Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENDER PREFERENCES FOR ALTERNATIVE ENERGY TRANSPORT WITH FOCUS ON ELECTRIC VEHICLENirupama Prakash, Rashmi Kapoor, Ajay Kapoor, Yashpal MalikTransportation has become an important part of our day to day life. Due to changing lifestyle, frequent travels whether related to work or leisure has become a common phenomenon. Such lifestyle also demands comfortable transport medium and reasonable availability of fuels. As need of vehicle for transportation is rising, it has put pressure of fuel supply, fuel prices and environment … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2014 · 8,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Reconstruction of Human Heart Surface from Single Image-View Under Different Illumination ConditionsAqeel Al-Surmi, Rahmita Wirza, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.The 3D reconstruction from a single-view image is a longstanding issue in computer vision literature, especially in the medical field. Traditional medical imaging techniques that provide information about the heart and which are used to reconstruct the heart model, include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. However, in some cases, they are not available and the applications … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple-Input Multiple-Output Transmission Over a Multipath Faded ChannelsI.A.Z. QatawnehThe use of multiple antennas at the transmitter as well as at the receiver can greatly improve the capacity of a wireless link when operating in a rich scattering environment. In such an arrangement all transmitting antennas radiate in the same frequency band so the overall spectral efficiency becomes very high. Such a multiple antenna scheme, popularly known as Multiple … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 11 Mar 2013 · 6,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of the Use of Object Request Broker Middleware for Inter-Component Communications in C6416 Digital Signal Processor Based Software Communications Architecture Radio SystemsWael A. Murtada, Mohamed M. Zahra, Magdi Fikri et al.Problem statement: This study presents an in-depth analysis of the performance of Software Communications Architecture (SCA) component-based waveform applications in terms of inter-component communications. The main limitation with SCA, in the context of embedded systems, is the additional cost introduced by the use of Object Request Broker (ORB) middleware. The ORB middleware handles the interaction between components and objects in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 3 Apr 2012 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Efficiencies and Rankings of Flagship UniversitiesG. Thomas SavProblem statement: Each state in the U.S. touts a premier university as the flagship of its publicly funded higher education system. With decreased government budgets and increased interest in public management reforms, these institutions are being pressured to provide evidence of and set examples for ever greater improvements in operating cost efficiencies. The problem, however, is that empirical measures of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 20 Jan 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Innovative Farm Scale Biogas/Composting Facility for a Sustainable Medium Size Dairy FarmA.E. Ghaly, M. Al HattabApproach: The amount of energy related costs as a portion of the total farm operating cost can be as high as 29% and the continuing increase of the real cost of energy related farm input has been one of the major factors impacting the cost of agricultural production. However, agricultural has the potential of replacing some of the purchased energy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2012 · 9,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultivariable Proportional Integral Controllers for Multi-Inputs-Multi-Outputs Desalination System Fed by a Photovoltaic GeneratorAbderrahmen Ben Chaabene, Anis SellamiProcess control is an essential part of the desalination industry that requires for driving at the optimum operating conditions an increase in the life time of the plant and reduction of the unit product cost. The desalination is a highly complex process, so that the majority of dynamic models are of the form of Multi-Inputs-Multi-Outputs (MIMO) systems. Problem statement: Driving … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoplankton Diversity as Indicator of Water Quality for Fish CultivationArunava Pradhan, Pranami Bhaumik, Sumana Das et al.Waste water fed fisheries are a common feature in different parts of the world. Yet not all work as efficiently as those operating at East Calcutta Wetland for more than 70 years now. The objective of this study is to unravel the reason for the markedly greater efficiency of the Bheris in fish production compared to other water bodies like … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
