Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating some Reliability Analysis Methodologies in Seismic DesignA. El Ghoulbzouri, A. Khamlichi, F. Lopez Almansa et al.Problem statement: Accounting for uncertainties that were present in geometric and material data of reinforced concrete buildings was performed in this study within the context of performance based seismic engineering design. Approach: Reliability of the expected performance state is assessed by using various methodologies based on finite element nonlinear static pushover analysis and specialized reliability software package. Reliability approaches that … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Human Activities on River Bank Stability (Case Study)Mojtaba Yamani, Abolghasem Goorabi, Javad DowlatiProblem statement: Investigation of interaction of human activities and rivers has become a important problem because they have essential role on rivers morphology. So, in this study Atrak River in North-East of Iran has been considered. Approach: The aim of this research was to determine human impact on the Atrak River morphology in the past and estimation of future outcomes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 9,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation Weather-Type Models of Capacitated Arc Routing Problem via HeuristicsZuhaimy Ismail, Mohammad Fadzli RamliProblem statement: In this study, we introduced a new and real-life condition of Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP), a model that represents vehicle’s operation in waste collection. In general, we studied the element of rain drops that affected the collected waste weight in total by imposed a new variable namely rainy weight age. In rainy days, the household refusals did … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,267 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 abstractProsody Modification of Standard Arabic Speech Using Combining Synchronous Overlap and Add With Fixed-Synthesis Algorithm and Multi Level Discrete Wavelet TransformYkhlef Faycal, Bensebti Mesaoud, Bendaouia LotfiProblem statement: The objective of prosody modification is to change the amplitude, duration and pitch (F0) of speech segments without altering their spectral envelop. Applications are numerous, including, Text-To-Speech synthesis, transformation of voice characteristics and foreign language learning. Several approaches have been developed in the literature to achieve this goal. The main restrictions of these latter are in the modification … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStego Encrypted Message in Any Language for Network Communication Using Quadratic MethodAhmed Ch. ShakirProblem statement: Extensive use of digital media like text, images, audio and video on the internet generated a requirement for providing traffic security. For carrying out confidential communications over public networks, it was found that simply concealing the contents of a message using cryptography was not adequate. Concealing the very fact that a communication has taken place could provide an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterface Micromotion of Cementless Hip Stems in Simulated Hip ArthroplastyMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: The design of hip prostheses has evolved over time due to various complications found after hip replacement surgery. The currently commercially available cementless femoral stems can be categorized into one of three major types, straight cylindrical, tapered rectangular and anatomical. Each type proposes a unique concept to achieve primary stability-a major requirement for bone healing process. Virtual analyses … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemory TracingEva Cogan, Chaya GurwitzProblem statement: Students completing introductory computing courses did not know how to program at the expected level. Seeking the underlying problem, we came to believe that students were focusing only on results and not connecting with the inner workings of their code. This left them poorly prepared to master increasingly complex problems. Approach: We hoped that by promoting memory tracing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Flavonoid, Quercetin, Inhibits HIV-1 Infection in Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Zainulabedin M. Saiyed, Nimisha H. Gandhi, C. N. RamchandProblem statement: Flavonoids and related polyphenols, have been known to possess cardioprotective, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-viral activities. Previous studies have shown that flavonoid, quercetin significantly downregulates expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured cells via modulation of NFκB and p38MAPK signaling pathways. In the current study, we hypothesize that quercetin exerts anti-HIV activity by differential modulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 12,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Emissions from Power Stations on the Ambient Air Quality of Selected Urban Areas in KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, two main power stations, one comprising of seven-300MW steam generators at Doha and other with eight-300MW steam generators at Subyia cover the major power requirement of Kuwait city. These stations used different types of fuel oil as the prime source of energy that has different sulpher contents (S%). Comprehensive emission inventories for year the 2001 were used to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,014 accessesView PDFCite
