Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Shear Box Test Apparatus for Measuring Shear Strength of Unsaturated Residual SoilBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj Ali, S. HashimResidual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. Most of these soils exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The shear strength parameters, c’ and Φ’, of soil can be obtained using conventional shear strength tests. However the conventional shear strength test equipments would not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn HIV/AIDS Model with Variable Force of Infection and its Application to the Epidemic in UgandaFlugentius Baryarama, Joseph Y.T. Mugisha, Livingstone S. LuboobiAn HIV/AIDS model is formulated with variable force of infection for the adult population. Its actions are reduced to a prevalence equation that is a non-logistic equation whose explicit solution is derived. The implications of applying the solution to the evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are discussed with respect to the positive boundedness of the coefficients. Prevalence projections are presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Reliability and Availability Characteristics of Two Different Systems by Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsKhaled M. El-Said, Mohamed S. EL-SherbenyThis study deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of two different series system configurations. The second system differs from the first system due to the additional feature of preventive maintenance. The failure times of a components are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters α,β,α' and β', respectively. The replacement time distribution of each server is also exponentially distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Slope Assessment System in Predicting Landslides along Roads Underlain by Granitic FormationBujang B.K. Huat, S. JamaludinA slope assessment is to estimate the probability of occurrence and likely severity of landslides in a given area. This study evaluates two existing Slope Assessment Systems (SAS) for predicting landslide at the micro level of assessment developed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia, namely the Slope Information Management System (SIMS) and the Slope Management and Risk Tracking System … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on “Surface Roughness Prediction Model in Machining of Carbon Steel by PVD Coated Cutting Tools”Godfrey C. OnwuboluAn article published in this journal by Sahin and Motorcu[1] developed a surface roughness model based on the response surface method, multiplicative-logarithmically linearized approach for determination of the cutting parameters in turning of AISI 1040 carbon steel. Their published results for the surface roughness show that it appears Sahin and Motorcu[1] have obtained wrong constants (C, m, n, p), thereby … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Flow Energy Dissipation over Different Stepped SpillwaysG. A. Barani, M. B. Rahnama, N. SohrabipoorIn this study, to investigate energy dissipation of flow overstepped spillways of different step shapes, a physical wooden model has been built in the Shahid Bahonar University’s hydraulics lab. This model with 41.41° slope has 84 cm height and 21 steps. Each step has 4 cm height, 4.5 cm width and 30 cm length. Experiments have been carried out for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Pressure Pulses in the Jerk Fuel Injection SystemsR. A. Baker, T. FirozComputer software has been developed and described in the present study of thorough parametric analysis and design of a mechanical diesel fuel injection system. The method is based on the numerical solution of one dimensional, unsteady, incompressible flow equations through the fuel pipe along with appropriate initial condition, pump end boundary condition and nozzle end boundary condition. Method of characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferent Methods for Pion-nucleus Optical PotentialS. A.E. Khallaf, A. A. IbrahimElastic and inelastic cross-sections for pion scattering on 12C at pion kinetic energy ranging from 50 to 260 MeV are computed using three independent methods of π± -nucleus optical potential, the 3α-particle model of the nucleus, the equivalent local Kisslinger potential and the Laplacian one. Reasonable fits to the measured values are obtained for 12C without adjusting free parameters. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Properties Analysis of Frictional Winding Mechanism with Bobbin Elastic SupportMohammed A. Alnawafleh, Faisal M. Al-GhathianA mathematical model of the Frictional Winding Mechanism (FWM) with bobbin elastic supports for a search of optimal structural and physical parameters for developing new and updating existing FWMs has been carried out. The model was derived from bobbin equipped with pendulum suspension for forming cylinder shaped packages. In the derivation method it was considered that the model corresponds the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,879 accessesView PDFCite
