Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis of Power Uprate in Nuclear Power PlantsAlejandro Nuñez-Carrera, Ana Lidia Carreño-Padilla, Erick Gilberto Espinosa-Martínez, Raúl Camargo-CamargoThe three main strategies used by the utilities in order to obtain more benefits from the nuclear installations focused on electricity production and in order to satisfy their demand without carbon dioxide emissions are: (1) Power uprate, (2) plant life management and (3) plant life extension. Alone in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved more than 140 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2017 · 7,599 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Brief Introduction to the Bird Strike Numerical SimulationAniello Riccio, Roberta Cristiano, Salvatore SaputoBird impacts can be extremely critical events for the air transport safety. Since aircraft structures have become more and more complex components, the numerical prediction of the damage onset and evolution induced by a bird impact has become a very challenging task. The aim of this work is to provide a brief overview of the numerical techniques adopted for the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2016 · 8,667 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRISK-BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND RISK MINIMIZATION OF QUINAPRIL: A REVIEWAnjo Sunny, M. Arif Khan, Darpelly Mahesh et al.The purpose of this review is to give the readers an insight about the risks and benefits of ’quinapril’, a potent Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI). Quinapril is a highly effective novel drug indicated for treatment of congestive heart failure and hypertension. Despite of the fact that safety profile is quite well with low incidence of adverse effects, an attempt … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of a Dual-Purpose Chemical Applicator for Paddy FieldsMohammed Shu’aibu Abubakar, Desa Ahmad, Othman Jamarei et al.Problem statement: One of the major problems of rice production is the shortage of labor resulting from migration from rural to urban areas, making it very difficult to meet peak demands for paddy production. In most developing countries of Southeast Asia, agricultural mechanization of paddy field operation is mostly carried out using conventional machines. For example in rice production powerintensive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,542 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntegration of Comfort into a Driver's Car Seat Design Using Image AnalysisDarliana Mohamad, Baba Md Deros, Dzuraidah Abdul Wahab et al.Problem statement: The purposes of this study are twofold: First, to recommend a range of angles for driving posture comfort from measurement of participants and second, to investigate the relationships between drivers' anthropometric characteristics, comfortable postural angles and seat adjustment. Approach: Forty five participants were involved in the study. Both anthropometric data and postural angles were measured and recorded by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,831 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA New Engineering Method for Fuzzy Reliability Analysis of Surge Control in Centrifugal CompressorAhmed Hafaifa, Ferhat Laaouad, Moulod GuemanaProblem statement: The surge phenomenon in the centrifugal compressor, the non-linearities and uncertainties of the compression system make it impossible to use a conventional controller over a wide range of operation. Approach: A new dual fuzzy controller for nonlinear model of compression system was proposed in this study. This fuzzy controller was designed that consisted of active surge control and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,224 accessesView PDF Cite
