Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Azadirachta indica on Sheep Infected Naturally with HelminthesF.R. Macedo, H. Louvandini, G.R. Paludo et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) on natural helminthes infection in lambs. Forty, four-month-old entire Santa Ines lambs were grazed on pasture, over a 20 week period. They were divided into 4 treatments: Without drenching (ND), 3 g A. indica/animal (A3), 6 g A. indica/animal (A6) and 9 g A. indica/animal (A9) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFoundry Wastes Reuse and Recycling in Concrete ProductionSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiThe industrial process of a cast iron foundry plant located in the North of Italy was analyzed in order to determine the amount and kind of produced wastes. The main fractions are core and moulding sands, muds and powders from dust abatement plants, furnace and ladle slags, and exhaust lime, making about 750-800 t/d of residues for a production of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecurity Manager - Key to Restrict the Attacks in BluetoothPushpa Suri, Sona RaniBluetooth is the technology that utilizes radio frequency waves as a way to communicate wirelessly between digital devices. The Bluetooth user has the choice of point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links whereby communication can be held between two devices, or up to eight. When devices are communicating with each other they are known as piconet, and each device is designated as a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistological Study of the Caecal Tonsil in the Cecum of 4- 6 Months of Age White Leghorn ChicksM. Rezaian, S. HamediCecum, the largest part of chicken’s large intestine, has an important role in liquid absorption and cellulose digestion. It acts as a defensive organ as well due to the presence of large masses of diffuse and nodular lymphatic tissue in lamina propria and sub mucosa. The cecal tonsil activity has been proved to be depended on the activity of bursa … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaize Oil Can Replace Fish Oil in The Diet of Grouper Postlarvae (Epinephelus Coioides) Without Adversely Affecting Growth or Fatty Acid CompositionJin Niu, Yong-Jian Liu, Li-Xia Tian et al.This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth, survival and body composition of 40 day post hatch larval grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Fish were fed fish meal and protein hydrolysate based diets for 32 days with either 100% maize oil or 100% fish oil in triplicate from 40-day after hatching to slaughter size (fish weight: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,279 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 · 7,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Difference Solution for Precooling Process of Fish PackagesK. A. Abbas, F. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure convection heat transfer in slab shaped fresh water fish pieces. A generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form and an optimized scheme of the solutions was worked out. A fully explicit finite difference scheme, an implicit finite difference scheme and different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplicit Finite Difference Solution of Heat Transfer Problems of Fish Packages in PrecoolingA. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, M.M.H. Megat Ahmad et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized explicit finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure heat transfer from the surfaces of Pangasius Sutchi fish samples suddenly exposed to a cooling environment. Regular shaped packages in the form of an infinite slab were considered and a generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form. An accurate sample … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
