Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe State of Environmentally Sustainable Interior Design PracticeMihyun Kang, Denise A. GuerinProblem statement: Research that investigates how interior designers use environmentally sustainable interior design criteria in their design solutions has not been done. To provide a base to develop education strategies for sustainable interior design, this study examined the state of environmentally sustainable interior design practice. Approach: A national, Internet-based survey of interior design practitioners was conducted. To collect data, the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 10,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttitudes of Sultan Qaboos University Students towards Some Environmental Problems and their Willingness to Take Action to Reduce themAhmed Bin Hamad Al-Rabaani, S. S. Mohammed Al-MekhlafiProblem statement: Our earth suffers from many environmental problems which need to be tackled at the individual level, requiring individuals to develop those attitudes which will guide them to environmentally supportive behavior. The objectives of this study were to investigate (i) the attitudes of Sultan Qaboos University students to some environmental problems, (ii) their willingness to take action to ameliorate … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Aided Geometric Modeling of Twist FiberKeartisak Sriprateep, Adisak PattiyaProblem statement: The objective of this study is to compare the methods for approximating the positions of twist fiber in yarn structures. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is applied using parametric equation, spline curve and NURBS curve. The ideal twist fiber and fiber migration are studied in 3 dimensions. Approach: The fiber positions in yarn structures were measured by trace fiber … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPneumatic and Hydraulic Systems in Coal Fluidized Bed CombustorZ. O. Opafunso, I. I. Ozigis, I. A. AdetundeProblem statement: This study designed the pneumatic and hydraulic systems in coal fluidized bed combustor. These are fluidization of silica sand bed material, Air distributor, centrifugal fan, electric motor power drive and surface heat exchanger. Approach: The effects of increased gas velocity on silica sand and the resultant drag force formed the basic equations in fluidization. Air distributor was introduced … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical and Analytical Study of Exhaust Gases Flow in Porous Media with Applications to Diesel Particulate FiltersSuleiman Abu-EinProblem statement: The importance of diesel particulate filter has been increased later because of its ability in making emission reduction of the exhaust gasses. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) do two important jobs: gas emissions reduction and noise reduction, the pores spread inside the DPF store some gases and soot emissions and on the other side it prevents some sound or … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Reuse Potential of Chemical Sludge from Textile Wastewater Treatment Plants in India-A Hazardous WasteHema Patel, Suneel PandeyProblem statement: This study was conducted to explore the reuse potential of the chemical sludge (considered as hazardous waste as per Indian Government Hazardous Waste Management Rules) generated from combined effluent treatment in textile clusters. These textile clusters mainly cover the cotton dyeing and printing operations. Approach: Therefore, treatability studies of chemical sludge were conducted using solidification/stabilization treatment to examine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiffusion of Radioactive Materials in the AtmosphereAbdul-Wali Ajlouni, Manal Abdelsalam, Hussam Al-Rabai’ah, Abdullah M.S. AjlouniProblem statement: The dispersion of radioactive materials in the environment related to escaping of noble gases, halogens and aerosols of non-volatile radioactive materials, from the reactor containment during normal operations, or in the event of a sever reactor accident. Approach: radionuclide dispersion in the environment is demonstrated by mathematical tools which are the partial differential equations, mainly the diffusion equation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
