Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Single-Phase Rectifier with Improved Power Factor and Low THD using Boost Converter TechniqueIsmail Daut, Rosnazri Ali, Soib TaibThe method of using Boost type of converter was proposed for a 300W single-phase rectifier in this paper. By designing the necessary techniques and methodology, the overall Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion would be improved to the expectation. The cause of having low PF and high THD for a diode-capacitor type of rectifiers is related to non-linearity of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of the Triangular Lagrangian Equilibrium Points in the Relativistic Restricted Three-Body ProblemM. K. Ahmed, F.A. Abd El-Salam, S.E. Abd El-BarThe restricted three body problem is treated in the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity. The equations of motion are linear zed around the libration points L4,5. Locations of the equilibrium points L4,5 are obtained. Existence and stability of these points are investigated. The relativistic correction to the classical mass ratio is determined. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Mechanical Characteristics of Inverter-induction Motor Drive SystemHussein Sarhan, Rateb IssaAn inverter-three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor drive system with improved mechanical characteristics is presented. The proposed system provides mechanical characteristics with constant maximum torque or increased maximum torque and reduced slip speed at frequencies below the nominal frequency. The control algorithm is based on the constant volts per hertz principle using two improvement techniques: keeping maximum torque constant or keeping magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction of a Glucose Biosensor by Immobilizing Glucose Oxidase within a Poly(o-phenylenediamine) Covered Screen-printed ElectrodeMiao Yuqing, Chen Jianrong, Wu XiaohuaThe glucose biosensors were prepared by the electropolymerization of the non-conductive polymer, Poly(o-phenylenediamine), onto a planar screen-printed electrode. A fabrication procedure was performed to decrease the waste of expensive enzyme. The amperometric glucose response was measured by the potensiostating of the prepared glucose biosensors at a potential of 0.3 V with ferrocene as mediator. Results show that the obtained biosensors … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligent Control for Self-erecting Inverted Pendulum Via Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference SystemA. A. Saifizul, Z. Zainon, N. A.Abu Osman et al.A self-erecting single inverted pendulum (SESIP) is one of typical nonlinear systems. The control scheme running the SESIP consists of two main control loops. Namely, these control loops are swing-up controller and stabilization controller. A swing-up controller of an inverted pendulum system must actuate the pendulum from the stable position. While a stabilization controller must stand the pendulum in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClozapine and its Major Stable Metabolites, N-desmethylclozapine and Clozapine N-oxide do not Affect Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells in vitroAvril Pereira, Brian DeanTreatment of refractory schizophrenia with the atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine is associated with life-threatening agranulocytosis, characterised by a drop in neutrophil count. Theoretically, toxicity may be accounted for by direct action of parent drug or one of its stable metabolites on bone marrow stroma given importance of these cells to neutrophil maturation. Effects of clozapine, N-desmethylclozapine and clozapine N-oxide on … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Over-Voltages Produced by Lightning Strokes in the Power Transmission System in the Southern Region of Saudi ArabiaA. U. Al-Abdulaziz, S. M. Bashi, A. A. AlthubaitiThis study deals with the simulation of lightning strokes and their effects on power network in the southern region of Saudi Arabia. The network consists of main generating stations, substations and the power transmission lines. The transient performance of the system has been investigated using the EMTP (Electro Magnetic Transient Program). Some surges were introduced to the network as in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Population In Decompsing Legume Litter Of Differing QualityM. B. Oyun, F. C. Akharayi, F. C. AdetuyiThe influence of litter quality on microbial population during decomposition of fresh pruning of Acacia auriculiformis; Gliricidia sepium and Acacia mixed with Gliricidia (50 : 50) is reported. Acacia (soluble C, 46.6%; N, 3.9%; Phenolic, 2.3%) was rated as low quality litter while Gliricidia (soluble C, 45.2%; N, 4.8%; Phenolic, 2.3%) was rated as high quality litter. Acacia mixed with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Study Using FE Code (PLAXIS) on the Geotechnical Behavior of Shell FootingsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. MohammedThis study describes a study on the geotechnical behavior of shell footing using a non-linear finite element analysis with a finite element code, PLAXIS. The shell footing is found to have a better load carrying capacity compared with the conventional slab/flat footing of similar cross sectional area. The FE analysis also showed a reasonably good agreement with the laboratory experimental … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSplitting Technique Initialization in Local PCAAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThe local Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduces linearly redundant components that may present in higher dimensional space. It deploys an initial guess technique which can be utilized when the distribution of a given multivariate data is known to the user. The problem in initialization arises when the distribution is not known. This study explores a technique that can be easily … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
