Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Organoclay from Sodium Montmorillonite and Fatty Hydroxamic AcidsWisam H. Hoidy, Mansor B. Ahmad, Emad A. Jaffar Al Mulla, Nor Azowa Bt IbrahimProblem statement: Sodium Montmorillonite (Na-MMT) has been modified via cation exchange reaction using Fatty Hydroxamic Acids (FHAs) synthesized from palm oil as a surfactant to produce organoclay which is used to prepare polymer nanocomposites. Approach: Basal spacing, functional groups identification and thermal stability of this Organo-Montmorillonite (OMMT) were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 9,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectroosmotic Phenomena in Organic SoilsAfshin Asadi, Bujang B.K. Huat, M. M. Hassim et al.Organic soils or peat represent an accumulation of disintegrated plant remains which have been preserved under condition of incomplete aeration and high water content. In order to develop a fundamental understanding of electroosmotic phenomena in peat, initially microelectrophoresis studies were carried out to conceptualize the electrokinetic phenomena. Then electroosmosis experiments were conducted on rigid cube samples containing 0.0001 M NaCl-water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fast Series Active Filter using Sliding Mode Control to Correct and Regulate Unbalance Voltage in Three-Phase SystemTheerayuth ChatchanayuenyongProblem statement: A Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) with fast reference voltage generation to correct and regulate unbalance voltage in three-phase system was proposed. Approach: The compensation algorithm was not based on three-symmetrical component decomposition so the controller can yield a fast response that was essential in such a critical real time control work. The reference voltages were fed to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Embeddings of Hamiltonian Paths and Cycles in Extended Fibonacci CubesIoana Zelina, Grigor Moldovan, Ioana TascuThe interconnection network is an essential component of a distributed system or of a supercomputer based on large-sale parallel processing. Because in distributed systems the communication between processors is based on message exchange, the network topology is of a great importance. The interconnection network can be seen as a graph and the properties of a network can be studied using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Fast Computing Method for Framelet CoefficientsHadeel N. Al-TaaiThe relatively new field of framelets shows promise in removing some of the limitations of wavelets. Several applications have benefited from the use of frames, for example, denoising and signal coding. In this research, Fast 1D-2D Framlet Transform algorithm for computing advance transforms are proposed. For a 2D framelet transformation, the algorithm is applied in x-direction first and then in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Photooxidation Pathways of Dicarboxylic Acids in Atmospheric DropletsL.M. Yang, L.E. Yu, M.B. RayLow molecular weight (LMW) dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) have received increasing attention because of their hygroscopic properties and capability of acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Based on the concentration profiles of intermediates identified during laboratory photooxidation of C7-C9 DCAs in a liquid-phase reaction system, chemometric analyses were conducted to examine the degradation pathways of DCAs for the formation of secondary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Improvement Using a Sliding Mode Control of a Series Active FilterTheerayuth ChatchanayuenyongA sliding mode controller (SMC) for a three-phase series active filter was proposed to compensate voltage unbalances, suppress voltage sags and swells and hence improve the power quality of a three-phase ac system. The voltage unbalance compensation and regulation is only based on the positive sequence component decomposition of the supply voltage that is then adjusted to a rated value … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHomotopy Perturbation Method and Variational Iteration Method for Solving Zakharov-Kuznetsov EquationB. Ganjavi, H. Mohammadi, D.D. Ganji, A. BarariThis article investigates a nonlinear dispersive Zakharov-Kuznetsov ZK (3, 3, 3) equation. This equation governs the behavior of weakly nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in plasma comprising cold ions and hot isothermal electrons in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and Variational Iteration Method (VIM) are implemented for solving the ZK equation. Homotopy results were compared with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Recognition Using Combination of Discrete Multi_Wavelet and Wavenet TransformDr Mikhled AlfaouriFocus of the method was to present image identification and labeling using new combination of dynamic transforms. This method is based on using the combination of the Discrete Multi-wavelet Transform (DMWT) and Wavenet Transform (WN). In this method, the resulting coefficients were computed by the proposed multi-wavelets transform for single-level decomposition. The low pass sub bands of the upper left … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemory Convergence and Optimization with Fuzzy PSO and ACSSubhash C. Pandey, Dr. P. MisraAssociative neural memories are models of biological phenomena that allow for the storage of pattern associations and the retrieval of the desired output pattern upon presentation of a possibly noisy or incomplete version of an input pattern. In this study, we introduce fuzzy swarm particle optimization technique for convergence of associative neural memories based on fuzzy set theory.
