Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntubation using the Video LaryngoscopeBen H. Boedeker, W. Bosseau Murray, Thomas A. NicholasProblem statement: Inadequate airway management is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in the prehospital and out-of-operating room hospital settings. Difficulties that occur during airway management are usually related to the intubator not being able to achieve an adequate view of the glottic opening to allow insertion of an endotracheal tube. Approach: Obtaining an adequate glottic view is technically … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2012 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Solenoid Valve for Variable Rate Application SystemSaleh Mufleh Al-Saqer, Ghulam Mubashar HassanProblem statement: The aim of this research was to optimize the performance of solenoid valve used in Variable Rate Application System (VRA) in term of time response. The overall time response is usually divided into four parts i.e., plunger opening time, pressure opening time, plunger closing time and pressure closing time. Approach: The performance and design of the a solenoid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Ultra-Miniaturized Inertial Measurement Unit for Jaw Movement Analysis during Free ChewingZhuohua Lin, Massimiliano Zecca, Salvatore Sessa et al.Problem statement: Jaw movement analysis, as a clinical aid, can provide an objective basis for understanding and diagnosing jaw musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, the use and development of devices for quantitatively measuring and analyzing jaw movement have become more common and popular in the clinic. Many types of jaw tracking devices have been developed, but most of them are still not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Adaptation of Fishing Instruments by a Farmers' Community in the Thung Kula Area, in North Eastern ThailandWorawan Ubonlert, Songkhun Chantachon, Worapol EngwanichProblem statement: In a historical study of the ancient communities in the area of Thung Kula, it was revealed that there are important resources including rice, fish, salt and iron. Salt is used in making fermented fish (known locally as Pla Daek), a culinary culture which has been prevalent in the ethnic groups of Laos and Khmer. The availability of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Hammer Analysis by Characteristic MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadRapid changes in the velocity of fluid in closed conduits generate large pressure, which are transmitted through the system with the speed of sound. When the fluid medium is a liquid the pressure surges and related phenomena are described as water hammer. Water hammer is caused by normal operation of the system, such as valve opening or closure, pump starts … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Plasticity- Induced Fatigue Crack Closure with Singular ElementR. Rahgozar, H. Saffari, R. TabatabaeiDeveloping a new method is presented to compute crack opening values in planar geometries using the crack surface nodal force distribution under minimum loading as determined from finite element analyses (FEM). In this technique, two-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic finite element analyses of middle-crack tension (MT) geometry is conducted to study fatigue crack closure and to calculate the crack opening values under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiaxial Fatigue Strength to Notched specimens made of 40CrMoV13.9Abedin Gagani, Raffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.Fatigue is a process (succession of mechanisms) which under the action of time-varying strains or deformations modifies the local properties of a material. These can lead to the formation of cracks and eventual rupture of the structure. Fatigue is in particular characterized by an extent of variation in stress which may be well below the yield strength of the material. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 8,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced XFEM Simulation of Pull-out and Debonding of Steel Bars and FRP-Reinforcements in Concrete BeamsNicola Orlando, Elena BenvenutiAn innovative three-dimensional model is applied to the pull-out of steel bars and the debonding of FRP plates from concrete specimens. The shearing and opening modes at the interface of debonding is fully captured. The model is based on an innovative variant of the regularized eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) developed by the authors. In this method, the displacement discontinuity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 6 Oct 2016 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractWhere the Future is Being Made TodayMark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtGrowing up, I was fascinated by The Muppet Show and the adventures of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker. Apparently, my feelings were not unique because Muppet characters are used to ease tensions associated with education about clinical interventions (Ramsay, 2014; Rohn, 2007). Yet the opening phrase 'Where the future is being made today' has, in my opinion, summed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2016 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIslamic Finance Development and Economic Growth Nexus: The Case of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)Abdelghani Echchabi, Dhekra AzouziIslamic Banking presently knows a great success and new Islamic banks are opening every day all over the world. This Shari’ah (It is the bod of Islamic law, it literally means “way” or “path”) compliant banking is expected to withstand the financial crises and to enhance economic growth. In this paper, the purpose is to analyse the relationship between Islamic … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2015 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
