Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Playing Surface and Shoe Type on ACL Tears in Soccer PlayersMelissa M. Mansfield, Ronald B. BucinellToday, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most prevalent knee injuries, with the occurrence of ACL tears increasing drastically from approximately 80 000 in 2000 to 150 000 in 2011. Although there are many factors that contribute to an ACL tear occurring, certain environmental factors could contribute to the dramatic increase over the past couple decades, especially … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2016 · 12,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part II: Effect of Laser Beam Power on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe surface hardness has an important effect on the wear resistance of different materials. The present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel through the application of laser surface melting with suitable conditions. The laser beam power and travelling speed are the main factors that affect the properties of the treated zone. In this study, three different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA CASE FOR HYBRID INSTRUCTION ENCODING FOR REDUCING CODE SIZE IN EMBEDDED SYSTEM-ON-CHIPS BASED ON RISC PROCESSOR CORESGovindarajalu Bakthavatsalam, K. M. MehataEmbedded computing differs from general purpose computing in several aspects. In most embedded systems, size, cost and power consumption are more important than performance. In embedded System-on-Chips (SoC), memory is a scarce resource and it poses constraints on chip space, cost and power consumption. Whereas fixed instruction length feature of RISC architecture simplifies instruction decoding and pipeline implementation, its undesirable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 23 Nov 2013 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydrogen Addition on Diesel Engine Operation and NOx Emission: A Thermodynamic StudyPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Sompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: The worldwide increasing energy demand and the environmental problem due to greenhouse gas emission, especially produced from fossil fuel combustion, have promoted research work to solve these crises. Diesel engine has proven to be one of the most effective energy conversion systems. It is widely used for power generation, land vehicles and marine power plant.
