Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Customer Behaviour Irregularities in Cameroon Electricity Network using Support Vector MachineLekini Nkodo Claude Bernard, Ndzana Benoît, Oumarou HamandjodaNon-Technical Losses (NTLs) in the Cameroonians electricity network are approximately 30 to 40% of production and are estimated at several billion CFA francs per year for National Electricity Company (ENEO); Hence the importance of finding effective solutions to fight against these losses. The purpose of this work was to develop a tool for the fraud detection for Cameroon National Electricity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2017 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFactors Affecting Chemo-physical and Rheological Behaviour of Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 Metal Glassy Alloy Supercooled LiquidsApicella Antonio, Aversa RaffaellaSegregation by selective cold crystallizations and glass transition changes in Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 metal supercooled metastable liquid annealed at different temperatures have been theoretically correlated to melt viscosity modifications. Crystallization behavior has been found to be principally related to the high mobility and smaller Be, Cu and Ni atoms. Multiple exothermal peaks in isothermal DSC annealing’s have been observed in these bulk … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 8,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBehaviour of Rheology of Nanofluid During Convection in PipeGajanand Yadav, Subrata Kumar MajumderIn this article, the simulation of nanofluid flow in pipe and the behavior of different variables on nanofluid flow are presented. Al2O3-water of volume fraction of Al2O3 2 to 8% was considered as nanofluid for simulation. For the simulation the single phase approach is used to calculate viscosity, temperature difference on wall, Reynolds number, thermal conductivity and temperature throughout the … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2016 · 14,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBIODEGRADABILITY AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SUGAR PALM STARCH BASED BIOPOLYMERJ. Sahari, S. M. Sapuan, E. S. Zainudin, M. A. MalequeA new Sugar Palm Starch (SPS) based biopolymer was successfully developed using glycerol as plasticizer. The effect of glycerol concentration (viz., 15, 20, 30 and 40 by weight percent) to the mechanical properties of plasticized SPS biopolymer was investigated. From this investigation, it was found that the 30% glycerol concentrated biopolymer showed the highest flexural strength and impact with the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEMERGING METRONIDAZOLE RESISTANCE IN ANAEROBES AND MAPPING THEIR SUSCEPTIBILITY BEHAVIOURManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiIn the present study, anaerobic clinical isolates of Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica were obtained from different clinical specimens and were subjected to molecular typing to detect the gene encoding metronidazole resistance in these isolates. Subsequently, antibacterial activity of drugs was tested against the selected clinical isolates. A total of 53 clinical isolates involving 18 obligate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2014 · 9,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHow does a Culture of Learning Impact on Student Behaviour?Fransa WeeksProblem statement: Despite the need for a culture of learning in South African schools, research reveal that it is not generally encountered. Research also indicates the manifestation of student behavior problems constraining effective learning. Approach: This research study was directed at determining if a link existed between behavior problems and a lack of a culture of learning. The research approach … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Mar 2012 · 8,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrey-Catching Behaviour in Mudskippers and Toads: A Comparative AnalysisU. Kutschera, H. Burghagen, J. P. EwertThe invasion of land by a diverse group of fishlike amphibians during the Middle-Late Devonian was a key event in the history of life. It is obvious that the evolutionary transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial habitat was associated with physiological adaptations such as novel feeding strategies that can not be elucidated with fossils alone. Here we show that … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,639 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDensification Behaviour of a Red Firing Tunisian Triassic ClayHajer Baccour, Mounir Medhioub, Fakher Jamoussi, Taher. MhiriInvestigations were undertaken to assess the thermal modification in clay products from Triassic sedimentary deposits. This study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical, thermal analysis and faience making attributes of representative Triassic clay in the south-Eastern Tunisia. The data collected from these techniques show that illite and kaolinite are the major clay phases. The accessory minerals detected in powdered rock are; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Fasteners Disposition on Behaviour of Timber-Framed Walls with Double Fibre-Plaster Coating BoardsM.Kuhta, M.PremrovThis paper provides experimental analysis of timber-framed walls, coated with double fibre-plaster coating boards fastened to the timber frame. As the walls under a horizontal load actually behave like a deep composite beam, the fasteners disposition is very important and directly influences bearing capacity and stiffness of the wall. Therefore, three different groups of test samples with staple distances of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigating Consumer Awareness of Energy Efficiency in Saudi ArabiaSamar Khan, Hafez Abdo, Abdulrahman Al-GhabbanScholars have been interested in energy efficiency/conservation and consumer behaviour for over 35 years and research in this domain continues to grow. Energy efficiency and conservation are significant policy tools that can be introduced by governments to help save the environment. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia possesses a wealth of energy resources. The exploitation of these resources has allowed the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2015 · 9,477 accessesView PDFCite
