Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Location of Static Var Compensator Device for Damping OscillationsM. W. Mustafa, N. MagajiProblem statement: Static Var Compensators (SVC) devices are used to improve voltage and reactive power conditions in AC systems. An additional task of SVC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping. The effectiveness of this controller depends on its optimal location and proper signal selection in the power system network. A residue factor had been proposed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of the Performance of Single-Phase Capacitor-Run Induction MotorMahdi Salman AlshamasinThe aim of the study was to suggest optimal solution for the impact of harmonics on the performance of Capacitor-Run Motor (CRM), the most commonly used single-phase motor. Therefore, investigations were carried out over the entire slip from no-load condition up to the locked-rotor condition, for harmonics of various orders in the case of using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) speed control. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Microbial Inoculants and the Impact of Soil Application on Rice Seedlings GrowthHayyan Ismaeil Al-Taweil, Mohammad Bin Osman, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YussofProblem statement: The present study was undertaken to assess the Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) as carrier of Biofertilizer and microbial inoculants interaction. A study in Malaysia had shown a strain of Trichoderma viride and Bacillus megaterium were isolated from the soil. Questions were raised whether the tow inoculants compatible to be mixed in same carrier? It is important to develop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Enhancement of Weightlifters during Snatch through Reducing Torque on Joints by Particle Swarm OptimizationFirooz Salaami, Nima Jamshidi, Mostafa Rostami, Siamak NajarianIn this research, an athlete's body on sagittal plane in tension phase of snatch weightlifting has been modeled in two dimensions for calculating the generated torques in joints. The error back propagation multi-layer perceptrons has been used for modeling the torque through changing the angular velocity, angular acceleration and absolute angle of each segment. Finally, the torque in joints has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractK-Step Rational Runge-Kutta Method for Solution of Stiff System of Ordinary Differential EquationsP.O. Babatola, R.A. Ademiluyi, E.A. AreoThis study described the development, analysis and implementation of K-step implicit rational Runge-Kutta schemes for solution of stiff system of ordinary differential equations. Its development adopted taylor and binomial series expansion techniques to generate its parameters. The analysis of its basic properties adopted dalhquist a-stability model test equation and the results showed that the scheme was a-stable, consistent and convergent. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl Techniques in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) SystemsH. Mirinejad, S. H. Sadati, M. Ghasemian, H. TorabProblem statement: Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are among the main installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The purpose of the HVAC systems is normally to provide a comfortable environment in terms of temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters for the occupants as well as to save energy. Achieving these objectives requires a suitable control system design. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 19,948 accessesView PDFCite

Bel Hadj TaharNowadays, techniques for education are based on the combination of theoretical formulas, experimental measurement and simulation approaches. Theoretical analysis, experimental and simulation approaches based educations allow developing simple and non expensive tools for the aim of studying complex problems in optical network communication. Theoretical formulas, used to describe the non linear effects on digital lightwave links, may by simplified with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Calibration of Frequency Compensation System in Computer-Controlled Patch-Clamp AmplifierJun Xiong, Gang Hu, Anlian QuComputer-controlled patch-clamp amplifier is a digitally controlled analog device used to record the cellular ion channel currents in electrophysiology research. The inherent bandwidth and performance of the headstage is limited by the stray capacitance and distributed capacitance across the feedback resistors. In order to effectively improve the performance of the headstage, the paper advanced a simplified automatic calibration method of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrosion of Copper Metal in Presence of Binary MixturesMedhat A. Shaker, Hanaa H. Abdel-RahmanThe rates of copper corrosion were determined in presence and in absence of different compositions of water-ethanol, -ethylene glycol, -glycerol, -dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and -dioxane binary mixtures. The rates of corrosion were found to decrease by increasing the concentration of solvents. The percent inhibition range from 10.9 to 78.2% depends on the nature of solvent and its concentration. The calculated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
