Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormation of Tl-1212 Phase in CR Substituted (Tl1-xCrx) Sr2CaCu2O7 SuperconductorRanjbar G.M., R. Abd-ShulorSuperconducting samples of (Tl1-xCrx) Sr2CaCu2O7 for x = 0.0-0.7 have been prepared by a solid state reaction technique at normal pressure using high purity elements. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns have been studied for samples. All samples showed the Tl-1212 as the major phase and Tl-1201 as the minor phase. The superconducting transition temperature Tc has been determined from the … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 20 May 2013 · 6,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Prognostic Paradigm for Petrochemical Pipelines Subject to FatigueAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilThe most important aim for industrialists is the prevention and the evaluation of their products state since non-predicted failure is very expensive in some cases. This can be done mainly by the evaluation of the &#34Remaining Useful Lifetime&#34 (RUL) by the means of prognostic approaches compensating the inconveniences of classical maintenance strategies. A proposed analytic prognostic methodology based on damage … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2013 · 7,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Rutting Depth in Flexible Pavements by Using Finite Element Analysis and Local Empirical ModelAlaa H. Abed, Adel A. Al-AzzawiThe objective of this research is to predict rut depth in local flexible pavements. Predication model in pavement performance is the process that used to estimate the parameter values which related to pavement structure, environmental condition and traffic loading. The different local empirical models have been used to calculate permanent deformation which include environmental and traffic conditions. Finite element analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Recovery of Upper Limb Post-Stroke: Mental Practice with Motor and Non-Motor ImageryAline Furtado Bastos, Beatriz Cantanhede Carrapatoso, Marco Orsini et al.Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of post-stroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 9,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarly Age Thermal Conditioning Improves Broiler Chick's Response to Acute Heat Stress at Marketing AgeAhmed M. Hassan, P. Gopal ReddyProblem statement: Acute heat stress at marketing age especially in broiler chickens raised in open houses with reduced means of heat exchange leads to economic losses. The objective of this study was to determine beneficial effects of early age thermal conditioning in reducing adverse effects of acute heat stress and decrease losses. Approach: Ninety one day-old broiler chicks were randomly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 8,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Positional Awareness in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of increased physiological arousal on the ability to perceive upper extremity positional awareness in healthy young adults. Approach: Thirty-eight participants were pre- and post-tested for upper extremity positional awareness using a manual kinesthesiometer. Participants in the experimental group underwent a combination of the Stroop color-word task and timed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiovascular Disease Risk Factors among Adult Australian-Lebanese in MelbourneLina Shahwan-AklThis descriptive exploratory study reports on the prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk factors among adult Australian-Lebanese migrants living in Melbourne. This study fills a gap in extant research regarding CVD risk factors within this ethnic community in Melbourne. Problem statement: Australia’s multicultural society consists of more than 200 ethnic groups and nearly a quarter of the Australian population are … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 15,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn-Cylinder Heat Transfer Characteristics of Hydrogen Fueled Engine: A Steady State ApproachM. M. Rahman, Khalaf I. Hamada, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents in-cylinder heat transfer characteristics of a single cylinder port injection Hydrogen fueled Internal Combustion Engine (H2ICE) using a steady state approach. Problem statement: The differences in characteristics between hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels are led to the difference in the behavior of physical processes during engine cycle. One of these processes is the in-cylinder heat transfer. Approach: One … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
