Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis of Cross and Single Sided Naturally Ventilated Rooms Using CFDK. Visagavel, P. S.S. SrinivasanNatural ventilation contributes to the improvement of thermal comfort and quality conditions of the internal air, while at the same time it is recognized as a very efficient technique that, when applied properly. The present project refers to the numerical prediction of air velocities in cross and single-sided naturally ventilated rooms, which are considered along with atmospheric zone. Continuity and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,741 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOn the Probability Density Function of the Test Statistic for One Nonlinear GLR Detector Arising from fMRIFangyuan NanRecently an important and interesting nonlinear generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) detector emerged in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data processing. However, the study of that detector is incomplete: the probability density function (pdf) of the test statistic was draw from numerical simulations without much theoretical support and is therefore, not firmly grounded. This correspondence presents more accurate (asymptotic) closed form … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,108 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNumerical Study of the Moving Boundary Problem During Melting Process in a Rectangular Cavity Heated from BelowY. Jellouli, R. Chouikh, A. Guizani, A. BelghithWe present an analysis of the melting process in Phase Change Materials (PCM) in a horizontal cavity heated from below, driven by the coupling of transient heat conduction in the solid phase and steady state laminar natural convection in the liquid phase with one of the boundaries of the solution domain that moves. We state the problem in the Cartesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,396 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Application of Finite Element Modelling to Pneumatic Artificial MuscleR. Ramasamy, M. R. Juhari, M. R. Mamat et al.The purpose of this article was to introduce and to give an overview of the Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs) as a whole and to discuss its numerical modelling, using the Finite Element (FE) Method. Thus, more information to understand on its behaviour in generating force for actuation was obtained. The construction of PAMs was mainly consists of flexible, inflatable membranes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,667 accessesView PDF Cite
