Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinding What You Expect to See: Theoretical Modeling in PsycholinguisticsKathleen AhrensProblem statement: Theories of language processing rely upon experimental evidence to support or reject their hypotheses. Yet it is often the case that conflicting theories flourish alongside each other for decades, with voluminous experimental evidence to support their respective hypotheses. Approach: In this study, I suggest it is imperative for researchers to move beyond their own experiments and results to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 8,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFractional Calculus Theoretical Evolution for Radiation QuantitiesAmin Al-Okour, Sherin A. Sareireh, Abdullah Ajlouni, Abdul-Wali AjlouniProblem statement: Radiation dosimetry features depend on semi-empirical formulas that lack a strong mathematical framework. This is due to the fact that the microscopic radiation interaction with matter includes energy losses that have never been described properly in quantum mechanics, which deals with conserved energy systems. Approach: Using the recent theory of the quantization of nonconservative systems using fractional calculus. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2012 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBasic 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 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnvironmental Pollution Assessment of Different Diesel Injector Location Of Direct-Injection Diesel Engines: Theoretical StudyEyad S. M. Abu-Nameh, Jehad A. A. YaminAn Analytical investigation on the effect of injector location of a four-stroke DI diesel engine on its pollutants’ emissions was carried out under different injector locations ranging from central to peripheral at different engine speeds ranging from 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm. The simulation results clearly indicated the advantages and disadvantages of the central location over the peripheral one. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental and Theoretical Analysis of a Novel Flexible Membrane Tactile SensorGoldis Darb Emamieh, Ahmad Ameri, Siamak Najarian, Ali Tavakoli GolpayganiIn this study, we report the development of a new multi tactile sensor, capable of detecting 2D surface texture image, measuring contact-force, and identifying the difference between stiffness of sensed objects. The designed tactile sensor consists of a chamber and a membrane with a mesa structure. The detecting principle is a combination of membrane deflection and piezoresistance effects. A major … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTheoretically Predicted Descriptors Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of the Activity of Acridines Against B-16 MelanomaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. Elias, Sadiq M-H. Ismael, Kawkab A. HussainProblem statement: The probability of success and reducing time and coast in drug discovery process could be increased on the basis of QSAR techniques. The study involves the QSAR investigation of 20 bioactive acridines that have activity against Approach: Molecular descriptors, total energy, van der Waals volume, molecular volume, HOMO energy, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, polarizability, refractivity, bond angle of C8-N9-C2 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFailure Mode and Pullout Capacity of Anchor Piles in ClayYanbing Zhao, Haixiao Liu, Mengyuan LiuAnchor piles are wildly adopted in mooring systems. However, there are still challenges in predicting the failure mode and pullout capacity of the pile. Previous Finite Element (FE) analysis was all based on the traditional small strain FE analysis. The whole pullout process of the pile cannot be simulated. Hence, the failure mode of the pile is hard to be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNumber of Non-Unique Minors (of Various Orders) and Elements in the Calculation of General DeterminantsPatrick Marchisella, Gurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: Many distinct properties of determinants have been studied and are known, yet a considerable number of properties still need further examination. This study investigates the number of minors (of various orders) and elements of a matrix A contained in the expansion of the general determinant of A, irrespective of the independence, principality and distinctness of such minors and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2012 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLet's Talk about Sex: An Evolving Research Program in Perinatal SexualityViola PolomenoThis article presents the definition of a research program and how to develop one. The author offers her own experience as an example. Problem statement: There was a dearth of literature on how-to articles on 'how to' establish a research program. Approach: This article presents the author's evolving research program in perinatal sexuality which focuses on the couple's intimacy in … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Dec 2010 · 8,425 accessesView PDFCite
