Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Doping Position on the Active Silicon-on-Insulator Micro-Ring Resonator Based on Free Carrier InjectionB. Mardiana, Sahbuddin Shaari, P. Susthitha Menon et al.Problem statement: Metal interconnects have become significant limitation on the scaling of CMOS technologies in electronics integrated circuit. Silicon photonics has offers great potential to overcome this critical bottleneck due to the advantages of optical interconnects. Silicon-based optical micro-ring resonator is promising basic element of future electronic-photonic integrated circuits because of its wide applications on photonic devices such as modulator, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 9 Aug 2012 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of MIKE 11 Model Simulated Data for Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands TransportMahdieh Eisakhani, Md. Pauzi Abdullah, Othman Abd Karim, Amirhossein MalakahmadProblem statement: The aim of the study was to model the discharge, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD and COD) loads in each cross section of Bertam River in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands form the headwater catchment for two major rivers of the lowlands; Pahang River and Perak River. On the other hand, Cameron Highlands is undergoing rapid development … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuarter-Sweep Projected Modified Gauss-Seidel Algorithm Applied to Linear Complementarity ProblemW. S. Koh, J. Sulaiman, R. MailProblem statement: Modified Gauss-Seidel (MGS) was developed in order to improve the convergence rate of classical iterative method in solving linear system. In solving linear system iteratively, it takes longer time when many computational points involved. It is known that by applying quarter-sweep iteration scheme, it can decrease the computational operations without altering the accuracy. In this study, we investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Time-Dependent Mean and Variance of the Non-Stationary Markovian Infinite Server SystemPeter M. EllisProblem statement: In many queuing situations the average arrival and service rates vary over time. In those situations a transient solution for the state probabilities and mean and variance must be obtained. Approach: The mean and the variance of a particular infinite server model will be obtained using the state differential-difference equations and the factorial moment generating function. The average … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Groundwater Flow in Karst Aquifer, Makeng Mining AreaF. M. Rani, Z. H. ChenProblem statement: Making iron ore is one of the largest mining projects in south east of china. Due to the development of mining activities in that site, it has become necessary to increase the depth of exploration. Increase the exploration depth makes the mining tunnels subjected to the karst water inrush. Approach: A hydrological and a hydrogeological model for the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Thermal Radiation and Mixed Convection in an Inclined Circular DuctW. Lakhal, S. Trabelsi, E. Sediki, M. MoussaProblem statement: Modeling thermal radiation with simultaneous buoyancy and forced convection for real gases flowing inside system with complex geometry is a difficult task encountered in engineering applications. Purpose of this study was to research numerically the interaction of mixed convection and thermal radiation in laminar air flow inside an inclined cylindrical duct with Uniform Wall Heat Flux (UWHF). This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Activated Sludge Floc CharacteristicsIbrahim H. Mustafa, G. Ibrahim, Ali Elkamel, A. H. ElahwanyProblem Statement: The activated sludge system needs to improve the operational performance and to achieve more effective control. To realize this, a better quantitative understanding of the biofloc characteristics is required. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Study the biofloc characteristics from kinetics-mass transfer interaction point of view by quantification of the weight of the aerobic portion of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution For Frank-Kamenetskii And Activation Energy Parameters in Reactive-Diffusive Equation with Variable One-Exponential FactorO. K. Koriko, A. J. OmowayeIn this study, we considered a steady state, exothermic chemical reaction, taking the diffusion of the reactant into account and assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence with variable pre-exponent factor.
