Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bio-Oil: A By-Product from Slow Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesK. H. Khor, K. O. Lim, Z. A. ZainalProblem statement: Oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundant biomass in Malaysia. Studies about production of biofuels using slow pyrolysis of EFB are still lacking. So, this study was aimed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the bio-oil and its simple blends. Approach: EFB was slow pyrolysed with internal heating at terminal temperature of 600°C in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFemtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic PropertiesA. A. BolonkinProblem statement: At present the term 'nanotechnology' is well known-in its' ideal form, the flawless and completely controlled design of conventional molecular matter from molecules or atoms. Such a power over nature would offer routine achievement of remarkable properties in conventional matter and creation of metamaterials where the structure not the composition brings forth new powers of matter. But even … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Short-term Management Strategy for Improving Transit Network EfficiencyAmir Samimi, Hedayat Z. Aashtiani, Abolfazl (Kouros) MohammadianImproving the service quality of the public transport systems has always been an interesting research area in the field of transportation planning. Public transit system expansion and enhancement has been known as a recognized way to improve congested metropolitan areas. In order to make a transit system more attractive to people, both long and short term management strategies should be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Digital Count-Down Display on Signalized Junction PerformanceM. R. Ibrahim, M. R. Karim, F. A. KidwaiIntersections are bottleneck in the highway networks and critical determinant of system’s capacity and safety. Recently, several countdown timers had been installed at intersections in Kuala Lumpur and some other cities in Malaysia. The function of these timers is to aid drivers to judge the amount of time left for them to get the green signal for moving (starting) their … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombustion Analysis of a CI Engine Performance Using Waste Cooking Biodiesel Fuel with an Artificial Neural Network AidGholamhassan NAJAFI, Barat GHOBADIAN, Talal F. YUSAF, Hadi RAHIMIA comprehensive combustion analysis has been conducted to evaluate the performance of a commercial DI engine, water cooled two cylinders, in-line, naturally aspirated, RD270 Ruggerini diesel engine using waste vegetable cooking oil as an alternative fuel. In order to compare the brake power and the torques values of the engine, it has been tested under same operating conditions with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Assessment of a Diesel Engine Under Variable Stroke Length and Constant Compression RatioJehad A.A. Yamin, Eyad S.M. Abu-NamehIn the light of the energy crisis and the stringent environmental regulations, diesel engines are offering good hope for automotive vehicles. However, lot of work is needed to reduce the diesel exhaust emissions and give the way for full utilization of the diesel fuel's excellent characteristics. This paper presents a theoretical study on the effect of variable stroke length technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDC Motor Control Predictive ModelsRavinesh Singh, Godfrey C. Onwubolu, Krishnileshwar Singh, Ritnesh RamDC motor speed and position controls are fundamental in vehicles in general and robotics in particular. This study presents a mathematical model for correlating the interactions of some DC motor control parameters such as duty cycle, terminal voltage, frequency and load on some responses such as output current, voltage and speed by means of response surface methodology. For this exercise, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Development of Sensor Based Traffic Light SystemA. Albagul, M. Hrairi, Wahyudi, M. F. HidayathullahThe main object of this study was to design and implement a suitable algorithm and its simulation for an intelligent traffic signal simulator. The system developed is able to sense the presence or absence of vehicles within certain range by setting the appropriate duration for the traffic signals to react accordingly. By employing mathematical functions to calculate the appropriate timing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 6 Mar 2006 · 8,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Traffic Flow and Management at Un-signalized, Signalized and Roundabout Road IntersectionsR. Kakooza, L.S. Luboobi, J.Y.T. MugishaTraffic congestion continues to hinder economic and social development and also has a negative impact on the environment. A simple mathematical model is used to analyze the different types of road intersections in terms of their Performance in relation to managing traffic congestion and to establish the condition for stability of the road intersections after sufficiently longer periods of time … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,611 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Airbags, New Devices to Save Lives in Earthquakes, Tornados and Similar Disasters Resulting from Building CrashesAmir Hashem Shahidi BonjarEarthquake Airbag (EA) is a new terminology being introduced for the earthquake literature of the world. According to literature surveys, this terminology has not been used previously. Based on many scientific reports, fatality rates are lower in vehicles equipped with airbags than unequipped ones. Accordingly, it was postulated that similar structures can be adopted in buildings to protect people and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
