Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Subsurface Defects in Concrete Bridge Deck JointsWonchang Choi, Larry Rickard, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel PicornellProblem statement: The integrity of deck joints in highway bridges plays a major role to determine overall performance of bridge system. As the bridge maintenance program, the defects in deck joints have historically been detected by conventional non-destructive testing and evaluation methods such as visual inspection, chain-dragging and by the detecting sounds under the traffic. Future bridge maintenance challenges will … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Genetic Correlations on Sweet Corn Inbred Lines Using SAS Mixed ModelPedram Kashiani, Ghizan SalehProblem statement: Genetic correlations among traits refer to the extent of relatedness among them due to genetic causes. Estimating genetic correlations for quantitative traits is tedious if done manually. Approach: However, the use of the computer software SAS, applying mixed-model analysis of variance has facilitated many recent studies in evolutionary quantitative genetics. Results: In this two-way statistical model, the variance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethod of Fingerprint IdentificationSurachai PanichProblem statement: The main task of this study was finding out an effective algorithm in order to match two fingerprints taken from database. The fingerprint identification techniques used in a small database in order to find out an effective algorithm to develop the accuracy in matching process. Higher-level application of this proposed algorithm was determined. Approach: The main objectives in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 24 Aug 2010 · 6,996 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Transporting System Model for Oil RefineryRazman Mat Tahar, Waleed K. AbduljabbarProblem statement: Oil refineries are widely used to store various liquids and gases. Petroleum products are in high demand. Oil companies have abundant resources of petroleum products in pipelines and storage tanks. Approach: Included are storage tanks at retail gasoline station, home heating oil tanks, lubricant storage at automotive service facilities, propane tanks in all sorts of application, and oil … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultienvironment Analysis of Traits Relation and Hybrids Comparison of Maize Based on the Genotype by Trait BiplotSaeed Safari Dolatabad, Rajab Choukan, Eslam Majidi Hervan, Hamid DehghaniProblem Statement: The Genotype by Trait (GT) biplot can be used to compare cultivars on the basis of multiple traits and to identify cultivars that are particularly good in certain traits and therefore can be candidates for parents in plant breeding program. Approach: The objective of this study was to evaluate the maize hybrids based on Genotype by Traits (GT) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability of Axially Loaded Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Confined Reinforced Concrete Circular ColumnsVenkatarman Nagaradjane, Pulipaka Narasimharao Raghunath, Kannan SugunaMonte-Carlo simulation based procedure was applied for assessing the reliability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete columns. Assessment of reliability provides a quantitative measure of effectiveness of repair. Problem Statement: The procedure presented in the paper could be used for assessing the reliability of reinforced concrete columns before and after the application of FRP wrap, thus helping to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraveling Salesman Approach for Solving Petrol Distribution Using Simulated AnnealingZuhaimy Ismail, Wan Rohaizad Wan IbrahimThis research presents an attempt to solve a logistic company's problem of delivering petrol to petrol station in the state of Johor. This delivery system is formulated as a travelling salesman problem (TSP). TSP involves finding an optimal route for visiting stations and returning to point of origin, where the inter-station distance is symmetric and known. This real world application … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Rheological Properties of Bio Mastic AsphaltR. Muniandy, H. Jafariahangari, R. Yunus, S. HassimDue to the high oil prices the price of asphalt binder has increased tremendously. This scenario has warranted demand for higher viscosity cheaper asphalt for pavement construction. A study was conducted to take advantage of the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) of Date and Oil Palm trees (which are considered as waste) to produce cellulose fiber to be used as additives … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating E-learning Programs: An Adaptation of Kirkpatrick's Model to Accommodate E-learning EnvironmentsThair M. HamtiniProblem Statement: Kirkpatrick's model for the evaluation of training programs has been a staple in institutional learning since 1959 and is easily applicable to any training program. Approach: This model, however, was developed for traditional learning environments and has been regarded as antiquated, especially when one took into consideration the fact that institutional learning has increasingly taken on the form … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite
