Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,786 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleE-Business Barriers in Iran's Free Trade ZonesMohammad Ali Sarlak, Asghar Abolhasani HastianiCurrently there are 24 free trade and special economic zones in Iran. Problem Statement: of these zones is lack of e-business and this is in spite of managements' desire to have proper infrastructure for e-business in these zones. The goal of this study is to determine and explain e-business barriers in free trade and special economic zones in Iran. Approach: … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,596 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalytical and Numerical Analysis of Free Bulge Tube HydroformingF. Djavanroodi, M. Gheisary, H. Zoghi-shalFree bulge hydroforming simulation was analysied to investigate the biaxial behavior of extruded aluminum tubes. A finite element model was constructed to simulate the hydroforming process and asses the influence of friction between die walls and tube, tube material properties and springback of formed tube. It was found that material hardening coefficient had the most significant influence on formability characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,868 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemoving Useless Productions of a Context Free Grammar through Petri NetMansoor Al-A'ali, Ali A. KhanFollowing the proposal for a Petri Net (PN) representation of the Context Free Grammar (CFG)[1], we propose in this paper, an algorithm to eliminate the useless productions of CFG. First the CFG is represented by a PN. Then, based on the reachability, an algorithm is developed to eliminate Useless-productions. The algorithm is analyzed and implemented in Pascal using examples of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,674 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFree Vibration Analysis of a Cross-Ply Laminated Composite Beam on Pasternak FoundationR. A. Jafari-Talookolaei, M. T. AhmadianIn this study, free vibration analysis of a cross-ply laminated composite beam (LCB) on Pasternak foundation was investigated. Natural frequencies of beam on Pasternak foundation are computed using finite element method (FEM) on the basis of Timoshenko beam theory. Effect of both shear deformation and rotary inertia are implemented in the modeling of stiffness and mass matrices. The model was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 7,166 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of North America Free Trade Agreement on Mexican Environmental Policy (1994-2004)Ningu J. Kenneth, Jorge Torres Jácome, Sonia E.S. Gomez, Pérez ÁvilesThe scope of this study was to analyze the implementation of the environmental policy and the way Mexico has integrated the environmental aspects into a North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). We are aware of the fact that many environmental costs do not necessarily reflect the environmental damage. Environmental costs are often defined by determining either the willingness of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,363 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Observation Study for Cold and Freezing Injury of Sugarcane Based on China Meteorological Administration Land Data Assimilation System, CLDAS Temperature DataYanli Chen, Yongming Luo et al.Based on the China meteorological administration Land Surface Data Assimilation System (CLDAS), the CLDAS temperature product is examined and analyzed using remote sensing information, and a revised temperature model is established for the monitoring and evaluation of sugarcane chilling and freezing damage. The results show that: (1) The CLDAS temperature products are highly positively correlated with the measured temperatures of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2023 · 5,002 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Influence of Various Combinations of Aging and Freezing/Defrosting Modes on the Quality Indicators of Saanen Goat MeatUrishbay Chomanov, Gulmira Kenenbay, Alibek Tursynov et al.The paper evaluates the effect of various combinations of aging and freezing/defrosting on the water-holding capacity (drip loss, purge loss, and cook loss) and tenderness of four types of goat meat muscles (M. longissimus dorsi, M. latisimus dorsi, M. Semimembranosus, M. gluteobiceps). Samples obtained from 35 goat carcasses after five weeks of storage under different conditions were studied: (1) Aging … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 4 · 24 Aug 2023 · 5,054 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Different Freezing Curves on the Acrosome Integrity of Male Goat Sperm CellsSofia Alexandra Fagundes Lopes, Henrique José Duarte Rosa, António Chaveiro, Fernando Moreira da SilvaThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three different freezing curves on male goat’s sperm viability and acrosome integrity. Semen was collected on three adult male goats in February (Azores, Portugal, latitude 38°39′N) using an artificial vagina and a female with induced heat. Three collection sessions were spaced of approximately 5 days. The study followed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2021 · 6,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMissouri Spring Freeze Event and Crop Loss Analysis for the Years 1982-2015Mirza Mohd Shahriar Maswood, Ali Koleiny, Scott Nickell et al.A spring freeze is an unexpected freeze event occurring in late spring that can result in severe domestic crop loss. These events coincide with seasonal weather conditions that promote early crop development. As a consequence, early growth is most susceptible to freeze damage. Spring temperature fluctuations pose significant threat to crop yield and growth, when compared to onsistently cold springtime … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 4 May 2018 · 8,737 accessesView PDF Cite
