Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Higher Sludge Recycling Rate on Anaerobic Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent in a Semi-Commercial Closed Digester for Renewable EnergyAlawi Sulaiman, Zainuri Busu, Meisam Tabatabaei et al.Problem statement: A 500 m3 semi-commercial closed anaerobic digester was constructed for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment and methane gas capture for renewable energy. During the start-up operation period, the Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) accumulation could not be controlled and caused instability on the system. Approach: A settling tank was installed and sludge was recycled as to provide a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Improvement Using DVRC. Benachaiba, B. FerdiVoltage sags and swells in the medium and low voltage distribution grid are considered to be the most frequent type of power quality problems based on recent power quality studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is severe. The impact ranges from load disruptions to substantial economic losses up to millions of dollars. Different solutions have been developed to protect sensitive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncremental DataGrid Mining Algorithm for Mobility Prediction of Mobile UsersU. Sakthi, R.S. BhuvaneswaranProblem statement: Mobility prediction is the important issue in Personal Communication Systems (PCS). Mobile users moving logs are stored in data grid located in different locations. Distributed data mining algorithm is applied on this moving logs to generate the mobility pattern of mobile users. As new moving logs are added to the data grid, existing mobility pattern becomes invalid and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeb-based "Questions-Bank" System to Improve E-Learning Education in Qatari SchoolHosam F. El-Sofany, Noor Al-Jaidah, Shaima Ibrahim, Salha Al-kubaisiProblem statement: This study described the analysis, design and implementation of the Questions-Bank system that allows the students of primary, preparatory and secondary schools to take web-based quizzes and exams, to download course reviews and previous exams. "Questions-Bank", means that each question has a weight and area of knowledge deals with it. The system facilitated generation of automatic, balanced and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,830 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of New Load Shedding Special Protection Schemes for a Double Area Power SystemH. Seyedi, M. Sanaye-PasandIn this paper several Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) schemes are designed as special protection schemes to preserve the integrity of islands, formed following the outage of tie lines connecting two areas in a double area power system. For the purpose of analysis, the Iranian interconnected grid is simulated in a suitable power system analysis software. The grid is connected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulator for Optimization of Software Project Cost and ScheduleP. K. Suri, B. BhushanEach phase of the software design consumes some resources and hence has cost associated with it. In most of the cases cost will vary to some extent with the amount of time consumed by the design of each phase .The total cost of project, which is aggregate of the activities costs will also depends upon the project duration, can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Based Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator of a Synchronous Generator with Unbalanced LoadsA. Darabi, S.A. Soleamani, A. HassanniaVoltage stability and power quality of the electrical systems depend on proper operation of the Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) of generators. Nowadays, design technology of the AVRs is being broadly improved. According to wide range operating conditions of the generators and loads, the fuzzy AVRs are going to be the modern type of regulators, particularly, for the genset alternators operating … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Comparison of Thermal Stratification due Natural Convection in Densified LOX, LN2 TanksSeyed Ali Jazayeri, Ehsan Molla Hasanzadeh KhoeiThe growth of natural circulation and thermal stratification inside LOX, LN2 storage tanks due to heat transfer from surroundings is investigated using a non-equilibrium, two-domain, mathematical model. The two-dimensional model is considered for the liquid domain in two cases and a lumped, thermodynamic model is utilized for vapor domain. The vapor is assumed to behave like an ideal gas. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInput-Output Feedback Linearization Cascade Controller Using Genetic Algorithm for Rotary Inverted Pendulum SystemIraj Hassanzadeh, Saleh Mobayen, Abbas HarifiThe Rotary Inverted Pendulum (RIP) system is a significant classical problem of control engineering which has been investigated in the past decades. This study presents an optimum Input- Output Feedback Linearization (IOFL) cascade controller utilized Genetic Algorithm (GA). Due to the non-minimum phase behavior of the system, IOFL controller leads to unstable internal dynamics. Therefore a cascade structure is proposed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
