Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,674 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case-Control Study of Effect of Opium Addiction on Myocardial InfarctionBehzad Azimzade-Sarwar, Gholamreza Yousefzade, Shahin NarooeyIschemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Myocardial Infarction (MI) are one of the most important disease which cause mortality and morbidity. Opioid peptides and exogenous opioid such as morphine are known to exert an important cardiovascular effect. To study effect of opium addiction to incidence of MI. A Case-Control study was designed in Kerman university. 150 patients with MI was admitted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Elliptic Function Arising from the Theta Functions and Dedekind's η-FunctionIsmet Yildiz, Neslihan UyanikIt's a reality that there is a relationship between the sigma function of Weierstrass and theta functions. An elliptic function can be set up using the theta functions just as it can be astablished with the help of sigma function of Weierstrass and two relations between the Dedekind's h-function and - theta function were established by the using characteristic values … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTypology of Organisational CommitmentRajendran Muthuveloo, Raduan Che RoseThis paper presents a contemporary review of the term commitment from an organisational perspective. The paper highlights the typology of employee commitment and of organisational commitment. Organisational commitment is a subset of employee commitment, which is comprised of work commitment, career commitment and organisational commitment. Organisational commitment, in turn, can be subdivided into affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 10,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison between Structural Element of Building Systems in MalaysiaM. R. Abdul Kadir, W. P. Lee, M. S. Jaafar et al.The Industrialized Building System (IBS) was introduced in Malaysia in 1966, but it failed to establish itself on a continuous basis though there has been a sustained large market for residential projects even since. One of the reasons behind this shortcoming is the lack of scientific data on labor productivity that could convince policy maker. Hence, the objective of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi Strongly E-Convex FunctionsE. A. Youness, T. EmamIn this study a new class of functions, called semi strongly E-convex functions, and generalized semi strongly E-convex functions are defined .We discuss some their basic properties and obtain sufficient optimality criteria for nonlinear programming problems involving these functions. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltra Wide Band (UWB) Ad-hoc Networks: Review and TrendsRashid Saeed, Sabira Khatun, Borhanuddin M. Ali, Mohd K. AbduallahShort-range wireless systems have recently gained a lot of attention to provide seamless, multimedia communications around a user-centric concept in so called Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology presents itself as a good candidate for the Physical Layer (PHY) of WPAN, both for high and low data rate applications. Many ongoing developments of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,060 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConformational Analysis of Trans-3, 6-Dibutanal-1, 2, 4, 5-TetroxaneEduardo A. Castro, Mariela I. Profeta, Jorge M. Romero et al.We report the results of theoretical semiempirical AM1 and PM3 molecular orbital methods on the conformational analysis of the title compound. The relative stability of different isomers and conformers are discussed on the basis of well defined electronic and steric effects, which are rather helpful in order to understand the relative stabilities. …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Situation and Evaluation of Forest Harvesting Methods in TurkeyMurat Demir, Tolga OzturkThe present study summarize and evaluate major problems of timber harvesting in Turkey and the future principles and objectives have been defined. Timber harvesting in Turkey is still carried out by manual methods due to economical, social and environmental constraints. Almost 80% of harvesting activities are mechanized in many developed countries while this value is only 5% in Turkey. Overall … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
