Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitrification of Urea and Assimilation of Nitrate in Saturated Soils Under Aerobic ConditionsV. V. Ramakrishnan, A. E. GhalyThe aim of this study was to investigate nitrification activity of urea and the assimilation of nitrate in a well aerated soil using perfusion technique with addition of glucose as an energy and carbon source. In this study, urea was rapidly nitrified by the bacteria in the saturated soil but its course of transformation to NO3 was not linear. There … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 8,415 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetrieval of Similar Shapes Under Affine Transform Using Affine Length ParameterizationA. Lakehal, O. El Beqqali, O. Ait ZemzamiProblem statement: In this study, a new descriptor for shape retrieval under affine transformations had been proposed; the affine length parameterization was used in this approach. Approach: The zero crossing of affine curvature was used to extract a descriptor of shapes in database. For each two successive zero crossing points we extract two parameters: the first parameter was a maximal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2010 · 7,255 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRocks with Asbestos: Risk Evaluation by Means of an Abrasion TestBellopede Rossana, Clerici Carlo, Marini Paola, Zanetti GiovannaNaturally occurring asbestos and asbestiform minerals can be found in metamorphic rocks and in the soil of the alluvial plains. Problem statement: The definition of the "free-asbestos rock" and the limit to consider a rock or a soil safe is still a controversial issue. American and European laws did not present any method to define the hazard of the green … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,667 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical and Microstructural Characterization of Plasma Welded Joints of 18 Ni-300 Maraging Steels Subjected to RepairsPaulo Roberto Sakai, Deivid Ferreira da Silva, Milton Sérgio Fernandes de Lima et al.Among the ultra-high strength structural steels, 18Ni-300 Maraging steel is one of the most important for the naval and aerospace industries. For example, in the manufacture of motor envelopes Plasma Arc Welding-PAW processes are used with the keyhole technique. The joints are regions of high responsibility and undergo a non-destructive inspection according to the standardized technical criteria. If there is … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2021 · 7,599 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Generation/Absorption Effect on Natural Convection Flow in a Vertical Annulus with Time-Periodic Boundary ConditionsMichael O. Oni, Basant K. JhaThe role of heat generation/absorption on natural convection flow formation in a vertical annulus with prescribed time-periodic heating is investigated in this article. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are converted into ordinary differential equation using suitable transformations and closed form expressions are obtained for temperature distribution, velocity profile, Nusselt number, skin friction and mass flow rate in terms … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2019 · 6,335 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntelligent Sensor for Image Control Point of Eigenfaces for Face RecognitionMohamed Lamine Toure, Zou BeijiProblem statement: The sensor for image control point in Face Recognition (FR) is one of the most active research areas in computer vision and pattern recognition. Its practical application includes forensic identification, access control and human computer interface. The task of a FR system is to compare an input face image against a database containing a set of face samples … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 6,974 accessesView PDF Cite
