Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMarketing Strategies in Port Industry: An Exploratory Study and a Research AgendaAngelos M. Pantouvakis, C.I. Chlomoudis, Athanasios G. DimasProblem statement: Market globalization increases demand and the competition between firms. Ports as basic figurative nodes cannot remain separate from this change. Technological improvements, the increased demand of marine transports, the demand for new, bigger and more specialized vessels, has increased the competition among ports. Approach: In this competitive environment business mistakes may be proved fatal and marketing strategies arise … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Comprehensive Computer Program for Predicting Farm EnergyS.A. Al-Hamed, S.A. Al-Suhaibani, F.S. Mohammad, M.F.I. WahbyProblem statement: The agricultural industry is a major user of energy. Energy is used directly for operating agricultural machinery and equipment on the farm and indirectly in the manufacturing of fertilizers and pesticides and processing of agricultural products off the farm. In order to reduce the cost of agricultural production, energy uses on the farm must be identified and optimized … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStandardization of Metal-Based Herbal MedicinesArun Sudha, V. S. Murty, T. S. ChandraProblem statement: Standardization of herbal drugs is a burning topic in herbal drug industry today. Standardization is difficult because they are usually mixtures of many constituents and the active principle in most cases is unknown. However it is possible to generate a physico-chemical fingerprint for the standardization of these drugs with reference to authentic drugs, for monitoring variation between preparations … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir-Cooling Used For Metal CuttingBrian Boswell, Behrad Katirachi, Tilak T ChandratillekeAir-cooling and dry machining are both being trialled as possible solutions to the metal cutting industry’s long running problems of extending tool life, reducing tool failure and minimising the heat generation at the tool tip. To date, large amounts of expensive coolant which cause both environmental damage and health hazards have had to be used. The introduction of dry machining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpedance Method Application for Multi-Layer Structure TestingMonzer Moh’D KrishanMulti-layer materials and structures are widely used in the modern aircraft industry. The main defect of these structures is delamination. The most appropriate method for detection of such kind flaws is the impedance testing method. This research is devoted to the features of the impedance method for multi-layer panel testing. The theoretical and experimental investigations of mechanical impedance are presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms with Bars and Gears Used in Robots and ManipulatorsRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.Bars and gears are used everywhere today, but a wide range of uses is robotics and mechatronics. Since ancient times, automations and mechanization have been used with mechanisms consisting of chains of bars and gears. These were obviously used for the purpose of transmitting the movement and its transformation, that is to say, as a mechanical transmission. Gear and bar … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2017 · 7,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCATION-EXCHANGE MEMBRANES WITH POLYANILINE SURFACE LAYER FOR WATER TREATMENTDinar Dilshatovich Fazullin, Gennady Vitalevich Mavrin, Michael Pavlovich SokolovIon-exchange membranes are widely used in modern technologies, particularly in the field of water treatment and make it possible to considerably reduce expenses for wastewater treatment and ensure high degree of purification. Currently, perfluorinated sulfated proton-conducting membranes are often used, such as NAFION and its Russian analogue, MF-4SK based on co-polymerization product of a perfluorinated vinyl ether with tetrafluoroethylene. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 13 Sep 2014 · 7,403 accessesView PDFCite
