Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization and Prediction of Motorcycle Injection System Performance with Feed-Forward Back-Propagation Method Artificial Neural Network (ANN)La Ode Ichlas Syahrullah, Nazaruddin SinagaThis research studied the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using feed-forward back-propagation model to optimize and predict the performance of a motorcycle fuel injection systems of gasoline. The parameters such as speed, throttle position, ignition timing and injection timing is used as the input parameters. While the parameters of fuel consumption and engine torque is used as the output … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2016 · 13,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCastration and Passive Avoidance Learning Alter the Distribution of N-Methyl D-Aspartate ReceptorSeyed Hassan Mirzaei, Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mina Tadjali, Mahbobeh KohkaloyehIn neurophysiological studies on learning and memory, L-glutamate receptors especially N-Methyl, D-Aspartate glutamate (NMDA) receptors have a major role in different aspect of the learning and memory. Two sites of mammalian brain that show high density of these receptors are CA1 region of hippocampus and Purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. Twenty four Sprague-Dawley rats were used in 4 groups: Control … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2014 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFACILITATING STUDENTS’ GEOMETRIC THINKING THROUGH VAN HIELE’S PHASE-BASED LEARNING USING TANGRAMNyet Moi Siew, Chin Lu Chong, Mohamad Razali AbdullahThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of Van Hiele’s phases of learning using tangrams on 3rd grade primary school students’ levels of geometric thinking at the first (visual) and second (analysis) level. The study further investigated if high, moderate and low ability students acquire better mastery in geometric thinking at the end of tangram activities. Pre-test … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 2 Oct 2013 · 10,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Transport Properties of Tyre Fiber Modified ConcreteG. Senthil Kumaran, M. Lakshmipathy, Nurdin MushuleProblem statement: Nowadays, the use of waste tyre in concrete has become technically feasible and the tyre mixed concrete is light weight and called as rubberized concrete. Still the research is going on to explore basic engineering properties such as transport properties viz, acid absorption test, water absorption tests, impact resistance, modulus of elasticity, dynamic modulus and so on. In … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2011 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Teaching Literature on Culture Learning in the Language ClassroomChittra Muthusamy, Rasaya Marimuthu, Elangkeeran SabapathyProblem statement: The role of literature in enhancing readers’ cultural understanding in the language classroom was explored. It was a part of an extensive research which focused mainly on language learning and creativity. It is argued that the interface of language, literature and culture are at the forefront of present-day language and literature learning and this facilitates inter-racial, intra-racial and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 19 Jul 2011 · 7,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBonding Property of Bituminous Crack Sealants in the Presence of WaterEllie Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: Crack sealing and filling is the most widely used maintenance activity for in-service pavements. If an appropriate sealant material is selected and properly installed at the appropriate time of the pavement life, it retards pavement deterioration and increases its service life at a relatively low cost. However, in some cases it is reported that sealants failed prematurely, mainly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 8,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simplified Analytical Modeling of the Hole Erosion TestMohammed Bezzazi, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Miguel Prron Vera et al.Problem statement: Internal erosion occurs in soils containing fine particles under the action of high pressure gradients that could result from water discharge. This phenomenon can yield in its final stage to the formation of piping which constitutes a real threat for hydraulics infrastructures as it can precipitate their entire rupture in very short time. In order to mitigate this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeneficial Effect of a Cellulose-Containing Chew Treat on Canine Periodontal Disease in a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled TrialA. C. Beynen, F. Van Altena, E. A. VisserProblem statement: There are indications that appropriate chew treats can contribute to the control of canine periodontal disease. It was reasoned that the incorporation of a cellulose fiber network into the treat may improve the efficacy, but for proof experimental data were required. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,256 accessesView PDFCite
