Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLinear Regression Model Selection Based on Robust Bootstrapping TechniqueHassan S. Uraibi, Habshah Midi, Bashar A. Talib, Jabar H. YousifProblem statement: Bootstrap approach had introduced new advancement in modeling and model evaluation. It was a computer intensive method that can replace theoretical formulation with extensive use of computer. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method often used to estimate the parameters of the regression models in the bootstrap procedure. Unfortunately, many statistics practitioners are not aware of the fact that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite

Problem statement: The regular development of internal combustion engines change direction to answer the two most important problems determining the development trends of engines technology and in particular, their combustion systems. They were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Double Layer Grids' Maximum Deflection Using Neural NetworksReza Kamyab Moghadas, Kok Keong ChoongEfficient neural networks models are trained to predict the maximum deflection of two-way on two-way grids with variable geometrical parameters (span and height) as well as cross-sectional areas of the element groups. Backpropagation (BP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are employed for the mentioned purpose. The inputs of the neural networks are the length of the spans, L, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl Techniques in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) SystemsH. Mirinejad, S. H. Sadati, M. Ghasemian, H. TorabProblem statement: Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are among the main installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The purpose of the HVAC systems is normally to provide a comfortable environment in terms of temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters for the occupants as well as to save energy. Achieving these objectives requires a suitable control system design. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 19,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGait Optimization of Biped Robot during Double Support Phase by Pure Dynamic SynthesisNima Jamshidi, Mostafa RostamiThis paper deals with dynamic optimization of biped locomotion. The main focus of this research is motion optimization of double support phase. The optimization problem is dealt by using Pontryagins Maximum Principal. For motion optimization of double support phase, the closed kinematic chain has been considered to be opened at appropriate joint and the components of ground reaction forces has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Azadirachta indica on Sheep Infected Naturally with HelminthesF.R. Macedo, H. Louvandini, G.R. Paludo et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) on natural helminthes infection in lambs. Forty, four-month-old entire Santa Ines lambs were grazed on pasture, over a 20 week period. They were divided into 4 treatments: Without drenching (ND), 3 g A. indica/animal (A3), 6 g A. indica/animal (A6) and 9 g A. indica/animal (A9) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Criteria for Slab Compaction of Laboratory Roller Compactor (Turamesin)R. Muniandy, F.M. Jakarni, S. Hassim, A.R. MahmudLaboratory experiments should simulate to a high degree the conditions in the field, especially in term of compaction procedures. Presently available laboratory compaction methods do not seem to be able to produce specimens that can truly represent the mixtures as it exists in the field, especially for Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixtures. SMA is highly dependent on the method of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Flight Control Design for a Turn Coordination System with Parameter UncertaintiesAri Legowo, Hiroshi OkuboThis paper presents a method of robust control system design for aircraft flight control systems with the existence of uncertainty parameters such as stability and control derivatives resulted by parameter identification process using real flight test data. A nonlinear model of aircraft turn coordination system is considered where the problem is to find the optimal controller by using the H∞ … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesigning of PID Controller for Discrete Time Linear System Using Balanced Approach Reduced Order ModelC.S. Ravichandran, S. Subha Rani, T. ManikandanModeling physical systems usually results in complex high-order dynamic models. It is often desirable to approximate these models by simpler models with reduced order. This study deals with the design of discrete time linear system using a balanced approach reduced order model. The reduced order model retains the desired state variable which contains a significant contribution. A PID controller is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,128 accessesView PDFCite
