Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrack Growth in Concrete Gravity Dams Based on Discrete Crack MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadSeepage is the most parameter in water management safety and in stable agricultural. This seepage is passed through the cracks that are present to some degree in hydraulic structures. They may exist as basic defects in the constituent materials or may be induced in construction or during service life. To avoid such failure in concrete dams, safety would be an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Housing RenewalM. Sitar, K. KrajncFollowing the already proved models the sustainable planning culture is endangering several methods directed towards the needs of tenants in the existing post-war housing stock. The case-study of our project is the renewal of the multi stored building in the housing estate Metalna, Maribor/Tezno (1949). It is based on the sustainable renovation principle for the quality of sustainable housing in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,249 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Reservoir Operation Using Combined Genetic Algorithm and Wavelet Transform MethodL. Ebrahimi, G.A. Barani, H. EbrahimiDams construction are high cost projects, and therefore, optimal using of reservoir storages behind dams is an important task in water resources management. In last decades, various optimization techniques have been used for reservoir operation. Among the new methods, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and wavelet transform (WT) have been widely used in recent years. In this study, GA as well as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRelational Contracting in the Building Sector in Jordan as a Substitute to Conventional Formal MethodsRazan Aleasawi, Sultan TarawnehThe socioeconomic policies within the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan aim to enhance the Public-Private Partnership (PPP), one of the Relational Contracting models, to encourage investment, improve public services, upgrade infrastructure and boost financial resources, in line with Jordan 2025 Vision (Ministry of Municipal Affairs, 2014). The construction sector itself has a growth plan of 5% in order to meet this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2020 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCONSTRUCTION OF GENERAL SUBSUMPTIVE SOLUTIONS OF BOOLEAN EQUATIONS VIA COMPLETE-SUM DERIVATIONAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Hussain Mobarak AlbarakatiBoolean-equation solving permeates many diverse areas of modern science. To solve a system of Boolean equations, one usually combines them into an equivalent single Boolean equation {f(X) = 0} whose set of solutions is exactly the same as that of the original system of equations. One of the general classes of solutions for Boolean equations is the subsumptive general solution, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2014 · 7,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Interregional Freight Generation Modelling Methods by using Nationwide Commodity Flow Survey DataWirach HirunA trip generation model is one of the four parts of the classical transport planning model, which explores the volume of trip or freight at the originating and destination points of a traffic analysis zone. The process of calibrating a trip generation model needs appropriate data. Freight transport data are always robust and a powerful calibration technique is required to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2016 · 8,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCONSTRUCTION OF STRATEGIC CONNECTED DOMINATING SET FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKSVictor Ceronmani Sharmila, Amalanathan GeorgeConnected Dominating Sets (CDSs) can serve as virtual backbones for wireless networks. A smaller virtual backbone (minimum size CDS) incurs less communication overhead. Unfortunately, computing a minimum size CDS is NP-hard and thus many algorithms were developed which concentrates on how to construct smaller CDSs. Aiming for minimum number of nodes in CDS, results in CDSs that are highly unstable. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Nov 2013 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite

Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically having anything to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordWhy College or University Students Hate Proofs in Mathematics?Mbaïtiga ZacharieProblem Statement: A proof is a notoriously difficult mathematical concept for students. Empirical studies have shown that students emerge from proof-oriented courses such as high-school geometry, introduction to proof, complex and abstract algebra unable to construct anything beyond very trivial proofs. Furthermore, most university students do not know what constitutes a proof and cannot determine whether a purported proof is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,849 accessesView PDFCite
