Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Direct Current and Temperature Stresses of Low-Voltage ZnO Based Varistor CeramicsM. G.M. Sabri, B. Z. Azmi, Zahid Rizwan et al.Problem statement: The stresses to humidity, DC and AC bias, multiple impulse voltages and high temperatures are known to affect the varistor performance and it is also interesting to know the effect of both DC bias and temperature stresses at the same time. Approach: Here, the simultaneous DC and temperature stresses degradation was investigated to see the changes of nonlinear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIterative Numerical Method of Gate Turn-Off Thyristor: Comparative Study Between Si and SiCS. M. Zahim, M. Norainon, J. M. Shawal, R. I.R.M. TaufikaProblem statement: Silicon (Si) has long been the dominant semiconductor of choice for high-power, high-temperature and high-frequency device applications. However, recently, wide bandgap semiconductors, particularly Silicon Carbide (SiC) has attracted because it offers tremendous benefits over other semiconductor materials in a large number of industrial and military. A change of technology from Si to SiC will revolutionize the power electronics … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite

The objective of this study was to investigate the engine cylinder combustion temperature effect of diesel engine convert to CNG engine on variation engine speed. Problem statement: The hypothesis was that the lower performance of CNG engine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Speech Recognition Using Fusion Techniques and Adaptive FilteringS. A.R. Al-Haddad, S. A. Samad, A. Hussain et al.The study proposes an algorithm for noise cancellation by using recursive least square (RLS) and pattern recognition by using fusion method of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Speech signals are often corrupted with background noise and the changes in signal characteristics could be fast. These issues are especially important for robust speech recognition. Robustness is a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmall Size and Dual Band of a Quadratic Koch Dipole Fractal Antenna DesignFawwaz J. Jibrael, Faez F. Shareef, Wafaa S. MummoThe performance and analysis of a small size, low profile and dual band quadratic Koch curve dipole antenna was introduced. The proposed antenna design, analysis and characterization had been performed using the method of moments (MoM) technique. The radiation characteristics, VSWR, reflection coefficient and input impedance of the proposed antenna were described and simulated using 4NEC2 software package, MATLAB v7.2 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Depth Estimation System for Laboratory Studies using Video ImageryAlec Torres, Rodolfo SilvaA simple video-based system has been developed for depth estimation based on wave propagation characteristics. A numerical simulation of a long-crested monochromatic wave propagating over a beach with straight and parallel contours is used for testing the depth inversion system. An oblique video, simulating field conditions, is recorded, digitized and rectified for its further analysis. Pixel intensity time series from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Radiosensitivity Study on Chili (Capsicum annuum)Shairul Rizdiyandi Omar, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Shaharudin Saamin, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidInduced mutation by gamma irradiation has been found to be a very useful technique for crop improvement. Apart from this, the proper use of induced mutation in plant breeding has become a profitable approach. This investigation was carried out to determine the LD50 and effect of gamma rays on germination, plant height, survival percentage, root length, root dry weight and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData-Driven Forecasting Schemes: Evaluation and ApplicationsJosip Vrbanek Jr, Wilson WangA reliable multi-step predictor is very useful to a wide array of applications to forecast the behavior of dynamic systems. The objective of this paper is to develop a more robust data-driven predictor for time series forecasting. Based on simulation analysis, it is found that multi-step-ahead forecasting schemes based on step inputs perform better than those based on sequential inputs. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,568 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling and Forecasting Volatility of Returns on the Ghana Stock Exchange Using Garch ModelsFrimpong Joseph Magnus, Oteng-Abayie Eric FosuThis paper models and forecasts volatility (conditional variance) on the Ghana Stock Exchange using a random walk (RW), GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1), and TGARCH(1,1) models. The unique ‘three days a week’ Databank Stock Index (DSI) was used to study the dynamics of the Ghana stock market volatility over a 10-year period. The competing volatility models were estimated and their specification and forecast … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 7,554 accessesView PDFCite
