Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Performance Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames with Various Ductility in Low Seismic ZoneN. Choopool, V. BoonyapinyoProblem statement: Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is at moderate risk for distant earthquake due to the ability of soft soil to amplify ground motion about 3-4 times although it locates in low seismic zone. In addition, before the enforcement of seismic loading for buildings in the Ministerial Law in 2007, many existing reinforced concrete buildings in Bangkok may have … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 9,499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Disruption-Tolerant Model for Building a Mobile Application Using Web ServiceMaryati Mohd. Yusof, Mansor Omar, Zarina ShukurProblem statement: The emerging technology in broadband telecommunication and mobile devices has increased the use of mobile applications. However, the use of mobile application is affected with low bandwidth or disrupted broadband telecommunication due to building blockage or out of coverage area. Approach: We proposed a Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Application Model (DTMA) that enables remote data access and overcomes constraint due … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 1 Dec 2010 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAchieving Goals through Architectural Design DecisionsLena Khaledproblem statement: the main problem in building any system is that many decisions appear through its design. These decisions are affected mainly by the goals that the architect wants to achieve. These goals shape the architectural design of a system; the architect needs to know the best decisions to use them through building the design of a system. Approach: Design … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 4 Nov 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Thermal Comfort in Respect to Building Height in a High-Density City in the TropicsAnisha Noori Kakon, Mishima Nobuo, Shoichi Kojima, Taguchi YokoProblem statement: The significance of urban design and planning in the tropics lies mostly on its climatic and regional concerns. Among many design parameters, building height is an important parameter which affects thermal climate in the city considerably. This study investigated the effect of building height on outdoor thermal comfort during the daytime in summer in Dhaka, Bangladesh which is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Ventilation of Indoor Air Temperature: A Case Study of the Traditional Malay House in PenangAhmad Sanusi Hassan, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: It was the aim of the study to analyze the level of performance of natural air ventilation with a case study of the traditional Malay house in Penang, Malaysia. This study provided information on the architectural design in relation to natural air ventilation. It promoted passive design in contrast to most housing design which has poor natural air … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 11,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Factors Influencing Design Team Attributes in Green BuildingsMohamed S. Elforgani, Ismail RahmatProblem statement: Buildings contribute significantly global environmental problems. Better design can minimize these impacts. Design Green Building (DGB) aims to reduce buildings' impact on the environment. However, the green design performance depends on design team attributes. In addition, the Governance System (GS) and Client Quality (CQ) as external factors have influence on Design Team Attributes (DTA) of green building. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemory Storage Issues of Temporal Database Applications on Relational Database Management SystemsSami M. Halawani, Nashwan A. Al-RomemaProblem statement: Many existing database applications manage time-varying data. These database applications are referred to as temporal databases or time-oriented database applications that are considered as repositories of time-dependent data. Many proposals have been introduced for developing time-oriented database applications, some of which suggest building support for Temporal Database Management Systems (TDBMS) on top of existing non-temporal DBMSs, while others … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUML Diagrams Generator: A New CASE Tool to Construct the Use-Case and Class Diagrams from an Event TableMohammad I. Muhairat, Rafa E. Al-Qutaish, Akram A. AbdelqaderProblem statement: Building UML diagrams is a very important and time consuming task for both requirements and design phases. However, some of these diagrams, such as use-case and class diagrams can be considered as a transition between the two phases. Approach: Through this study, the event table will be used to derive the use-case and class diagrams. Results: A new … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectronic Design Automation Using Object Oriented ElectronicsWalid M. Aly, Mohamed Said AbuelnasrProblem statement: Electronic design automation is the usage of computer technology and software tools for designing integrated electronic system and creating electrical schematics. Approach: An approach is presented for modeling of various electronic and electric devices using object oriented design, aiming on building a library of devices (classes) which can be used for electronic design automation. Results: The presented library … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,793 accessesView PDFCite
