Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Variations of n-6: n-3 Ratios and Fatty Acid Compositions in Foot and Tissue of Chiton lamyi in a High Primary Productivity AreaNooshin Sajjadi, Peyman Eghtesadi-Araghi, Shahla Jamili et al.Problem statement: Fatty acid content and composition in mollusks is a function of their feeding diversity. Chabahar bay located in the northern part of Oman sea in Indian ocean provides high rates of primary productivity and a diverse food source for mollusks in this area. Identification of fatty acid compositions of Chiton lamyi and study their seasonal changes in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,195 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Convergence-Confinement Method: Roles and Limits in Modern Geomechanical Tunnel DesignPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method, based on the analysis of the stress and strain state that develops in the rock around a circular tunnel, has been presented in this study with the two analytical solutions that have been most frequently used in recent years. Problem statement: Thanks to the increased power of electronic processors and the spread of numerical methods, the role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 10,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Surface Treatment on Fatigue Life of Cylinder Block for Linear Engine using Frequency Response ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.Objectives: This study was focused on the finite element techniques to investigate the effect of surface treatment on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for new two-stroke free piston engine using random loading conditions. Motivation: An understanding of the effects related to the random loading is necessary to improve the ability of designers to accurately predict the fatigue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Temperature Dependence Coefficients of Amorphous Silicon and Crystalline Photovoltaic Modules Using Malaysian Field Test InvestigationSulaiman Shaari, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Nowshad Amin, Mohd Nizan KassimThe temperature dependence coefficients of amorphous silicon and crystalline photovoltaic (PV) modules using Malaysian field data have been obtained using linear regression technique. This is achieved by studying three test stand-alone PV-battery systems using 62 Wp a-Si, 225 Wp multi-crystalline and 225 Wp mono-crystalline PV modules. These systems were designed to provide electricity for rural domestic loads at 200 W, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Torsion on Externally Prestressed Segmental Concrete Bridge with Shear KeyM. A. Algorafi, A. A.A. Ali, M. S. Jaafar et al.Externally Prestressed Segmental (EPS) concrete box sections are widely used in the construction of bridge structures today. EPS concept has become an attractive tool for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges which have insufficient strength and/or excessive deflection and cracking. Problem statement: EPS bridges are affected by combined stresses (bending, shear, normal, and torsional) at the joint interface between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Fracture Toughness of the Concrete Mortars Exposed to Elevated TemperaturesS. Djaknoun, A. Ahmed Benyahia, E. OuedraogoThe main objective of this research was the characterisation of the fracture toughness of concrete mortars exposed to high temperatures by using notched specimens in three point bending tests. The specimens have different lengths and were heated at different temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 900°C. The experimental test results obtained are closed with those reported by the literature, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Effect of Pile Skin Resistance Verses Pile Diameter Based on Experimental ResearchS. M. Marandi, M.A. KarimzadehIn spite of the many recent advances in pile design and execution methods, the quantitative effects of grouted pile skin resistance and form on subsequent pile behavior remains an area for research. There are many parameters involved in the analysis of the bearing capacity of piles and descriptive method theory of the loading effect for each parameter is very complex. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonics Phase Shifter for a Three-Phase System with Voltage Control by Integral-Cycle Triggering Mode of ThyristorsI. Badran, A.L. Mahmood, M.T. LazimIn integral-cycle triggering mode of voltage control, subharmonic as well as higher order harmonic components are generated in the load voltage waveforms of a three-phase system. These harmonic components are found to be unbalanced in phase displacement. The correction of the unbalanced phase displacement angles of a particular subharmonic or higher order harmonic for this type of triggering is investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Beam with Externally Bonded Fibre Reinforcement Polymer ReinforcementN. Pannirselvam, P.N. Raghunath, K. SugunaThis research study presents the evaluation of the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams with externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcements. Three different steel ratios with two different Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) types and two different thicknesses in each type of GFRP were used. Totally fifteen rectangular beams of 3 m length were cast. Three rectangular beams were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Malaysian Wood CO2 -Laser Cutting Parameters And Cut QualityNukman Yusoff, Saiful Rizal Ismail, Azuddin Mamat, Aznijar Ahmad-YazidLaser has been used to cut most non-metallic materials very efficiently and successfully because these materials are highly absorptive by the CO2 laser wavelength of 10.6 10.6µm. Laser cutting process has been found to be reliable in loads of applications, with several advantages over other mechanical means in producing successful cut of even thermally sensitive materials such as wood.
