Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STUDY OF FIRST YEAR TERTIARY STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE- CONCEPTUAL AND PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE, LOGICAL THINKING AND CREATIVITYGurudeo Anand Tularam, Kees HulsmanThis study focuses on students in first year environmental science degree programs where traditionally mathematical emphasis has been much less than the strict science or math majors. The importance now placed in applied mathematics means that students need to gain more conceptual and quantitative knowledge in not only the environmental degree programs but also in most if not all non-mathematical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2013 · 7,255 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Automatic IncubatorSiriluk Sansomboonsuk, Chagorn Phonhan, Girati PhonhanThe designing of an automatic incubator consists of three main parts. The first part is a mathematical model of an incubator. Thermo-physical properties of selected materials were substituted to investigate its heat transfer characteristics. The second part is the consideration of equipment used to measure and control temperature and humidity. The last part is to select the controller for an … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 14,918 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility of Using TIG Welding in Dissimilar Metals between Steel/Aluminum AlloyRattana Borrisutthekul, Pusit Mitsomwang, Sirirat Rattanachan, Yoshiharu MutohProblem statement: Currently, in order to suppress intermetallic reaction layer formation during dissimilar metals welding between steel/aluminum alloy, only laser beam welding as self-brazing technique has been applied. However, TIG welding process might be one of welding process candidate for joining dissimilar metals welding between steel/aluminum alloys due to its capability in joining thin section. In the present study, the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 14,513 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractEstimate of Damage on Mesquite Pods and Seeds (Prosopis laevigata (Willd) M.C. Johnst) (Mimosoideae) Caused by Bruchids (COLEOPTERA) in the Municipality of Durango, Durango, MexicoKarina Lisbet Reséndez-Velázquez, María Pioquinta González-CastilloDamage caused by weevils or bruchids in mesquite plants (Prosopis laevigata), in the municipality of Durango was established by infestation index. Immature and mature pods were obtained from 22 bushes during the months of June to September 2013. The pods were placed in emergence chambers, maintained at a temperature of 35±2°C and 70±10% RH, until adults were obtained. In June, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 10 May 2016 · 7,682 accessesView PDF Cite

HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractNew Opportunities for Fullerenes and for GrapheneClive DelmonteThis is a conjecture which defines a new class of electrically conducting polymer that chemically confines metals, ions or clusters within an electric potential constraining them to react in ways novel to chemistry. The polymers are planar on a planar surface and adhere as a П-bonded electron sheet to planar, electron-delocalized surfaces as in Fullerenes, graphene (both sides) and graphite. … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 1 Jan 2016 · 13,958 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Studies of Epiphytic Microalgae and Epiphytic Zooplankton on Seaweeds of the Eastern Harbor, Alexandria, EgyptN. G. Shams El-Din, N. A. Shaltout, M. Z. Nassar, A. SolimanA qualitative and quantitative study on the epiphytic microalgae and epiphytic zooplankton were conducted in order to follow up their community structures on seaweeds in relation to some physico-chemical variables in the coastal waters of the Eastern Harbor of Alexandria. Water and macroalgal samples were collected seasonally during two years successively: Winter, summer, autumn (2012) and spring (2013). The collected … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,587 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of the Maximum Density Ratio Between Liquid and Vapor on Cavitating SimulationGuangjian Zhang, Weidong Shi, Ling Zhou, Desheng ZhangThe Filter-Based Model (FBM), which was built into CFX through CFX Expression Language (CEL) and a homogeneous cavitation model were employed to simulate cavitating flow around a 2D Clark-y hydrofoil. The effect of a maximum density ratio between liquid and vapor on sheet and cloud cavitating simulation was investigated. The results show that the maximum density ratio has a significant … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2015 · 7,433 accessesView PDF Cite
