Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Optimization Methods to Determine the Rate Constants of a Complex Chemical Reaction Using FORTRAN and MATLABAbdel-Latif Aboul Seoud, Lamiaa A.M. AbdallahProblem statement: For chemical reactions, the determination of the rate constants is both very difficult and a time consuming process. The aim of this research was to develop computer programs for determining the rate constants for the general form of any complex reaction at a certain temperature. The development of such program can be very helpful in the control of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification Approach of Fuzzy Logic Model for Predicting of Cutting Force When Machining Nickel Based Hastelloy C-276Basim A. Khidhir, Bashir Mohamed, Mahmoud A.A. YounisProblem statement: Most Nickel based Hastelloy C-276 is a difficult-to-machine material because of its low thermal diffusive property and high strength at high temperature. Machinability consideration of nickel based Hastelloy C-276 in turning operations has been carried out using ceramic inserts under dry conditions. Approach: This study described a modification approach applied to a fuzzy logic based model for predicting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmobilization of Lipase from Candida rugosa on Chitosan Beads for Transesterification ReactionM. Nasratun, H. A. Said, A. Noraziah, A.N. Abd AllaProblem statement: Further study is recommended to improve the immobilization technique and the immobilized lipase’s performance as catalysis in transesterification reaction. Approach: To investigate the ability of immobilized lipase on chitosan beads to catalyze the transesterification of cooking oil to an ester. The porous bead of chitosan was used for immobilization of lipase from Candida rugosa by physical adsorption. Parameters … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Reliability and Productivity of an Aluminum Extruder by Implementation of Direct Torque Control TechnologyMazouz A. SalahatProblem statement: The linear motor drive is widely used in driving an extrusion puller in an aluminum extrusion industry. The main disadvantage of this drive is manual and step-wise torque control. This research was done to replace the linear motor drive by AC drive with direct torque control technology. Approach: Mathematical calculations were carried to select an AC drive which … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Urban Land Development Using Multi-Criteria Decision Model and Geographical Information System (A Case Study of Babolsar City)Sedigheh Lotfi, Kiomarth Habibi, Mohammad Javad KoohsariProblem Statement: The unplanned physical expansion of cities has been one of the most important problems of urban management in developing countries. Iran, like other developing world has experienced a high level of urbanization growth which transformed the physical fabric of urban areas. North of Iran is one of most rapid growing region of the country where the moderate climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Critical Review of Global Wind Power GenerationT. Ahilan, Dr. K.P. Mohammed, Dr. S. ArumughamThis research begins with an overview of wind development and installation-related trends, including trends in capacity growth. Development of wind power has reached a level of maturity, which could be taken upon for further novelty and growth in meeting the future energy needs in much greater proportion. Current research techniques are producing stronger, lighter and more efficient blades for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlteration of the Aquifer Water in Hyperarid Climate, by Wastewater: Cases of Groundwater from Ouargla (Northern Sahara, Algeria)Djidel Mohamed, Bousnoubra-Kherici Houria, Kherici Nacer, Nezli Imed-EddineThe present study is registered, on the area of Ouargla (the Sahara septentrional, Algeria) reports of the aquifer contamination by the anarchistic urban rejections. By its geomorphology (basin), its hyperarid climate and the presence of chotts, the area is subjected to an important degree of vulnerability, encouraged by the discharges of wastewater (domestic and irrigation). These factors expose aquifer's water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Stages of Maturity and Ripening Conditions on the Biochemical Characteristics of TomatoK.M. Moneruzzaman, A.B.M.S. Hossain, W. Sani, M. SaifuddinAn experiment was carried out to evaluate the biochemical characteristics of tomato in different maturity stages and ripening conditions. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) fruits (cv. Ruma VF) were harvested at the three maturity stages viz., mature green, half ripen and full ripen and stored at three condition control (without covering), straw covering and CaC2 + straw covering. At that time … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,046 accessesView PDFCite
