Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevenue Determinants in Tourism MarketMohammad Mohebi, Khalid Abdul RahimProblem statement: Malaysian tourism industry has been growing considerably in recent years. The number of tourist arrivals has grown by 25% during 2006-2008. In comparison with Thailand and Singapore, Malaysia has more tourist arrivals but it has earned less income. The purpose of the study was to determine the major factors affecting inbound tourism expenditure in Malaysia. Approach: A panel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact Assessment and Utilization of Eastern RedcedarSalim Hiziroglu, Difei ZhangProblem statement: The fast invasion of eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) has been considered a significant problem to the environment and rural communities. Approach: This study examined the adverse ecological and economic impacts of eastern redcedar and proposed the sustainable development of value-added panel products from such under-utilized invasive species. Also what economic sectors were mostly influenced was examined. Additionally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade Relationship between Oman and Its Major Trading Asian PartnersAbdusalam F. YahiaProblem statement: No empirical research exists that examines the interdependence of trade between Oman and its five major trading Asian partners (Emirates, Japan, South-Korea, Thailand and Mainland China). This study attempted to fill this gap in the literature by examining the interaction of trade between Oman and its major trading Asian partner. Particularly, this study attempted to answer the very … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShort-Run Employment Functions in Manufacturing IndustriesMd. Azizul Baten, Monsur Ahmed Chowdhury, Anton Abdulbasah Kamil, Rumana MomtazProblem statement: Increasing growth of population and shortage of producing capacity in Bangladesh have caused serious unemployment crisis and has forced the authorities to look for ways to reduce unemployment rate. Due to difference of structure and technology used in economic sectors and activities, the effects of factors on employment are different. So, for the purpose of findings alternatives to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,442 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Performance of Uncoated Tungsten Carbide Insert in End Milling Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al 4V through Work Piece PreheatingL. Turnad Ginta, Mohd Amri Lajis, A.K.M. Nurul AminProblem statement: Titanium alloys have been used widely in the aerospace, chemical and petroleum industry because of their high specific strength, fracture resistance and superior resistance to corrosion. Titanium alloys have a very high strength-to-weight ratio making them very suitable for aircraft engines and airframe manufacture. Approach: The use of titanium alloys as engine component materials is due to their … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New System to Analyze Pulsatile Flow Characteristics in Elastic Tubes for Hemodynamic ApplicationsAfshin Anssari-Benam, Mohammad Tafazzoli-Shadpour, Nasser Fatouraee et al.In this research, we present a new designed experimental setup for study of characteristics of pulsatile flow in elastic tubes, aiming to simulate arterial blood flow. This system includes four major components: (1) a pulsatile pump producing original arterial flow, (2) an elastic element to simulate coupling of the heart with the arterial system, (3) an elastic tube with mechanical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Analysis for The FGM Thick Cylinders Under Combined Pressure and Temperature LoadingK. Abrinia, H. Naee, F. Sadeghi, F. DjavanroodiAn analytical solution for computing the radial and circumferential stresses in a FGM thick cylindrical vessel under the influence of internal pressure and temperature is presented in this paper. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. Nevertheless the value … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
