Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite

Hassan, Sadeq Hussein BakhyProblem statement: One are now interested to investigate the optimum design procedure for a finger driving mechanism to have a good configuration of the finger for its utilization in hand prosthesis. A Geometric Optimization of Three-Phalanx Prosthesis Underactuated Fingers (TPPUF) based on a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was presented. Approach: Firstly, a numerical evaluation of the human-like motion was obtained … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLow Power Phase Locked Loop Frequency Synthesizer for 2.4 GHz Band ZigbeeNesreen Mahmoud Hammam Ismail, Masuri OthmanProblem statement: Wireless communication systems are required for many applications. There are different standards for these systems. IEEE 802.15.4 defines the communication system standard for zigbee. This study discussed designing one of the blocks of zigbee transceiver which is the Phase Locked Loop (PLL). A major target for any communication systems is saving battery power, especially for zigbee as it … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInverse Sine Phase Detector Phase Locked Loop Associated with Modified Multi Band LC Quadrature Voltage Controlled Oscillator for Wireless Communication Systems at 0.9, 1.8, 2.4, 3.5 GHzMahmoud AbdellaouiProblem statement: In this study and in consequence of the restricted performance of the multi standard wireless receiver utilizing the classical architectures, we proposed and presented a new architecture of multi band wireless receiver based on an Inverse Sine Phase Detector Phase Locked Loop (ISPDPLL) associated with modified multi band LC quadrature Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), supporting GSM/DCS/DECT/Bluetooth/WiMax systems. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization 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 · 7,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSocial Capital Concerning a Conservation of Sweet Wild Trees (Phak Whanpa) in a Northeastern Thailand CommunityPhiphaporn Ravipolsadtanan, Worapol Aengwanich, Prasopsuk LittidetProblem statement: Thai people favored to eat Sweet Wild Trees (Phak Whan Pa). The wild trees naturally grew quite slowly in the forests. Their leaves, eaten as vegetables, could not meet market demand nationwide. Seedling was difficult and people were not interested in planting them. Support from government and/or public sectors was slow. Those were the causes for shortages of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHarmonics Phase Shifter for a Three-Phase System with Voltage Control by Integral-Cycle Triggering Mode of ThyristorsI. Badran, A.L. Mahmood, M.T. LazimIn integral-cycle triggering mode of voltage control, subharmonic as well as higher order harmonic components are generated in the load voltage waveforms of a three-phase system. These harmonic components are found to be unbalanced in phase displacement. The correction of the unbalanced phase displacement angles of a particular subharmonic or higher order harmonic for this type of triggering is investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Stent Geometry on Phase Shift between Pressure and Flow Waveforms in Stented Human Coronary ArteryVahab Dehlaghi, Siamak Najarian, Mohammad Tafazzoli ShadpourShear stress is known to play a central role in restenosis formation and is sensitive to stent geometry. Alterations of the phase shift between pressure and flow waveform created by a different stents were studied to compare the hemodynamic effects of stent design properties on restenosis in stented human coronary artery. Blood pressure waveforms were computed in three different sites, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign of Low Phase Noise SIPC based Complementary LC-QVCO for IEEE 802.11a ApplicationHarikrishnan Ramiah, Tun Zainal Azni ZulkifliThe paper presents the design of a source injection parallel coupled (SIPC) quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (QVCO), realized in a complementary architecture, which is usually preferred in low-power applications as it exploits ≈50% bias current reduction with double efficiency compared to the structure with single coupled, when operating in the current-limited regime. A stacked spiral inductor exhibiting a Q factor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePharmacophore Pattern Identification of Tachykinin Receptor Selective Peptide Agonists: Implications in Receptor SelectivityAnjali Dike, Indu R. Chandrashekaran, Anil K. Mantha et al.The mammalian tachykinin (TK) peptides and their three Neurokinin (NK1, NK2 and NK3) receptors represent an effector system with wide-ranging actions on neuronal, airway smooth muscle, mucosal, endothelial, immune, inflammatory and remodeling cell function. Recent clinical and preclinical data suggests the pathophysiological role of TKs in various diseases including asthma, emesis and depression.
