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 · 7,352 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 · 7,935 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Design Strategy for Volumetric Efficiency Improvement in a Multi-cylinder Stationary Diesel Engine and its Validity under Transient Engine OperationP. Seenikannan, V.M. Periasamy, P. NagarajThis paper proposes an approach to improve engine performance of volumetric efficiency of a multi cylinder diesel engine. A computer simulation model is used to compare volumetric efficiency with instantaneous values. A baseline engine model is first correlated with measured volumetric efficiency data to establish confidence in the engine model's predictions. A derivative of the baseline model with exhaust manifold, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
