Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element and Experimental Serviceability Analysis of HSC Beams Strengthened with FRP SheetsSeyed Hamid Hashemi, Reza Rahgozar, Ali Akbar MaghsoudiThe use of externally bonded composite sheets or laminates is by now a diffuse technique to strengthen existing RC structures. However, some aspects of flexural condition still need experimental and numerical analysis; furthermore, especially for serviceability checks, there is a lack of code provisions. Six reinforced high strength concrete (HSC) beams strengthened with FRP sheets were fabricated and tested, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Aorta Artery Aneurysms Using Active Electronic CircuitKamran Hassani, Mahdi Navidbakhsh, Mostafa RostamiThe fusiform and saccular aneurysms in different aorta artery sections were studied using an electronic circuit of cardiovascular system. The geometrical model of each artery section including thoracic and abdominal were generated in accordance with original anatomical data. By increasing the rate of aneurysm in each studied section, the pressure drop were calculated using CFD method, furthermore the compliance variations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapamycin Inhibits Cystogenesis by Cystic Epithelial Cells Derived from Human Autosomal Dominant Polycystic KidneysGerard Elberg, Teresa V. Lewis, Lijuan Chen, Martin A. TurmanAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic disorders and carries a high health burden since it progresses to renal failure in half of the afflicted individuals by the 6th decade of life. Currently, there is no effective treatment to slow the progression of ADPKD. Rapamycin, a drug most commonly used as an immunosuppressive agent … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Rejuvenation Scheduling of Distributed Computation Based on Dynamic ProgrammingHiroyuki Okamura, Kazuki Iwamoto, Tadashi DohiRecently, a complementary approach to handle transient software failures, called software rejuvenation, is becoming popular as a proactive fault management technique in operational software systems. In this study, we develop the optimal scheduling algorithms to trigger software rejuvenation in distributed computation circumstance. In particular, we focus on two different computation circumstances in terms of detection of failures. Based on the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of 3-D Porous Mg/Zn doped Tricalcium Phosphate Bone-Scaffolds via the Fused Deposition ModellingSamar Jyoti Kalita, Melissa FergusonThree dimensionally interconnected porous resorbable beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramic scaffolds were developed using the indirect fused deposition modelling process. β-TCP was doped with Mg and Zn, separately, to improve its sintering kinetics and facilitate fabrication of viable porous scaffolds. Effects of Mg and Zn on sintering kinetics and densification of β-TCP were studied. Fabricated porous scaffolds were tested for their … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Software Quality Model for Evaluating COTS ComponentsAdnan Rawashdeh, Bassem MatalkahStudies show that COTS-based (Commercial off the shelf) systems that are being built recently are exceeding 40% of the total developed software systems. Therefore, a model that ensures quality characteristics of such systems becomes a necessity. Among the most critical processes in COTS-based systems are the evaluation and selection of the COTS components. There are several existing quality models used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 11,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Text Input Methods for Mobile PhonesBarry O, Kevin Curran, Derek WoodsHuman Computer Interaction is a primary factor in the success or failure of any device but if an objective view is taken of the current mobile phone market you would be forgiven for thinking usability was secondary to aesthetics. Many phone manufacturers modify the design of phones to be different than the competition and to target fashion trends, usually at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordClassroom Discipline, Why Teachers are Leaving, Because of Their Failure to Understand Methods of Discipline?Gurudeo Anand Tularam, Omar Moalin HassanClassroom discipline for secondary education is an indispensable way of creating inclusive learning environments. It encompasses theoretical perspectives, ranging from encouraging student engagement to minimizing disruptive behaviours to promoting academic growth. This paper reviews the literature related to the following popular classroom management theories: behaviourist, social learning theory, humanistic, cognitive, and sociocultural; the models of discipline include assertive discipline, restorative … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 10 Oct 2025 · 2,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Constitutive Model for Multi-Line Simulation of Granular Material Behavior Using Multi-Plane PatternS. A. Sadrnejad, A. Saedi Daryan, M. ZiaeiProblem statement: Improper understanding of material behavior prevents the efficient and correct usage of available materials and consequently, increases the construction and maintenance costs and even unsuitable construction. Considering the necessity of exact investigation about material behavior, several researches have been carried out in this field but the majority of these researches did not propose a general method for prediction … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPersonality Traits and Exposure to Stressful Life Events Among Smokers and NonsmokersNataša Šimić, Arta Dodaj, Kristina SesarEarly studies supposed that personality traits and students’ life, which include brings many social and academic changes, may be relevant factors in initiation and maintenance of smoking. The aims of this study were to investigate differences in personality dimensions, as well as exposure to stressful life events among students’ smokers and nonsmokers and finally to examine the predictive contribution of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
