Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Remote Sensing Techniques in Determining the Risk Taking Level of Different Seasons on Fire Generation in Terms of NDVI Index During the Year Case Study: Golestan Province, IranAkram Karimi, Sara Abdollahi, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.Knowledge of the nature of seasons and months in terms of the fire risk is very important in environmental planning, land management and forest resource management in order to achieve the sustainable development. One of the applications of remote sensing in this regard is the continuous monitoring of the zone to detect changes. Currently, the vegetation mapping is used to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 7,699 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Ethics and Overseas Fieldwork: Are Ethics Committees Oblivious of Cultural Differences?Jones Adu-GyamfiResearch ethics committees have come under increasing criticisms either for been toothless or too fierce. This has mainly come about as a result of the gap in theoretical expectations of research ethics and the experienced realities during fieldwork. In particular, ethics committees incur the displeasure of international students who undertake studies in their own sociocultural contexts. This paper presents a … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2018 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Simulation Method Using Monte Carlo and Clustering Algorithms: A Case Study Covering Drill Bit WearRodolfo Wilvert Reitz, Paulo José de Freitas FilhoMinimization of the cost of drilling an oil well is primarily achieved by reducing the operation completion time, which in turn can be achieved by increasing the Rate of Penetration (ROP). The ROP is the result of a combination of factors, such as lithological formation, operational parameters and bit wear. This paper addresses bit wear during drilling, using a method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2018 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfrared Thermography for the Characterization of Painted Vaults of Historic Masonry BuildingsClaudia Casapulla, Alessandra Maione, Luca Umberto ArgientoThe infrared thermography is a type of non-destructive investigation which can find interesting application in acquiring information about the structural features of ancient masonry buildings. In this case, in fact, the needs of preservation of the historical values have to be compound with the needs of achieving a proper level of knowledge of the parameters influencing the structural behaviour in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSaudi Women's Rights in Civil Public Service SystemDr. Haifa Abdul Rahman Saleh Bin Shalhoub, Dr. Huda Ahmed Al-Khayyal, Dr. Hassa Abdulrahman Al Sanndh, Dr. Hind Fayia Al-ShahraniThis paper aims at understanding the reality of Saudi women's rights in Civil Public service system. In doing so, it aims to examine the planning indicators aimed at increasing awareness about Saudi women’s rights. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the research uses statistical measures-Mean, Standard Deviation and Independent Sample T-test alongside other scientific test techniques such … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2017 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring Hydraulic Conductivity Using Geotechnical CentrifugeNur Aishah Zarime, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study investigated the validity of hydraulic conductivity value using Mini Column Infiltration Test. Granitic residual soils from Broga Selangor, Malaysia were tested to obtain the hydraulic conductivity value in relatively shorter time. Soil samples were physically characterized before being tested using Centrifuge Mini Column Infiltration Technique. A normal 1-g Falling Head Permeability Test (Kf) was also being performed as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2017 · 7,786 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractSequences for Determination of Prime Numbers by Elimination of CompositesJonathan M. Dugas, Brian M. O’ConnorIn this study, sequences are used for direct computation of prime numbers. A single equation for generating all prime numbers with the exception of 2 and 3 and composite numbers that are not divisible by 2 or 3 is presented. A periodicity to the indices of the composites generated by that equation is determined. An equation to determine the indices … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 8,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computational Method Based on Bernstein Polynomials for Solving FredholmIntegro-Differential Equations under Mixed ConditionsMiloud Moussai, Lakhdar ChiterIn this study, a computational method for solving linear FredholmIntegro-Differential Equation (FIDE) of the first order under the mixed conditions using the Bernstein polynomials. First, we present some properties of these polynomials and the method is explained. These properties are then used to convert the integro-differential equation to a system of linear algebraic equations with unknown Bernstein coefficients. Using Galerkin … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2017 · 7,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Speed-Density Relationship Model for Pedestrian FlowLuthful Alahi Kawsar, Noraida Abdul Ghani, Anton Abdulbasah Kamil, Adli MustafaThe speed-density relationship performs as a basis to realize the behavior of a complex system such as vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow. Based on the speed-density relationship, the relationships between other pedestrian characteristics such as speed-flow, flow-density and speed-pedestrian module could be derived. Compared to vehicular flow, very little research has been done to develop a general model to describe … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2017 · 7,869 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Self-Concept Participatory Learning Model for the Improvement of Literacy Skills of the Learners in Community Learning CentresMumun Munawaroh, Dasim Budimansyah, Enceng Mulyana, Ace SuryadiIlliteracy eradication manifests as an important and a common aspect in many countries' development agendas as well as in the United Nation's development initiatives. Indonesia is one of such countries. Based on the data of 2004, Indonesia has at least 28 regencies that still have high illiteracy rates. This condition hinders national growth and development of a country. With a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2017 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
