Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions to the Stirling Engine StudyFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn the process of transforming thermal energy into mechanical work, among the known thermal machines, the Stirling engine is the one that can achieve the highest yield (theoretically up to the maximum yield of the Carnot cycle), although in practice it is reduced by the properties of gas and materials used such as friction coefficient, thermal conductivity, melting point, breaking … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElderly People Fall Detection System Using Skeleton Tracking and RecognitionD. Bansal, Abeer Alsadoon, P.W.C. Prasad et al.The fall detection systems use a variety of technologies like sensors, wearable devices, color camera, thermal camera etc. With the use of Microsoft Kinect camera for non-gaming purposes, depth images have started being utilized for fall detection. Various authors have made an attempt at using Kinect for fall detection in combination with a variety of techniques like ellipse analysis, bounding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 7 Nov 2018 · 8,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Composite Structure Surface Uniformity using Interval Based Gradient Field Histogram Analysis of Thermographic Images (IGF-HA)Mahmoud Zaki IskandaraniThis paper presents a new approach to composite surface characterization using Image Histogram Analysis as a function of Gradient Field. Image sequences are weighed and combined in order to present a pattern change in the thermal response of a tested composite structure. Reaction Injection Molding samples used and subjected to thermal energy to characterize their surface uniformity and any existing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 25 May 2018 · 7,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConvective Heat Transfer and Thermal Performance in a Circular Tube Heat Exchanger Inserted with U-Shaped BaffleAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiNumerical investigations on flow structure and heat transfer characteristic in a heat exchanger tube fitted with U-shaped baffle are presented. The U-shaped baffle is created from the concepts of orifice and inclined baffle. The influences of the baffle height (b/D = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25) and flow attack angle (α = 20°, 30° and 45°) of the U-shaped … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber/Talc/CaCO3 Filled Recycled PP CompositesUğur Soy, Fehim Findik, Salih Hakan Yetgin et al.Until now, recycling studies brought to the agenda after the rapid increasing of plastic materials in every area and causing those plastics to environmental pollution after discarding them following the utilization. The purpose of recycling plastic waste is to minimize environmental pollution and to create of new resources. To perform the present study, Recycled Polypropylene Granules (RPP) belonging to Polypropylene … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2017 · 9,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Thermo-Physical Properties of Soil Using Solarisation TechnologyAhmed Abed Gatea Al-Shammary, Abbas Kouzani, Akif Kaynak et al.Soil Thermo-Physical Properties (TPP) depend on heat transfer in the soil. This paper presents a study on different soil solarisation technologies influenced by soil TPP. This study evaluates three factors: The tillage depth for soil at three levels (15, 25 and 45 cm), the number of plastic film at three levels (single, double and without plastic film) and three cases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2017 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExocellular (1→6)-β-D-Glucan (Lasiodiplodan): Carboxymethylation, Thermal Behavior, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial ActivityThais Vanessa Theis, Gabrielle Cristina Calegari, Vidiany Aparecida Queiroz Santos et al.β-Glucans are biomacromolecules of industrial interest for its biological and technological properties, including ability to modify the rheology of food systems and different biological functionalities. In this study, lasiodiplodan an exocellular polysaccharide of the (1→6)-β-D-glucan type produced by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae MMPI was obtained in a bench-scale bioreactor operated in discontinuous mode. Lasiodiplodan produced was derivatized by carboxymethylation and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
