Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEmpirical Validation of Daylight Simulation Tool with Physical Model MeasurementYaik-Wah Lim, Mohd. Hamdan Ahmad, Dilshan Remaz OssenProblem statement: In recent years, daylighting simulation tools have been increasingly used by many architects, engineers and researchers to evaluate the day lighting performances of building design. Most of these tools employ CIE sky models for simulation. However, the accuracy and applicability of these tools for tropical sky are doubtable. The aim of this study was to validate the computer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Study of Network Traffic Pattern and its Impact on Performance in Implementation of Web ServicesK. Velmurugan, M. A.M. MohamedProblem statement: Currently it is evident that the web service is emerging as a solution for business applications and deployment of web services witnesses exponential growth. Web services rely on networks particularly internet for implementing and consuming them in different applications. Whenever a network is involved in a software system, network traffic payload measurement and communication pattern play a key … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2012 · 8,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLung Sound Classification Using Empirical Mode Decomposition and the Hjorth DescriptorAchmad Rizal, Risanuri Hidayat, Hanung Adi NugrohoLung sound is produced by the respiration process in the human respiratory tract. It contains information about the health of the respiratory organs. Lung sound is non-stationary signals and complex signals. One method for the analysis of non-stationary signals often used for the analysis of lung sounds is Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). EMD is used to view the Instantaneous Frequency … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2017 · 8,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of an Educational Scenario Exercise on Participants' Competencies of Systemic ThinkingSimon BurandtProblem statement: Education for sustainable development (ESD) aims to shape key competencies of individuals and therefore needs methods to enable learners to acquire these competencies. Systemic thinking can be regarded as a meta-competency in ESD, because it contains many important aspects found in most key competencies of ESD. Scenario analysis is described as a learning environment that fosters the acquisition … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 8,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Predictability of Risk Box Approach by Genetic Programming Method for Bankruptcy PredictionAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma bt Ibrahim, A. K.M. AzharProblem statement: Theoretical based data representation is an important tool for model selection and interpretations in bankruptcy analysis since the numerical representation are much less transparent. Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-scalicity are solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. Approach: This study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat Accounts for Growth in African AgricultureGuy B. Nkamleu, Kalilou Sylla, Abdoulaye ZononEmpirical relationships between the rates of growth and total factor productivity growth, physical input accumulation, as well as institutional and agro-ecological change is evaluated using an international panel data set on 26 African countries and covering the period 1970-2000. The analysis employs the broader framework provided by empirical growth literature and recent developments in TFP measurement. Results suggest a positive … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Look at Our Old Attitude ProblemRajvinder SamraAcross the disciplines, attitudes are commonly measured through the use of unidimensional scaling (e.g., Likert scaling). Given that the Likert measurement scale (multiple equivalent items regarding an attitudinal target from which a summated score is produced) and the Likert response format (positive to negative judgements) were developed over 80 years ago, this article questions whether Likert scaling is still optimal … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2014 · 8,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF CRUMB RUBBER TO IMPROVE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIALSAshraf Fadiel, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMotivated by the tremendous trend toward green environment and to reduce the effect of scrap tires on the environment and human health, this research is an attempt to find a practical and environmentally sound solution of the problem of scrap tires by developing a light weight with low thermal conductivity composite construction materials using waste tires. A few literatures may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 12,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
