Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENERGY EFFICIENT FLOW AND LEVEL CONTROL IN A HYDRO POWER PLANT USING FUZZY LOGICA. Selwin Mich Priyadharson, M. S. Saravanan, N. Gomathi et al.The main objective and an innovative design of this work is to improve the energy efficiency by controlling the variables flow and level in a hydroelectric power plant using Programmable Logic Control (PLC)-Human Machine Interface (HMI) and fuzzy logic approach. This project will focus on design and development of flow and level controller for small scale hydro generating units by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 19 Apr 2014 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Radial and Axial Flow Chromatography for Monoclonal Antibody Downstream Processing at Bench and Pilot ScalesAli Demirci, Frank Leu, F. James BaileyAxial Flow Chromatography (AFC) is widely used for the purification of therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies (MAbs). However, AFC columns can generate high pressure drops across the resin bed, preventing operation of the column at high flow rates especially at pilot or manufacturing-scales. Radial Flow Chromatography (RFC) was developed to provide lower pressure drops during chromatographic separations. In these studies, small and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 11,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Qualitative Approach of Identifying Major Cost Influencing Factors in Palm Oil Mills and the Relations towards Production Cost of Crude Palm OilElaine Lau Ying Man, Adam BaharumProblem statement: The oil palm industry, which heavily depends on the world market, is an export oriented industry. World’s palm oil consumption was growing over the years. In addition, Indonesia and Malaysia dominated the oil palm industry. The oil palm industry in Malaysia is very competitive and become one of the major economic sectors contributing to the total revenue of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 15,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimultaneous Thermodynamic and Kinetic Parameters Determination Using Differential Scanning CalorimetryNader Frikha, Mohamed Bouroukba, Eric Schaer, Jean-Leon HouzelotProblem statement: The determination of reaction kinetics is of major importance, as for industrial reactors optimization as for environmental reasons or energy limitations. Although calorimetry is often used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters alone, the question that arises is: how can we apply the Differential Scanning Calorimetry for the determination of kinetic parameters. The objective of this study consists … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBanking Efficiency in Lebanon: An Empirical InvestigationMouataz Zreika, Nasser ElkanjProblem statement: The main goal behind this study is to identify whether banks are working at full efficiency or not and spot the changes in efficiency for banks operating in Lebanon after 2007 financial crisis. Approach: This study was conducted to examine the technical efficiency of 40 banks operating in Lebanon over the two sub-periods 2002-2006 and 2006-2009 using Data … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 Feb 2011 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Management of Effluents from Small Piggery Farms in MexicoJ.L. de Victorica-Almeida, M. Galván-García, R. Ayala-RuizIn Mexico, pig farming is the third most important livestock activity due to its contribution to the total meat production. However, it is estimated that around 38% of pig farms dispose their wastewaters without any treatment directly into the nation’s water bodies, which in turn has a severe impact in the environment. One reason for not treating is the high … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite

The objectives of this research is to develop an Archimedean’s Pipe-Screw especially for water pumping in case of low head high volume form open farm … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 22 Apr 2014 · 7,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractACCELERATION AND PARTICLE FIELD INTERACTIONS OF COSMIC RAYS II: CALCULATIONSA. Tawfik, A. Saleh, M.T. Ghoneim et al.The Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) is still a one of the most controversial physical problems, especially that all potential acceleration mechanisms are not entirely able to explain the source of UHECR and their energy scale. Based on our generic acceleration model, that suggests different types of electromagnetic interactions between the cosmic charged particles and the different configurations of … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jul 2013 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvances in Menaquinone-7 Production by Bacillus subtilis Natto: Fed-Batch Glycerol AdditionAydin Berenjian, Raja Mahanama, Andrea Talbot et al.Menaquinone-7 was produced by fermentation mainly using Bacillus subtilis species. Due to the low concentration of menaquinone-7 in fermentation processes and the associated expense of recovering the menaquinone-7, it was desirable to improve the fermentation concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fed-batch glycerol addition in the production of menaquinone-7 during the fermentation of Bacillus … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 10,545 accessesView PDFCite
