Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Control of a Greenhouse by Variation in Ventilation Rate using a Fuzzy Parallel Distributed Compensation Controller with an RST Regulator in Each RuleElyes Feki, Amine Chouchaine, Abdelkader MamiProblem statement: The greenhouse has uncontrollable inputs that affect its climate, which arises the difficulty to regulate its inside temperature. The solution can be found using a multi-system approach like the Takagi-Sugeno System from which a design of a Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) controller is performed. However, a stability problem arises and was negotiatesd in general based on a Lyapunov … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 27 Apr 2012 · 7,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Line Stability Index for Contingency Analysis and Screening in Power SystemsC. Subramani, Subhransu Sekhar Dash, Vivek Kumar, Harish KiranProblem statement: Estimating the margin in the loadability of the power system is essential in the real time voltage stability assessment. Voltage stability is currently one of the most important research areas in the field of electrical power system. In power system operation unpredictable events is termed as contingency and may be caused by line outage in the system which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 11 Feb 2012 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Optimal Path Management Strategy in Mobile Ad Hoc Network Using Fuzzy and Rough Set TheoryP. Seethalakshmi, M. Joseph Auxilius Jude, G. RajendranProblem statement: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically forms a network. Most of the existing ad-hoc routing algorithms select the shortest path using various resources. However the selected path may not consider all the network parameters and this would result in link instability in the network. The problems with existing methods are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 15 Oct 2011 · 7,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZero Geometry, Zero Space Time, The Seeds of The Final TheoryKambiz-AfrasiabiProblem statement: Lack of understanding And scientific formulation of zero geometry and zero space-time and the truth about initiation conditions would continue to keep us all in dark and we would continue to create more theories defining our observations about the known universe which could Indeed be part of our illusionary perception of reality And as long as they continue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave Assisted Bioethanol Production from Sago Starch by Co-Culturing of Ragi Tapai and Saccharomyces CerevisiaeN. Saifuddin, Refal HussainProblem statement: Environmental issues such as global warming and recent events throughout the world, including the shortage of petroleum crude oil, the sharp increase in the cost of oil and the political instability of some crude oil producing countries, have demonstrated the vulnerability of the present sources for liquid fuel. These situations have created great demand for ethanol from fermentation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Kernel Density Estimation of the Prepulse Inhibition TestHongbo Zhou, Qiang Cheng, Hong-Ju Yang, Haiyun XuProblem statement: The goal of this study was to devise a more reliable and sensitive method for analysis of experimental data of the Prepulse Inhibition (PPI), the reduction in startle reaction towards a startle-eliciting “pulse” stimulus when it is shortly preceded by a sub-threshold “prepulse” stimulus. Approach: Different from the conventional simple averaging-based method, we proposed a probabilistic approach to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Assessment using Frequency Ratio Model Applied to an Area along the E-W Highway (Gerik-Jeli)Tareq H. Mezughi, Juhari Mat Akhir, Abdul Ghani Rafek, Ibrahim AbdullahProblem statement: The study area is frequently subjected to landslides especially alongside the E-W high way. This study demonstrates the implementation of the Frequency Ratio (FR) model with the aid of GIS tool to assess the contribution of every predisposing factor on landslides and produce a landslide susceptibility map to the area. Approach: A landslide location map of the study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 9,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRock Slopes Failure Susceptibility Analysis: From Remote Sensing Measurements to Geographic Information System Raster ModulesFilipello Andrea, Giuliani Andrea, Mandrone GiuseppeProblem statement: Two important step can be recognised in the rockfall analysis: the potential failure detection and the run out simulation. Analyzing the stability of rock slopes, most important kinematisms are planar or wedge slidings and topplings. The aim of this study was to coupling a deterministic approach for landslide initiation (potential rockfall source areas) with a runout analysis by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputation of Hahn Moments for Large Size ImagesA. Venkataramana, P. Ananth RajProblem statement: Direct formulas used for Hahn moments computation available in the literature are not applicable for large size images. This is due to the need for calculation of factorial of large values as well as numerical instability in the calculation of polynomial values. This study presents a method to correct these errors. Approach: In this research, recursive formulas for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Refractory Salmonella Spondylodiscitis in an Immunocompetent Patient Treated Via an Extracavitary Approach, Corpectomy and Placement of Expandable CageKimon Bekelis, Oren Gottfried, Zyia L. Gokaslan et al.Problem statement: Salmonella spondylodiscitis is a rare condition that is more prevalent in patients with sickle cell disease or immunosuppression. However, it can also be found in immunocompetent patients. It usually responds well to proper antibiotics. However, surgery is rarely indicated when the infection is refractory to antibiotics, the spine is destabilized or there is an epidural component that is … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,533 accessesView PDFCite
