Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of the Raking Energy in Damping System of Steel Stud Partition WallsSalah Amer, Sameer Hamoush, Taher M. Abu-LebdehNonstructural partition walls are usually specified based on the best practice without any structural design calculations. However, given the likely severe earthquake damage to nonstructural components and the substantial cost of repair to such components, it is imperative that we develop an understanding of the seismic response of the nonstructural partition walls when subjected to earthquake loading conditions. The main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2015 · 7,644 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeat Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: A Critical ReviewD. Dave, Abdel E. GhalyProblem statement: Extremely perishable meat provides favorable growth condition for various microorganisms. Meat is also very much susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and enzymatic activities. The breakdown of fat, protein and carbohydrates of meat results in the development of off-odors, off-flavor and slim formation which make the meat objectionable for human consumption. It is, therefore, necessary to control meat … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 54,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnique Characteristic Features of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Relation to Immune SystemRajni, Laxman S. MeenaProblem statement: Tuberculosis is a leading global mortality factor which has not been effectively controlled, with 1.7 million deaths per year and 8.9 million new cases. Aerobic microbe Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) is the causative agent of tuberculosis. Approach: It is unique among prokaryotes due to its exceptional features contributing to its survival within the hostile environment of macrophages. Results: … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Aug 2011 · 17,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing an Adaptative Fuzzy-Logic System to Optimize the Performances and the Reduction of Chattering Phenomenon in the Control of Induction MotorM. M. Krishan, L. Barazane, A. KhwaldehProblem statement: Neural networks and fuzzy inference systems are becoming well-recognized tools of designing an identifier/controller capable of perceiving the operating environment and imitating a human operator with high performance. Also, by combining these two features, more versatile and robust models, called “neuro-fuzzy” architectures have been developed. The mo Approach: Motivation behind the use of neuro-fuzzy approaches was based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNorm Divergence Opportunity Structure and Utilization of Self-Employed Immigrants' QualificationsShahamak Rezaei, Marco GoliProblem statement: Denmark experienced one of the most successful periods of its economy in 2004-2008, with a tremendous reduction of 77% in unemployment. Due to the structural challenges with regard to the labor market the utilization of immigrants’ qualifications has come up to the surface of political and societal debate in Denmark. The focus of this study was challenges to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Simulator: An Educational Tool for Computer ArchitectureMihyar HessonThe great advancement in computer architecture and cache memory design and technology had a considerable influence on the way computer architecture was taught in universities. This requires students to be able to visualize the detailed activities that take place within a computer processor and its interaction with memory system. Computer simulators could effectively be used to enhance the understanding and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Provided by Accrual and Cash Flow Measures in Determining Firms’ Performance: Malaysian EvidenceNorita Mohd Nasir, Shamsul Nahar AbdullahAccrual and cash flow measures have been argued to be able to evaluate firms’ performance, although the results are inconclusive throughout countries and time. This study examined the accrual and cash flow measures independently and jointly among Malaysian firms. The study predicted that the low cash flow subgroups (high income to cash flow firms) would show better results in operating, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Infill Walls Under Cyclic Loading Strengthening with CFRPMojtaba Fallahi, Sajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Mona Haghighifar, Rahmat MadandoostNowadays, using infill isolators in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is very common. In earlier research this infill isolators are usually considered as non-structural elements, but in recent researches it was demonstrated that infill has considerable effects on natural period, stiffness, strength and overall behavior of structure specially when it is subjected to seismic ground motions. In this study a one-bay … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Jul 2018 · 8,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
