Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Criterion for Determining the Ultimate Pullout Capacity of Plate Anchors in Clay by Numerical AnalysisHaixiao Liu, Fangmei Su, Zhou LiThe Ultimate Pullout Capacity (UPC) is an important index in designing and analyzing plate anchors. However, there are still uncertainties in determining the UPC through the load-displacement curves calculated from numerical analysis. The review on the existing criteria for determining the UPC also demonstrates that there has not been a generally accepted criterion and most existing criteria are not only … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2015 · 8,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCING ASPHALT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR AND AGING SUSCEPTIBILITY USING BIO-CHAR AND NANO-CLAYRenaldo C. Walters, Elham H. Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of UV rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in deterioration of asphalt rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This study investigates the impact of bio-char and nano-clay of asphalt rheological properties. Two nano scale materials were used for this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2014 · 10,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractADAPTIVE I/O SWITCHING FOR SEAMLESS CONVERGENCE OF SMART PHONES AND EXTERNAL I/O DEVICESOh-Chul Kwon, Jusung Kim, Chang-Gun LeeTo be small and easy to carry, mobile devices cannot be equipped with large and highly capable input/output devices. In order to overcome these limitations, this study proposes adaptive I/O switching technique as a general solution for exploiting full features of various external input/output devices in lieu of tiny input/output devices in a smartphone. Unlike existing physical-layer connection based solutions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 21 Feb 2014 · 6,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification Model for Hotspot Occurrences Using Spatial Decision Tree AlgorithmImas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Razali Yaakob, Norwati Mustapha, A. N. AinuddinDeveloping a predictive model for forest fires occurrence is an important activity in a fire prevention program. The model describes characteristics of areas where fires occur based on past fires data. It is essential as an early warning system for preventing forest fires, thus major damages because of fires can be avoided. This study describes the application of data mining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2013 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Alloy 2024 Reinforced with Silicon Carbide and Fly Ash Hybrid Metal Matrix CompositesM. Mahendra Boopathi, K.P. Arulshri, N. IyanduraiMaterials are frequently chosen for structural applications because they have desirable combinations of mechanical characteristics. Development of hybrid metal matrix composites has become an important area of research interest in Materials Science. In view of this, the present study focuses on the formation of aluminium-Sic-fly ash hybrid metal matrix composites. The present study was aimed at evaluating the physical properties … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 Mar 2013 · 28,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Automatic IncubatorSiriluk Sansomboonsuk, Chagorn Phonhan, Girati PhonhanThe designing of an automatic incubator consists of three main parts. The first part is a mathematical model of an incubator. Thermo-physical properties of selected materials were substituted to investigate its heat transfer characteristics. The second part is the consideration of equipment used to measure and control temperature and humidity. The last part is to select the controller for an … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 14,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransient Response of a Novel Displacement Transducer for Magnetic Levitation SystemMrunal Deshpande, Badrilal MathurProblem statement: In magnetic levitation system, position sensors are used to obtain a voltage proportional to the position of the suspended object. This is an essential feedback signal for stabilizing the system. These sensors make the system clumsy and prone to failures. To eliminate any physical attachment on the levitated object for the purpose of measuring its displacement, a novel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsumer Satisfaction with Public Health Care in ChinaLinghui Jiang, Christopher Gan, Betty Kao et al.Problem statement: Consumer satisfaction is regarded as one of the ultimate goals that all health system should strive for (Hsiao, 2003), it reflects the effectiveness of the health system in consumers’ prospect. Yet public health care services in developing countries including Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) have failed to achieve adequate level of services. China, for example, satisfaction of public health … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Prototype Two-Axis Laser Scanning System used in Stereolithography Apparatus with New Algorithms for Computerized Model SlicingM. Habibi, H. Shahmohammadi, V. Taraghi et al.Problem statement: A successful operation of rapid prototyping process depends on software and hardware which are used in RP machines. About software, an efficient technique is required to slice the CAD model. Several slicing methods are used for slicing from Standard Triangulation Language (STL) files, such as direct slicing and adaptive slicing. Using these methods reduce accuracy of physical part … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Changes of Some Electrolytes after Two Months ActivityM. J. Pourvaghar, A. R. ShahsavarSome investigators have speculated that sodium chloride losses in sweat associated with net dehydration may lead to the observed hyponatremia after prolong strenuous exercise. The effects of altered hydration can influence athletes cognitively in addition to physically. In this research, rest alterations of sodium and potassium of blood serum have been investigated. The subjects were male students who have been … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,937 accessesView PDFCite
