Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSchedule Planning for Repairing Power Supply SystemKuo-Wei Lin, Chein-Jen KangProblem statement: Taiwan is located in the tropical ocean areas. The strong typhoon in summer often causes the collapse of electric transmission towers and results in power outages that seriously affect people’s lives and industrial production. Approach: In light of this situation, this study aims to employ project management techniques of Theory of Constraints (TOC) to develop a practical TOC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordApplication of Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques for Solar RadiationW. A. Rahoma, U. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The prediction is very useful in solar energy applications because it permits to estimate solar data for locations where measurements are not available. The developed artificial intelligence models predict the solar radiation time series more effectively compared to the conventional procedures based on the clearness index. Approach: The forecasting ability of some models could be further enhanced with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 11 Aug 2011 · 7,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordResearch in the Improvement of Wettability of Micro-Structure in Patterned ElectrodepositionLi Guangyang, Wang Hong, Yuan Yang et al.Problem statement: The high aspect-ratio electrodeposition was widely used in the manufacture of non-silicon MEMS devices. The wetting of high aspect-ratio micro-structure in electrolyte was important to the uniformity of micro-structure. Approach: In this study, to enhance the wettability of micro-structures in electrolyte, the effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and O2 plasma surface modification were discussed.

ShabriProblem statement: Forecasting is a function in management to assist decision making. It is also described as the process of estimation in unknown future situations. In a more general term it is commonly known as prediction which refers to estimation of time series or longitudinal type data. Gold is a precious yellow commodity once used as money. It was made … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 11,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Computational Optimized Extended Model for Mineral Potential Mapping Based on WofE MethodZiaii Mansour, Pouyan Ali, Ziaei MahdiThe multivariate fuzzy-c-means classifier is used to model extended weight of evidence (WofE) considering predictor maps. Approaches to mineral potential mapping based on WofE modeling generally use binary maps, whereas, real-world geospatial data are mostly multi-class or fuzzy-class in nature. The consequent reclassification of fuzzy-class maps into binary maps is a simplification that might result in a loss of information. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComputation of a Single-phase Shell-Type Transformer Windings Forces Caused by Inrush and Short-circuit CurrentsM. B.B. Sharifian, R. Esmaeilzadeh, M. Farrokhifar et al.This research studies the forces on the windings of transformer due to inrush current. These forces are compared with the corresponding forces due to short-circuit of the windings. Two-dimensional finite element computation of a single-phase shell-type transformer is carried out based on the maximum permissible inrush current value where its amplitude is the same as the rated short-circuit current.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Applicability of the Short-run Phillips curve to NamibiaCyril A. OgbokorIn this research, we invoke linear and logarithmic regression models to empirically test the validity of the Short-run Phillips curve for Namibia by relying on macroeconomic time-series data running from 1991 to 2005.Our results offer some support for the presence of the phenomenon of stagflation in Namibia. This is rather contradictory to the underlying philosophy of the original Phillips curve. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
