Abstract: The challenges and negative externalities associated with the use of plastics have come to greater light as a result of the extensive use and applications of the product. Waste management, sanitation, health and environmental problems are all over constituting nuisance, overshadowing the numerous...     Read More

Abstract: Targeting the frequency of a vibrating source efficiently is the main aim of this research. Also, using an intelligent optimization methodology to improve the power output per unit volume of the harvester is considered. Two case studies of engine vibration and car suspension energy harvesting were i...     Read More

Abstract: There is a new trend to allow uplift in structures to have maximum energy dissipation during strong ground motion. This aspect needs to be studied in detail, particularly in three dimensional structures. To start with, a prototype 3D structure is considered. In this work, a relationship is developed...     Read More

Abstract: Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been successfully being used to predict the river flow for rainfall-runoff process. The important question including how long the forecasting time step should be, which rainfall stations should be selected, which discharge and rainfall data at different time...     Read More

Abstract: Deep excavations are becoming quite common in urban areas due to limited spaces and construction of multi-story buildings, burrows and underground storage spaces. Such excavations require special consideration due to the nearby constructions and structures. Construction work requires ground excavati...     Read More

Abstract: In today's fast moving world, trend of plug and play software and hardware is increasing and since the cloud is taking over the market there is high usage bandwidth consuming applications and hardware since loud is on internet and gets the applications or hardware connected real time plus having t...     Read More

Abstract: In this study a novel non-planar dual split ring resonator (DSRR) has been proposed to achieve high sensitivity and produce variable resonant frequencies and quality factors. This has been achieved by varying distance between two conventional split ring resonators (SRRs). Four different materia...     Read More

Abstract: The failures of different categories of roads are predominant in huge developing countries like India. As a result of improved connectivity the traffic is increasing on existing roads, so need of evaluation arises to provide a safe and smooth riding. Falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and Benkel...     Read More

Abstract: Purpose: We investigate whether compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is associated with earnings reporting quality of financial firms operating in Ghana. Our paper is based on the premise that complying with International Financial Reporting Standards reflects the combi...     Read More

Abstract: Big Data and Cloud Computing are two major concepts which have been constantly growing since their emergence. Big data is generated in enormous scales daily in online activities, which are used in analytics related to many fields of study such as banking, healthcare, chemistry, data mining, fin...     Read More
