Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoric Acid Levels in Fresh Noodles and Fish BallPang-Hung Yiu, Jian See, Amartalingam Rajan, Choon-Fah J. BongBoric acid (H3BO3) is detrimental to human health if consumed in excess. However, it continues to be used in the production of food especially noodles and some processed seafood such as fish ball. Five kinds of noodles and a type of fish ball were collected over a period of four weeks from a random sample of manufacturers in Bintulu, Sarawak, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 10,609 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerically Studying the Effect of Stiffening Rings on Reducing the Thickness of Torospherical Heads under Pressure on Their Concave SideSa'id Golabi, Ali Ghorbanpour-Arani, Arash ZamaniThe high thickness of heads used in pressure vessels is always one of the main concerns of designers and manufacturers. A thorough study has been conducted on all types of heads including torospherical heads, with external and internal pressure to reduce their thickness using stiffening rings by finite element technique. Here the result of analysis on heads with pressure on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,146 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Economical Equipment for Water and Fuel Level Detection in JordanAli M. OthmanBoth a cold and hot water supplies in Jordan are provided by indirect systems and so is the fuel supply for central heating, by using storage tanks placed over the buildings roofs. This requires climbing to the roofs for measuring the level of fluid in these tanks. This method is primitive, impractical and tedious. A simple reliable easing system is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,584 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) On The Corrosion Resistance of Industrial and Laboratory Zinc CoatingsY. Hamlaoui, F. Pedraza, L. TifoutiIn this work, corrosion monitoring of Zn-based coatings is investigated through potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The first part of the study is devoted to galvanised coatings conventionally manufactured in the industry. The second part focuses on the corrosion resistance of a laboratory-made electrolytic coating. For such purpose, the corrosion behaviour is studied in NaCl media under various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,594 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlastic Solid Waste Assessment in the State of Kuwait and Proposed Methods of RecyclingS. Al-Salem, M. Al-SamhanA proper assessment of Solid Plastic Waste (SPW) in Kuwait will provide a greater understanding to the industry of plastic manufacturing and manufacturers as well as direct the strategic future plans proposed into execution. This research show the results obtained after a years survey and study of plastic solid waste in the state of Kuwait and the surrounding region in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,416 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,662 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-cost in vitro Screening Method for Digestibility of Pet ChewsTimothy J. Bowser, Charles I. Abramson, Dwayne BennettFour pet chew treats from four different manufacturers were tested for digestibility using in vitro tests in artificial gastric (stomach) and intestinal juices. In vitro tests were selected to determine the digestibility of dog chews for humane reasons and were conducted under conditions that were designed to simulate the digestive system of dogs. The purpose of the tests was to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,552 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling and Interpretation of PbPc Gas Sensor ArrayNidal F. Shilbayeh, Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniThe voltage/current characteristics and the effect of NO2 gas on the electrical conductivity of a PbPc gas sensor array is investigated. The gas sensor is manufactured using vacuum deposition of gold electrodes on sapphire substrate with the lead-phathalocyanine vacuum sublimed on the top of the gold electrodes. Two versions of the PbPc gas sensor array are investigated. The tested types … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,789 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite
