Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Solenoid Valve for Variable Rate Application SystemSaleh Mufleh Al-Saqer, Ghulam Mubashar HassanProblem statement: The aim of this research was to optimize the performance of solenoid valve used in Variable Rate Application System (VRA) in term of time response. The overall time response is usually divided into four parts i.e., plunger opening time, pressure opening time, plunger closing time and pressure closing time. Approach: The performance and design of the a solenoid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel Development for Health Promotion in the Elderly Participating in CommunitiesSupat Jampawai, Somporn Pothinam, Manop Kanato et al.Problem statement: The problem of the research derives from a lack of research study to develop the suitable model for health promotion in the elderly and examine factors concerning the health promotion in the elderly. This research aimed to study and develop suitable health promotion model for elderly participating in communities and examine factors related to the health promotion of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 30 Jul 2011 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Hyperoxia on Brain Tissue Oxygen Tension in Non-Sedated, Non- Anesthetized Arctic Ground Squirrels: An Animal Model of Hyperoxic StressYilong Ma, Shufen Wu, Lawrence DuffyArctic Ground Squirrels (AGS) are classic hibernators known for their tolerance to hypoxia. AGS have been studied as a model of hypoxia with potential as a medical research model. Problem statement: Their unique resistance to the stressors of low oxygen led us to hypothesize that AGS might also be adaptable to hyperoxia. Approach: This study examined the physiological pattern associated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Seeding Rate on Weed Density in Soybean Planting System for Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel Wiatrak, Guihua ChenProblem statement: Increasing seeding rates may help decrease weed pressure in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] wide row spacing. Approach: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of five glyphosate-resistant soybean Maturity Groups (MG) (IV, V, VI, VII and VIII) and six seeding rates (68,000,136,000, 204,000, 272,000, 340,000 and 408,000 seeds ha-1) on weed density under dryland … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecycled High-Density Polyethylene and Rice Husk as a Wetted Pad in Evaporative Cooling SystemNitipong Soponpongpipat, Sukum KositchaimongkolProblem statement: The low cost and easy-to-find materials, for being used as wetted pad of evaporative cooling system, are necessary for agriculture. This study, thus, studied the evaporative cooling efficiency and pressure drop of recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and rice husk as a wetted pad in evaporative cooling system. Approach: The study was done by establishing the tested wetted pad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStress-Strain Analysis of Abdominal Aortic Wall: A Case of 3D Geometry SimulationP. Khamdaengyodtai, P. Sakulchangsatjatai, P. TerdtoonProblem statement: This study analyzed stress-strain of abdominal aortic wall in 3D geometry simulation. Abdominal aorta is a portion of the aorta vessel in the abdomen which many cardiovascular diseases often occur. Approach: Abdominal aortic wall was considered as 1 layers-3 dimensional cylindrical geometry and homogeneous, incompressible and anisotropic material. Deformation of aortic wall was elastic deformation. Numerical method was … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Fuzzy Controller for Water Level in Stream Boiler TankSurachai PanichProblem statement: The process control of steam boiler is very popular used in the industrial. The temperature of the water is transferred directly by electrical heater. The pressure will increase based on the changing of the temperature. The purpose of the control is to change the opening set point for the valve when the temperature and pressure in the tank … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Permeability of Foam Conditioned Soils with Laboratory TestsLuca Borio, Daniele PeilaProblem statement: EPB tunneling requires that the excavated soil has a plastic and pulpy behavior to be able to apply a stabilizing pressure to the face, but it should also be impervious to counteract filtration forces that could develop ahead of the face. The evaluation of this parameter in granular soil, before and after conditioning, is therefore of key importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Efficiency of a Combined Turbocharger Set with Gasoline EngineJarut KunanoppadonProblem statement: The technology of turbocharger has been used with internal combustion engines since 1905 to increase intake air pressure prior to putting it into the cylinders to increase thermal efficiency of the engine. Based on previous researches and uses of turbochargers, the pattern of turbocharger installation remains the same, either in series or in parallel. Therefore, this research aims … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimum and Complete Fluidization Velocity for Sand-Palm Shell Mixtures, Part I: Fluidization Behavior and Characteristic VelocitiesV. S. Chok, A. Gorin, H. B. ChuaProblem statement: Palm shell on its original state cannot be fluidized solely. However, mixing palm shell with a second fluidizable material can facilitate proper fluidization. Approach: The minimum and complete fluidization velocity (Umf and Ucf) for sand/palm shell binary mixtures had been studied in a partitioned reactor known as Compartmented Fluidized Bed Gasifier (CFBG). The pilot scale reactor ID is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite
