Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Ultra-Miniaturized Inertial Measurement Unit for Jaw Movement Analysis during Free ChewingZhuohua Lin, Massimiliano Zecca, Salvatore Sessa et al.Problem statement: Jaw movement analysis, as a clinical aid, can provide an objective basis for understanding and diagnosing jaw musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, the use and development of devices for quantitatively measuring and analyzing jaw movement have become more common and popular in the clinic. Many types of jaw tracking devices have been developed, but most of them are still not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-g Area-changed MEMS Accelerometer Using Bulk Silicon TechniqueBadariah Bais, Burhanuddin Yeop MajlisA bulk micromachined accelerometer based on an area variation capacitive sensing for low-g applications was developed. The accelerometer was designed with ribbed-style fingers structure on the movable mass connected in parallel and suspended over stationary electrodes composed of differential comb fingers by means of suspension beams anchored onto the substrate. A folded, rigid truss suspension design with low spring constant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,630 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVAR-models for Predicting BiodiversityTonio D. Bettista, S. A. Gattone, Mariagrzia GranturcoThe aim of this work is to introduce a methodology for monitoring diversity of a biological population by using the tool of diversity profiles. In particular, we develop a theory for studying the diversity profile along the temporal axis. We propose forecasting techniques for diversity profile by using the VAR model on multivariate time series of abundance vector and ARMA … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,175 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Assessment of Buckling Strength for Compressed Cylindrical Shells with Interacting Localized Geometric ImperfectionsJalal El Bahaoui, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Larbi El Bakkali, Ali LimamProblem statement: Elastic cylindrical shells are common structures in the fields of civil engineering and engineering mechanics. These thin-walled constructions may undergo buckling when subjected to axial compression. Buckling limits to large extent their strength performance. This phenomenon depends hugely on the initial distributed or localized geometric imperfections that are present on the shell structure. Localized geometric imperfections result in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 8,320 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Flow Structures of Circular Pulsating Air JetRozli Zulkifli, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Shahrir Abdullah, Mohd Sobri TakriffProblem Statement: Applications of impingement jets in industry for heating and cooling purposes requires a high convective heat transfer coefficient. Numerous studies have been conducted to improve the convective heat transfer coefficient for a steady impinging jet. A pulsating jet has a very high potential in replacing steady jet after it been found able to increase the heat transfer coefficients … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,778 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Blood Turbulent Flow in Carotid Artery Including the Effects of Mural Thrombosis Using Finite Element ModelingM. Arab-Ghanbari, M. M. Khani, A. Arefmanesh, F. Tabatabai-GhomsheArterial thrombosis is an extremely significant health problem. As a result of numerous factors involved in such problem, describing the role of hemodynamics in thrombogenesis has been asserted to be one of the most demanding and complicated challenges in biomechanics. An axisymmetric model considering fluid-structure interactions (FSI) was introduced and numerically solved for an artery with a thrombosis to perform … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,408 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDevelopment of an Axisymmetric Thermal Plume between Vertical PlatesJamil Zinoubi, Adel Gammoudi, Taoufik Naffouti et al.This investigation analyses the turbulent structure of a thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving between vertical plates. The objective of the study was to understand the development mechanisms of this buoyancy driven flow. The analysis of the average and the fluctuating fields of the temperature as well as the flow visualisation show the existence of three different zones. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,038 accessesView PDF Cite
