Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Functional Analysis of Kurdish Courtyard Houses in Erbil CityFaris Ali Mustafa, Ahmad Sanusi HassanProblem statement: This study was to analyze the concept of spatial-function in courtyard house layout and its influence to the cultural and social activities. Themes such as integration, segregation, accessibility and zoning of the building space layout are required to be deliberated, in order to achieve further understanding about the Kurdish social and cultural benchmarks (norms) that might have affected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Controller Design of an Electro-Hydraulic Actuator SystemM. F. Rahmat, S. Md. Rozali, N. Abdul Wahab et al.Problem statement: Electro-hydraulic actuators are widely used in motion control application. Its valve needs to be controlled to determine direction of the motion. Mathematical modeling is a description of a system in terms of equations. It can be divided into two parts; physical modeling and system identification. The objective of this study was to obtain mathematical model of an electro-hydraulic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 11,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSteel Piling Corrosion Management of Al-Zubare HarborMohammed H. Hafiz, Hemin M. MohyaldeenProblem statement: Damage due to corrosion is a significant problem worldwide. Countries around the world have estimated that the cost of corrosion to their national economies to be 3-4% of their gross national product. Approach: Design and implementation a new steel piling of the Corrosion Management Program (CMP) in Al-Zubare harbor. Corrosion management algorithm can be divided into three major … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Enhancing Urea-Humic Acid Mixture with Refined Acid Sulphate SoilMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Acid Sulphate Soil (ASS) is a problem soil partly because of its high acidity. This low pH could be exploited to reduce ammonia loss from urea by reducing soil microsite pH. The use Humic Acid (HA) to control ammonia loss from urea has been reported but the cost of this material is high. This laboratory study compared the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing Urea with Humic Acid and Acid Sulphate Soil on Ammonia Loss, Exchangeable Ammonium and Available NitrateMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab MajidProblem statement: Ammonia loss due to rapid hydrolysis of urea in soil following surface application can be substantial. Ammonia loss in agriculture is estimated to be 1 to 60%. This laboratory study compared the effect of three different urea-humic acid-acid sulphate soil mixtures on NH3 loss and soil ammonium and nitrate contents, with loss from surface applied urea without additives … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting Agricultural Land Fragmentation in Iran: A Case Study of Ramjerd Sub District in Fars ProvinceKhalil Kalantari, Gholamhossein AbdollahzadehThe objective of this study was to examine the factors influencing fragmentation of landholdings commonly regarded as a major obstacle to agricultural development in Iran. A sample of farmers was selected and household and village-level data from 12 villages of Ramjerd sub district in Fars province were used to test these factors empirically. Required data were collected by questionnaire from … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of an Adaptive Control for a RobotIraj Hassanzadeh, Abbas Harifi, Farid ArvaniThis research investigates the performance of an adaptive controller for five-bar linkage robot. The proposed controller was entirely independent on the physical specifications of the robot. The controller was examined as the dynamics of the mechanical system varies for various environment conditions, which make it an ambiguous system. In this study, the introduced controller was designed based on the governing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 6,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligent Control for Self-erecting Inverted Pendulum Via Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference SystemA. A. Saifizul, Z. Zainon, N. A.Abu Osman et al.A self-erecting single inverted pendulum (SESIP) is one of typical nonlinear systems. The control scheme running the SESIP consists of two main control loops. Namely, these control loops are swing-up controller and stabilization controller. A swing-up controller of an inverted pendulum system must actuate the pendulum from the stable position. While a stabilization controller must stand the pendulum in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of the Smart City Architecture, Speed and Traffic Density of Vehicles on the Performances of VanetsAbdallah Rhattoy, Mohamed Lahmer, Idriss ChanaVehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) is one of the emerging and actual research fields in automotive companies and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) designers. In the Smart City the presence of such networks opens the way for a wide range of applications such as safety applications, mobility and connectivity for both driver and passengers to exploit the transport systems in a smoothly … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 15 Nov 2017 · 7,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber/Talc/CaCO3 Filled Recycled PP CompositesUğur Soy, Fehim Findik, Salih Hakan Yetgin et al.Until now, recycling studies brought to the agenda after the rapid increasing of plastic materials in every area and causing those plastics to environmental pollution after discarding them following the utilization. The purpose of recycling plastic waste is to minimize environmental pollution and to create of new resources. To perform the present study, Recycled Polypropylene Granules (RPP) belonging to Polypropylene … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2017 · 9,371 accessesView PDFCite
