Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of the Electric Power Quality and Electrical Installation Impacts on Medical Electrical Equipment Operations at Health Care FacilitiesMário César Giacco Ramos, Carlos Márcio Vieira TahanProblem statement: Medical electrical equipments at health care facilities presented malfunction and wrong medical information due to poor electric power quality and to inadequate electrical Installations. Some equipment such as X-ray, computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are considered as polluting ones due to their high amount of harmonics and voltage transients produced on the electrical power supply when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharcoal-Oil Mixture as an Alternative Fuel: A Preliminary StudyRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe fast depletion of fuel oil and continuous increase in the demand for power is a global issue. The world energy consumption is projected to grow at an average of 2.7-3.7% from 1996 to 2010. Therefore search for alternative fuel is highly prioritized. Thus this study presents the results on the characteristic of charcoal-oil mixture as an alternative fuel. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of New Load Shedding Special Protection Schemes for a Double Area Power SystemH. Seyedi, M. Sanaye-PasandIn this paper several Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) schemes are designed as special protection schemes to preserve the integrity of islands, formed following the outage of tie lines connecting two areas in a double area power system. For the purpose of analysis, the Iranian interconnected grid is simulated in a suitable power system analysis software. The grid is connected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Management Systems in Local Authorities: The Case Study of the Cesana Torinese Municipality, a Turin 2006 Olympic SiteSerena Botta, Claudio ComoglioEnvironmental certification according to the ISO 14001 standard and EMAS regulation represents an efficient tool for those organizations who want to continuously improve their environmental performances. Even though first thought up for application to the industrial section, in recent years these schemes have also proved to be valid in organizations with territorial competences, such as local authorities. The case study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHospital Wastewater Treatment Using an Integrated Anaerobic Aerobic Fixed Film BioreactorA. Rezaee, M. Ansari, A. Khavanin et al.The design and operation of wastewater treatment systems for hospital is a challenge for wastewater engineers. In this study, a pilot-scale system integrated anaerobic-aerobic fixed film reactor for hospital wastewater treatment was constructed and its performance was evaluated. The aim of the study was the elimination of organic compounds and a significant reduction of bacteria. The system had been operated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractELECTROLYSIS OF SWINE MANURE EFFLUENTS USING THREE DIFFERENT ELECTRODES Fe-Fe, Al-Al AND Fe-AlS. Rahman, M. S. BorhanSwine effluent with high organic strength need to be treated to make it suitable for applying to crop/pasture fields, or discharging to any waterways. Electrocoagulation is a relatively simpler and cheaper technique over biological and chemical treatment methods currently used to treat high-strength industrial and municipal wastewater. The performance of an electrocoagulation system mainly depends on the pH, Electrical Conductivity … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2014 · 9,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA First-Class Ticket to the Planet Mars, PleaseRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The paper presents some aspects related to the current stage in the aerospace industry, referring to the current possibilities of moving in space. The main problem that has kept mankind for so many millennia has been the less speed of movement, but also the difficult exit into outer space. For a ship to be able to defeat gravitational forces and … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2017 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSIGNED GRAPH APPROACH IN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION POWER TO ENHANCE THE LIFETIME OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSA. Babu Karuppiah, S. RajaramA Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises a collection of sensor nodes networked for applications like surveillance, battlefield, monitoring of habitat. Nodes in a WSN are usually highly energy-constrained and expected to operate for long periods from limited on-board energy reserves. When a node transmits data to a destination node the data is overheard by the nodes that are in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFPGA Implementation of Power Aware FIR Filter Using Reduced Transition Pipelined Variable Precision GatingA. Senthilkumar, A. M. NatarajanWith the emergence of portable computing and communication system, power awareness is one of the major objectives of VLSI Design. This is its ability to scale power consumption based on the time-varying nature of inputs. Even though the system is not designed for being power aware, systems display variations in power consumption as conditions change. This implies, by the definition … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordINTELLISENSE CLUSTER MANAGEMENT AND ENERGY EFFICIENT ROUTING IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKSSangeetha Kuppusamy, Natarajan MathaiyanMobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of distributed nodes which communicate using multi-hop wireless links with frequent node mobility. The aim for ad hoc networks is to accommodate light-weight weight, battery supercharged transportable devices. Due to the restricted power, we've to vogue economical ways in which to use the current power. For a networking device, vital power is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,367 accessesView PDFCite
