Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Reliability Calculations for the Thin Specialty Glass PV Solar PanelsDhananjay Joshi, James E. WebbThis study provides important design guidance to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel development efforts using the finite element based computations of the PV module under the mechanical loadings. We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2019 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Optimization of Steel Sandwich Panels under Blast LoadingSayed M. Soleimani, Nader H. Ghareeb, Nourhan H. ShakerHoneycomb sandwich panels are commonly preferred in structural engineering as a design element meant to protect against blast loading, and this owes primarily to the fact that they are light in weight (due to the voids present) whilst carrying high energy absorption capacities. A widespread surge in acts of terrorism, and the resultant threat posed to structures, presents structural engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCritical Study of Several MPPT Techniques for Photovoltaic SystemsBennacer El Hassouni, A. Haddi, A.G. AmraniThis paper presents a critical study of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques for photovoltaic systems. After a brief introduction of the key factors for power extraction of photovoltaic panels, a review of commonly used MPPT techniques is presented and detailed with a holistic approach. Then, a comparison of these techniques is made according to several parameters such as robustness, … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 20 May 2019 · 6,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Subset Matching Methods: Evidence from a Monte Carlo Simulation StudyLateef Amusa, Temesgen Zewotir, Delia NorthIn the absence or infeasibility of experiments, matching methods have increasingly been used in making causal claims using observational data. This paper conducts a Monte Carlo simulation study, based on a household panel survey, to compare the performance of some widely used subset matching methods. The methods include the propensity score caliper matching, Mahalanobis distance matching, and coarsened exact matching. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 11 Apr 2019 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDNA Yields and PCR Amplification Success Using Degraded Animal CorpsesJimmy Ilunga, Paul Michael, Grace Daniel et al.A recurring problem with ancient specimens from wildlife animals is that their preserved tissues contain small amounts of DNA in a degraded state. The specific objectives of the present study were: (1) To determine DNA yields from different animal tissues; (2) to compare traditional (manual) DNA extraction protocols with commercial procedures and (3) to assess the success of PCR amplification … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2020 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStiffened Panels Damage Tolerance Determination using an Optimization Procedure based on a Linear Delamination Growth ApproachAniello Riccio, Francesco Di Caprio, Francesco Scaramuzzino et al.The damage tolerance of delaminated composite panels under compressive load is usually numerically evaluated by means of computationally expensive non-linear approaches. In this study, an alternative numerical linear approach, able to mimic the delamination propagation initiation, is proposed. With the aim to exploit its benefits, in terms of computational costs reduction, the proposed linear methodology has been used in this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNexus between CO2 Emission, Energy Consumption and Economic Growth in ASEAN Countries Plus ChinaGhulam Mustafa, Ismail Abd Latif, Said Zamin Shah, Muhammad Khalid BashirThis study mainly contributes to test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis using panel data for the ASEAN (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines) countries plus China. Empirical focus of the study is to examine the nexus between CO2 emission, energy consumption and economic growth. While using panel data for 1971-2008 and applying panel co-integration techniques, the emergent findings of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 19 Aug 2016 · 7,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMacroeconomic Determinants of Non-Performing Loans: An Empirical Study of Some Arab CountriesMahmoud Abdelaziz Touny, Mohamed Abdelhameed ShehabThe issue of non-performing loans is one of the factors that reflect the soundness of the banking sector. The main objective of this study is to identify macroeconomic determinants of non-performing loans in some Arab countries through the period 2000-2012 using the dynamic panel data approach. The outcomes of this paper suggest that inflation rate has a negative impact on … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 9 May 2015 · 7,930 accessesView PDFCite
