Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydraulic Flow through Engineering Bentonite-Based Containment BarriersEric Wooi Kee Loh, Devapriya Chitral WijeyesekeraThis paper presents the use of software modelling as a tool to study the impact of hydraulic "resistivity" on the contaminant transport through bentonite-based containment barriers. A sensitivity analysis on the predicted data was carried out by varying the boundary conditions as well as the hydraulic resistance to flow through varying contaminant transport parameters. Accordingly, both advective and diffusive flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2015 · 6,703 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Green Roof Model Predictions with Experimental DataSergio Quezada-García, Manuela Azucena Escobedo-Izquierdo, Juan José Ambriz-García et al.In this study, the results of a green roof model are presented and compared with experimental data. Good agreement between simulation and experiment were found for different experimental conditions that were carried out in a controlled environment laboratory. The study of green roof heat transfer processes is important because it allows a better thermal design in buildings; the use of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMETHODS OF COMPLEX OBJECT'S TRANSFER FUNCTION CALCULATION FOR DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEMAlexander V. Martirosyan, Karina V. Martirosyan, Eduard G. YanukyanOne of the ways of solving the stable operation mode of the mineral water field's setting problem is the development and implementation of the hydromineral recourses distributed control system. In this article the consideration of the control system's development on the basis of regulator synthesis approach is offered. The purpose of this study is to present a technique of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2014 · 6,749 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COSSERAT-TYPE PLATE THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION TO CARBON NANOTUBE MICROSTRUCTUREAbdellatif Selmi, Hedi Hassis, Issam Doghri, Hatem ZenzriThe predictive capabilities of plate and shell theories greatly depend on their underlying kinematic assumptions. In this study, we develop a Cosserat-type elastic plate theory which accounts for rotations around the normal to the mid-surface plane (so-called drilling rotations). Internal loads, equilibrium equations, boundary conditions and constitutive equations are derived. The case of a Single Walled carbon Nanotube (SWNT) modelled … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 12 May 2014 · 6,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFINITE VOLUME METHOD OF MODELLING TRANSIENT GROUNDWATER FLOWN. Muyinda, G. Kakuba, J. M. MangoIn the field of computational fluid dynamics, the finite volume method is dominant over other numerical techniques like the finite difference and finite element methods because the underlying physical quantities are conserved at the discrete level. In the present study, the finite volume method is used to solve an isotropic transient groundwater flow model to obtain hydraulic heads and flow … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2014 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractACCURATE AND FAST PUPIL LOCALIZATION USING CONTRAST STRETCHING, SEED FILLING AND CIRCULAR GEOMETRICAL CONSTRAINTSIman A. Saad, Loay E. George, Ahmad A. TayyarIris segmentation is the most contested issue in the iris recognition system, since noise and poor image quality can significantly affect accuracy of iris localization stage. Therefore, very careful attention has to be paid for the segmentation process if only an accurate result is expected. This study presents a new method for precise pupil detection capable of handling the unconstrained … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Nov 2013 · 7,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE THEORETICAL SIMULATION OF AXIAL VIBRATIONS IN FINITE CYLINDRICAL PIEZOELECTRIC SHELL MADE OF THE TRIGONAL (3M) CRYSTALH. Zeynali, B. Jazi, R. KarimiThe axial vibration in a thin layer of finite cylinder made of trigonal (3M) piezoelectric crystal are investigated. By using a closed form solution of the equations of motion and applying new boundary conditions the effects of the geometrical dimensions, axial hydrostatic pressure and electrostatic potential along the axis of the cylinder shell on oscillation frequency and amplitude of spatial … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2013 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPesticide use in South and South-East Asia: Environmental Public Health and Legal ConcernsAbhik GuptaProblem statement: The South and South East Asian countries are characterized by their rich biodiversity as well as cultural diversity. Agricultural expansion for livelihood security is leading to an increase in pesticide application in this region. It has been observed that because of the hot and humid conditions prevalent in this region, most farmers and pesticide applicators do not use … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2012 · 8,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMining of Datasets with an Enhanced Apriori AlgorithmS. Nandagopal, V. P. Arunachalam, S. KarthikProblem statement: Classical association rules are mostly mining intra-transaction associations i.e., associations among items within the same transaction where the idea behind the transaction could be the items bought by the same customer on the same day. The goal of inter-transaction association rules is to represent the associations between various events found in different transactions. Approach: In this study, we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2012 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Separation and Boubaker Polynomial Expansion Scheme for Solving the Neutron Transport EquationDada O.M., O.B. Awojoyogbe, M. Agida, K. BoubakerProblem statement: In this study, we present general analytical solutions to the Neutron Boltzmann Transport Equation NBTE using a polynomial expansion scheme. Approach: Some simple assumptions have been introduced in the main system thanks to the Boubaker Polynomial Expansion Scheme (BPES) in order to make the general analytical procedure simple and adaptable for solving similar real life problems.
