Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleElectro-diagnostic and Clinical Changes of Peripheral Neuropathies in Bam Earthquake VictimsNaser Zangiabadi, Mohammad Naeem AhrariTo examine and diagnose patients who injured in Bam earthquake at 5:26:52 Am (local time) on Friday, December 26, 2003 with traumatic peripheral neuropathies then treat and follow up. A longitudinal study was deigned. 159 patients with traumatic neuropathies were selected at the first stage of study. After six months follow up only 39 patients satisfied to enter the study. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe 11th February, 2004 Earthquake of The Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-ZoubiThe Dead Sea fault system and its branching faults represent one of the most tectonically active regions in the Middle East. The present investigation emphasis on the recent earthquake swarm, which occurred at the end of 2003 and extended to the middle of July 2004 with critical examination on the strongest event of 11th Feb. 2004. The present study examines … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEarthquake Airbags, New Devices to Save Lives in Earthquakes, Tornados and Similar Disasters Resulting from Building CrashesAmir Hashem Shahidi BonjarEarthquake Airbag (EA) is a new terminology being introduced for the earthquake literature of the world. According to literature surveys, this terminology has not been used previously. Based on many scientific reports, fatality rates are lower in vehicles equipped with airbags than unequipped ones. Accordingly, it was postulated that similar structures can be adopted in buildings to protect people and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Boundary Conditions on the Behavior of an Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiThe finite element model is used to simulate the behavior of the full scale instrumented anchored reinforced wall. The validated finite element model is then used to carry out parametric studies to ascertain the influence of the boundary conditions on the behavior of the wall. The boundaries at the crest, facing and base of the wall are varied to study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Sine and Cosine Components in Love Waves and Rayleigh Waves for Energy Hauling during EarthquakeZainal Abdul Aziz, Dennis Ling Chuan ChingProblem statement: Love waves or shear waves are referred to dispersive SH waves. The diffusive parameters are found to produce complex amplitude and diffusive waves for energy hauling. Approach: Analytical solutions are found for analysis and discussions. Results: When the standing waves are compared with the Love waves, similar cosine component is found in both waves. Energy hauling between waves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy of Impact between Adjacent Structures during of Earthquake and their Effective ParametersAlireza M. Goltabar, R. Shamstabar Kami, A. EbadiIn this research, buildings with 2-15 stories and different heights were put together using GAP joint element and nonlinear time-history analyses were done for Tabas, Elcentro and Sakaria accelerographs. The responses of both impact and non-impact cases were compared. With results analyzing, we found out that the impact increased the responses in taller buildings but decreased them in shorter ones. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleManufacturing of Granular Matrix with Diatomacious earth, Lime and Sugarcane Bagasse ash to Encapsulate Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernema glaseri)L.V. Bustamante-Espinosa, A. Castañeda-Ovando, J. Hernández-Ávila et al.An alternative for pest control in corn production is the use of biopesticides formulated with entomopathogenic nematodes encapsulated in granular matrices. However, it has been observed that the granular matrices´ lack of resistance to handling and transport causes their deterioration, therefore limiting their use. This study analyzes the use of lime and sugarcane bagasse ash as stabilizer additives in granular … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2020 · 7,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVisual Contact between Two Earth’s SatellitesM. E. Awad, M. A. Sharaf, E. H. KhatabProblem statement: In this study, an analytical expression for predicting mutually visible between Earth’s satellites is developed. Approach: A relative satellite-satellite visibility function is developed in terms of orbital elements for two satellites in the same orbital plane. Also, a simple computational algorithm is expressed to compute the visibility function. Results: This study presents a new and easy method to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 27 Feb 2012 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Activation Energies on Thermal Explosion in the Interior of the EarthAmos Oladele PopoolaProblem statement: Literatures have shown that thermal processes in the interior of the earth and the classical thermal explosion are analogous and that combustion processes are characterized by ignition and explosion. The heat released during the thermal explosion that occurs in the interior of the earth requires more attention. Approach: The study investigated the role of activation energies ratio in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2011 · 7,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil-moisture Retention Characteristics of Earth Materials in the Weathering Profile over a Porphyritic Biotite GraniteJohn Kuna RajProblem statement: Three broad morphological zones and several sub-zones were differentiated within the weathering profile based on variations in earth materials and the degree of preservation of original bedrock minerals, textures and structures. Approach: The topmost Zone I (Grade 6) is some 12 m thick and comprises completely weathered bedrock materials (mainly a stiff, clayey sand) with indistinct relict bedrock … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,474 accessesView PDFCite
