Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability-Based Earthquake Design of Jacket-Type Offshore Platforms Considering Pile-Soil-Structure InteractionBehrouz Asgarian, Hossein AgheshluiThere are plenty of uncertainties in environmental condition of ocean and also in platform element capacities. Reliability-based method could consider these uncertainties. A reliability-based earthquake design method was used to determine the earthquake LRFD parameters for two conventional, steel, pile-supported (template-type) offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. The pile-soil-structure interaction, the buckling and postbuckling behavior of the braces were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexes of 2-Thioacetic Acid Benzothiazole with Some Metal IonsEmad Yousif, Yang Farina, Khawla Kasar et al.New metal complexes of the ligand 2-thioacetic acid benzothiazole with the metal ions Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Sn(II) were prepared in alcoholic medium. The prepared complexes were characterized by FTIR Spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. From the spectral measurements, monomer structures for the complexes were proposed. Square planar geometry was proposed for the copper … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy College or University Students Hate Proofs in Mathematics?Mbaïtiga ZacharieProblem Statement: A proof is a notoriously difficult mathematical concept for students. Empirical studies have shown that students emerge from proof-oriented courses such as high-school geometry, introduction to proof, complex and abstract algebra unable to construct anything beyond very trivial proofs. Furthermore, most university students do not know what constitutes a proof and cannot determine whether a purported proof is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Modeling and Implementation of Pic Based Wireless Control System to Eliminate Blind Spots in Vehicle Side MirrorsMahmoud Z. Iskandarani, Nidal F. ShilbayehA PIC controlled IR system for the control of vehicle side mirror system movements for the purpose of revealing blind spots is designed and implemented. The designed and built system allows the side view mirrors to be adjusted based on the driver head movement. The infrared-based head tracking system maps a predetermined coordinates for head movements and results in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRACTED: On the New Branch of Mathematical Science-Part 2M. Sivasubramanian, L. Senthilkumar, K. Raghul Kumar, S. KalimuthuThe fifth Euclidean postulate problem in geometry is 2300 years old. This postulate is also known as Euclid’s parallel postulate. The great mathematicians tried their best to deduce the fifth postulate from the other four postulates. But unfortunately nobody could succeed in this geometrical battle. The studies devoted to this problem led to the origin of two non-Euclidean geometries. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrophobic, Polar and Hydrogen Bonding Based Drug-Receptor Interaction of TetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinonesV.K. Sahu, A.K.R. Khan, R.K. Singh, P.P. SinghAnti-HIV drug discovery has been increasingly focusing on HIV-1-RT (reverse transcriptase) as a potential therapeutic target. Tetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinone (TIBO) belongs to non-nucleoside group of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). A computational chemistry study has been performed on a series of tetrahydroimidazo-benzodiazepinones as HIV-1-NNRT inhibitors. Problem statement: In order to search out new drug of desired activity from the lead compounds, there was … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Shear Band using Elastic Shear Wave PropagationT. Nachiengtai, W. Chim-Oye, S. Teachavorasinskun, W. Sa-NgiamviboolLocalization in soil under high stress level is usually investigated using some indirect measures, e.g., X-ray diffraction method. In the present study, the propagation velocity of shear wave was used to detect localization in sandy soil. Firstly, the general expression to exhibit the stress and density dependencies characteristics under consolidation and triaxial testing conditions of the tested soil was proposed. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral for Radial Cracks in Annular Discs under Constant Angular Velocity and Internal PressureA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral for single and double-edge cracks in eight annular rotating discs under constant angular velocity with and without internal pressure. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power law creeping finite element analyses have been performed and the results are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Convective Heat-Transfer Coefficient in a Buried ExchangerTaoufik Mnasri, Rached Ben Younès, Maher Raddaoui, Salem ElouraginiThis study presents analytical models allowing to study a forced convection laminar flow in non-established dynamic and thermic regimes. We treated a flow in a bitubular exchanger in permanent thermal contact with a semi-infinite medium, such as the ground. The wall temperature as well as the wall heat flux evolve in the course of time until a quasi-steady mode.
