Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Analysis of Spatial MechanismsFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper briefly presents how structural analysis is performed on spatial mechanisms, presenting a practical application in the mechatronics of parallel robots, especially in Steward platforms. Structural analysis always helps to better understand the phenomena and especially the way the mechanisms are made. At spatial mechanisms the problems are a little more complex than those raised by plane mechanisms. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantitative Analysis of the Pb Concentration in Dust Fall in Zahedan in the Winter of 2014Sara Abdollahi, Akram Karimi, Meysam Madadi et al.Dust is considered as one of the atmospheric phenomena that inappropriately influences the environment. Falling dust contains particles with the size of 100 microns or less, which falls from atmosphere on the surface of the earth. This study aimed at determining the Pb concentration in falling dust samples in order to investigate the urban pollution caused by this element. To … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 11 May 2018 · 7,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemistry of Siloam and Tshipise Geothermal Springs, Limpopo Province, South AfricaOlatunde Samod Durowoju, John Ogony Odiyo, Georges-Ivo Ekosse EkosseGeothermal springs are natural geological phenomena that occur throughout the world, and South Africa (SA) is endowed with several springs of this nature. Most of the geothermal springs in SA (31%) are found in Limpopo Province. Assessment of geochemistry of Siloam and Tshipise geothermal springs were undertaken during 2014 winter (May – July) and summer (October – December) seasons. Water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2018 · 8,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclic Instability of Shape-Memory Alloys in Seismic Isolation SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Corneliu Cismasiu, Francisco Braz FernandesShape-memory alloys are being progressively introduced as kernel components in seismic retrofitting devices for civil engineering structures. In order to control the instability associated with the first mechanical cycles, a training procedure is usually implemented, which stabilizes the superelastic behavior of the alloy. This paper addresses the characterization of the cyclic behavior of an austenitic NiTi alloy with emphasis on … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2018 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlood Vulnerability Mapping to Riverine Floods: A Study on the Old Brahmaputra RiverMuhammad Rezaul Rakib, Md. Nurul Islam, Muhammod Nazrul IslamFlood is an inevitable natural phenomenon occurring from time to time in all rivers and natural drainage systems of Bangladesh. It causes damage to lives and natural resources as well as the loss of economy and health. This study illustrates the flood vulnerability mapping to riverine floods in the Old Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh Sadar upazila. The flood vulnerability mapping … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2017 · 14,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeorge (Gogu) ConstantinescuRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.George (Gogu) Constantinescu (October 4, 1891 - December 11, 1965) was a Romanian scientist and engineer, often considered to be one of the most important Romanian engineers. He was responsible for creating a new field of mechanics, called "sonicity," which describes the transmission of energy through vibrations in fluid or solid bodies. He applied the new theory to numerous inventions: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2017 · 8,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to Model Concentrating PV Cells Under Non-Uniform IlluminationHang Zhou, Yuehong Su, Gang Pei et al.Concentrating PV (CPV) cells are often designed optimally depending on solar concentrator characteristics and operating conditions to ensure the best system performance. Before reaching a PV cell, solar radiation may experience some optical losses caused by the different physical phenomena occurring in a solar concentrator. A particular issue with the CPV technology is the non-uniformity of the concentrated radiation, which … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2017 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat is a UFO?Relly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.There is much talk about UFOs sometimes. Is there anyway? If so what are they? Here are some questions we want to answer them briefly in this paper. An unidentified flying object or UFO is defined as any apparent object in the sky that can’t be identified and classified as an object or phenomenon already known. But the name is … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2017 · 17,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscrete Vortex Prediction of Flow around Two Cylinders in Side by Side using Simple Grid SystemWisnu WardhanaModelling of flows around two cylinders in side by side arrangement using a simple overlapping grid system is carried out. The use of such grid system is intended to give a considerable reduction in terms of the CPU time, especially during the calculation of the vortex velocity. It has been shown that this method is not only time efficient, but … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2017 · 8,138 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,137 accessesView PDFCite
