Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Evaluation of Thermal Imaging Based Respiration Rate Monitoring in ChildrenFarah AL-Khalidi, Reza Saatchi, Heather Elphick, Derek BurkeProblem statement: An important indicator of an individual’s health is respiration rate. It is the average number of times air is inhaled and exhaled per minute. Existing respiration monitoring methods require an instrument to be attached to the patient’s body during the recording. This is a discomfort to the patient and the instrument can be dislodged from its position. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Jul 2012 · 10,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends and Multifractal Analyses of Precipitation Data from Shandong Peninsula, ChinaMeng Gao, Xiyong HouProblem statement: Water shortage is a very serious problem in Shandong Peninsula, which is one of the most rapidly developed zone in China. As the major source of water supply is in this area, precipitation is crucial to sustainable development in Shandong Peninsula. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the trend and characteristics of precipitation during the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 May 2012 · 7,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient and the Mind-Body Axis, in Relation to Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Amino AcidsToru Takahashi, Eri Toda, Ram B. Singh et al.Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs); obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) and cancer have become major health problems in both developing and developed countries. Physical inactivity and increased intake of energy rich proinflammatory foods in association with genetic predisposition are common primary risk factors for these problems. Mind-body interactions and mechanisms in relation to hypothalamus neurotransmitters and vagus nerve have … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling A Multi-Compartments Biological System with Membrane ComputingRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Most of the biological systems have been hierarchical in structure with processes interacting between different compartments. Membrane computing formalism has provided modeling capabilities in representing the structure of biological systems. Approach: This study was carried to investigate the modeling of a multi-compartment biological system by using membrane computing formalism. The hormone-induced calcium oscillations in liver cells which was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 10 Aug 2010 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Mechanical Calculation of the Optical Absorption of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles by Density Functional TheoryElham Gharibshahi, Elias SaionProblem statement: Metal nanoparticles confine the motion of conduction electrons and exhibit a strong optical absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the UV-vis-NIR region. The absorption is classically derived from the collective oscillations of free electrons in a metallic nanostructure as a consequence of incident electromagnetic radiation polarizing the particle optically embedded in a dielectric matrix. These oscillations, known as the … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 16,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTakagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Gains Scheduled PI Controller for Enhancement of Power System StabilityLokman H. Hassan, M. Moghavvemi, Haider A.F. MohamedProblem statement: Power system oscillations affect system stability and may lead to failure if not properly controlled. Approach: A Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Gains Scheduled Proportional and Integral (FGPI) controller was proposed for a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)-based stabilizer to enhance the power system stability. Linguistic rules and fuzzy inference mechanism are utilized to tune the controller parameters on-line in different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Decentralized Control of Unified Power Flow ControllerHossein Shayeghi, Ali AbdolalipourA new approach based on structured singular value is proposed for the robust decentralized Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) design. To achieve decentralization, using the schauder fixed point theorem the synthesis and analysis of Multi-Input Multi-output (MIMO) control system is translated into set of equivalent Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) control system. Power systems such as the other industrial plants contain different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Model For Sieves' Vibrations Analysis, Using an Algorithm Based on the False-Position MethodDinu I. Stoicovici, Miorita Ungureanu, Nicu Ungureanu, Mihai BanicaThe analysis of the sieves vibrations in the case of screening civil engineering construction bulk materials is usual made by using some differential equations depending on parameters related to different material and sieves characteristics. One of those parameters is the throwing coefficient -c- that is the ratio between the force capable to throw up the particle from the sieve surface, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Robust Decentralized Control for UPFC Controller Based on Structured Singular ValueSeyed Abbas Taher, Shahabeddin Akbari, Ali Abdolalipour, Reza HemattiNew approach based on structured singular value (µ-synthesis) was proposed for the robust decentralized unified power flow controller (UPFC) design. To achieve decentralization, using the Schauder fixed point theorem the synthesis and analysis of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control system translated into a set of equivalent multi-input single-output (MISO) control system.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDead Sea Rate of EvaporationAbdelaziz L. AL-KhlaifatThe Dead Sea is exceptional by many standards. It is the saltiest and lowest lake in the world. Moreover it is a closed lake with very large variations in its water level caused by both man-made and natural oscillations of the components that make up the water balance. Most of the fundamental studies on the Dead Sea focused on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,539 accessesView PDFCite
