Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy the Effects of Ramadan Fasting on the Serum Glucose and Lipid Profile among Healthy Jordanian StudentsKama Mohmoud Saleh MansiRamadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar and Muslims fast during this month. We designed this study to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting on plasma lipids profile and serum glucose among healthy Jordanian students. Ramadan fasting entails major changes in sleep pattern, physical activity and eating habits, which may cause changes in metabolism both in health and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 8,466 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Light Dewaxed Oil through Hydrofinishing and Additives Blending for Producing Automatic Transmission FluidGamal Abdel-Nasser Gohar, Mohamed Sherif El-Gayar, Abd El-Moneim Ibrahim et al.Light dewaxed oil was produced through dewaxing process of the light waxy distillate raffinate of crude oil from Western Desert of Egypt using methyl ethyl ketone/toluene mixed solvent. Hydrofinishing process was used to remove the non-hydrocarbon constituents and to improve the physicochemical properties of the produced oils such as color, viscosity index, inhibition responses, oxidation and thermal stability. The operating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,982 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Vertical Dispersion of Pollutants Resulting From Chimneys by Thermosiphon EffectA. O.M. Mahmoud, J. Zinoubi, R. B. Maad, A. BelghithThe dispersion of pollutants, resulting from industrial chimneys, in the surrounding atmosphere made the interest in realizing emitting conditions appears. It also encourages the vertical dispersion of these pollutants. At a given wind velocity, the height of this dispersion is essentially a function of the thermal power and the flow rate at the chimney exit. To improve these qualities, we … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,411 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure-sensitivity Effects on Toughness Measurements of Compact Tension Specimens for Strain-hardening SolidsAbdulhamid A. Al-AbduljabbarThe path-independent J-integral is used as a fracture prediction criterion for loading beyond the elastic limit as Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) cannot be applied. While J was originally defined from an energy perspective, it was demonstrated that it could be inferred from load-displacement diagrams. Therefore, the Compact Tension (CT) specimen testing is used to compute J for materials. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,660 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFriction Forces in O-ring SealingAl-Ghathian, Faisal M.M. Tarawneh, S. MuafagIn the present study the focus was on developing a relationship as practical and convenient option for computing the friction force in O-ring sealing elements as used in the hydraulic and pneumatic equipments. For low-pressure applications, the developed relationship was applied for a different number of O-ring diameters, by investigating the obtained results, a good agreement has been observed for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 8,465 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Thermodynamic Equilibrium of Fragrance Mixtures, Limonene, Linalool and Geraniol, using the Unifac and Cosmo-Sac Models and the Estimation of their Combined Properties in Binary, Ternary and Quaternary MixturesLavínia Mota Cristianismo Silva, José Izaquiel Santos da Silva, Rogério Alexandre Alves de Melo, Edilailsa Januário de MeloPerfume is a non-ideal complex mixture of chemicals originating from the extraction of essential oils and these oils are volatile components extracted from plants, some animals, or even synthesized. For this reason, to compose a fragrance, there are countless possibilities to combine one element and another, which makes the process slow and expensive. Therefore, in this study, we will combine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2022 · 7,462 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout Boeing X-32Relly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe Boeing X-32 is a demonstration jet designed for the Joint Strike Fighter contest. He lost the Lockheed Martin X-35 demonstrator, which was further developed in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Boeing's competitive advantage has been to provide considerably lower costs of production and lifecycle by minimizing variations between different versions of the JSF. Therefore, the X-32 was designed … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2019 · 9,969 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of the Super Absorbent Polymer as Water Blocker in Concrete StructuresMoayyad Al-Nasra, Mohammad Daoudb, Taher M. Abu-LebdehAdding super absorbent polymer to the concrete mix improves the performance of the concrete in its both stages; fresh concrete and hardened concrete. The super absorbent polymer has the ability to absorb relatively large amount of water and convert it into gel at the same time the volume increases proportionally. The new modified concrete has the ability to retain water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2015 · 8,938 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOTIONS STUDY OF A SINGLE CYLINDER HIGH SPEED SPARK IGNITION LINIER ENGINE WITH SPRING SYSTEM AS RETURN CYCLEA. Z.M. Fathallah, Semin, I. M. Ariana, I. GeriantoA single cylinder two stroke spark ignition conventional engine have been modified to linier engine with spring mechanism. Before develop the design of linear engine is necessary to analysis of motion. Although principle of combustion process in combustion chamber is the same in fact the oscillation movement is different. Simulation technique has been adopted to study both linear and conventional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 17 Jan 2014 · 7,184 accessesView PDF Cite
