Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution and Determining of Urban Sprawl in Kerman with Emphasis on Kariz Water SystemAli Hosseini, Mohammad Shabanifard, Mostafa Rashidi, Mamohammad Reza SaiydzadeProblem statement: Urban sprawl is one of the contemporary issues of cities all over the world. The Kariz system consists of underground channels that convey water from aquifers in highlands to the surface at lower levels by gravity. The problem of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions is one of low rainfall and uneven distribution throughout the season, which … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,632 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPore Water Pressure Contribution to Debris Flow MobilityChiara DeangeliProblem statement: Debris flows are very to extremely rapid flows of saturated granular soils. Two main types of debris flow are generally recognized: Open slope debris flows and channelized debris flows. The former is the results of some form of slope failures, the latter can develop along preexisting stream courses by the mobilization of previously deposited debris blanket. The problem … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydraulic Characteristics and Pore Water Flow Rule in Constant Rate of Strain ConsolidationA. Ahmadi, A. H. Hoorfar, H. Rahimi, A. SoroushProblem statement: At present study Constant Rate of Strain (CRS) consolidation under Non-Darcy condition was investigated. Approach: In this study a governing conditions on pore water flow were investigated using proposed equation and experimental tests. CRS experiments under different rates of strain were conducted on different soil samples. Results: Results of these experiments and there comparison with proposed equation showed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasic Theoretical Backgrounds of the Engineering Design Procedure of a Drying PlantJamil Sami HaddadProblem statement: This study was made to reduce energy consumption and increase productivity of drying process in many industries, to achieve the required aim, design arithmetic methods and choose the parameters of the drying machine and computing additional factors including characteristics of materials and air flow effect. Approach: The design of these types of dryers did not include the addressed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,494 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lateral Reaction of a Deformable Inclined Surface on a Wheel with an Elastic TrunkSayel M. Fayyad, Suleiman Abu-Ein, Waleed MomaniProblem statement: This study is concerned with a very important problem belonging in the effects of deformable inclined surfaces on a wheel with an elastic trunk. These effects can be represented by two effects: A lateral withdrawal of the trunk and lateral shift of the ground. Also this study aims to study these effects and analyze them mathematically to find … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,339 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Slope Geometry on Flowslide OccurrenceChiara DeangeliThe paper reports a study aimed to the prediction of susceptibility to flowslide of granular soil slopes as a consequence of the in situ state of stress. In particular, the slope geometry has been investigated as a factor influencing the initial state of stress. For this purpose the results of numerical models, performed by a finite different approach (FLAC), allowed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Geometry and Dimensionless Parameters on Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Closed–end Oscillating Heat-pipe at Vertical PositionS. Rittidech, K. PhalasinThis heat transfer characteristics of a closed-end oscillating heat-pipe (CEOHP) depend on a number of parameters. They are the number of turns, inner diameter of the tube, aspect ratio and the dimensionless parameters of heat transfer. The CEOHPs used to employ a copper tube with inner diameter of 0.66, 1.09 and 2.03 mm. The lengths of the evaporator, adiabatic and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspect-Based Sentiment Classification for Detecting the Cognitive Triad Mechanism of DepressionShreekant Jere, Annapurna P PatilThe cognitive triad mechanism of Beck’s cognitive theory is critical for early diagnosis and prognosis of depression. According to the cognitive triad mechanism, negative views about the self, the future, and the world appear to be routine in depressed people, occurring spontaneously. The challenge in the clinical interview is that the individuals may have trouble explaining their past and current … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 12 · 28 Nov 2022 · 6,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,550 accessesView PDFCite
