Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Truss-Inspired Model with the Uniform Strength Optimization Theory to Predict Spongy Bone Geometry in Proximal FemurHamed Pishdast, Farzam Farahmand, Gholamreza RouhiThis paper presents a new naïve approach for simulating bone remodeling process. It is based on the uniform strength theory of optimization and employs a truss-like model for bone. The truss was subjected to external loads including 5 point loads simulating the hip joint contact forces and 3 muscular forces at the attachment sites of the muscles to the bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to a Self-Organizing Federation of MQTT BrokersNicolas Kolling Ribas, Marco Aurélio SpohnIn the Publish/Subscribe (PS) communication paradigm clients producing content (i.e., publishers) send it to a broker, which relays the content to consumers (i.e., subscribers). Communication can happen asynchronously, leaving all the hurdles to the server/broker. MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is the most used P/S protocol in designing IoT applications. The usual MQTT scenario comprises a single broker, making it a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 7 · 29 Jul 2022 · 6,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesalination leading to Salinity Variations in Kuwait Marine WatersAhmad E. Al-DousariProblem statements: The salinity of seawater is a critical issue for desalination process. Approach: The salinity changes in the coastal waters of Kuwait due to large scale power and desalination activity were evaluated. Results: Systematic sampling campaigns were planned to cover the uptake and outfall of the desalination plant spreading evenly the sampling points to cover the freshwater input zone … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Proposed Statistically-Derived Compromise Cut-off CD4 Count Value for HIV Patients to Start using ARVsMaria Mokgadi Lekganyane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThe study investigated the relationship between statistical outliers and the inconsistent values of the CD4 count recommended for starting the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) by HIV-positive patients. Low CD4 counts imply a low immune system. It could be due to AIDS existence or closeness to death. An effective treatment to curb HIV impact is ART, which is recommended for low CD4 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 29 Jun 2016 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Evaluation of Sugarcane Orange Rust for First Clonal Stage of the CP Cultivar Development ProgramDuli Zhao, R. Wayne Davidson, Miguel Baltazar, Jack C. ComstockConsistent development of high-yielding sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) cultivars with resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses is critical to commercial sugarcane production. Currently, orange rust (caused by Puccinia kuehnii E.J. Butler) is a big challenge for the sugarcane production in Florida, USA. A better understanding of sugarcane genotypic variability in response to orange rust disease … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2015 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF DIFFERENT KALMAN FILTER IMPLEMENTATIONS IN POWER SYSTEM STABILITYH. H. Goh, C. W. Tai, Q. S. Chua et al.Voltage stability and voltage collapse issues have in recent years begun to constitute an unpleasant warning to the operational security of power systems. Many techniques have been investigated in order to predict the point of voltage collapse. However, there are still several restrictions due to the insufficiency of current system state information. Accompanied by the commencement of the Phasor Measurement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCEMENT OF TOTAL TECHNICAL LIFE OF AERO PLANESA. Balachandran, P. R. Suresh, Shriram K. Vasudevan, Kaushik VelusamyGovernment of India spends most of its income towards strengthening the Army, Air Force and Navy. Out of the amount spent for this, about 80% of money is spent on technology advancement and maintenance. We are coming in particular now about the Air Force and its fighter jets along with other flying machines as well. Taking Mirage-2000 as an instance, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 22 Nov 2013 · 6,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Line Stability Index for Contingency Analysis and Screening in Power SystemsC. Subramani, Subhransu Sekhar Dash, Vivek Kumar, Harish KiranProblem statement: Estimating the margin in the loadability of the power system is essential in the real time voltage stability assessment. Voltage stability is currently one of the most important research areas in the field of electrical power system. In power system operation unpredictable events is termed as contingency and may be caused by line outage in the system which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 11 Feb 2012 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
