Estimating The Weights Of Latticed Power Transmission Towers Using Genetic Programming, Ahmed M. Ebid Dr. Jun 2022

Estimating The Weights Of Latticed Power Transmission Towers Using Genetic Programming, Ahmed M. Ebid Dr.

Future Engineering Journal

The recent booming in the power network industry inspired a lot of researchers to develop models to estimate the optimum cost of transmission towers. Unlike previous researches which depended on design the tower from scratch, this research depends on collecting actual database from several projects around the globe and applying the well-known (GP) technique to develop a model to predict the tower weight. The accuracy of the developed formula was about 84%. The developed model could be used in early tender stage or to check design economy.

Color In Architecture Facades "Facades' Of The Residential Building In Wadi Hadhramout-Yemen As A Case Study", Nadia A. Kandakji

Hadhramout University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences

In the 20th century, color has gained a major significance as it became an independent science that has its own scientific and applied theories, as well as its functional and aesthetic implications. This was reflected on architecture where postmodern architecture has a special color-wise rich product all over the world. In order to guarantee the positive effect of colors, there must be experience with the properties of color, since the lack of knowledge could cause a random architectural image that might be negatively received by the recipients. This paper, in its theoretical frame, presents the symbolism and mechanism of using …

Mud Architecture In Hadhramout Valley And Its Suitability To The Environment, Mishael Ahmed Sheban, Mohammed Abdellah Al-Saggaf

Hadhramout University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences

Mud architecture in Hadhramout Valley is the dominant local architecture, which has been illustrated in the construction of magnificent residential buildings and palaces at intervals of time since the settlement began in the valley. The environment in Hadhramout Valley is characterized by the availability of mud material deposited in the streams of the valley and its sub-valleys. The prevailing climate is the dry hot climate. Mud buildings confirm the suitability of clay material for construction, which has been favored by ancestors since ancient times. The physo-thermal properties of clay are different from other natural materials. Mud buildings provide adequate thermal …

Preparation Of Xylooligosaccharides From Sesame Meal With Prebiotic Properties, Mohammad Altamimi, Snigdha Guha, Robart Rastall

Hebron University Research Journal-A (Natural Sciences) - (مجلة جامعة الخليل للبحوث- أ (العلوم الطبيعيه

Defatted sesame meals were extracted for ethanol soluble sugars and the effects of different conditions for extraction were compared for the composition and yield of the extracts. Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) were generated from the hemicellulose fraction (following deproteinization) using endo-xylanase from Bacillus subtilis. The condition which produced the highest yield for total soluble sugars was 40% ethanol at 60 º C for 30 minutes for de-hulled (A) and hulled (B) sesame meal samples. Ultrasonication treatment of the samples had no significant benefit over water-bath. Sugar composition analysis of the samples showed the presence of glucose, arabinose, galactose and xylose with trace …

40 Sets Of Strong Ground Motion Records Convey All Design Response Spectrums Located In Tartous, Syria, Dr. Seraj Jdyd Jul 2021

40 Sets Of Strong Ground Motion Records Convey All Design Response Spectrums Located In Tartous, Syria, Dr. Seraj Jdyd

Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث

Selecting seismic records in Global Standards is, until now, based on matching design response spectrum, where records should have seismological characteristics similar to the expected earthquake for the considered site (magnitude, distance, fault mechanism and soil conditions). Then it is necessary to scale these records to match the intensity of the earthquake expected for the site. Generally, scaling can be made by ground motions uniform scaling in time domain to best match (in average) the target spectrum within a period range of interest. Design ground motions are typically prescribed by smooth response spectra. But it is preferred to use a …

A Shape Grammars Approach To Bvlgari’Semerald Necklaces Design Language, Youssef Elrafie, Samir S. Hosny, Mohamed Eladly, Sahar Morsy

Future Engineering Journal

For more than forty years now, shape grammars have been the interest of many researchers in many domains including Paintings and Arts, Architecture, and Product Design [March, 2011]. However, by tracing the time line of shape grammars under “Product Design”, it does not show any interest in “Antiques or Vintages” as such [Chau et al. 2004]. This paper addresses shape grammars as a style generator of Bulgari’s emerald necklace designs, being considered as a vintage that bears a specific style, character and importance as a cultural symbol.

Origins Of Computational Design In Architecture, Ossama Mohamed Al-Rawi Mar 2020

Origins Of Computational Design In Architecture, Ossama Mohamed Al-Rawi

Future Engineering Journal

The changes that the computer is bringing to architecture are one part of a revolutionary social upheaval. Tools not only change individual patterns and behaviour, but also cause transformations in institutions. Just as other tools have in the past, the computer is in the process of conditioning our understanding of the world and our perception of our place in it. The application of computers to architecture is more than anew sophisticated tool that can be manipulated like a pencil or pen. It is rather, “the culmination of the objectifying mentality of modernity and it is, therefore, inherently perspectival. The tyranny …
