Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSTEEL FIBER CURVATURE IN CONCRETE COMPOSITES: MODULUS PREDICTIONS USING EFFECTIVE STEEL FIBER PROPERTIESAbdellatif SelmiResults in the literature demonstrate that substantial improvements in the mechanical behavior of concrete have been attained through the addition of steel fibers as a reinforcing phase. We have developed a model combining finite element results and micromechanical methods to determine the effective reinforcing modu-lus of hook-ended steel fibers. This effective reinforcing modulus is then used within a multiphase micro-mechanics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Dec 2013 · 7,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDyeability and Mechanical Properties of Acrylonitrile-Diallylamine Salts CopolymersAbir S. Abdel-Naby, Salha N. Al-HarthiThe dyeability of Acrylonitrile-Diallylamine Acetate (AN-DAA acetate) and Acrylonitrile-Diallylguanidine Acetate (AN-DAGA) copolymers have been studied with both conventional and ultrasonic methods. The results obtained were compared to the parent polyacrylonitrile. The effect of dye concentration, dye bath pH, dyeing time and temperature were studied and the results obtained by dyeing with both techniques were compared. Color strength values were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 6,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStructural and Dielectrical Properties of Sterilized Human TeethMostafa Fawzy Eissa, Hassan Mohamed El-Shamy, Hassan Saad HanafyProblem statement: This study investigated the changes in crystallinity and dielectrical properties (conductivity) that could be demonstrated in extracted human teeth (enamel and dentin) subjected to γ-radiation at the sterilization dose (25 kGy). Approach: Twenty human third molar teeth were used in the study. Teeth were prepared so forty enamel and dentin samples were obtained. The samples were divided into … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2012 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKernel Type Estimator and Statistical Properties for Intensity Function of Periodic Poisson Process with Power Function TrendRo’fah Nur RachmawatiProblem statement: In this study, we construct the estimation for a periodic component of the intensity function of a periodic Poisson process in the presence of power function trend by using the general kernel function. Beside that we also construct the statistical properties of the estimator. Approach: It is considered the worst case where there is only available a single … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Nov 2012 · 7,296 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Rigorous Mathematical Approach for Petrophysical Properties EstimationDario VibertiProblem statement: Over the last few decades, the oil industry has shown a growing interest in the new risk analysis methodologies aimed at the evaluation of the uncertainties associated with reservoir exploitation. In particular, the effort is made to take all possible sources of uncertainties into account so that not only the strengths but also the potential weaknesses of each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Converting Secondary Tropical Peat Swamp Forest into Oil Palm Plantation on Selected Peat Soil Physical PropertiesMohd Suffian Firdaus, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: The conversion of forest land into oil palm plantation is considered to be one of the causes of soil degradation and loss of tropical land forest in Southeast Asia. The objective of this study was to compare selected peat soil physical properties of secondary tropical peat swamp forest and oil palm plantation to determine the effect of forest … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,749 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Impact Level and Fruit Properties on Golden Delicious Apple BruisingArzhang Javadi, Ebrahim Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein Abbaspour-Fard et al.Problem Statement: Bruise damage is a major cause of fruit quality loss. Bruises occur under dynamic and static loading when stress induced in the fruit exceeds the failure stress of the fruit tissue. Statistical bruise estimation models were constructed to calculate Golden Delicious apple bruise volume with respect to fruit properties. Approach: The regression models were built based upon impact … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptical Properties of the SiO2-Na2O-CaO-Nd2O3 GlassesP. Chimalawong, J. Kaewkhao, T. Kittiauchawal et al.Problem statement: This study researched on different physical and optical properties of Nd3+ doped soda-lime-silicate glass. The glasses containing Nd3+ in (65-x) SiO2: 25Na2O: 10CaO: xNd2O3 (where x = 0.0-5.0 mol%) had been prepared by melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume increase with increasing of Nd2O3 concentration due to increasing of Non Bridging Oxygens (NBOs) in glass matrix. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,953 accessesView PDFCite
