In knowledge era, technology has become an added value in achieving competitive advantage. The aim of this research is … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 May 2011 · 8,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Object Oriented Analysis and Design ApproachSunil Kr Pandey, G. P. Singh, Dr. Vineet KansalProblem statement: Object and component technologies, rapidly maturing branches of information technology, have been becoming pervasive elements of systems development, especially the recently popular Internet applications and thus leading to increased complexity and at the same time broader range of applications. Approach: This needs to be understood in order to maximize its benefits and applications with consistent results. However, mainstream … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 9,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Performance Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames with Various Ductility in Low Seismic ZoneN. Choopool, V. BoonyapinyoProblem statement: Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is at moderate risk for distant earthquake due to the ability of soft soil to amplify ground motion about 3-4 times although it locates in low seismic zone. In addition, before the enforcement of seismic loading for buildings in the Ministerial Law in 2007, many existing reinforced concrete buildings in Bangkok may have … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 9,499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndividual Factors and Knowledge SharingEugene Okyere-Kwakye, Khalil Md NorProblem statement: Knowledge management has been acknowledged as an important element for businesses today. While individuals within the organizations might recognize the importance of knowledge management for the success of their day to day business functions, previous literatures have shown that individuals are still reluctant to participate in knowledge management efforts especially knowledge sharing. As the behavior people show in … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2011 · 14,413 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexural Behaviors of Damaged Full-Scale Highway Bridge Girder Strengthened by External Post TensionSayan Sirimontree, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Prestressed Concrete (PC) I section girder with Reinforced Concrete (RC) topping slab has been widely applied to long span bridge girders for several years. A bridge girder is subjected to severe conditions caused by an aggressive environment and overloading. A crack can be initiated and propagate when the tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of concrete due to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensorization of Robotic Hand Using Optical Three-Axis Tactile Sensor: Evaluation with Grasping and Twisting MotionsHanafiah Yussof, Jiro Wada, Masahiro OhkaProblem statement: Sensitization of robot hand is still remaining as crucial issue since most of robot hand systems nowadays are only capable to grasp a predefined specific object. It is still difficult for robot hand system to realize human-like tactile sensation. Some common problems in robot hand system are low accuracy sensing device, sensors are not robust enough for long … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRehabilitation of a Human Arm Supported by a Robotic Manipulator: A Position/Force Cooperative ControlHaifa Mehdi, Olfa BoubakerProblem statement: The assistance of person with limited ability of arm movement is necessary for rehabilitation reasons. This aid is required not only to cover the human performances of the arm in motion and force but also to have a strictly stable dynamics. In this study, we proposed a cooperative system between a disabled arm and a robotic manipulator to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Permeability of Foam Conditioned Soils with Laboratory TestsLuca Borio, Daniele PeilaProblem statement: EPB tunneling requires that the excavated soil has a plastic and pulpy behavior to be able to apply a stabilizing pressure to the face, but it should also be impervious to counteract filtration forces that could develop ahead of the face. The evaluation of this parameter in granular soil, before and after conditioning, is therefore of key importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Spring Design as Return Cycle of Two Stroke Spark Ignition Linear Engine on the Combustion Process and PerformanceA. Z.M. Fathallah, R. A. BakarProblem statements: The effects of optimization on spring design of the linear engine with spring mechanism in its performance and combustion process have been examined. However, at certain conditions the engine can not work properly as predicted. This can happen because displacement of engine stroke is depending on thrust forces of combustion process in cylinder of the engine. For that, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Novel Disk-type Furrow Opener Used in No-Tillage System on Micro Environment of SeedE. Seidi, S.H. Abdollahpour, A. Javadi, M. MoghaddamProblem Statement: Offset Double-Disk Opener (DDO) is a popular furrow opener in conservation tillage. It has some limitations such as negative suction to penetrate in the soil, hair pinning and mixing seed and fertilizer in the slot. Because of importance of separation of seed and fertilizer in the slot, by adding two horizontal mini disks to DDO a modified opener … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,158 accessesView PDFCite
