Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Flow Past a Vertical Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface TemperatureHassan A.M. El-ArabawyProblem statement: In this research the researchers studied and made an analysis to the heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium with surface temperature distribution proportional to xλ by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. Approach: The governing partial differential equations were transformed into a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Existence, Uniqueness and Error Bounds of Approximation Splines Interpolation for Solving Second-Order Initial Value ProblemsAbbas Y. Al Bayati, Rostam K. Saeed, Faraidun K. Hama-SalhProblem statement: The lacunary interpolation problem, which we had investigated in this study, consisted in finding the six degree spline S(x) of deficiency four, interpolating data given on the function value and third and fifth order in the interval [0,1]. Also, an extra initial condition was prescribed on the first derivative. Other purpose of this construction was to solve the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCooperative Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks-Avoid Non-Perfect Reporting ChannelRania A. Mokhtar, Sabira Khatun, B. M. Ali, A. RamliProblem statement: Cognitive radio is a candidate technology for more efficient spectrum utilization systems based on opportunistic spectrum sharing. However, a common assumption regarding cognitive radios is that they are unlicensed spectrum users that should defer to (avoid interfering with) existing primary sources. Therefore effective sensing of primary users was a major focus of current research. Cooperative spectrum sensing had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Set of RST Moment InvariantsKhalid M. HosnyMoment invariants are widely used in image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision. Several methods and algorithms have been proposed for fast and efficient calculation of moment's invariants where numerical approximation errors are involved in most of these methods. In this paper, an optimized set of moment invariants with respect to rotation, scaling and translation is presented. An accurate method … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Compressive Size Effect of Plane Concrete Using Combination of Micro-Plane Damage Based Model and 3D Finite Elements ApproachM. Labibzadeh, S. A. Sadrnejad, M. NaisipourIn recent years, the material behavior dependence of laboratory concrete specimens built with the same concrete mixture under the same load conditions to their geometrical sizes is well established. This phenomenon which is observed not only in concrete but also in most quasi-brittle materials such as rock, ceramic or composite materials is now called as size effect. Many of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransversely Cracked Beam's Finite Elements with a Hinged EndM. Skrinar, T. PliberšekTwo new beam finite-elements to be used for the transverse displacement analysis of slender beams with transverse cracks are presented where the derivations are based on a simplified computational model. The beam stiffness matrixes are presented in symbolic forms for beams with a single transverse crack and a hinge at one of the nodes. Since in the derivations the corresponding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,916 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Velocity Influence on the Vibration of Simply Supported Bernoulli - Euler Beam Under Exponentially Varying Magnitude Moving LoadT. O. AwodolaThe variable velocity influence on the vibration of a simply supported Bernoulli-Euler beam, resting on a uniform foundation, under the action of an exponentially varying magnitude load moving with variable velocity is investigated in this work. The technique is based on the Finite Fourier Sine transformation and the Finite Difference method. Numerical results in plotted curves are presented. It is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated 3D Particle Field Extraction and Tracking System Using Digital in-line HolographyHesham EldeebDigital holography for 3D particle field extraction and tracking is an active research topic. It has a great application in realizing characterization of micro-scale structures in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with high resolution and accuracy. In-line configuration is studied in this study as the fundamental structure of a digital holography system. Digital holographic approach, not only eliminates wet chemical processing and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Possibility of Cyclical Behavior in a Class of Dynamic ModelsAnjan MukherjiThe study investigates conditions under which endogenous cyclic behavior may be observed within the context of Predator-Prey (Lotka-Volterra) Models. The analysis also establishes conditions under which such behavior is non-existent and hence establishes conditions for global convergence to the interior equilibrium, whenever it exists. The results are then applied to two diverse sets of economic exercises and shows how the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 9 Dec 2005 · 7,602 accessesView PDFCite
