Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Technical Review of Compressed Natural Gas as an Alternative Fuel for Internal Combustion EnginesSemin, Rosli Abu BakarNatural gas is promising alternative fuel to meet strict engine emission regulations in many countries. Compressed natural gas (CNG) has long been used in stationary engines, but the application of CNG as a transport engines fuel has been considerably advanced over the last decade by the development of lightweight high-pressure storage cylinders. Engine conversion technology is well established and suitable … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 17,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Deduced Protein Database Using Variable Bit Binary EncodingB. Parvathavarthini, B. Rajesh Kanna, L. RajeswarideviA large amount of biological data is semi-structured and stored in any one the following file formats such as flat, XML and relational files. These databases must be integrated with the structured data available in relational or object-oriented databases. The sequence matching process is difficult in such file format, because string comparison takes more computation cost and time. To reduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Diesel Engine Performance Based on SimulationSemin, Rosli Abu Bakar, Abdul Rahim IsmailThe single cylinder modeling and simulation for four-stroke direct-injection diesel engine requires the use of advanced analysis and development tools to carry out of performance the diesel engine model. The simulation and computational development of modeling for the research use the commercial of GT-SUITE 6.2 software. In this research, the one dimensional modeling of single cylinder for four-stroke direct-injection diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPile Instrumentation Using Retrievable SensorsFaisal Hj. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Sieng KaiStrain gauges are normally used to monitor the shortening or compression of pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Visualization and Simulation of Diesel Engines Valve Lift Performance Using CFDSemin, Rosli Abu Bakar, Abdul Rahim IsmailThe paper visualized and simulated the intake and exhaust valve lift in the single-cylinder four-stroke direct injection diesel engine. The visualization and simulation computational development were using the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics of STAR-CD 3.15A software and GT-SUITE 6.2 software. The one dimensional of valve lift modeling was developed using GT-POWER software and the visualization the model using STAR-CD. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Compressive Size Effect of Plane Concrete Using Combination of Micro-Plane Damage Based Model and 3D Finite Elements ApproachM. Labibzadeh, S. A. Sadrnejad, M. NaisipourIn recent years, the material behavior dependence of laboratory concrete specimens built with the same concrete mixture under the same load conditions to their geometrical sizes is well established. This phenomenon which is observed not only in concrete but also in most quasi-brittle materials such as rock, ceramic or composite materials is now called as size effect. Many of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Theory and View of Teaching Compressed and Abbreviated Research Methodology and Statistics CoursesJames Carifio, Lisa EriksonOne of the highly questionable effects of educational reform and other curriculum reshaping factors at both the high school, post-secondary and graduate levels has been the shift to teaching compressed, pared-down or abbreviated courses in still needed or required subject-matter that became de-emphasized in the current educational reformation. Research methodology, particularly the highly quantitative and experimental kind and statistics, are … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of 2_D Turbidity Currents and Wall JetM.H. Shojaeefard, K. Goudarzi, H. Ghasvari JahromiDense underflows are continuous currents, which move down the slope due to the fact that, their density are heavier than ambient water. In turbidity currents the density differences arises from suspended solids. Vicinity of the wall make density currents and wall jets similar in some sense but Variation of density cause this flows more complex than wall jets. An improved … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGas Turbine Ontology for the Industrial ProcessesF. Z. Laallam, M. SellamiThe activity of supervision and control of the industrial processes is a very complex spot and require a great experiment because of the dynamic characteristics of the process. This experiment was acquired with the passing of years. What makes departure of an expert in retirement a great loss of the know-how. The problem thus consists to capture this know-how and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
