Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoltage Sag Effects on the Process Continuity of a Refinery with Induction Motors LoadsTarek I. ElShennawy, Mahmoud A. El-Gammal, Amr Y. Abou-GhazalaProblem statement: Process continuity of industrial plants (like a refinery) is subjected to several shutdowns due to voltage sags causing large induction motors to trip, either by undervoltage or by overcurrent relays, sometimes by the mechanical protection. These unplanned shutdowns cost the plant tens of thousands of dollars per shutdown in addition to material damage costs, restart charges and any … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Nitric Oxide Formation in Single Cylinder Direct Injection Diesel Engine Using Diesel-Water EmulsionK. Kannan, M. UdayakumarProblem statement: Water injection into the combustion chamber of diesel engine found to be one of best method for in-cylinder control of NOx formation. Approach: The combustion of water-diesel emulsion in diesel engine was simulated using a computer program to estimate the heat release rate, cylinder pressure, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and NO formation. Results: The numerical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectroosmotic Phenomena in Organic SoilsAfshin Asadi, Bujang B.K. Huat, M. M. Hassim et al.Organic soils or peat represent an accumulation of disintegrated plant remains which have been preserved under condition of incomplete aeration and high water content. In order to develop a fundamental understanding of electroosmotic phenomena in peat, initially microelectrophoresis studies were carried out to conceptualize the electrokinetic phenomena. Then electroosmosis experiments were conducted on rigid cube samples containing 0.0001 M NaCl-water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFemtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic PropertiesA. A. BolonkinProblem statement: At present the term 'nanotechnology' is well known-in its' ideal form, the flawless and completely controlled design of conventional molecular matter from molecules or atoms. Such a power over nature would offer routine achievement of remarkable properties in conventional matter and creation of metamaterials where the structure not the composition brings forth new powers of matter. But even … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtection for an Immediate Split Structure of Tree-Based EPON Architecture-Ideal Condition AnalysisMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Siti Asma Che Aziz, Kasmiran JumariProblem statement: Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) was proposed to overcome the bandwidth bottleneck at the Access Networks due to its simplicity, cost effective and wide spread deployment. A failure in access networks can cause serious problems, because access network transmit aggregated high speed traffic from hundreds of subscribers. Protection and restoration mechanisms have been applied in backbone networks, but … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInverse Sine Phase Detector Phase Locked Loop Associated with Modified Multi Band LC Quadrature Voltage Controlled Oscillator for Wireless Communication Systems at 0.9, 1.8, 2.4, 3.5 GHzMahmoud AbdellaouiProblem statement: In this study and in consequence of the restricted performance of the multi standard wireless receiver utilizing the classical architectures, we proposed and presented a new architecture of multi band wireless receiver based on an Inverse Sine Phase Detector Phase Locked Loop (ISPDPLL) associated with modified multi band LC quadrature Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), supporting GSM/DCS/DECT/Bluetooth/WiMax systems. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Statistical Speech Segmentation Using Connectionist ApproachM. S. Salam, Dzulkifli Mohamad, S. H. SallehProblem statement: Speech segmentation is an important part for speech recognition, synthesizing and coding. Statistical based approach detects segmentation points via computing spectral distortion of the signal without prior knowledge of the acoustic information proved to be able to give good match, less omission but lot of insertion. These insertion points dropped segmentation accuracy. Approach: This study proposed a fusion … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSlantlet Transform for Multispectral Image FusionAdnan Hadi M. Al-Helali, Hamza A. Ali, Buthainah Al-Dulaimi et al.Problem statement: Image fusion is a process by which multispectral and panchromatic images, or some of their features, are combined together to form a high spatial/high spectral resolutions image. The successful fusion of images acquired from different modalities or instruments is a great importance issue in remote sensing applications. Approach: A new method of image fusion was introduced. It was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurability Assessment of Cylinder Block for Two Stroke Free Piston Linear Engine using Random LoadingM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.This research presents the durability assessment of cylinder block for a two-stroke free piston engine using narrow band approach. The life prediction results are worthy for improving the component design at the very early developing stage. This approach is adequate for periodic loading, however, requires very large time records to accurately describe random loading processes. Fatigue damage in conventionally determined … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReactive Nitrogen Intermediates Production by Macrophages of Mycobacterium bovis-Infected Goats and Supplemented with Dyhidroxyvitamin D3 in vivoAurora Martinez-Romero, Jose Luis Ortega-Sanchez, Jose Ramon Hernandez-Salgado et al.Problem statement: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's major health problems. To evaluate in vivo indices of cellular sensitization, antigen-induced Reactive Nitrogen Intermediates (RNI) responses by blood mononuclear cells from Mycobacterium bovis BCG-infected goats supplemented with 1, 25 dyhidroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25-(OH)2D3]. Approach: An experimental, longitudinal and comparative study was planned. Twelve animals of goat cattle 20-to 24-month-old sannen … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
