Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeanness Achievement through People Development System in Implementing Lean Process ManagementA. P. Puvanasvaran, C. H. Tay, M. H.M.A. Megat et al.Problem Statement: Many organizations fail to unlock the infinite potential of their workforce. In that case there will be more overhead, with more layers of management, which in turn could cause slower reaction times in fast changing business. Employees should only start, run and optimize the process, even developing themselves with the aid of People Development Systems (PDS), when they … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeoradar Measurements for the Snow Cover DensityA. GodioGround Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow density, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) Contaminated Water by Using In situ Catalytic and Biological Combined TechniquesA. Nikpay, H. Kazemian, M. SadeghiThe hydrolysis reaction of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) into biodegradable products was studied on as-synthesized and commercial H-MFI zeolites. The effect of synthesis procedure and SiO2/Al2O3 ratio was investigated. The results obtained were indicated that H-MFI zeolites were effective in MTBE hydrolysis and increasing of the Si/Al ratio promotes the hydrolysis reaction. The amount of produced TBA was always lower … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Group Control of Distributed Static Series CompensatorsPoria Fajri, Saeed Afsharnia, Daryoush Nazarpour, Mohammad Ali TavallaeiThis study investigates the new concept of Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC); a small, light weight cylinder that clamps directly onto the transmission line conductor and has the ability to alter the impedance of the power lines in order to increase power transfer capability and maximize economic value of the transmission system. A graphic-based simulation model of the DSSC is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2008 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Concentration Levels from the Mina Al-Fahal Refinery in Oman Using Artificial Neural NetworksSabah A. Abdul-Wahab, Saleh M. Al-AlawiIn this investigation, two Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were applied for predicting ground-level sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the Sultanate of Oman in order to provide an early warning advisory for the protection of public health. The objective of the first model (Model I) was to use ANN to predict sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels at certain receptors from the Mina … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Photooxidation Pathways of Dicarboxylic Acids in Atmospheric DropletsL.M. Yang, L.E. Yu, M.B. RayLow molecular weight (LMW) dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) have received increasing attention because of their hygroscopic properties and capability of acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Based on the concentration profiles of intermediates identified during laboratory photooxidation of C7-C9 DCAs in a liquid-phase reaction system, chemometric analyses were conducted to examine the degradation pathways of DCAs for the formation of secondary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Simulation in Engine Cylinder with Spring MeshM.H. Shojaeefard, A.R. NoorpoorThis investigation presents results from numerical simulation of the air flow in Spark Ignition Engine (SI engine) cylinder. Accurate modeling of the flow in cylinder is a key part of successful combustion simulation. The most usual numerical method in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is finite volume. In this investigation an important, common fluid flow patterns in CFD simulations, namely, Tumble … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInput-Output Feedback Linearization Cascade Controller Using Genetic Algorithm for Rotary Inverted Pendulum SystemIraj Hassanzadeh, Saleh Mobayen, Abbas HarifiThe Rotary Inverted Pendulum (RIP) system is a significant classical problem of control engineering which has been investigated in the past decades. This study presents an optimum Input- Output Feedback Linearization (IOFL) cascade controller utilized Genetic Algorithm (GA). Due to the non-minimum phase behavior of the system, IOFL controller leads to unstable internal dynamics. Therefore a cascade structure is proposed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReed Solomon Coding for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum in Jamming EnvironmentOthman Sidek, Abid YahyaFrequency hopping spread spectrum with noncoherent M-ary frequency shift keying system is considered. In this study Reed Solomon codes RS (255, 223) are employed in a standard error correction role to provide some Anti-Jamming (AJ) capability with 8-bit symbols. Noise has been added to RS encoded data, which is demodulated at RS decoder perfectly. Matlab simulations have been implemented for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Protein Fold Recognition AlgorithmsMohammed Said Abual-Rub, Rosni AbdullahProblem statement: Predicting the tertiary structure of proteins from their linear sequence is really a big challenge in biology. This challenge is related to the fact that the traditional computational methods are not powerful enough to search for the correct structure in the huge conformational space. This inadequate capability of the computational methods, however, is a major obstacle in facing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
