Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCohesiveness and Flowability Properties of Silica Gel PowderE.C. Abdullah, A.M. Salam, A.R. AzizProblem statement: The measurement of powder flowability is a major concern for most industrial processes that deal with the handling of bulk solids as raw materials, intermediates, or products. Approach: The influence of particle size on the flowability of silica gel was investigated using aerated and non-aerated methods. The aerated method involved the measurement of the Hausner Ratio (HR) and … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,527 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulticultural Upper Secondary School Life in Denmark: Identifications, Solidarity and CitizenshipYvonne MørckEducation has played an important role in the development of the Nordic welfare states. As in other European countries, present day Denmark wrestles with the problem of finding ways to handle the increased diversity of its population in terms of, for instance, ethnicity, religion and language. Hence, negotiations and contestations about how to operationalize different forms of multiculturalism on all … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,037 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Shear Strength and Soil Water Characteristic Curve of an Unsaturated Granitic Residual SoilThamer Ahmed Mohamed, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. Hashim, Bujang B.K. HuatShear strength parameters are crucial for stability analyses of slopes against slope failures and landslides. The three shear strength parameters that are required to define a failure envelope of an unsaturated soil are c’ (apparent cohesion), Φ’ (effective angle of friction) and Φb (shear strength change with change in matric suction). A soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,350 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Assessments of the Software Architectures of Configuration Management SystemsAbhay Kothari, A. K. Ramani, P. K. ChandeThe Configuration Management (CM) is a very important area of concentration in software development and maintenance processes. Quality parameters for Configuration Management Tools’ architectural designs require rigorous identification and measurement. Two methods for quantitative assessment of quality parameters of the software architectures are proposed. These methods are based upon modularization properties, like, cohesion type, coupling type, module complexity, module size … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,812 accessesView PDF Cite
