Decision-makers usually apply their personal judgement, experience, and intuition for the quantification of the intensity of a probable risk event in the first stages of analyzing risks. However, the fluctuation observed by many researchers in the risk rating scales that differs from one individual to another is a substantial drawback of the qualitative risk assessment process where some driven factors may have influence the ratings. Hence, in this research the effects of two factors such as decision-makers’ attitudes towards a potential risk event and their assumptions about its controllability during the qualitative risk assessment process in international construction projects are studied through a questionnaire survey. In this survey, 74 professionals and 7 academics from the Turkish construction industry have participated. Two hypotheses are tested for their validity, confirming that risk attitude and assumption about risk controllability are the two critical factors that may have influence on the the risk ratings of the individual decision-makers. http://ijaers.com/detail/risk-attitude-and-risk-controllability-their-implications-on-the-subjective-quantification-of-risk-in-international-construction-projects/ Ehsanullah Hayat http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/6 IJAERS-OCT-2017-4-Risk Attitude and Risk Controllability.pdf Rice is a very important food in the world, a staple food for more than half of the world's population, especially Asia.

The constructs of this paper are based on a comprehensive review of recent literature on value management, asset management and asset life cycle costing. A detailed discussion revealed effects activities on asset acquisition, asset maintenance and asset disposal. Several risks also have been identified. Implementing good asset management system will give value to an organization. It considers and optimizes the conflicting priorities of asset utilization and asset care, of short-term performance opportunities and long-term sustainability, and between capital investments and subsequent operating costs, risk and performance. “Life cycle” asset management is also more than simply the consideration of capital costs and operating costs over pre-determined asset “life” assumptions. Truly optimized, whole life asset management include risk exposures and performance attributes, and considers the asset’s economic life as the result of an optimization process (depending upon the design, utilization, maintenance, obsolescence and other factors). In summary, this paper highlights the importance of Asset life cycle activities toward operational performance of PBJV Company, as well as reviews the latest literature from the perspective of value and asset management. http://ijaers.com/detail/value-management-implementation-of-asset-life-cycle-in-one-of-oil-and-gas-service-company/ Mohd Rizman Md Ghazali, Herman Shah Anuar http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/12 IJAERS-OCT-2017-29-Value Management.pdf This paper presents a proposed control scheme that makes the combination of a kinematic controller (KC) and an integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) for a welding mobile robot (WMR) to track a desired welding path. First, a posture tracking error vector is defined and a kinematic controller is designed based on kinematic modeling to make the tracking error vector go to zero asymptotically. Second, a sliding surface vector is defined based on the velocity tracking error vector and its integral term. And then, an integral sliding mode dynamic controller is designed based on developed dynamic modeling to make velocity tracking error vector also go to zero asymptotically. The above controllers are obtained by backstepping method. The stability of system is proved based on the Lyapunov stability theory. To implement the designed tracking controller, a control system is developed based on DSP F28355 and ATmega328. A scheme for measuring the posture tracking error vector using torch sensor is presented. The simulation and experiment results are shown to illustrate effectiveness and the applicability to the welding industry field of the proposed controller. http://ijaers.com/detail/design-and-implementation-of-welding-mobile-robot-using-a-proposed-control-scheme-based-on-its-developed-dynamic-modeling-for-tracking-desired-welding-trajectory/ Nguyen Hung, Ho Dac Loc http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/13 IJAERS-OCT-2017-17-Design and Implementation of Welding.pdf The carrot (Daucus carota) is a biennial plant whose pivoting root plays a major role in feeding populations worldwide. Few studies have been carried out on the characterization of the agromorphological diversity of this species. Varieties were collected, in order to assess their agromorphological performances under the ecological conditions of Korhogo. The Amazonia, Pamela+, Bahia and Madona varieties were evaluated. The Amazonia variety, which is the most cultivated in the Korhogo region, was used as a control. The study was carried out using a completely randomized Fisher block system, comprising 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. The blocks were separated by a distance of 80 cm. In the same block, the elementary plots were spaced 50 cm apart. Each elementary plot consists of 6 seeding lines, spaced 25 cm, and comprising 72 plants. The measurements concerned some vegetative and agronomic characteristics. The results obtained showed that the Pamela+ variety, with a yield of 25 t/ha, was the most productive. It is also distinguished from other varieties by the length of the roots and the high number of leaves produced. The Bahia and Madona varieties showed similar characteristics and less efficient than those of the control (Amazonia). On the basis of the characteristics evaluated, the Pamela+ variety was the most efficient and adapted to the agroecological conditions of the Korhogo region.

Faults were picked using instantaneous phase attribute of seismic section across 3D seismic volume of the studied reflectors. The study area affected by a major fault and minor normal faults, Two faults system has been observed in the study area; the major normal fault of (NW-SE) trending and minor normal faults of (NE-SW) trending, with a small displacement are influenced the studied reflectors. The time slices were studied across 3D seismic volume of the studied reflector, they proved the presence the structural anticline at lower cretaceous reflection level. Time, velocity and depth maps are prepared depending on the structural interpretation of the picked reflectors, the structural interpretation of these reflectors shows a structural anticline extending in NW-SE trend and plunges to the south east, and the general dip towards the east. Using seismic attribute techniques including (instantaneous frequency, RMS amplitude maps and reflection strength section), these attributes showed decreasing in frequency, amplitude and strength values. These reflect rocks of low velocity and indicate the presence of hydrocarbon accumulation area. The study of seismic facies of the picked reflectors distinction parallel seismic configuration. The results shows the Zubair and NahrUmrfacies are clastic depositional system deposited on delta platform, Zubair represents delta platform facies consisting of shallow- water, high-energy marine (delta sandstone, channel-fill sandstones).Pinch out are picked and interpreted by using cosine instantaneous phase attributes, these phenomena can be regarded as Pinch out stratigraphical traps. It’s the main factor to explain the difference in thickness of the oil column between well Kf-4 and well Kf-1. Mound and Flat spot phenomenon has been observed within Zubair reflector by using the seismic composite attributes (Band bass filter on an instantaneousphase attributes, as mound stratigraphic traps and flat spot which is represent of Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHI) that refers to the presence of hydrocarbons. Where the use of this techniques has helped to identify the (DHI) for hydrocarbon accumulation and have not been previously identified.Finally 3D seismic model for Kifl field show the extension of structural anticline and its plunge and the distribution of hydrocarbons accumulations in the Kifl field. http://ijaers.com/detail/structural-and-stratigraphic-3d-seismic-study-of-nahrumr-and-zubair-formations-in-kifl-oil-field-center-of-iraq/ Nawal Abed Al-Ridha, Ghazi H AL-Sharaa, Zainab Bassim Hassan http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/29 IJAERS-OCT-2017-26-1-Structural and Stratigraphic.pdf Gossypiboma, term derived from the latin ‘gossypium’ (cotton) and the swahilli ‘boma’ (place of concealment) is the term form retained surgical sponge. Two usual responses to retained mops are exudative inflammatory reaction to develop a mass. Intraluminal migration is rare, leading to obstruction. Patient may develop symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and weight loss resulting from obstruction or a malabsorption syndrome caused by multiple intestinal fistulas or intraluminal bacterial overgrowth. Early recognition of this entity will ensure prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment, reducing morbidity and mortality in such patients. http://ijaers.com/detail/exploratory-laparotomy-for-encapsulated-gossypiboma-a-rare-case/ Leandro Jaime Barreto Costa, Mário Gissoni de Carvalho, Mário Gissoni de Carvalho Júnior http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/30 IJAERS-OCT-2017-69-Exploratory.pdf
