Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: AgNO3 and NaBH4 were used as a silver precursor and reducing agent, respectively. The properties of Ag/MMT nanocomposites were studied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Characterization in Steel Casting and Recycling Opportunities in EuropeSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara Zanetti, Barbara RuffinoThe wastes coming from a steel foundry located in Italy, producing about 600,000 t/y of steel slabs, are considered in this work. The plant produces about 143,000 t/y of wastes, made of furnace and ladle slags (84%), pelletized dust (8%) and oxidised shaving (8%). The waste materials have been characterised by means of particle-size and chemical analyses, and some reuse/recycle … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Monitoring and Injury Risk Warning Algorithm Based on Data Fusion of Motor Muscle ContractionGuomin Wang, Jingying HuangThe existing sports injury warning algorithms are difficult to achieve dynamic injury risk modeling based on individual muscle characteristics while ensuring real-time fusion efficiency of multimodal signals. This article proposes a real-time muscle contraction state perception and injury risk warning algorithm based on adaptive weighted feature fusion and lightweight temporal modeling. The system synchronously collected surface electromyography (sEMG), Inertial Measurement … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 1,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOnline Handwritten Physics Expression Recognition Using a CRNN-LSTM ApproachUjwala Pritam Kolte, Sachin Arun NaikOptical Character Recognition (OCR) is crucial for identifying and extracting information from scientific documents. However, recognizing online handwritten physics expressions remains a relatively unexplored area of research. In the existing literature, most of the researchers worked on CNN classification to identify mathematical expressions. The traditional Convolution Neural Network (CNN) has limitations for extracting sequential data. This study proposes a CRNN … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Terrain Classification with a Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimized Deep Supervised Autoencoder ModelTiny Du Toit, Hennie Kruger, Annette Van Der MerweTerrain classification according to specific terrain attributes, has become increasingly important in certain decision-making scenarios. Automated robots are often utilized to traverse a specific surface to collect data that can be used in classification models to identify a specific terrain. In this study, a supervised autoencoder model (i.e., an autoencoder combined with a supervised learner such as a multilayer perceptron) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 9 · 31 Aug 2023 · 5,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Study of the Dynamics of a Cebâşev ManipulatorRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe paper presents a new method for determining the dynamic parameters of a Cebâşev conveyor mechanism, solvable in two steps. In the first step, the classic method of preserving the kinetic energy of the entire mechanism is used to determine the rotating mass of the Cebâşev mechanism denoted by J*, this being the dynamic rotating mass of the entire mechanism … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2022 · 5,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetostatics of a 2T9R Robot MechanismFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Adriana ComanescuThe paper presents in detail a method of calculating the forces acting on a 2T9R type robot. In order to determine the reactions (forces in the kinematic couples), one must first determine the inertial forces in the mechanism to which one or more useful loads of the robot can be added. The torsor of the inertia forces is calculated with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2022 · 6,903 accessesView PDFCite
