Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHomogeneous Bubbles during Jet Impingement QuenchingM. A. Islam, S. F. AhmedProblem statement: Jet impingement quenching has a very effective and large cooling potential and is a very effective means of cooling for many applications. It gives rise to heterogeneous and/or homogeneous nucleation of bubbles, which is yet to be explored. Approach: Analytically investigate the phenomenon that happened during a brief contact of a water jet impinging on a hot surface. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCausal Factors Influencing Adversity Quotient of Twelfth Grade and Third-Year Vocational StudentsRachapoom Pangma, Sombat Tayraukham, Prasart NuangchalermProblem statement: The aim of this research was to study the causal factors influencing students’ adversity between twelfth grade and third-year vocational students in Sisaket province, Thailand. Six hundred and seventy two of twelfth grade and 376 third-year vocational students were selected by multi-stage random sampling techniques. Approach: The instruments used for collecting data were: A scale on self-esteem, a … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Calculation and Measurement Techniques of Earth Resistance ValuesN. Mohamad Nor, R. Rajab, K. RamarMuch research has been published in the literature on the mathematical approaches to obtain the most accurate earth resistance and resistivity values. However, the published research only conducted the comparisons among the mathematical/computational techniques and so far none has conducted validation tests of these mathematical/computational methods against the real earth resistance measurement at real field sites. Thus, the main contribution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Robust UPFC Controller Using H∞ Control Theory in Electric Power SystemSeyed Abbas Taher, Shahabeddin Akbari, Ali Abdolalipour, Reza HemattiAn industrial plant, such a power system, always contains parametric uncertainties. In the design of a controller the uncertainties have to be considered. Otherwise, if the real plant differs from the assumed plant model, a controller, designed based on classical controller design approaches, may not ensure the stability of the overall system. In this paper design of robust control for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrack Analysis of Concrete Arch Dams Using Micro-Planes Damage Based Constitutive RelationsM. Labibzadeh, S.A. SadrnejadAmong the various numerical simulating models of plane concrete, the micro-planes models have an excellent position. These models are not as complicated as microscopic models such as discrete particles models and do not have the shortcomings of macroscopic models based on the stress or strain invariants. The object of this study is the application of author's recently developed micro-planes damage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Probability Curves Obtained from 2 Quantitative Allergen-specific IgE Assays: FEIA and 3gAllergyTMT. M. Li, T. Chuang, S. M. Li, D. Hovanec-BurnsThe validity and benefit of probability curves in allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing and their applicability to more than a few allergens are still pending. One study[1] presented probability curves for 4 food allergens and proposed decision points to rule out the need for food challenges in his clinic. Since then, such cutoffs were reported by Boyano-Martinez[2] to be dependent on … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring Hydraulic Conductivity Using Geotechnical CentrifugeNur Aishah Zarime, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study investigated the validity of hydraulic conductivity value using Mini Column Infiltration Test. Granitic residual soils from Broga Selangor, Malaysia were tested to obtain the hydraulic conductivity value in relatively shorter time. Soil samples were physically characterized before being tested using Centrifuge Mini Column Infiltration Technique. A normal 1-g Falling Head Permeability Test (Kf) was also being performed as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2017 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Clients’ Qualities on Green Design Performance of Building Projects in Malaysia-Descriptive StudyMohamed S. Elforgani, Ismail RahmatProblem statement: In the construction industry, success of building projects greatly depends on the client’s performance. The performance of clients is crucial since decisions made will influence the overall project performance. Typically, clients are represented by managerial and technical representatives during the design process. They play major roles in conveying required information to the design team regarding their future project. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 18 Aug 2012 · 7,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Applicability of the Short-run Phillips curve to NamibiaCyril A. OgbokorIn this research, we invoke linear and logarithmic regression models to empirically test the validity of the Short-run Phillips curve for Namibia by relying on macroeconomic time-series data running from 1991 to 2005.Our results offer some support for the presence of the phenomenon of stagflation in Namibia. This is rather contradictory to the underlying philosophy of the original Phillips curve. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Design Strategy for Volumetric Efficiency Improvement in a Multi-cylinder Stationary Diesel Engine and its Validity under Transient Engine OperationP. Seenikannan, V.M. Periasamy, P. NagarajThis paper proposes an approach to improve engine performance of volumetric efficiency of a multi cylinder diesel engine. A computer simulation model is used to compare volumetric efficiency with instantaneous values. A baseline engine model is first correlated with measured volumetric efficiency data to establish confidence in the engine model's predictions. A derivative of the baseline model with exhaust manifold, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
