Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimating the Scouring Depth of Bridge Pier Using Self-Organizing Neural Networks (SOM)Abolfazl Rafat, Gholam Abbas Barani, Amineh NaseriScouring is caused as a result of erosion of river bed by water flow and materials carried by water. This research estimates the scouring depth using self-organizing neural network (SOM). The obtained findings were compared with findings of other models. It was found that self- organizing neural network (SOM) has higher correlation coefficient (0.98), compared to other methods. It was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2017 · 7,500 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Dynamics Studies of Human β-GlucuronidaseIbrahim Ali Noorbatcha, Ayesha Masrur Khan, Hamzah Mohd SallehProblem statement: The enzyme β-glucuronidase is being used as a reporter molecule in the area of genetic engineering, as a component of prodrug therapy in cancer treatment and in the scouring process of cotton fabrics. However, a detailed understanding of the factors responsible for the stability and the activity of this enzyme is still not available. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,613 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Environmental and Hydraulic Performance of Bio-Composite Revetment BlocksThamer A. Mohamed, Nor A. Alias, Abdul H. Ghazali, Mohd. S. JaafarIt is necessary to develop a concrete revetment block which can cater for environment and at the same time it will be effective in protecting river banks (stabilize the slope of banks) from scouring during flood. In the present study, the environmental and hydraulic performance of the proposed revetment block was evaluated through laboratory and field tests. The tested revetment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,967 accessesView PDF Cite
