Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Inorganic Ion-exchange Material for the Selective Removal of Fluoride from Potable Water Using Ion-selective ElectrodeRasheed M.A.Q. JamhourAn ion-exchange procedure involving the selective retention of fluoride ions from aqueous solutions containing 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 mg F- L-1 using a new inorganic ion exchanger zirconium(IV) oxide-ethanolamine ZrO-EA and its application to fluoride removal from potable water has been described. A column equilibrium studies, batch process and different analytical parameters such as concentration, pH and temperature … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon Destructive Tests of Structural Bonds by Guided Ultrasonic Waves: Effect of a Surface Pretreatment or a Localized DefectValentina Vlasie, Martine RousseauThe aim of this study was to propose a non destructive method to test the mechanical quality of a bond aluminium/epoxy/aluminium. Thus, for each aluminium/epoxy interface, an intermediate interface modelling between a simple geometrical interface and an interphase (3D material medium), i.e. a 2D material medium. In order to describe the surface stresses, we introduce the surface free energy (the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Modulation Scaling Scheme for Quality of Services Ensurance in Wireless Sensor NetwoksYong Yuan, Zongkai Yang, Jianhua HeEnergy consumption has been a key concern of data gathering in wireless sensor networks. Previous research works show that modulation scaling is an efficient technique to reduce energy consumption. However, such technique will also impact on both packet delivery latency and packet loss, therefore, may result in adverse effects on the qualities of applications. In this study, the problem of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtended IOWG Operator and its Use in Group Decision Making Based on Multiplicative Linguistic Preference RelationsZeshui XuIn [1], Xu and Da introduced the Induced Ordered Weighted Geometric (IOWG) operator, which takes as its argument pairs, called OWG pairs, in which one component is used to induce an ordering over the second components which are exact numerical values and then aggregated. In this study, we develop an extended IOWG (EIOWG) operator, in which the second components are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFriction Forces in O-ring SealingAl-Ghathian, Faisal M.M. Tarawneh, S. MuafagIn the present study the focus was on developing a relationship as practical and convenient option for computing the friction force in O-ring sealing elements as used in the hydraulic and pneumatic equipments. For low-pressure applications, the developed relationship was applied for a different number of O-ring diameters, by investigating the obtained results, a good agreement has been observed for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Polyelectrolyte in Turbidity Removal from Surface WaterA. H. Mahvi, M. RazaviOne of the most important treatment processes in surface water treatment plants is coagulation. Surface waters such as rivers and lakes contain suspended particles and turbidity. With the aid of coagulants, and by flocculation process, followed by sedimentation and filtration, these impurities can be removed from raw waters these days, besides conventional chemicals such as Alum and Ferric chloride, polymers … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 8,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending UML-RT for Control System ModelingQimin Gao, L. J. Brown, L. F. CapretzThere is a growing interest in adopting object technologies for the development of real-time control systems. Several commercial tools, currently available, provide object-oriented modeling and design support for real-time control systems. While these products provide many useful facilities, such as visualization tools and automatic code generation, they are all weak in addressing the central characteristic of real-time control systems design, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
