Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Conceptual Model for Risk Allocation in the Construction IndustryChipozya Kosta Tembo-Silungwe, Nthatisi KhatleliAppropriate risk allocation influences positive project delivery on construction projects while inappropriate allocation results in disputes, quality shortfalls, time and cost overruns. The existing body of knowledge provides guides on how risks should be allocated between the contracting parties. Nevertheless, the full appreciation of risks allocation is rarely given as risk allocation is more than just which party should bear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 26 Jun 2017 · 8,945 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEfficient Multipath Routing and Wavelength Allocation Using Traffic Grooming in Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing Mesh NetworksV. Rajamani, T. KavithaIn optical WDM mesh networks, traffic grooming is essential in order to utilize the bandwidth efficiently to minimize the cost and meet the user service requirement. By grooming traffic, it is possible to reduce the total cost of all Add drop multiplexer needed. Also for the high processing capability in a WDM network, the path should be capable of carrying … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 19 Sep 2012 · 6,522 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProviding Fairness to Mobile Workforces in an Automated Task Allocation Process: A Semantic Multi-agent ApproachArash Mousavi, Riza Sulaiman, Md. Jan Nordin et al.Problem statement: Mobile Workforces (MW) unlike computational resources of an automated system are active but not passive entities. Therefore, an automated resource allocation system that deals with MWs should assign tasks to them fairly and in a comparatively equal manner. An unfair task allocation in a group will cause dissatisfaction, which in turn demotivates MWs who are supposed to work … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 16 May 2012 · 7,003 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,092 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Method for Human Resource Risk Management in Mobile Workforce Brokering SystemsArash Mousavi, Md. Jan Nordin, Zulaiha Ali Othman, Riza SulaimanProblem statement: Human Resource Risk Management is one of the crucial issues in Mobile Workforce Management Systems (MWM) in general, and in Mobile Workforce Brokering Systems (MWBS) in Particular. It is important because, if not properly managed, it will cause reduction in accuracy of the automated MWBS, which in turn necessitates more human involvement in the task allocation process. Thus, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,364 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatitis B and C Positivity in Various Categories of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Seropositive Individuals in a Regional STD Centre-an Eight-Year Evaluation of Trends and Risk FactorsSumathi Muralidhar, Manju Bala, Rakesh Kumar Jain et al.Problem statement: Among the various infections whose incidence has increased since the advent of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and C stand out clearly. This is so because the routes of transmission of these infections are essentially the same as those of HIV/AIDS, making co-infections a common occurrence. The risk of infection for Hepatitis B and C is several times more than … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing the Effects of Water and Agriculture Policy Strategies: An Iranian experienceReza Moghaddasi, Ali Bakhshi, Mahmood Daneshvar KakhkiProblem statement: Because of growing demand for water resources, increasing cost of supplying water and overdraft of underground waters, economists suggest water pricing policy to improve water allocation efficiency in Iran. While due to political risk, economic and cultural concerns, government tends to reject that advice. This study addressed questions of what policy alternatives to water pricing could be used … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,307 accessesView PDF Cite
