Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Microwave and Ultrasonic Pretreatments on Biogas Production from Anaerobic Digestion of Palm Oil Mill EffleuntN. Saifuddin, S A. FazliliProblem Statement: Oil palm production is a major agricultural industry in Malaysia. In 2006, palm oil mills in Malaysia produced more than 58 million tonnes of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). Existing treatment in a series of open lagoons at high ambient temperatures, results in the uncontrolled production of methane and carbon dioxide, which are both green house gases (GHGs). … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Al3Fe5O12 Cubic Structure by Extremely Low Sintering Temperature of Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Ramadan A.H. Masoud, Hanita Daud et al.Problem statement: Fabrication of nano materials particularly nano inductors at low sintering temperature remains a challenge. This study was carried out as our initial response to obtain a nano-size inductors, which is aluminium iron garnet using low sintering temperature. Approach: The aluminum iron garnet (Al3Fe5O12) nano crystals were prepared by sol-gel technique. The starting solution is a mixture of iron … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal Time Implementation of NARMA-L2 Control of a Single Link ManipulatorS.S. Mokri, H. Husain, W. Martono, A. ShafieNonlinearities and parametric uncertainties are unavoidable problems faced in controlling robot manipulator. A single link manipulator driven by a permanent magnet brushed dc motor is a nonlinear dynamics due to effects of gravitational force, mass of the payload, posture of the manipulator and viscous friction coefficient. Furthermore, uncertainties arise because of changes of the rotor resistance with temperature and random … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
