Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Optimization of a 1.55 µm Waveguide Based on Silicon Planar Photonic CrystalsR. Bchir, A. Bardaoui, M. Machhout et al.Background: Silicon based Planar Photonic Crystals (PPC) are used for the design of a 1.55 µm waveguide. Line defects are then formed in the PPC structures, by removing rows of holes, to obtain a Planar Photonic Crystal Waveguide (PPCW). Objective: First, we varied the thickness of the Silicon slab and the pore radius in order to obtain optimum design parameters … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Efficient Hidden Markov Model Based Target Tracking Mechanism in Wireless Sensor NetworksB. Amutha, M. PonnavaikkoProblem statement: Target tracking is a challenging application in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) because it is computation-intensive and requires real-time location processing. This study proposes a practical target tracking system based on the Hidden Markov Model in a distributed signal processing framework. In this framework, wireless sensor nodes perform target detection and tracking, whereas target localization requires the collaborative signal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Fully Coupled Approach for Evaluation of Wellbore Stability in Hydrocarbon ReservoirsVera RoccaProblem statement: When a well is drilled in a hydrocarbon reservoir, the original thermodynamic conditions are altered, the natural stresses are redistributed and a stress concentration occurs around the hole. The alteration of the original equilibrium can lead to wellbore damage, sometimes to its complete collapse. Loss of time associated with stability problems is estimated to account for 12-15% of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Adjustment Time Quantum in Round Robin Algorithm Depending on Burst Time of the Now Running ProcessesRami J. MatarnehProblem statement: The performance and efficiency of multitasking operating systems mainly depends on the used CPU scheduling algorithm where the CPU is one of the primary computer resources and as round robin scheduling algorithm is considered most widely used scheduling algorithms in this research a new proposed variant of this algorithm presented, discussed in detail, tested and verified. Approach: The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTarget Identification in Ory S1 Pollen Protein Allergen from Oryza sativa in the Course of Construction of Hypoallergenic VaccinesRuchi Sharma, A. K. SinghProblem statement: Recombinant-based approaches are mostly focused on genetic modification of allergens to produce molecules with reduced allergenic activity and conserved antigenicity, such as hypoallergens. Recombinant allergens represent promising tools for diagnosis and therapy of type I allergy. This approach was probably feasible with every allergen with known amino acid sequence. Approach: The primary aim of this study was to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Reliability and Productivity of an Aluminum Extruder by Implementation of Direct Torque Control TechnologyMazouz A. SalahatProblem statement: The linear motor drive is widely used in driving an extrusion puller in an aluminum extrusion industry. The main disadvantage of this drive is manual and step-wise torque control. This research was done to replace the linear motor drive by AC drive with direct torque control technology. Approach: Mathematical calculations were carried to select an AC drive which … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAM-An Aquivalence-based Dynamic Mass Balance Model for the Fate of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals in the Agricultural EnvironmentMohammad A. Batiha, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum, Abu Bakar Mohamad et al.A Multimedia Agricultural Model (MAM) for predicting the fate and transport of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals (NVOCs) in the agricultural environment was presented. It is an expanded and modified version of the three compartmental model introduced by Batiha and co-authors in 2007, which is an aquivalence-based level IV. MAM considered five environmental compartments to include the air, water, soil, sediment and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrayer Times Modeling with GIS: A Case Study for Iran and Its SurroundingH. Aghighi, A. Alimohammadi, M. S. GhaharehTraditionally, the time of Prayer was being announced through mosques. Nowadays, there's a special time in cities of Muslim countries, known as prayer times table. Mean while villages lack such division or table, they use the Prayer times of nearby cities. In non-muslim countries, such tables just belong to big cities and other areas have difficulties to find (precise) prayer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
