Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation Weather-Type Models of Capacitated Arc Routing Problem via HeuristicsZuhaimy Ismail, Mohammad Fadzli RamliProblem statement: In this study, we introduced a new and real-life condition of Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP), a model that represents vehicle’s operation in waste collection. In general, we studied the element of rain drops that affected the collected waste weight in total by imposed a new variable namely rainy weight age. In rainy days, the household refusals did … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Model of Brushless Excitation SystemAhmed N. Abd AllaExcitation system is key element in the dynamic performance of electric power systems, accurate excitation models are of great importance in simulating and investigating the power system transient phenomena. Parameter identification of the Brushless excitation system was presented. First a block diagram for the EXS parameter was proposed based on the documents and maps in the power station. To identify … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscussion around the Scattering Matrix Realization of a Microwave Filter using the Bond Graph Approach and Scattering FormalismHichem Taghouti, Abdelkader MamiProblem statement: Further to research works made previously and which use collectively the scattering formalism and bond graph technique for the modeling of a physical systems often working in high frequencies, we propose, in this article, a comparative study (discussion) for the scattering matrix realization of a high-frequency physical system. Approach: This discussion is based, on the one hand, on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 7 Feb 2012 · 7,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation and Beneficiation of Bentonitic Clays from Pindiga Formation in Benue TroughB. B.M. Dewu, I. I. Funtua, M. O.A. Oladipo et al.Problem statement: This study aimed at evaluating and beneficiating Bentonitic clays of Pindiga Formation from the upper Benue trough in northeastern Nigeria to meet the standard required for use in oil well drilling. This will reduce the dependence on imported Bentonite into the country, increase foreign exchange, improve the country’s economy and create employment opportunities. Approach: Three clay samples from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 16 Jan 2012 · 8,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer to Analyze Heavy Metals in Moss SamplesMohd Zahari Abdullah, Ahmad Saat, Zaini HamzahProblem statement: Mosses had been widely used as bioindicator especially to study the levels of trace metals pollutants in the surrounding ambient air because of their high efficiency to accumulate heavy metals contamination. There had been increasing demand to get a suitable analytical tools to determine the chemical contents of moss samples in this type of media. This study was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasic Theoretical Backgrounds of the Engineering Design Procedure of a Drying PlantJamil Sami HaddadProblem statement: This study was made to reduce energy consumption and increase productivity of drying process in many industries, to achieve the required aim, design arithmetic methods and choose the parameters of the drying machine and computing additional factors including characteristics of materials and air flow effect. Approach: The design of these types of dryers did not include the addressed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Reconstructed Basins Using Pattern Spectrum ProcedureP. RadhakrishnanSeveral classical and Fractal binary shapes, which are akin to geophysical shapes such as basins, lakes, and pore-grain spruce, are analyzed and characterized by employing various mathematical morphological transformations, and methods. By employing rhombus, square and octagon structuring elements, these shapes are decomposed into their skeletal networks and their corresponding skeletal network subsets are dilated to the respective degree by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Properties of a Dispersant Used for Extracting Oil with High Gas-Oil RatioVladimir Verbitsky, Aleksey Dengaev, Oleg Zubkov, Dmitry KoshkinThe article presents the bench test results for a dispersant manufactured by Izhnefteplast Company, which specializes in batch production of unique submersible pumping equipment for oil extraction. The submersible equipment is unique in that the working elements of the pumping equipment are made of polymeric materials unlike the conventional concept of pumping machinery for oil production. The relevance of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 24 Feb 2016 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSOFT COMPUTING APPROACH TO PREDICT INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE VALUESMario VersaciThe estimation and the prediction of the values related to the Intracranial Pression (ICP) represents an important step for the evaluation of the compliance of the human brain, above all in those cases in which the increase of the ICP values determines high risk conditions for the patient. The regular therapy is neuro-surgical but, waiting for it, it is needed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 7 Mar 2014 · 6,674 accessesView PDFCite
