Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to Damage Detection in Composite Body Structures Using Time Compensated Hyperspectral Image Analysis TechniqueMahmoud Zaki IskandaraniA novel approach to damage detection in composite car body structures using hyperspectral image index analysis algorithm is presented and discussed. The adapted technique allows the monitoring and analysis of a components structure based on correlation between time spaced thermal images. The technique produces several organized tables resulting from image fusion and frame deviation pixel redistribution calculations, which results in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2013 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcoustic Properties of Innovative Material from Date Palm FibreLamyaa Abd AL-Rahman, Raja Ishak Raja, Roslan Abdul Rahman, Zawawi IbrahimProblem statement: An organic material is one of the major requirements to improve living environment and the invention of materials need to consider for the best solution. This study presents an experimental investigation on pure porous from Date Palm Fibre (DPF). The effectiveness of sound absorbers depends on structural architecture of this material. This study was conducted to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 17 Jul 2012 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Automatic IncubatorSiriluk Sansomboonsuk, Chagorn Phonhan, Girati PhonhanThe designing of an automatic incubator consists of three main parts. The first part is a mathematical model of an incubator. Thermo-physical properties of selected materials were substituted to investigate its heat transfer characteristics. The second part is the consideration of equipment used to measure and control temperature and humidity. The last part is to select the controller for an … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 14,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation and Beneficiation of Bentonitic Clays from Pindiga Formation in Benue TroughB. B.M. Dewu, I. I. Funtua, M. O.A. Oladipo et al.Problem statement: This study aimed at evaluating and beneficiating Bentonitic clays of Pindiga Formation from the upper Benue trough in northeastern Nigeria to meet the standard required for use in oil well drilling. This will reduce the dependence on imported Bentonite into the country, increase foreign exchange, improve the country’s economy and create employment opportunities. Approach: Three clay samples from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 16 Jan 2012 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Front Lines: Educating Teachers about Bullying and Prevention MethodsAviva Twersky GlasnerProblem statement: Bullying is a serious problem in American schools and is characterized by aggressive behavior distinguished by unequal power and the intention to cause physical, social, or emotional harm to others Bullying is evolving from the classic image of a big schoolyard bully picking on smaller kids to a more technologically, sophisticated model of kids using cyber technology to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2010 · 9,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Exercise Training on Adiponectin Receptor Expression and Insulin Resistance in Mice Fed a High Fat DietNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Nasr Arafat Belacy, Enas Mohammed Kasem, Mona Maher AllamProblem statement: Adiponectin is an adipocyte secreted hormones, exerts its effects via the specific receptors. AdipoR1 and adipoR2 and plays a pivotal role in lipid and glucose metabolism. Approach: We investigated the effect of increased physical activities on insulin resistance and if this effect is modulated through adiponectin receptor expression. Results: We also assessed the effect of High Fat Diet … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn-Cylinder Heat Transfer Characteristics of Hydrogen Fueled Engine: A Steady State ApproachM. M. Rahman, Khalaf I. Hamada, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents in-cylinder heat transfer characteristics of a single cylinder port injection Hydrogen fueled Internal Combustion Engine (H2ICE) using a steady state approach. Problem statement: The differences in characteristics between hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels are led to the difference in the behavior of physical processes during engine cycle. One of these processes is the in-cylinder heat transfer. Approach: One … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
