Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRarefied Gas Flow Modeling inside Rotating Circular CylinderN. PourmahmoudIn this study a rarefied gas flow inside a rotating circular cylinder by means of direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is investigated. A rarefied gas is supposed to be contained in a cylindrical domain, bonded by a rotational cylinder with smooth and diffuse-reflection surface. The top and bottom ends of domain is assumed to be speculary-reflecting. Special attention is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE BASED ON ADAPTIVE USER MODELING AND GROUPINGJinhyung Kim, Myunggwon Hwang, Do-Heon Jeong et al.In this study, we suggest the mobile business intelligence service based on adaptive recognition of user intention and usage patterns. This service is named as InSciTe adaptive and based on text mining and semantic web technologies. This service supports not only technology-focusing analysis and prediction but also adaptive recognition about user’s intention by semi-automatic user modeling process. By the adaptive … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 17 Sep 2013 · 6,628 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Groundwater Resources of the Morainic Amphitheatre: A Case Study in PiedmontMassimo Vincenzo Civita, Marina De Maio, Adriano FiorucciProblem statement: The risk of groundwater pollution and preservation of groundwater quality of these resources are extremely important topics, particularly at the present time in which water is becoming a limitative factor for land development. In this context the main objective of this study was the evaluation of the pollution vulnerability of groundwater in the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre (IMA), situated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Speed Simulation Using WaveletsA. H. Siddiqi, S. Khan, S. RehmanMost of the renewable energy sources have direct or indirect link with the sun. Wind is also a form of solar energy. It is initiated by uneven heating of the atmospheric air by the sun, affected from the topography and surface roughness of the earth's surface and rotation of the earth. The earth's terrain, water surfaces and vegetation cover modifies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
