Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Strength of Standard Involute Gear Teeth with Novel Circular Root Fillet DesignV. Spitas, Th. Costopoulos, C. SpitasIn this study the idea of spur gear teeth with circular instead of the standard trochoidal root fillet is introduced and investigated numerically using BEM. The strength of these new teeth is studied in comparison with the standard design by discretizing the tooth boundary using isoparametric Boundary Elements. In order to facilitate the analysis the teeth are treated as non-dimensional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPush-pull Strategy with Trap Crops, Neem and Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus for Insecticide Resistance Management in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in CottonP. Duraimurugan, A. RegupathyInsecticide resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is a major threat to cotton production in India. The virus infection was found to increase the susceptibility of H. armigera to the insecticides. But, use of Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) on a larger scale and on cotton due to leaf alkalinity poses certain practical problems. Hence, studies were carried out to assess the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Properties Analysis of Frictional Winding Mechanism with Bobbin Elastic SupportMohammed A. Alnawafleh, Faisal M. Al-GhathianA mathematical model of the Frictional Winding Mechanism (FWM) with bobbin elastic supports for a search of optimal structural and physical parameters for developing new and updating existing FWMs has been carried out. The model was derived from bobbin equipped with pendulum suspension for forming cylinder shaped packages. In the derivation method it was considered that the model corresponds the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Finite-Sample Bias of the Autoregressive Parameter Under Rank-based EstimationSteven CookMonte Carlo simulation is employed to examine the finite-sample properties of the estimated autoregressive parameter associated with the Dickey-Fuller and rank-based Dickey-Fuller unit root tests. While the downward bias associated with estimator under the Dickey-Fuller test has long been noted in the literature, the corresponding properties for the rank-based test have not been considered previously. The results presented show that … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,242 accessesView PDFCite
