Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Researches Examines the Wing Shapes to Reduce Vortex and WakeNicolae Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIt is common to see clouds in the form of the sky, known as contrails, which are behind the engines of a reaction plan. What is not always visible is a wind whirl that comes out of the top of each wing - like two small horizontal tornadoes - leaving behind a turbulent awakening behind the vehicle. Awakening is a … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 19 Jun 2018 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Experimental Investigation of a Novel Solar Collector with a W-Shape CoverEdoun Marcel, Djimasra Bonheur, Kuitche Alexis, Zeghmati BelkacemIn the current study, we developed and tested a new type of solar collector named W-shape solar collector. It is a solar collector with single air pass between the transparent cover and the absorber. The cover has double glass whereby the upper glass is flat and the lower glass is w-shape. The absorber is also W-shape. This combination gave rise … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2019 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Optimization of Steel Sandwich Panels under Blast LoadingSayed M. Soleimani, Nader H. Ghareeb, Nourhan H. ShakerHoneycomb sandwich panels are commonly preferred in structural engineering as a design element meant to protect against blast loading, and this owes primarily to the fact that they are light in weight (due to the voids present) whilst carrying high energy absorption capacities. A widespread surge in acts of terrorism, and the resultant threat posed to structures, presents structural engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Infill Walls Under Cyclic Loading Strengthening with CFRPMojtaba Fallahi, Sajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Mona Haghighifar, Rahmat MadandoostNowadays, using infill isolators in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is very common. In earlier research this infill isolators are usually considered as non-structural elements, but in recent researches it was demonstrated that infill has considerable effects on natural period, stiffness, strength and overall behavior of structure specially when it is subjected to seismic ground motions. In this study a one-bay … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Jul 2018 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,929 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractSurvey of Websites and Web Application Security Threats Using Vulnerability AssessmentVincent Appiah, Michael Asante, Isaac Kofi Nti, Owusu Nyarko-BoatengNowadays information has become anasset to many institutions and as a result these institutions have become targets for people with malicious intents to attack these institutions. The web is now an important means of transacting business and without security, websites cannot thrive in today’s complex computer ecosystem as there are new threats emerging as old ones are being tackled. Vulnerability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 27 Jan 2018 · 9,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeometry Modification of Flywheels and its Effect on Energy StorageShenel Bankston, Changki MoThis paper examines the influence of various geometric configurations of flywheels on kinetic energy storage performance using finite element analysis. Historically flywheels have been used in various applications. From such applications as pottery wheels to steam engines, flywheels have been used to store mechanical energy. Currently, in the ever expanding world of green energy development, flywheel energy storage systems provide … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Sep 2015 · 8,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractItems and Generalizations: Evidence from Decir within the Family of Subjective-Transitive Constructions in SpanishFrancisco Gonzálvez-GarcíaThis paper explores the existence of a continuum between regular, productive, conventional configurations and fixed, idiosyncratic and novel configurations within the full gamut of instances of secondary predication with decir ('say') and verba dicendi in present-day Spanish. Drawing on Cognitive Construction Grammar, it is argued that instances of the secondary predication with these verbs can be aptly regarded as forming … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Jul 2015 · 8,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electrode Spacing and Inversion Techniques on the Efficacy of 2D Resistivity Imaging to Delineate Subsurface FeaturesAdiat Kola Abdul-Nafiu, Mohd. Nawawi Mohd. Nordin, Khiruddin Abdullah et al.In this study, the effect of the choice of appropriate electrode spacing and inversion algorithms on the efficacy of 2D imaging to map subsurface features was investigated. The target being investigated was the drainage concrete pipe buried at approximately 0.3 m into the subsurface. A profile perpendicular to the strike of the pipe was established. 2D resistivity data was separately … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2013 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation Wireless Adapter Interface Module with Gateway Device for Connection to 4-20 mA TransmittersWaleed Ishaq Hameed, K. Ivica, Amar Al-jzari, Yasir I. AbdulraheemWireless communication is emerging technology from the office world to the industrial world. It is important that this technique are applied by the users in industrial environments because the industrial communication underlies stricter conditions than office communication. In this paper, It has been designed and implemented wireless adapter interface module with gateway connected to 4-20 mA devices and the Differential … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 1 Jul 2017 · 8,027 accessesView PDFCite
