Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Ultra-Miniaturized Inertial Measurement Unit for Jaw Movement Analysis during Free ChewingZhuohua Lin, Massimiliano Zecca, Salvatore Sessa et al.Problem statement: Jaw movement analysis, as a clinical aid, can provide an objective basis for understanding and diagnosing jaw musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, the use and development of devices for quantitatively measuring and analyzing jaw movement have become more common and popular in the clinic. Many types of jaw tracking devices have been developed, but most of them are still not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlkali Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cattails from Constructed WetlandsBo Zhang, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang et al.Problem statement: To date, production of liquid fuel, particularly ethanol, has only been economically feasible from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. However, the use of arable land for fuel rather than for food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than as food have created issues in prices and availability of traditional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Back Propagation Neural Networks for Grading Jatropha curcas Fruits MaturityZ. Effendi, R. Ramli, J. A. GhaniProblem statement: Jatropha curcas has the potential to become one of the world’s key energy crops. Crude vegetable oil, extracted from the seeds of the Jatropha plant, can be refined into high quality biodiesel. Traditional identification of Jatropha curcas fruits is performed by human experts. The Jatropha curcas fruit quality depends on type and size of defects as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Temperature and Acid Concentration on Corrosion of Low Carbon Steel in Hydrochloric Acid MediaAnees A. Khadom, Aprael S. Yaro, Abdul Amir H. Kadum et al.Problem statement: The effect of different temperatures and acid concentrations on the corrosion of low carbon steel in hydrochloric acid were addressed in this study. Approach: The effect of temperature was explained by application of Arrhenius equation and transition state theory, while the acid concentration effect was explained using reaction kinetic equations. The combined effect of temperature and acid concentration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 11,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimultaneous Presence of Growth and Remodeling in the Bone Adaptation TheorySeyyed Amir Hooshiar Ahmedi, Gholamreza Rouhi, Hamidreza Katouzian, Seyyed Ali Hooshiar AhmediMechanical forces acting on bone during growth affect their final shape and strength. Mechanoregulation of bone growth is maybe recognized in embryogenesis, and also in the adaptation of the adult skeleton to changes in mechanical loading. By combining equations describing bone remodeling and growth with an iterative finite element analysis, a computational model to simulate the simultaneous effects of bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of the Moving Boundary Problem During Melting Process in a Rectangular Cavity Heated from BelowY. Jellouli, R. Chouikh, A. Guizani, A. BelghithWe present an analysis of the melting process in Phase Change Materials (PCM) in a horizontal cavity heated from below, driven by the coupling of transient heat conduction in the solid phase and steady state laminar natural convection in the liquid phase with one of the boundaries of the solution domain that moves. We state the problem in the Cartesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotocurrent and Photoluminescence Investigations of GaInNAs and GaInNAs(Sb) Quantum Wells Grown by Molecular Beam EpitaxyS. Ben Bouzid, F. Bousbih, A Hamdouni et al.We have investigated photocurrent (PC) and photoluminescence (PL) in sequentially grown GaInNAs/GaAs and GaInNAs(Sb)/GaAsSbN quantum wells. Photocurrent transitions are analyzed by theoretical calculations using envelope function formalism taking into account the strain effect and the strong coupling between nitrogen localized state and the GaInAs band gap. The results are consistent with a type I band alignment and a conduction band … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSomething about the Mechanical Moment of InertiaFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Aversa Raffaella et al.In this study, the relations to determining mass moments of inertia (mechanical) for different mass and mechanical inertia corresponding to geometric shapes, objects and profiles are explored. The formulas for calculating the mass moments of inertia (mechanical) for various bodies (various geometrical forms), to certain major axis indicated (as the axis of calculation) are presented. The total mass M of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2016 · 11,376 accessesView PDFCite
