Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout the Gear Efficiency to a Simple Planetary TrainRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuSynthesis of classical planetary mechanisms is usually based on kinematic relations, considering the achieved transmission ratio input-output. The planetary mechanisms are less synthesized based on their mechanical efficiency which is developed during operation, although this criterion is part of the real dynamics of mechanisms and also the most important criterion in terms of performance of a mechanism. Even when the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 23 Dec 2016 · 8,811 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods for Mapping Environmental Noise from Opencast QuarriesDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariAn accurate mapping of the acoustic spatial variability generated by quarrying plants constitutes an important step in the assessment of the environmental compatibility of the extraction site with the surrounding area. This paper refers to the results of a study comparing performances obtained by stochastic and deterministic methods to determine the acoustic climate of the areas surrounding opencast quarries. To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArchitecture of an Ultra-Low-Power Fully Autonomous Universal Power Conditioner of Energy Harvester for Wireless Sensor Networks: A ReviewYeo Kim Heng, Md. Shabiul Islam, Susthitha Menon et al.A fully autonomous Universal Power Conditioner (UPC) that can accept energy from any micro-energy harvester (e.g., photovoltaic, thermoelectric, electromagnetic, piezoelectric etc.) is proposed. Generally, UPC removes the need of multiple optimized source specific converters. But, the proposed UPC architecture will be Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) with maximized efficiency to support the low energy levels generated by harvesting sources. This UPC uses a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,782 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization and Prediction of Motorcycle Injection System Performance with Feed-Forward Back-Propagation Method Artificial Neural Network (ANN)La Ode Ichlas Syahrullah, Nazaruddin SinagaThis research studied the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using feed-forward back-propagation model to optimize and predict the performance of a motorcycle fuel injection systems of gasoline. The parameters such as speed, throttle position, ignition timing and injection timing is used as the input parameters. While the parameters of fuel consumption and engine torque is used as the output … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2016 · 13,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling and Analysis of Voltage Mode Controlled Luo ConverterDivya Navamani Jayachandran, Vijayakumar Krishnaswamy, Lavanya Anbazhagan, Karthikeyan DhandapaniThis paper presents the analysis of open loop power stage dynamics relevant to voltage mode control for elementary Luo DC-DC converter for certain specific applications like Hybrid Electric Vehicles, fuel cell vehicles. A comparative analysis is carried out on positive output super lift series of converters to evaluate voltage gain, output voltage ripple, stresses on the switches and efficiency. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 7 Nov 2015 · 7,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Land Cover on Streamflow Variability in a Small Iowa Watershed: Assessing Future VulnerabilitiesKeith Schilling, Matthew Streeter, Kasey Hutchinson et al.Agricultural expansion and urbanization, coupled with climate change represent major threats to the sustainability of river ecosystems and infrastructure. In this study, we evaluated how subbasins with different dominant land covers within the 27.5 km2 Clear Creek, IA watershed affect key hydrologic indicators. Hydrologic output from two stream gages and a calibrated Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model were used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 8,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN IN-HOUSE COMPUTER-BASED DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION PROCESSESE. A. Echiegu, A. E. GhalyA computer-based Data Acquisition and Control System (DACS) capable of monitoring the temperature, pH and gas production as well as maintaining a pre-determined temperature profile and feeding regime in anaerobic reactors was developed and tested. The hardware for the DACS was a series-based system consisting of a host processor which drives three modules-a digital input mode (MODULE 255), an analog … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2014 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF KALLAR-COONOOR HILL ROAD STRETCH OF THE NILGIRISP. Nalina, T. Meenambal, R. Sathyanarayan SridharThe stability of slopes is always under severe threats in many parts of Western Ghats, especially in Kallar-Coonoor hill road stretch, causing disruption, loss of human life and economy. To minimize the instability of soil slope in between Kallar-Coonoor, a critical evaluation of roads is required. The stability of slopes depends on the soil shear strength parameters such as Cohesion, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE LINEAR PROGRAMMING APPROACH ON A-P SUPER-EFFICIENCY DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS MODEL OF INFEASIBILITY OF SOLVING MODELChiao-Ping Bao, Chen-Hu Jeng, Ching-Chung Guey, Chien-Liang LinThe traditional CCR or BCC model in DEA for DMU assessment often come out with multiple efficiency units, which cause problems in rank ordering. Therefore, we intended to improve level of discrimination among Decision Making Units (DMUs). The present study thus seeks to solve the above-mentioned problems of discrimination and infeasible solutions in A-P super-efficient mode by proposing a feasible … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
