Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLinear Smoothing of Noisy Spatial Temporal SeriesValter Di Giacinto, Ian dryden, Luigi ippoliti, Luca RomagnoliThe main objective of the study is the development of a linear filter to extract the signal from a spatio-temporal series affected by measurement error. We assume that the evolution of the unobservable signal can be modelled by a space time autoregressive process. In its vectorial form, the model admits a state space representation allowing the direct application of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) for Identification of Fritillaria According to Geographical OriginWang Shujun, Yu Jinglin, Gao WenyuanFritillaria is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine for anti-tussive and expectorant use in China and some other Asian countries. The Fritillaria Chinese medicine material derived from different geographical origins is always difficult to discriminate each other. The objective of the study is to develop a nondestructive and simple method to identify five Fritillaria Chinese materia medica such as Fritillaria thunbergii … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonic Study and Physical Properties of Borotellurite GlassesW.M. Daud, H. Zainul, Z.A. Talib et al.A series of glasses (TeO2)x (B2O3)1-x with x = 0.6, 0.63, 0.65, 0.70, 0.73, 0.75, 0.78 and 0.80 were synthesized by rapid quenching. Longitudinal and shear ultrasonic velocity were measured at room temperature and at 5 MHz frequency. Elastic properties, Poisson’s ratio and micro hardness have been calculated from the measured density and ultrasonic velocity at room temperature. Estimated parameters … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation of Flow Control by Suction and Injection on a Subsonic AirfoilM. H. Shojaefard, A. R. Noorpoor, A. Avanesians, M. GhaffarpourThis study presents a numerical study concerning flow control by suction and injection. The case studied is the flow field over a subsonic airfoil with four suction and injection slots on the suction side of the airfoil. Five different angles of attack, 0, 5, 10, 13.3 and 20 with the Mach number of 0.15 are studied. Three cases are studied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Flow in Agriculture: BangladeshM. S. Alam, M. R. Alam, K. K. IslamIn this paper, a qualitative energy flow analysis in Bangladesh agriculture has been made for a period from 1980-81 to 2000-01 to evaluate the impact of energy input to produce output. Human and animal muscle power and machinery energy for tillage operation, electricity and diesel energy for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticides energy for growth and protection are taken into account. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 11,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation and Situation of Timber Harvesting Mechanization of Turkey and the Usage of Tractors in Timber ExtractionMurat Demir, Tolga OzturkIn this study is to summarize usage of tractors in timber extraction and major problems of mechanized timber harvesting in Turkey. Timber harvesting in Turkey is still carried out by manual methods due to economical, social and environmental constraints. Almost 80% of harvesting activities are mechanized in many developed countries while this value is only 5% in Turkey. Overall ratio … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation and Characterization of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Composite Material: Polymerization of m-Aminobenzoic Acid-Intercalated Into Zn/Al-Layered Double HydroxidesRasheed M.A.Q. JamhourLayered double hydroxides of aluminum and zinc (Zn/Al-LDH’s) were synthesized directly by hydrolysis at room temperature as reported elsewhere. After characterization, the material was reacted with m-aminobenzoat anion (m-NH2C6H4COO-) which undergoes polymerization in the interlayer space; resulting in the formation of a matrix with polymeric organic macromolecule. The resulting material along with the host LDH’s compound of Zn/Al-Cl was characterized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite

This study deals with an experimental investigation on the quality improvement by diamond grinding of ceramic and cemented carbide cutting inserts, comparing it with conventional batch produced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Optical and Physical Roles of a Dielectric Laser Dye Solvent Which Affects on the Dye Laser OperationRiyad A.M. GhazyIt is well known that when the pump laser beam incidence on the laser dye liquid it will be absorbed. This absorption tends to heat the laser active medium, which is the laser dye solution. In view of this the correlated property of that active medium well change tends to shift the operated frequency and wavelength. Therefore, one of most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
