Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Tillage Methods on Soil Fragmentation in Loamy-Clay SoilsYousef Abbaspour-Gilandeh, Vali Rasooli Sharabiani, Ahmad KhalilianProblem statement: Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in tillage in order to create a favorable soil environment for crop growth. Soil fragmentation is defined as the process of breakdown and crumbling of soil aggregates. Currently, there is no published research data on optimum tillage operations for seedbed preparation in loamy-clay soils of western Caspian Sea region of Iran. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lateral Reaction of a Deformable Inclined Surface on a Wheel with an Elastic TrunkSayel M. Fayyad, Suleiman Abu-Ein, Waleed MomaniProblem statement: This study is concerned with a very important problem belonging in the effects of deformable inclined surfaces on a wheel with an elastic trunk. These effects can be represented by two effects: A lateral withdrawal of the trunk and lateral shift of the ground. Also this study aims to study these effects and analyze them mathematically to find … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Hyperplanes of the Geometry D4,2 and their Related CodesAbdelsalam Abou ZaydaProblem statement: The point-line geometry of type D4,2 was introduced and characterized by many authors such as Shult and Buekenhout and in several researches many of geometries were considered to construct good families of codes and this forced us to present very important substructures in such geometry that are hyperplanes. Approach: We used the isomorphic classical polar space Ω+(8, F) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Factors on Iranian Consumers Behavior in Internet Shopping: A Soft Computing ApproachMaryam Ghasemaghaei, Bahram Ranjbarian, S. Amirhassan MonadjemiProblem statement: Nowadays, the Internet is increasingly becoming the fastest growing shopping channel in these days. Moreover, it has been predicted that the city of Isfahan in Iran will experience a sharp increase in the Internet and the Web usage in the next decade. However, the factors affect the shopping of different products via the Internet have received a little … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Networks Based Modeling and Control of Continuous Stirred Tank ReactorR. Suja Mani Malar, T. ThyagarajanContinuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is one of the common reactors in chemical plant. Problem statement: Developing a model incorporating the nonlinear dynamics of the system warrants lot of computation. An efficient control of the product concentration can be achieved only through accurate model. Approach: In this study, attempts were made to alleviate the above mentioned problem using &#34Artificial Intelligence&#34 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical and Analytical Study of Exhaust Gases Flow in Porous Media with Applications to Diesel Particulate FiltersSuleiman Abu-EinProblem statement: The importance of diesel particulate filter has been increased later because of its ability in making emission reduction of the exhaust gasses. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) do two important jobs: gas emissions reduction and noise reduction, the pores spread inside the DPF store some gases and soot emissions and on the other side it prevents some sound or … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplex Specializations of Krammer's Representation of the Braid Group, B3Mohammad N. Abdulrahim, Madline Al-TahanProblem statement: Classifying irreducible complex representations of an abstract group has been always a problem of interest in the field of group representations. In our study, we considered a linear representation of the braid group on three strings, namely, Krammer's representation. The objective of our work was to study the irreducibility of a specialization of Krammer's representation. Approach: We specialized … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Concentration Levels from the Mina Al-Fahal Refinery in Oman Using Artificial Neural NetworksSabah A. Abdul-Wahab, Saleh M. Al-AlawiIn this investigation, two Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were applied for predicting ground-level sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the Sultanate of Oman in order to provide an early warning advisory for the protection of public health. The objective of the first model (Model I) was to use ANN to predict sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels at certain receptors from the Mina … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Laterally Loaded PilesS.T. Kok, Bujang B.K. HuatDesign of laterally loaded piles due to soil movement relies on a number of theoretical and numerical approaches. However, the magnitude of soil movement is difficult to estimate with reasonable confidence and accuracy. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) offers an excellent alternative to study pile-soil interaction and pile’s response under lateral loading due to soil movement. This research presents published analytical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,167 accessesView PDFCite
