Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpecific Heat and Thermal Conductivity of Berberis Fruit (Berberis vulgaris)Mortaza Aghbashlo, Mohammad Hossein Kianmehr, Seyed Reza Hassan-BeygiBerberis fruit was known as a medicinal and ornamental plant in the world. It is used in medicine to cure the liver, neck and stomach cancer, blood purification and mouth scent. In order to design of equipments and facilities for the drying, preservation and processing of berberis, it is necessary to know about the specific heat and thermal conductivity. Therefore, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Takeoff Angle of Bucket Type Energy Dissipater on Scour HoleNor Azlina Alias, Thamer Ahmed Mohamed, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. NoorScour holes formed downstream of bucket type energy dissipater may affect the safety and stability of the structure. In this study, a physical model is employed to study the impact of takeoff angle of bucket type energy dissipater on the scour hole. The area of longitudinal profile of the scour hole is used to evaluate the seriousness of the scour … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 8,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoad Transport Congestion Costs Calculations Adaptation to Engineering ApproachMarjan Lep, Beno MesarecThe article represents so called "engineering" approach for computing the total road transport congestion costs. According to economic welfare theory, the total costs of transport congestion are defined as dead weight loss (DWL) of infrastructure use. With a set of equations DWL could be formulated in a mathematical way. Because such form of equation is not directly applicable for concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Discrete Time Markov Chain with Correlated Transition ProbabilitiesPeerayuth CharnsethikulThis study presents a computational procedure for analyzing statistics of steady state probabilities in a discrete time Markov chain with correlations among their transition probabilities. The proposed model simply uses the first order Taylor’s series expansion and statistical expected value properties to obtain the resulting linear matrix equations system. Computationally, the bottleneck is O(n4) but can be improved by distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigations on the Grasping Contact Analysis of Biological Tissues With Applications in Minimally Invasive SurgeryAli Bonakdar, Javad Dargahi, Rama BhatAnalytical and finite element methods are employed to determine the contact pressure on the surface of a tissue being grasped by an endoscopic grasper, in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Normally, an endoscopic grasper is corrugated (teeth-like) in order to grasp slippery tissues. It is highly important to avoid damage to the tissues while grasping and manipulation during endoscopic surgery. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering Properties and Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat SoilYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the engineering properties and compressibility behavior of various types of tropical peat soil collected from several locations in Malaysia. These soils represented fibric, hemic and sapric type of tropical peat with organic content ranging from 70% to 90%. The correlations of the various basic engineering properties of the tropical peat soils have been found to be close … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Families of Curves in the Euclidian PlanBelaib Lekhmissi, Bouarroudj Nadra, Hocine El HabibNon-standard analysis techniques are more considered in approaching complex mathematical domains. By using some concepts of non-standard analysis methods such as regionalization method, we deal with a family of curves in an Euclidian plan. The solutions of the algebraic equations representing these curves in a plan have an hyperbolic forms. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Behavior for Solution of Reaction-Diffusion SystemsM. Yahi, K. SaoudiThe existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of the solution of a balanced two-component reaction-diffusion system have been investigated. It was shown that a global and unique solution existed and its second component can be estimated using the Lyapunov Functional. It was, also, demonstrated that each component of the solution converged, at infinity, to a constant which can be found in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on the Influence of Various Blade Outlet Angles in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous FluidsM.H.S. Fard, F.A. BoyaghchiIn this study the centrifugal pump performances with different blade outlet angles are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this study shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flows inside the centrifugal pump with different blade outlet angles. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Kinetic of 8-Hydroxyquinoline on MalachiteGabriela OPREA, Angela MICHNEA, Cristina MIHALIInfluence of temperature and collector concentration on its adsorption rate on mineral surface was studied as regarding to the 8-hydroxyquinoline/malachite system. Theoretical equations as well as experimental data may be useful to estimate the adsorption rate and kinetics connected to the conditioning stage in mineral flotation in order to optimise the selectivity and the recovery of the desired mineral. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,615 accessesView PDFCite
