There is an import and urgent need to develop an efficient way to reduce the pollution of animal waste while extracting valuable energy. Supercritical liquefaction processing of swine manure into a liquid fuel was considered as a cost-effective approach … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Temperature Level to Enhance Worker Performance in Automotive IndustryA. R. Ismail, M. Y.M. Yusof, N. K. Makhtar et al.Problem statement: Production of automotive parts is among the largest contributor to economic earnings in Malaysia. The dominant work involve in producing automotive part were manual assembly process. Where it is definitely used a manpower capability. Thus the quality of the product heavily depends on worker’s comfort in the working condition. Temperature is one of the environmental factors that give … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Composition of Propolis from Different Regions in Java and their Cytotoxic ActivitySyamsudin, Sudjaswadi Wiryowidagdo, Partomuan Simanjuntak, Wan Lelly HeffenProblem statement: Propolis samples from tropical zones, such as Java (Indonesia) with its vast biodiversity, have become a subject of increasing scientific and economic attention. The association of the chemical composition of propolis from different geographic regions with cytotoxic activities lead to the identification of active principles, a fundamental tool to achieve standardization of this bee product. Approach: The purpose … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Reliability and Productivity of an Aluminum Extruder by Implementation of Direct Torque Control TechnologyMazouz A. SalahatProblem statement: The linear motor drive is widely used in driving an extrusion puller in an aluminum extrusion industry. The main disadvantage of this drive is manual and step-wise torque control. This research was done to replace the linear motor drive by AC drive with direct torque control technology. Approach: Mathematical calculations were carried to select an AC drive which … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPromotion of Coconut Shell Gasification by Steam Reforming on Nickel-DolomitePattaraporn Chaiprasert, Tharapong VitidsantBiomass gasification by the use of metallic nickel as active metal on dolomite support has been chosen as catalyst because of its activity in biomass steam gasification and tar reduction. The purpose of this study is to study the effects of critical parameters on product gas compositions such as temperature, steam to carbon ratio (S/C) and oxygen input. The results … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJTst- An Automated Unit Testing Tool for Java ProgramKamal Zuhairi Zamli, Nor Ashidi Mat IsaSoftware testing is an integral part of software development lifecycle. Lack of testing can often lead to disastrous consequences including lost of data, fortunes, and even lives. Despite its importance, current software testing practice lacks automation, and is still primarily based on highly manual processes from the generation of test cases up to the actual execution of the test. Although … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Engineer's Mathematical Approach to Designing an Emergency Room Decontamination Area for Weapons of Mass Destruction CasualtiesEldo E. Frezza, Erica Fletcher, Veronica Flores et al.This study will focus on the potential requirements for an emergency response facility in case of weapons of mass destruction casualties proposing mathematical models. A complete emergency room layout will be designed taking the following analyses and requirements into consideration: quality function development (QFD) and product layout; average number of patients in the system, average time in the system, average … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Coagulation Technology for Treatment of Grease Filter WashwaterAbdel E. Ghaly, A. Snow, B.E. FaberThe treatment of grease filter washwater by chemical coagulation and sedimentation using different dosages of aluminum sulfate was investigated. Pollutant removal efficiency was measured in terms of total solids, pH and optical density. The process was found to be effective at the room temperature and the filter washwater pH (9.5). The optimum aluminum sulfate dosage was 2 g/L. The treatment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring System for Uninterruptible Power SupplyS.A.Z. Murad, M.N.Md. Isa, N.A. RahmanIn industrial process today, reliability of equipment is very important. Power supply must be able to cater the need of industrial process. In case of power failure, backup power supply system must be able to support the main process plant. This is to ensure smooth operation and product quality. In order to do this, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsumer Choice Prediction: Artificial Neural Networks versus Logistic ModelsChristopher Gan, Visit Limsombunchai, Mike Clemes, Amy WengConventional econometric models, such as discriminant analysis and logistic regression have been used to predict consumer choice. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying artificial neural networks (ANN) to analyse consumer behaviour and to model the consumer decision-making process. The purpose of this paper is to empirically compare the predictive power of the probability neural … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
