However it is undesirable as a ready … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn-Cylinder Heat Transfer Characteristics of Hydrogen Fueled Engine: A Steady State ApproachM. M. Rahman, Khalaf I. Hamada, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents in-cylinder heat transfer characteristics of a single cylinder port injection Hydrogen fueled Internal Combustion Engine (H2ICE) using a steady state approach. Problem statement: The differences in characteristics between hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels are led to the difference in the behavior of physical processes during engine cycle. One of these processes is the in-cylinder heat transfer. Approach: One … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFreshwater Situation in Kuwait-Remote Sensing Inputs on Possibility of Artificial RechargeM. Al-Murad, S. Uddin, A. Al-DousariProblem statement: Kuwait is an arid country having per capita freshwater consumption of 485 l day-1. Almost the entire freshwater requirements are met through desalination. The water tariffs in the country are very low consequent to 60% subsidy provided by the government. The use of tertiary treated wastewater is restricted to irrigation and forestation; this leaves huge surplus that can … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution and Determining of Urban Sprawl in Kerman with Emphasis on Kariz Water SystemAli Hosseini, Mohammad Shabanifard, Mostafa Rashidi, Mamohammad Reza SaiydzadeProblem statement: Urban sprawl is one of the contemporary issues of cities all over the world. The Kariz system consists of underground channels that convey water from aquifers in highlands to the surface at lower levels by gravity. The problem of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions is one of low rainfall and uneven distribution throughout the season, which … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,632 accessesView PDFCite

Roukos, K. Papanikolaou, S. Kandrelis et al.Problem statement: The objective of this study was to evaluate the production and nutrition quality of grasslands and kermes oak shrublands in Preveza Prefecture, northwest Greece. Approach: The study involved the collection of herbage and browse samples along a grazing period, from March to October for two consecutive years. In consequence, browse samples were manually separated to leaves and twigs. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
