Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSING LIGHT TO SEE NEUTRONS AND ACCESSING THE 2D HIGH RESOLUTION: BAROTRON: A NEW PULSE FOR NEUTRON SCATTERINGPatrick Baroni, Laurence NoirezSince first years of exploitation in 1960-70, neutron scattering has emerged as a unique and non-destructive means to probing inside matter properties at the nanometer length scales. Because the neutron production is scarce and expensive, the detection has to be extremely efficient. We take advantage of the recent improvements of light sensors in photon detection and detection dynamics, to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 26 Jul 2014 · 7,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,996 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGEOPHYSICAL AND LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE SPREAD AND QUALITY OF THE ODUKPANI LIMESTONE DEPOSITT. E. Chidomerem, A. E. Akpan, I. O. AkpanThe Odukpani limestone deposit has been investigated using geophysical and laboratory techniques with the aim of generating information on its spread and quality. Information generated from the analyses of twenty-six Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) and core drilling data were used in the study. The VES data were acquired in both grid and random patterns in the immediate area of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 20 Jun 2014 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH FOR MEASURING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE IMPROVED SALT PRODUCTION IN GUINEABoubacar Siddighi Balde, Hajime Kobayashi, Makoto Nohmi et al.Salt production is a major driving force behind the loss of mangrove in Guinea. As the traditional salt production causes increasing deforestation, the intensive exploitation of mangrove resources has now reached a critical threshold. Therefore, improved techniques using sunlight as the source of energy has been introduced as an alternative to the traditional salt production techniques which consumes a significant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 14 May 2014 · 7,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDURABILITY OF MIXED MORTAR LINING CONTAINING DREGS-GRITSB. P. Zanella, E. B. Sá, N. O. Acorinti et al.The improper disposal of industrial waste and exploitation of natural resources has resulted in the scarcity of river sand and environmental degradation, such as river erosions and pollution. This study aimed to assess the durability of mixed mortar lining walls and ceilings, containing 0 (default), 10 and 20% of dregs-grits compounds-waste of the pulp industry-in substitution with river sand. This … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENERGY EFFICIENT NETWORK SELECTION USING 802.16G BASED GSM TECHNOLOGYH. Anandakumar, K. UmamaheswariHandover is the mechanism that transfers information from one terminal to another as a user moves through the coverage area of a cellular system. Here the Network selection is the handover decision process between various network environments. This handover decision will be either mobile or network initiated. In 2G GSM handover decision method especially concentrates on Received frequency signals (RFS). … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 Dec 2013 · 7,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhylogenetic Study of Some Strains of DunaliellaDuc Tran, Trung Vo, Sixto Portilla et al.Dunaliella strains were isolated from a key site for salt production in Vietnam (Vinh Hao, Binh Thuan province). The strains were identified based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) markers. The phylogenetic tree revealed these strains belong to the clades of Dunaliella salina and Dunaliella viridis. Results of this study confirm the ubiquitous nature of Dunaliella and suggest that strains of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssisted History Matching for Petroleum Reservoirs in the Social Computing EraMichel Cancelliere, Dario Viberti, Francesca VergaThe exploitation strategy of hydrocarbon reservoirs can be technically and economically optimized only if a reliable numerical model of the reservoir under investigation is available to predict the system response for different production scenarios. A numerical model can be reasonably trustworthy after calibration only, which means the model has at least proved its ability to reproduce the historical behavior of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Parametric Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle Powered by Solar EnergyFrancesco Calise, Claudio Capuozzo, Laura VanoliThis study presents the simulation and performance analysis of a regenerative and superheated Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). To this scope, anew simulation model has been developed. The model is based on zero-dimensional energy and mass balances for all the components of the system. Shell and tube heat expanders with single shell and double tube pass have been chosen. Pump and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 May 2013 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConnectivism in Science Education with Emphasis on International CollaborationEva Trnova, Josef TrnaThe study presents the results of design-based research on the influence of connectivism on science education, with the emphasis on an international collaboration among/between teachers and students from different countries. Science and technology education is a very important part of culture as a knowledge background of society. Very fast ICT development strongly influences education. The pedagogical theory of connectivism was … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 12 Feb 2013 · 8,455 accessesView PDFCite
