Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Large Capacity Endplate Steel ConnectionsMohamed Eldemerdash, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: Extended endplate connection is one of the most widely used beam-to column steel connections because of its fabrication simplicity, good overall performance and cost effectiveness compared with other connection types. The objective of this research is to develop three-dimensional finite element models to study the behavior of large capacity eight-bolt extended un-stiffened wide endplate steel connections, using current-technology … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Jan 2012 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Bio-Fuel Blends and Fuel Injection Pressure on Diesel Engine Emission for Sustainable EnvironmentKandasamy Muralidharan, Palanisamy GovindarajanProblem statement: Diesel engine emits more pollutants to atmosphere causing air pollution. This necessitates the search of a renewable alternate fuel which is environment friendly. The objective of this research was to investigate the environmental aspects of pongamia bio-fuel in a single cylinder diesel engine with the influence of fuel injection pressure. Approach: Bio-fuel was prepared from non-edible Pongamia pinnata … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBonding Property of Bituminous Crack Sealants in the Presence of WaterEllie Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: Crack sealing and filling is the most widely used maintenance activity for in-service pavements. If an appropriate sealant material is selected and properly installed at the appropriate time of the pavement life, it retards pavement deterioration and increases its service life at a relatively low cost. However, in some cases it is reported that sealants failed prematurely, mainly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of IBS Precast Concrete Beam-Column Connections Under Earthquake Effects: A Literature ReviewPatrick Tiong Liq Yee, Azlan Bin Adnan, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Ahmad Baharuddin Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Despite demonstrating rather much benefits comparing to the conventional cast-in-place construction, the acceptance level of precast concrete building is still reportedly low in Malaysia. The implication imposed by stricter seismic design provisions would only worsen the matter. Approach: The main objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate type of beam-column connections to be introduced to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 17,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSocial and Environmental Accounting Education and Sustainability: Educators' PerspectiveNorhayah ZulkifliProblem statement: It is asserted that any attempt to account for sustainability will need to reflect the tensions which exist between conventional accounting with its record of wealth accumulation and its focus on the pursuit of profit and the demands for a just and equitable society. Consequently, the argument that the current accounting education is deficient in promoting ethical awareness, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 9,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Polypropylene-Clay Composite Using Carbon Nanotubes as Secondary FillerSalawudeen T. Olalekan, Suleyman A. Muyibi, Qasim H. Shah et al.Problem statement: Current researches have shown that the thermoplastic-clay nanocomposites have failed to live up to the earlier predictions albeit they have found some niche area of applications. This research work therefore aimed at studying the effect of carbon nanotube as secondary filler on the mechanical properties of polypropylene-clay nanocomposite. Approach: Hybrid polypropylene-clay nanocomposite was prepared in the presence of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
