Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign of Synthetic Optimizing Neuro Fuzzy Temperature Controller for Dual Screw Profile Plastic Extruder Using LabviewRavi Samikannu, Balakrishnan Anantharaman PoonamallieProblem statement: The temperature control in plastic extrusion machine is an important factor to produce high quality plastic products. The first order temperature control system in plastic extrusion comprises of coupling effects, long delay time and large time constants. Controlling temperature is very difficult as the process is multistage process and the system coupled with each other. In order to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHistogram of Intensity Feature Extraction for Automatic Plastic Bottle Recycling System Using Machine VisionSuzaimah Ramli, Mohd Marzuki Mustafa, Aini Hussain, Dzuraidah Abdul WahabCurrently, many recycling activities adopt manual sorting for plastic recycling that relies on plant personnel who visually identify and pick plastic bottles as they travel along the conveyor belt. These bottles are then sorted into the respective containers. Manual sorting may not be a suitable option for recycling facilities of high throughput. It has also been noted that the high … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlastic Solid Waste Assessment in the State of Kuwait and Proposed Methods of RecyclingS. Al-Salem, M. Al-SamhanA proper assessment of Solid Plastic Waste (SPW) in Kuwait will provide a greater understanding to the industry of plastic manufacturing and manufacturers as well as direct the strategic future plans proposed into execution. This research show the results obtained after a years survey and study of plastic solid waste in the state of Kuwait and the surrounding region in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of a Prototype Automated Sorting System for Plastic RecyclingD. A. Wahab, A. Hussain, E. Scavino et al.Automated sorting for plastic recyclables has been seen as the way forward in the plastic recycling industry. Automated sorting provides significant improvements in terms of efficiency and consistency in the sorting process. In the case of macro sorting, which is the most common type of automated sorting, efficiency is determined by the mechanical details of the material handling system as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 8,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFrom Plastic Waste to Building Material: Mechanical Properties of Recycled Thermoplastic TimberMonica Valdés, Nicoletta Trulli, Barbara De NicoloThe present paper illustrates the mechanical properties of a new structural product called Recycled Thermoplastic Timber (RTT), manufactured in Sardinia (Italy) and made of recycled plastics. The preliminary results of an experimental campaign aimed at assessing the main mechanical and physical properties of RTT are presented and discussed. Unreinforced and steel-reinforced thermoplastic timber profiles have been tested in laboratory and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2018 · 13,406 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOsmotic Tension, Plasticization and Viscoelastic response of amorphous Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) equilibrated in humid environmentsAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioDynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and water moisture sorption-desorption kinetics and equilibria have been parallely investigated to monitoring the environmental and thermal sensitivity of amorphous thermoplastic Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK). Morphological modification occurring in PEEK during the calorimetric and thermo-mechanical characterizations and the hygrothermal stability are presented. An interpretation based on the free energy of mixing of a polymer chains … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2016 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
