Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Successive Overrelaxation MethodI. K. YoussefProblem statement: A new variant of the Successive Overrelaxation (SOR) method for solving linear algebraic systems, the KSOR method was introduced. The treatment depends on the assumption that the current component can be used simultaneously in the evaluation in addition to the use the most recent calculated components as in the SOR method. Approach: Using the hidden explicit characterization of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Feb 2012 · 12,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Foliage Supplementation to Calves on the Viability and Egg Count of Haemonchus contortus NematodesJuan López, Esteban Machín, Arturo Zentella et al.Thirty early-weaned 5±3 month-old calves with an average body weight of 96±23 kg were used; 24 were artificially infested with 90 larvae (L3), of H. contortus per kilogram body weight. Calves grazed on African Star Grass (Cynodon plectostachyus) from 0600 to 1300 hours. Grazing was supplemented with lucerne hay (Medicago sativa) or cassava foliage (Manihot esculenta), and 500 g-1 head-1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Dynamics of Tuberculosis Transmission in Children and AdultsF. Nyabadza, M. KgosimoreProblem statement: The fight Against Tuberculosis (TB) has mainly focused on the adult population because children were perceived to pose a very low risk in TB transmission. This assumption ignores the potential risk children had as reservoirs of latent infections from which future cases evolve when they become adults. It was therefore important to investigate the dynamics of TB taking … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2012 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariational Homotopy Perturbation Method for the Zakharove-Kuznetsov EquationsMashaallah Matinfar, Maryam GhasemiProblem statement: In this research, the Variational Homotopy Perturbation Method (VHPM) which is a combination of Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) used for the Zakharove-Kuznetsov equations (ZK-equations). Approach: These two methods are proposed by chinese researcher J.H.He. M.A.Noor improved these two methods and established the VHPM. The numerical solution of ZK-equation is of great importance dut … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2010 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Dietary Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans on Clinical Signs of Canine Osteoarthritis in a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled TrialA.C. Beynen, E. LegersteeProblem statement: There are indications for a beneficial effect of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans on the clinical signs of dogs with osteoarthritis. Data from a controlled trial were necessary to prove or disprove the indications. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of a preparation of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in the treatment of osteoarthritis. With the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,113 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 accessAll words, across the recordApplication of Optimal Control to the Epidemiology of Fowl Pox Transmission Dynamics in PoultryUdofia Ekere Sunday, Inyama Simeon ChiomaProblem statement: In this study, we present the mathematical model of the transmission dynamics of fowl pox infection in poultry. Approach: It describes the interaction between the susceptible and the infected birds which results in a system of ordinary differential equation. Introducing the control which represents the effort in applying chemoprophylaxis control u1 and treatment control u2 in birds with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2012 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordQuantum Mechanical Calculation of the Optical Absorption of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles by Density Functional TheoryElham Gharibshahi, Elias SaionProblem statement: Metal nanoparticles confine the motion of conduction electrons and exhibit a strong optical absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the UV-vis-NIR region. The absorption is classically derived from the collective oscillations of free electrons in a metallic nanostructure as a consequence of incident electromagnetic radiation polarizing the particle optically embedded in a dielectric matrix. These oscillations, known as the … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 16,193 accessesView PDFCite
