Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Exploration Using a Three-Axis Tactile Sensing InformationS. C. Abdullah, Jiro Wada, Masahiro Ohka, Hanafiah YussofProblem statement: To advance the robust object recognition of robots, we present an algorithm for object exploration based on three-axis tactile data that is necessary and sufficient for the evaluation of contact phenomena. Approach: The object surface contour is acquired by controlling the finger position so that the normal force, measured by optical three-axis tactile sensors, remains constant as two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 7,318 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Zeolite A from By-Product of Aluminum Etching Process: Effects of Reaction Temperature and Reaction Time on Pore VolumeKanokorn Hussar, Sombat Teekasap, Nisakorn SomsukProblem statement: Increasing of the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere creates a global warming. Zeolite is used as CO2 absorbent. Approach: By-products from aluminum etching process, which carry a large amount of Al2O3 content, are useable as raw materials for synthesis zeolites type A using hydrogel process. A pore volume of zeolites is the key to achieve high … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,840 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy and Characteristics of different Methods of Coccidiosis Infection in Broiler ChickensM.A. Elmusharaf, H.E. Mohamed, A. Alhaidary, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: Different methods of experimental infection of broiler chickens with Eimeria species have been described in the literature. These methods had not been compared and contrasted so as to contribute to the selection of the most appropriate model of coccidiosis in broiler chickens. Identifying such a model was important to speed up the screening of potential coccidiostatics. Approach: In … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,843 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Zeolite from Aluminium Etching By-Product: the Effect of Reaction Temperature on Crystallinity and Its CO2 Adsorption PropertyKanokorn Hussaro, Supaporn Douglas, Noppadon CheamsawatThe synthesis of zeolite from the by-product of aluminium etching process was investigated. The starting by-product reactant had high aluminium content, 92.17% wt. as Al2O3. Si and Na compositions were adjusted by the addition of sodium metasilicate, in the hydrogel process.The reaction time was fixed at 1 h., while the stirring speed was controlled at 200 rpm. and the temperature … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,527 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Inclination Angle on Performance Limit of a Closed-End Oscillating Heat PipeT. Hudakorn, P. Terdtoon, P. SakulchangsatjataiThis study presents the effect of inclination angle on the performance limit of a Closed-End Oscillating Heat Pipe (CEOHP). The study was divided into 2 corresponding parts. The first part was visual study. The CEOHP was made of Pyrex glass tube with the inner diameter of 1.0 mm, evaporator length of 50 mm and had 10 meandering turns. The lengths … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,522 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Depth Estimation System for Laboratory Studies using Video ImageryAlec Torres, Rodolfo SilvaA simple video-based system has been developed for depth estimation based on wave propagation characteristics. A numerical simulation of a long-crested monochromatic wave propagating over a beach with straight and parallel contours is used for testing the depth inversion system. An oblique video, simulating field conditions, is recorded, digitized and rectified for its further analysis. Pixel intensity time series from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,659 accessesView PDF Cite
