Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPERFORMANCE STUDIES ON DOWNDRAFT GASIFIER WITH BIOMASS ENERGY SOURCES AVAILABLE IN REMOTE VILLAGESV. ChristusJeya Singh, S. Joseph Sekhar, K. ThyagarajanIncreasing global concern over the environmental issues and depletion of fossil fuels, significant interest has been shown by the researchers to develop alternate energy technologies like biomass, biogas, solar to meet the future energy demand. The prediction of the performance of different biomass energy sources in gasifiers is needed for the implementation of this technology to fulfil the need of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNON-COOPERATIVE IRIS RECOGNITION: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SEGMENTATION AND FAKE IDENTIFICATIONM. Rajeev Kumar, M. Dilsath Fathima, K. Kiruthika, M. S. SaravananIris recognition, the ability to recognize and distinguish individuals by their pattern, is the most reliable biometric in terms of recognition and identification performance. However, performance of these systems is affected by the heterogeneous images (regarding focus, contrast, or brightness) and with several noise factors (iris obstruction and reflection) when the cooperation is not expectable from the subject. Current Iris … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntegrated Supercritical Fluid Extraction and BioprocessingOwen Catchpole, Stephen Tallon, Peter Dyer et al.Supercritical fluids are increasingly being used and promoted at a laboratory and pilot scale to produce high value, natural bioactives from biologically based raw materials. Supercritical CO2 is overwhelmingly the solvent of choice for these operations, but is largely limited to the processing of dry raw materials and the extraction of low polarity, low molecular weight compounds. The use of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 9,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Use of E100 to Fuel a Used 4-Stroke MotorcycleT. SuthisripokProblem statement: Though ethanol and gasohol are proved to be used as alternative fuels in vehicles, 4-stoke motorcycles used nationwide mainly consumed gasoline 91/95. Approach: The motorcycle tested, the used Honda Wave125 model, was properly tuned at the rich relative air-fuel ratio (λ) 0.85, which theoretically gave the maximum power output. For the use of E100, the engine required richer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNatural Sensitizer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Three Layers of Photoelectrode Thin Films with a Schottky BarrierHo Chang, Mu-Jung Kao, Tien-Li Chen et al.Problem statement: This study combines Au nanoparticles with TiO2 nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier and applies it to the photoelectrode thin film of Dye-Sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs). Approach: First, commercial TiO2 powder (Degussa P25) was put into the alkaline solution to prepare TiO nanotubes (Tnt) by a hydrothermal process. Tnt were sintered at 550° to obtain TntC550 particles and … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDietary Inclusion of Probiotics, Prebiotics and Synbiotic and Evaluating Performance of Laying HensMohammad Zarei, Mohammad Ehsani, Mehran TorkiProblem Statement: This study was conduct to compare effects of various commercial feed additives on performance of laying hens. Approach: To evaluate effects of dietary inclusion of feed additives (Yeasturer, A-Max, Thepax, Fermacto and Biomin) on performance of laying hens, 216 Lohmann LSL-Lite hens were divided in 36 cages (n = 6). Approach Hens in 6 cages (replicates) were assigned … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 9,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSecularism and Theism: A Problem of RationalityMichael RoessProblem statement: A belief prevails today that pluralist liberal societies and genuine religious belief are incompatible. Until this belief is overcome it is unlikely that progress can be made toward dialogue between liberal pluralists, who pride themselves on their open-mindedness and rationality, and religious conservatives in America and theocrats elsewhere who esteem their devotion equally highly. Approach: Compare the rationality … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiodegradation and Recycling of Urban Solid WasteS. P. Gautam, P. S. Bundela, A. K. Pandey et al.Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. The proposed study attempted to proper management, physicochemical analysis of Urban Solid Waste (USW) and its conversion to enriched compost by ecofriendly process. Approach: For this study, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCombustion Temperature Effect of Diesel Engine Convert to Compressed Natural Gas EngineSemin, Abdul Rahim Ismail, Rosli Abu BakarEffect of combustion temperature in the engine cylinder of diesel engine convert to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engine was presents in this study. The objective of this study was to investigate the engine cylinder combustion temperature effect of diesel engine convert to CNG engine on variation engine speed. Problem statement: The hypothesis was that the lower performance of CNG engine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Diesel Engine Converted to Sequential Port Injection Compressed Natural Gas Engine on the Cylinder Pressure vs Crank Angle in Variation Engine SpeedsSemin, Abdul Rahim Ismail, Rosli Abu BakarThe diesel engine converted to compressed natural gas (CNG) engine effect is lower in performance. Problem statement: The hypothesis is that the lower performance of CNG engine is caused by the effect of lower in engine cylinder pressure. Are the CNG engine is lower cylinder pressure than diesel engine? This research is conducted to investigate the cylinder pressure of CNG … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,250 accessesView PDFCite
