Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHighly-Efficient Advanced Thermoelectric Devices from Different Multilayer Thin FilmsSatilmis Budak, Zhigang Xiao, Barry Johnson et al.The efficiency of the thermoelectric materials and devices is shown by the dimensionless Figure of merit, ZT. ZT is calculated by multiplying the Seebeck coefficient with square of the electrical conductivity and absolute temperature and dividing it all by the thermal conductivity. Thermoelectric devices were prepared using different multilayered thin film structures in the order of SiO2/SiO2 + Ge/Ge/Sb + … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 8,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing the Analytic Hierarchy Process to Establish a Tour Guide Selection and Evaluation ModelHan-Chen Huang, Su-Ling Wu, I-Ying Chang, Pei-Ling LiuThis study aims to examine the criteria for the selection of tour guides, in order to help travel agencies in Taiwan selecting suitable tour guides with a more objective and consistent approach. A tour guide is the life and soul of an organized tour, as well as an important key for the success of the tour. Following the acquisition of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2015 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC TO PREDICT AIRFLOW AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH AN UNDER FLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMAbd Alnasser Almate A. Ali, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Paul A. Dellenback, Yao YuOur objective is to demonstrate the use of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) in building applications. In particular, CFD has been used for temperature and airflow predictions of building spaces conditioned using Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) System. The space used is an instrumented laboratory room (old daycare center) located at the University of Wyoming. The use of the CFD simulation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 11 Apr 2014 · 8,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCEMENT OF CREATIVITY THROUGH LOGO PROGRAMMINGBens Pardamean, EvelinThis study evaluated the effect of Logo programming in enhancing creativity skills. Eighty five fifth-grade students were assigned to experimental and control groups. A pre-test was administered to assess figural creativity factors consisting of receptive fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. After eight weeks of Logo programming learning, the experimental group had significantly higher scores compared to the control group on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 23 Jan 2014 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractION-IMPLANTED GLASS WAVEGUIDES: A REVIEWShu Cheng, Bo Peng, Hai-Tao Guo et al.As a well-known technique for material modification, ion implantation has become an effective method to fabricate waveguide in optical glasses. The guiding structures can be accurately controlled by the adjustment of the species, energies and fluences of the implanted ions. In the present work, we review the results of up-to-date research on the fabrication, characterization and applications of the ion-implanted … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 20 May 2013 · 13,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRestricted Domain Malay Speech Synthesizer Using Syntax-Prosody RepresentationSabrina Tiun, Rosni Abdullah, Tang Enya KongThe speech synthesis approach required in restricted domain speech application is a synthesizer that has high quality like the speech output of ‘slot-filler’ approach but have at least the least flexibility of the ‘genuine’ speech synthesizer. Thus, in this research study, we propose an alternative approach of creating a speech synthesizer to be used in a restricted domain speech application. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 14 Nov 2012 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Optimization of the Vortex Tube with Computational Fluid Dynamic AnalysisK.K. Zin, A. Hansske, F. ZieglerProblem statement: This study illustrated the influence of the Length to Diameter (L/D) on the fluid flow characteristics inside the counter-flow Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube predicted by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and validated through experiment. Approach: The swirl velocity, axial velocity, radial velocity component and also secondary circulation flow (back-flow) along with the pressure within the vortex tube were simulated and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWall Shear Stress Distribution in Patient Specific Coronary Artery BifurcationVahab Dehlaghi, Frank GijsenProblem statement: Atherogenesis is affected by hemodynamic parameters, such as wall shear stress and wall shear stress spatial gradient. These parameters are largely dependent on the geometry of arterial tree. Arterial bifurcations contain significant flow disturbances. Approach: The effects of branch angle and vessel diameter ratio at the bifurcations on the wall shear stress distribution in the coronary arterial tree … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
