Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Optimization for Materially Informed Design to Robotic Production ProcessesH. Bier, S. MostafaviHyperbody’s materially informed Design-to-Robotic-Production (D2RP) processes for additive and subtractive manufacturing aim to achieve performative porosity in architecture at various scales. An extended series of D2RP experiments aiming to produce prototypes at 1:1 scale wherein design materiality has been approached from both digital and physical perspectives were recently implemented. At digital materiality level, a customized computational design framework for compression … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 11 Sep 2015 · 9,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Relationship between Habitat Altitude, Enviromental Factors and Morphological Characteristics of Pluchea Indica, Ageratum Conyzoides and Elephantopus ScaberYuliani, Soemarno, Bagyo Yanuwiadi, Amin Setyo LeksonoAsteraceae family has various benefit as herbal medicine and phytochemical affect (biopesticides). It can grow in different habitats but the morphological and physiological characters of Asteraceae depend on the environmental factor. The aims of the study is to describe the variation of height of stems and width of leaves from three species of Asteraceae family (Pluchea indica, Ageratum conyzoides and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasalt as Pozzolana and Filler in Ordinary Portland CementH. El-Didamony, I.M. Helmy, Randa M. Osman, A.M. HabboudPozzolana is defined as a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials which in itself possess little or no cementing properties, but will in a finally divided form and in the presence of moisture react with Ca(OH)2 at ordinary temperature to form compound possessing cementious properties. Pozzolanic cement contains Portland cement as one of their main components in addition to natural … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2015 · 7,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeophysical and Geological Studies of the Spread and Industrial Quality of Okurike Barite DepositAnthony E. Akpan, Ebong D. Ebong, Stephen E. Ekwok, Sackey JosephInvestors have been avoiding the Okurike Barite due to paucity of information on its economic worth in spite of the high demand for barites by the local industries. This study was embarked upon to determine the spread and industrial quality of the barite deposit in order to bridge the information gap. The Okurike Barite mineralised site was investigated using geophysical … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPORE-PRESSURE PREDICTION FROM SEIMIC DATA IN PARTS OF THE ONSHORE NIGER DELTA SEDIMENTARY BASINEmujakporue Omokenu GodwinPore pressure prediction in parts of the Onshore Niger Delta Sedimentary Basin using seismic reflection data has been carried out. The Bower’s technique of velocity-to-pore pressure transform was adopted. The seismic velocities were derived from the seismic data using layer cake velocity model and were later compared with the available sonic logs velocities obtained from the area. Parameters in the … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,437 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rigorous Mathematical Approach for Petrophysical Properties EstimationDario VibertiProblem statement: Over the last few decades, the oil industry has shown a growing interest in the new risk analysis methodologies aimed at the evaluation of the uncertainties associated with reservoir exploitation. In particular, the effort is made to take all possible sources of uncertainties into account so that not only the strengths but also the potential weaknesses of each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Sintering Temperature Effect on the Shrinkage Behavior of Cobalt Chromium AlloyM. Ghazali Kamardan, N. Hidayah A. Zaidi, M. Noh Dalimin et al.Problem Statement: Co-Cr based alloys which is well known for its high Young’s modulus, fatigue strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance is an important metallic bio-material. However, till date there are only two type of Co-Cr alloy which are the castable and wrought cobalt alloy. Powder Metallurgy route for cobalt is expected to give better result of Co-Cr alloy. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSH Waves Diffusion in Fluid-Saturated MediumC.C. Dennis Ling, S. Y. Faisal, A. A. ZainalProblem statement: Characteristics of the seismic waves have been studied mainly the amplitudes, attenuation, frequency, porosity and the velocity of the waves. In this study, the SH-waves were studied for the diffusion which was related to the diffraction of SH-waves in the saturated medium. Approach: The elastic wave equation was being used to show the SH-waves. A comparison was made … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
