Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLOW-COST STRATEGIES TO SAVE ENERGY IN K-12 SCHOOLSNabil Nassif, Raymond C. Tesiero III, Harmohindar Singh, K. M. FlurchickAdvanced Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) offer an excellent means of reducing energy consumption in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems while maintaining and improving indoor environmental conditions. This can be achieved through the use of computational intelligence and optimization with a building automation system and multiple sensors, which can be quite expensive. However, energy awareness and proper scheduling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2014 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF PADDY SOIL UNDER VARIOUS PRESSURE, WATER CONTENT AND TOOL SHAPESI. A. Mari, C. Ji, F. A. Chandio et al.In this study Burger’s four element model was used to analyze rheological parameter of paddy soil of the Southern China. Two types of tool shape include circular shape (with an area of 12.56 cm2) and rectangular shape (with an area of 12.56 cm2) were use to measure the rheological parameter of paddy soil under different loading pressure (7.65, 10.20 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 14 Dec 2013 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING BIT ERROR RATE ON WIRELESS DEEP FADING ENVIRONMENT RECEIVERSK. Jayanthi, V. P. Arunachalam, C. VasanthanayakiOne of the major challenges in wireless communication system is increasing complexity and reducing performance in detecting the received digital information in indoor and outdoor Environments. Consequently to overcome this problem we analyze the delay performance of a multiuser with perfect channel state information transmitting data on deep fading environment. In this proposed system, the Wireless Deep Fading Environment (WDFE) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2013 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHILD VIDEO DATASET TOOL TO DEVELOP OBJECT TRACKING SIMULATES BABYSITTER VISION ROBOTHanan Aljuaid, Dzulkifli MohamadThis study presents a Child Video Dataset (CVDS) that has numerous videos of different ages and situation of children. To simulate a babysitter’s vision, our application was developed to track objects in a scene with the main goal of creating a reliable and operative moving child-object detection system. The aim of this study is to explore novel algorithms to track … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Nov 2013 · 8,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple-Input Multiple-Output Transmission Over a Multipath Faded ChannelsI.A.Z. QatawnehThe use of multiple antennas at the transmitter as well as at the receiver can greatly improve the capacity of a wireless link when operating in a rich scattering environment. In such an arrangement all transmitting antennas radiate in the same frequency band so the overall spectral efficiency becomes very high. Such a multiple antenna scheme, popularly known as Multiple … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 11 Mar 2013 · 6,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuperiority of Prostration as a Protection from Lightning StrikeMiah Muhammad AdelProblem statement: Because of the significant fatalities due to lightning strikes in open fields, exploration has been made to find the human body’s most comfortable posture having the lowest length, width and height and the least ground touch in any terrain indoor and outdoor for the safest shelter from lightning strikes that neutralize an enormous amount of positive and negative … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 May 2012 · 15,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its Metabolites in the Blood of Agrochemicals RetailersAnthony J. Hotton, Jeoffrey T. Barminas, Sunday A. OsemeahonProblem statement: In tropical countries like Nigeria, the storage, sales and handling of pesticide by agrochemical retailers in indoor stores located in open markets and residential areas were fraught with problem of undesirable side effect. Serum levels of 1, 1, 1-trichloro-2, 2-di (4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) and its metabolite were measured among agrochemicals retailers in Taraba, Nigeria. Approach: Blood samples from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Experimental Investigation of PCM Capsules Integrated in Solar Air HeaterMahmud M. Alkilani, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Sohif MatProblem statement: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) process can reduce the time or rate mismatch between energy supply and energy demand. Organic latent heat materials are suitable to use as storage medium, however, the low thermal conductivity of these materials slow the thermal response during charging and discharging processes. Approach: A solar air heater integrated with (PCM) has been designed, fabricated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Eco friendly Refrigerants Usage in Air-ConditionerC. Chinnaraj, R. Vijayan, P. GovindarajanProblem statement: There are two types of global warming contributions through refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
