Volume 1, Issue 11 - 3 Articles
This research issue presents groundbreaking studies that transcend disciplinary boundaries to address multifaceted challenges. One paper offers an innovative approach integrating psychological and contextual factors to better understand human behavior within built environments through virtual reality experiments. Another develops a cost-effective, portable device leveraging machine learning for early cardiovascular disease detection and monitoring in underserved areas. The third proposes novel techniques incorporating recycled materials and rejuvenating agents to enhance the durability and sustainability of asphalt mixtures. These diverse works collectively exemplify the power of interdisciplinary inquiry to generate valuable insights. By seamlessly blending methodologies from various fields, these studies yield practical solutions with far-reaching impacts on improving the human experience, healthcare access, and environmental conservation efforts.

Using Interaction Geography to Explore Building Occupant Behaviors in Virtual Reality: A Pilot Study
by Hoa Vo and Peter Huesemann-Odom
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 11, Page # 1-7, 2022; DOI: 10.55708/js0111001
Abstract: The sole focus of current occupant behavior research on environmental and contextual factors (i.e., physical attributes) in buildings is a missed opportunity. Psychological, physiological, social, time, and random factors also influence building occupants. In this pilot study (n=10), the authors used Interaction Geography to capture human movements across space and time in a Virtual Reality… Read More

Real-Time Acquisition and Classification of Electrocardiogram Signal
by Sheikh Md. Rabiul Islam, Akram Hossain and Asif Abdullah
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 11, Page # 8-15, 2022; DOI: 10.55708/js0111002
Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death. The transition in cardiovascular disease threatens the economies of the less developed world. An electrocardiogram (ECG) machine is a device that checks the patient's heart rhythm and electrical activity. ECG signals give crucial information about the heart and numerous cardiac problems, such as coronary artery disease,… Read More

Enhancing the Contribution of Recycled Asphalt Shingles to Asphalt Binders Using Rejuvenators
by Eslam Deef-Allah and Magdy Abdelrahman
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 11, Page # 16-33, 2022; DOI: 10.55708/js0111003
Abstract: Recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) have been a valuable recycled component in asphalt mixes for decades. However, research into how the aged and oxidized air-blown RAS binder interacts with the neat asphalt binders in asphalt mixtures is underway. Furthermore, due to the stiffness of RAS binders, RAS-containing asphalt mixtures are prone to significant cracking, particularly at… Read More
