Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Modeling of Temperature Extremes Behaviour in GhanaTwumasi-Ankrah Sampson, Nyantakyi Agyei KwadwoThis paper focuses on modeling the extreme maximum temperature in Ghana using the extreme value theory. This is to inform decision-makers to help them plan appropriate risk mitigating measures to reduce the damage caused by drought. The block maxima with Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and the General Pareto (GP) (with “all excesses” and decluster peaks) were used on 113 years … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2019 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLagrangian Micromixing Models for Concentration Fluctuations: An OverviewPaolo Monti, Giovanni Leuzzi, Andrea AmicarelliThis study presents a brief overview of the main features, theoretical formulations and validation tests of some Lagrangian micromixing models, currently used for estimations of the ensemble mean and the turbulent fluctuations of concentration. Their application fields regards several pollutant dispersion phenomena such as: accidents (power or production plants, terroristic attacks, hydrocarbons storage and transport, extraordinary emissions), odours (power plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSafety Health Impacts of Particulate Matter from Excavation Work SitesGiuseppe Pizzo, Marina ClericoEpidemiological studies have shown a linear relationship between airborne particulates and effects on human health. This study examines the risk that can be run by populations which are exposed to significant pollutant sources such as excavation in urban areas for renovation work. The health risk assessment methodology defined by the WHO air quality guidelines for Europe was applied to assess … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Jul 2012 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Fully Coupled Approach for Evaluation of Wellbore Stability in Hydrocarbon ReservoirsVera RoccaProblem statement: When a well is drilled in a hydrocarbon reservoir, the original thermodynamic conditions are altered, the natural stresses are redistributed and a stress concentration occurs around the hole. The alteration of the original equilibrium can lead to wellbore damage, sometimes to its complete collapse. Loss of time associated with stability problems is estimated to account for 12-15% of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Spot Diameter and Sheets Thickness on Fatigue Life of Spot Welded Structure based on FEA ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. B. Rosli, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents the effect of the spot weld and sheets thickness on the fatigue life of the of the spot-weld joints to predict the lifetime and location of the weakest spot-welds due to the variable amplitude loading conditions. A simple model was used to illustrate the technique of spot-weld fatigue analysis. Finite element model and analysis were carried out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigations on the Grasping Contact Analysis of Biological Tissues With Applications in Minimally Invasive SurgeryAli Bonakdar, Javad Dargahi, Rama BhatAnalytical and finite element methods are employed to determine the contact pressure on the surface of a tissue being grasped by an endoscopic grasper, in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Normally, an endoscopic grasper is corrugated (teeth-like) in order to grasp slippery tissues. It is highly important to avoid damage to the tissues while grasping and manipulation during endoscopic surgery. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoughness Effect on an Unsteady Flow in Pipelines by Profilometry and Imaging TechniquesMabrouk Benkhedimallah, Rabah Zegadi, Mohamed BouafiaProblem statement: Currently the aero dynamical calculation in gas pipes is carried out under the assumption of steady state conditions. However real steady in a network is scarcely quasisteady. Approach: The unsteady state is governed by non-linear partial differential equations leading to mathematical difficulties. And there are fore gas pipe dimensions are computed at steady state under extreme conditions. Results: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiological Control of Spodoptera frugiperda Eggs Using Telenomus remus Nixon in Maize-Bean-Squash PolycultureAntonio GutiA©rrez-MartAnez, Alfredo Tolon-Becerra, Xavier B. Lastra-BravoThe maize earworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important pest in maize. Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) is an important control agent of this pest due to its capacity to invade the whole egg mass. The percentage of parasitism by Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs was evaluated in maize-bean, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Jul 2012 · 10,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Evaluation of Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Predictive Speech Coder with Bitrate Scalable Tool over Additive White Gaussian Noise and Rayleigh Fading ChannelsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In the modern speech communication technology, the speech coding with bitrate scalability was needed. However, various types of noises in the communication channels cause damages in the transmitted information especially speech data. Tonal-language speech was also affected by this situation. Approach: Based on the high pitch delay resolution technique, the MPCELP speech coding was proposed over the environment … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
