Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegradation of Power Generation Performance due to Effects of Various Ice Shapes and Accretions on Wind Turbine BladesAditya Bagade, Changki Mo, Abdelhamid MazherIn today’s world, green energy has become a key initiative as an alternative energy resource. Wind turbines are widely used to harvest wind energy in seasonal and cold environments. Although efficient, cold weather conditions negatively affects wind turbine operations due to ice formation. Damage from icing is seen on blade-tips when super-cooled water droplets that form in colder environments rapidly … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Application of Turbulence Models in the Calculation of Supersonic Gas JetIlina Ekaterina Evgenevna, Ilina Tamara Evgenevna, Bulat Pavel ViktorovichThis article considers the adequacy of the usage of various two-parameter differential turbulence models for the calculation of supersonic non-calculative (overexpanded and underexpanded) gas jet flowing into the environment that have a pressure equal to atmospheric. A brief historical background on the development of methods for calculating turbulent supersonic jet, which contain developed shock wave structures, is given. For each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAY PARENTS INHERIT FROM HEIRS? TOWARDS AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARENT-SPUN-OFF RELATIONSHIPFederica Brunetta, Enzo PeruffoSpin-offs create financially and administratively stand-alone units that hold a strong affiliation with the parent firm due to the concurrence of the ownership structure. So far, few studies have adopted a process perspective to investigate on the value creation of spin off transactions. We argue that spin-off generation does not constitute firm failures, as parents have clear channels to appropriate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 3 Apr 2014 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDOWNHOLE SEISMIC REFRACTION SURVEY OF WEATHERED LAYER CHARACTERISTICS IN ESCRAVOS, NIGERIAOchuko AnomohanranThe problem of datum correction in seismic surveys and the failures associated with civil engineering structures with specific reference to roads and buildings has been attributed to lack of understanding of the soil structure among others. This is why this survey on downhole seismic refraction was conducted from nine borehole locations in Escravos, Nigeria to determine the weathered layer characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Kunun-Zaki Drink Sold in Keffi MetropolisMakwin Danladi Makut, Mary Azumi Nyam, Smart Obumneme Obiekezie, Aisha Eleojo AbubakarKunun-zaki drink is a locally prepared indigenous non-alcoholic beverage that is widely produced and consumed in Nigeria. Standard microbiological methods were employed to isolate bacteria from Kunun-zaki drink sold in Keffi metropolis, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Samples of Kunun-zaki drink were collected from ten (10) different locations and their bacteriological loads were determined in terms of total bacterial counts using standard … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
