Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Design of Environmental-Based Learning to Instill Land Ethics in the LearnersEpon Ningrum, Ahmad YaniThough environment is universal, there are different perspectives under which it can be described. For instance, in learning, an environment is viewed as one of the learning components and aspects which help to actualise learning. An environment in its empirical form has potential characteristics which facilitate transformational learning efforts. This paper is based on the arguement that, if a learning … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2016 · 7,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis and Mechanical Design Solutions for Sit-To-Stand Assisting DevicesPierluigi Rea, Erika OttavianoSit-to-stand can be considered the most common daily-life activity and it can be defined as a change of posture, in which the base of support is transferred from the seat to the feet. It requires both voluntary movement of different body segments that contribute to the equilibrium and control during an important displacement of the Centre Of Gravity of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2016 · 7,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Phenolic Ester of O-Desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV) Improves Uptake of ODV into the BrainYang Zhang, Zhichao Yang, Sen Zhao, Hongli ZhouIn this study, the in vitro stabilities of a promising O-Desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV) phenolic ester prodrug O-19 in aqueous solution, rat whole blood and rat liver microsomes were investigated. In addition, the in vivo drug metabolites were determined using LC-TOFMS-IDA-MS/MS. O-19 exhibits high stabilities at any pH encountered in the gastrointestinal tract, its half live (t1/2) spans the range 5.0±0.18 d … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2016 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiomimetic and Evolutionary Design Driven Innovation in Sustainable Products DevelopmentRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaAn innovative, design-driven, sustainable approach in conceiving, developing, producing, using new materials can be effective in strengthening the competiveness and success of creative industries linked to manufacturing (e.g., biomedical, architecture, automotive, art, crafts, supports for cultural items, decoration, fashion, furniture, lighting, interior design materials and products, jewels, luxury, media supports, publishing, sport and toys), adding value to products and processes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2016 · 9,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Biodiesel Production from Spent Palm Cooking Oil Using Fractional Factorial Design Combined with the Response Surface MethodologyS.M. Zakir Hossain, Nahid Sultana, Muhammad Faisal Irfan et al.Fractional Factorial Design (FFD) of the experiments combined with the response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum conditions for the production of biodiesel from Used Cooking Oil (UCO) in a batch reactor. Spent palm olein cooking oil was used as a raw material for biodiesel production as it is commonly used in most of the restaurants in Bahrain. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 22 Nov 2016 · 8,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUpdating Italian Design Guide CNR DT-205/2007 in View of Recent Research Findings: Requirements for Pultruded FRP ProfilesFabio Minghini, Nerio Tullini, Francesco AscioneA discussion on some design rules for pultruded fiber-reinforced plastic (PFRP) profiles reported by guideline CNR DT-205/2007 from National Research Council of Italy is presented in the paper. At eight years after approval of this technical document, several changes and improvements are required following recent research findings and supplemental design rules should be incorporated into a future revision. The general … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 9,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing a Modified Technology Acceptance Model to Evaluate Designing Eight Queens Chess Puzzle GameHussain Mohammad Abu-DalbouhIn the game of chess, the queen can attack any piece that lies on the same row, on the same column, or along a diagonal. The eight-queens is a classic logic puzzle. The task is to place eight queens on a chessboard in such a fashion that no queen can attack any other queen. The eight-queen puzzle is often used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 7,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Development of an Ergonomic Milling Machine Control Knob using TRIZ PrinciplesPoh Kiat Ng, Kian Siong JeeTRIZ, a Russian abbreviation known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, refers to a methodology for problem-solving rooted in logic and data rather than intuition. It promotes the ability to solve problems creatively. Using TRIZ tools for problem-solving such as the cause-effect-chain analysis and engineering contradiction, a new ergonomic milling machine control knob was developed for improved musculoskeletal comfort. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2016 · 7,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGamification in E-Learning: Introducing Gamified Design Elements into E-Learning SystemsDaniel Strmečki, Andrija Bernik, Danijel RadoševićGamification is the usage of game mechanics, dynamics, aesthetics and game thinking in non-game systems. Its main objective is to increase user’s motivation, experience and engagement. For the same reason, it has started to penetrate in e-learning systems. However, when using gamified design elements in e-learning, we must consider various types of learners. In the phases of analysis and design … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 11 Feb 2016 · 11,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints.
