Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWork Performance of MB Trac 900 Tractor on Mountains Terrain in TurkeyTolga Ozturk, Murat DemirThe forestry works mainly involves such various stages as growing, protection, production, wood harvesting, marketing and utilization of forest products. Wood harvesting is performed by completion of cutting, extraction and transporting stages. The most obvious feature of wood harvesting is that the operations are done under various weather conditions open in the field. The measurements and observations were made on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Difference Solution for Precooling Process of Fish PackagesK. A. Abbas, F. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure convection heat transfer in slab shaped fresh water fish pieces. A generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form and an optimized scheme of the solutions was worked out. A fully explicit finite difference scheme, an implicit finite difference scheme and different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDepth Estimation of 2-D Magnetic Anomalous Sources by Using Euler Deconvolution MethodM. G.E. Dawi, Liu Tianyou, Shi Hui, Luo DapengEuler deconvolution method is the method of depth estimation which is best suited for anomalies caused by isolating and multiple anomalous sources. In the present study, algorithmic programs based on generalizing linear inverse theory, uses a least square sense to solve for Euler’s equation is being written. The Euler technique that can estimate the location of a simple body from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChildren Perception on TV Advertisement: The Impact of Age, Gender and Parental InfluenceAhasanul Haque, Ali KhatibiThis study examined two components of understanding TV advertising: the recognition of the difference between programmes and commercials and the comprehension of advertising intent. ANOVA analyses were performed to assess the effect on age, gender, parent-child interaction and parental control over children of TV programme watching. Research found that majority of children aged between five and eight have some understanding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Outlier Detection in Linear RegressionNethal K. Jajo, Xizhi WuNew methodology of robust outlier detection based on Robustly Studentized Robust Residuals (RSRR) examination is well established in linear regression analysis. Two new robust location estimators of linear regression parameters are developed in simple and multiple cases. Based on these robust estimators we obtain RSRR. We used RSRR to derive a new measure of distance to be used in outlier … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariation in the Thickness of A Fluid Interface Due to Internal Wave Propagation: A Lattice Boltzmann SimulationJ.M. Buick, D.B. Hann, J.A. CosgroveThe change in the thickness of an interface between two immiscible fluids due to the propagation of an internal capillary-gravity wave along the interface is considered using a Bhatnagar, Gross and Krook (BGK) lattice Boltzmann model of a binary of fluid. The vertical thickness of the interface is recorded from the simulations since this is the most easily measured quantities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
