Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite

GabsiThe purpose of this study was the design and the simulation of an absorption diffusion refrigerator using solar as source of energy, for domestic use. The design holds account about the climatic conditions and the unit cost due to technical constraints imposed by the technology of the various components of the installation such as the solar generator, the condenser, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment and Validation of a 2D Finite Element Model for Air Pollution Dispersion (SUITE-2D)Youssef Ismail HafezThis paper presents the development and validation of SUITE-2D (Solving Unsteady Incompressible Transport Equation in Two Dimensions), a two-dimensional finite element model for solving the advection-diffusion transport equation with decay and source terms. The model provides an efficient and accurate approach for simulating pollutant dispersion in environmental systems. The finite element formulation uses the standard Galerkin method, with numerical integration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2025 · 3,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEfficient Image Integration Technique: Mismatch of Subjective and Objective AnalysisSetika Mehra, Ayush Dogra, Bhawna Goyal et al.The paper intends to extract features with high visual quality during image fusion. An improved image fusion algorithm is presented, aiming to preserve necessary features and relevant information, simultaneously focusing on highly enhanced visual results. The resultant fused image obtained is superior to other images obtained from other state-of-the-art techniques with respect to visual quality. A novel and improved image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 19 Oct 2019 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhenotypic ESBL Detection in Acinetobacter baumannii: A Real ChallengeGeetanjali M. Litake, Vikram S. Ghole, Krishna B. Niphadkar, Suresh G. JoshiClinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends two-step approach for extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) detection which includes the screening of recommended agents and the phenotypic confirmation of ESBL using a combination of screening agent and β-lactamase inhibitor. To investigate this approach, we screened 145 β-lactamase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolates for ESBL from tracheal secretions using double disk synergy test (DDST) and phenotypic confirmatory disc … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Oct 2015 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Enhanced Approach for Medical Brain Image EnhancementJ. Umamaheswari, G. RadhamaniProblem statement: One of the most common degradations in medical images is their poor contrast quality and noise. The DICOM image consists of speckle (multiplicative noise). While the image is enhanced, the multiplicative noise present in the image is also enhanced. Approach: This study describes the hybrid method to improve the image quality of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 27 Jul 2012 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
