Approach: The main objective of this research is to investigate the thermal comfort level of an air-conditioned office room under 14 windows-door opening arrangements as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Peak Load Electricity Demand Using Statistics and Rule Based ApproachZ. Ismail, A. Yahya, K. A. MahpolProblem statement: Forecasting of electricity load demand is an essential activity and an important function in power system planning and development. It is a prerequisite to power system expansion planning as the world of electricity is dominated by substantial lead times between decision making and its implementation. The importance of demand forecasting needs to be emphasized at all level as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Combinational Circuits for Control PurposesMaher A. Nabulsi, Mohammed A.F. Al-HusainyProblem statement: Combinational circuits are used in computers for generating binary control decisions and for providing digital components for data processing. Approach: The use of combinational circuits and logic gates to control other circuits was discussed. Different systems that use logic gates, multiplexers, decoders and encoders to control different circuits were presented. This study presented a design and implementation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Temperature and Acid Concentration on Corrosion of Low Carbon Steel in Hydrochloric Acid MediaAnees A. Khadom, Aprael S. Yaro, Abdul Amir H. Kadum et al.Problem statement: The effect of different temperatures and acid concentrations on the corrosion of low carbon steel in hydrochloric acid were addressed in this study. Approach: The effect of temperature was explained by application of Arrhenius equation and transition state theory, while the acid concentration effect was explained using reaction kinetic equations. The combined effect of temperature and acid concentration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 11,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Relationship between Physical Self-Concept and Body Image Dissatisfaction in Female StudentsSirus Alipoor, Ali Moazami Goodarzi, Maryam Zarra Nezhad, Lale ZaheriProblem statement: Body image is a psychological construct which refers to self-concept including self image and feelings an individual perceives about his or her body. Body image can significantly affect the way an individual perceives about his or her body. Studies on relationship between physical self-concept and body image in some countries showed that the women's body dissatisfaction has led … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRBFNN Model for Predicting Nonlinear Response of Uniformly Loaded Paddle CantileverAbdullah H. AbdullahThe Radial basis Function neural network (RBFNN) model has been developed for the prediction of nonlinear response for paddle Cantilever with built-in edges and different sizes, thickness and uniform loads. Learning data was performed by using a nonlinear finite element program, incremental stages of the nonlinear finite element analysis were generated by using 25 schemes of built paddle Cantilevers with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Protein 3D Structure Prediction Accuracy using Dense Regions Areas of Secondary Structures in the Contact MapAmer F. Al-Badarneh, Mohammad A. Khalil, Mo'taz A. Al-HamiProblem Statement: The protein folding problem is a fundamental problem in structural molecular biology. This problem describes how a protein is transformed from its primary sequence (i.e., amino acid sequence) into the three dimensional structure (3D structure) for this sequence that determines the function of the protein. The 3D structure of a protein can be represented using a square symmetrical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Effusivity Measurement of Virgin Coconut Oil-Methanol Mixtures using Photoacoustic TechniqueFiras Kamel Mohamad Al-asfoor, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, Azmi Zakaria et al.Thermal effusivity of virgin coconut oil-methanol mixtures were measured using open photoacoustic cell technique. The samples were prepared by simply mixing virgin coconut oil and methanol using similar procedure applied for preparation of biodisel. Thermal effusivity of the sample was obtained by fitting the experimental data of photoacoustic amplitude signal to the expression of photoacoustic signal as a function of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,600 accessesView PDFCite
