The purpose of this study is to apply one of the decision-making methods, namely the fuzzy-TOPSIS method, to determine the best alternative of coconut fermentation in process of making Pliek-U, which is a typical powder made of coconut and is used for traditional cooking recipes by people in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The weight of fuzzy criteria an...

The fracture network in hydrocarbon reservoirs plays a major role in reservoir fluid transfer to production wells. Modeling of fracture in fractured reservoir is often done randomly. Modelling is based on image logs and core information. Because the information is available in a small number of wells, the model is not reliable and this problem make...

The rapidly depleting fossil fuel resources and stringent emission norms have given importance to research of alternative fuels, especially in relation to reduction of greenhouse gases and global warming. In the work presented, biodiesel was derived from honge oil, which is non-edible. The oxidation stability of honge oil biodiesel is low due to th...

Private section investment in the construction of transportation infrastructure, one of the most important of which is freeway projects, has been extensively used in developing countries in recent decades. However, in many cases due to the lack of necessary investigations and studies, the criteria have not been properly identified and, as a result,...

When talking about land cover, we need to find a proper way to extract information from aerial or satellite images. In the field of photogrammetry, aerial images are generally acquired by optical sensors that deliver images in four bands (red, green, blue and near-infrared). Recent researches in this field demonstrated that for the image classifica...

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of cross-section and slenderness on the dynamic response of high-rise buildings constructed on the coarse soil. In this work, the simulation of the wind and soil effects on the high-rise buildings are done numerically using the ABAQUS software. The wind-induced vibration of the building models is s...

The aim of this work is to optimize the mixing ratio for production of particleboard (PB) from groundnut shell and rice husk. This research is focused on optimization approach for turning the agricultural waste into quality value-added composite PB for sustainable development. Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the effect of three process vari...

In the last 15 years, mapping technology has become a necessity in smart cities planning. And 2D are starting to be augmented by 3D maps. 3D Maps are already used in the cartographic field, to create a three-dimensional view of the terrain and buildings. In this paper we address the concept of 3D Maps and we compare two methods to generate such map...

The paper presents the results of experimental investigations and numerical analyses performed on reinforced concrete flat slabs. Two tests were carried out on two flat slab specimens designed without specific shear reinforcement. The present paper deals only with the experimental behaviour and numerical modelling of such slabs, this representing t...

This research concerns about the development and application of Variable Parameter Kinematic Wave Numerical model (VPKWM) based on 1-D Saint-Venant equation, to study the behaviour of the propagation of a flood wave in Non-prismatic natural waterways in an ungauged basin. The channel slope and wetted perimeter are considered as variable because of ...
