Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Building Construction Thermal Isolation Materials (Rockwool)Mahmoud ItewiProblem statement: Building insulation consisting roughly to anything in a structure that is utilizes as insulation for any reason. Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically having anything to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoughness Effect on an Unsteady Flow in Pipelines by Profilometry and Imaging TechniquesMabrouk Benkhedimallah, Rabah Zegadi, Mohamed BouafiaProblem statement: Currently the aero dynamical calculation in gas pipes is carried out under the assumption of steady state conditions. However real steady in a network is scarcely quasisteady. Approach: The unsteady state is governed by non-linear partial differential equations leading to mathematical difficulties. And there are fore gas pipe dimensions are computed at steady state under extreme conditions. Results: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReuse Water Treatment Sludge for Hollow Concrete Block ManufactureThaniya KaosolProblem statement: This research reuses the water treatment sludge from a water treatment plant to make hollow concrete blocks. The main objectives are to increase the value of the water treatment sludge from a water treatment plant and to make a sustainable and profitable disposal alternative for the water treatment sludge. Attempts were made to utilize the water treatment sludge … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 10,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Ventilation of Indoor Air Temperature: A Case Study of the Traditional Malay House in PenangAhmad Sanusi Hassan, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: It was the aim of the study to analyze the level of performance of natural air ventilation with a case study of the traditional Malay house in Penang, Malaysia. This study provided information on the architectural design in relation to natural air ventilation. It promoted passive design in contrast to most housing design which has poor natural air … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 11,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWall Shear Stress Distribution in Patient Specific Coronary Artery BifurcationVahab Dehlaghi, Frank GijsenProblem statement: Atherogenesis is affected by hemodynamic parameters, such as wall shear stress and wall shear stress spatial gradient. These parameters are largely dependent on the geometry of arterial tree. Arterial bifurcations contain significant flow disturbances. Approach: The effects of branch angle and vessel diameter ratio at the bifurcations on the wall shear stress distribution in the coronary arterial tree … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Positioning System Using Artificial Neural NetworkHamid Mehmood, Nitin K. Tripathi, Taravudh TipdechoProblem statement: Location knowledge in indoor environment using Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) has become very useful and popular in recent years. A number of Location Based Services (LBS) have been developed, which are based on IPS, these LBS include asset tracking, inventory management and security based applications. Many next-generation LBS applications such as social networking, local search, advertising and geo-tagging … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2010 · 8,845 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFemtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic PropertiesA. A. BolonkinProblem statement: At present the term 'nanotechnology' is well known-in its' ideal form, the flawless and completely controlled design of conventional molecular matter from molecules or atoms. Such a power over nature would offer routine achievement of remarkable properties in conventional matter and creation of metamaterials where the structure not the composition brings forth new powers of matter. But even … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Behavior of A High Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiSince the invention of Reinforced Earth by the French architect Hendri Vidal in 1966, numerous reinforced soil walls have been designed and constructed all over the world. In this study the focus was on a particular type of reinforced wall called Nehemiah wall which differed from the Vidal type in the sense that instead of steel strips, the reinforcing elements … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical and Numerical Analysis of Free Bulge Tube HydroformingF. Djavanroodi, M. Gheisary, H. Zoghi-shalFree bulge hydroforming simulation was analysied to investigate the biaxial behavior of extruded aluminum tubes. A finite element model was constructed to simulate the hydroforming process and asses the influence of friction between die walls and tube, tube material properties and springback of formed tube. It was found that material hardening coefficient had the most significant influence on formability characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
