Thirty rats, 25 diabetic and 5 non-diabetic rats, were used for the study. The diabetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Aug 2008 · 14,400 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOpen ended-coaxial Cable Measurements of Saturated Sandy SoilsAlberto GodioThe application of electromagnetic methods in the radar and micro-wave frequency band allows the fluid content of soils to be estimated; the heuristic or physically-based models permit to relate the observed electrical permittivity of the soils with the porosity and fluid saturation. The role of the effect of the free water and bound water in the overall electromagnetic behaviour of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDC Motor Control Predictive ModelsRavinesh Singh, Godfrey C. Onwubolu, Krishnileshwar Singh, Ritnesh RamDC motor speed and position controls are fundamental in vehicles in general and robotics in particular. This study presents a mathematical model for correlating the interactions of some DC motor control parameters such as duty cycle, terminal voltage, frequency and load on some responses such as output current, voltage and speed by means of response surface methodology. For this exercise, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSplitting Technique Initialization in Local PCAAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThe local Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduces linearly redundant components that may present in higher dimensional space. It deploys an initial guess technique which can be utilized when the distribution of a given multivariate data is known to the user. The problem in initialization arises when the distribution is not known. This study explores a technique that can be easily … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPattern Classification: An Improvement Using Combination of VQ and PCA Based TechniquesAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThis study firstly presents a survey on basic classifiers namely Minimum Distance Classifier (MDC), Vector Quantization (VQ), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Nearest Neighbor (NN) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Then Vector Quantized Principal Component Analysis (VQPCA) which is generally used for representation purposes is considered for performing classification tasks. Some classifiers achieve high classification accuracy but their data storage requirement and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Note on “Surface Roughness Prediction Model in Machining of Carbon Steel by PVD Coated Cutting Tools”Godfrey C. OnwuboluAn article published in this journal by Sahin and Motorcu[1] developed a surface roughness model based on the response surface method, multiplicative-logarithmically linearized approach for determination of the cutting parameters in turning of AISI 1040 carbon steel. Their published results for the surface roughness show that it appears Sahin and Motorcu[1] have obtained wrong constants (C, m, n, p), thereby … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction Risk Taxonomy: An International Convergence of Academic and Industry PerspectivesKristen Barlish, Alberto De Marco, Muhammad Jamaluddin ThaheemRisk management is a topic heavily researched and important for industry professionals. Both academic and industry perspectives are critical to advancing this field, especially in risk identification and taxonomy. A unique comparison and convergence of these perspectives is developed in order to understand the most relevant risks for projects and to ensure they are addressed in the risk management process. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2013 · 7,331 accessesView PDFCite
