Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerceptions of Paddy Farmers towards Sustainable Agricultural Technologies: Case of Haraz Catchments Area in Mazandaran province of IranA. Bagheri, H. Shabanali Fami, A. Rezvanfar et al.Sustainable agriculture has defined and described in many ways. Despite the diversity in conceptualizing sustainable agriculture, there is a consensus on three basic dimensions of the concept, namely, ecological soundness economically viable and socially acceptable. The dimensions of ecological soundness refers to the preservation and improvement of the natural environment. Environmental issues emerge from the human use of natural resources. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Logic of Populist Discourse and its Cultural Frame in Korea: An Analysis of the Former President Roh Moo-Hyun's Reformist RhetoricManwoo LeeThis study was conducted to explain the discursive logic of populist politics and its cultural background in the former president Roh's Korean Government. It was divided into two parts of research results. In the first part, I articulated a reading of former Korean president Roh's discourses focusing on the populist dimensions of his rhetoric. His discourse was organized according to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTamoxifen Drug Loading Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Prepared by Hot High Pressure Homogenization TechniquesNagi A. ALHaj, Rasedee Abdullah, Siddig Ibrahim, Ahmad BustamamAs drug delivery systems Nanoparticulate widely investigated because of many advantages such as smaller size, controlled drug release potential, targeting ability, enhancement of therapeutic efficacy and reduction of toxicity. So, Solid Lipid Nanoparticles have recently received considerable attention as alternative drug delivery carrier. In this study Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) containing tamoxifen, nonsteroidal antiestrogens have been loaded and to be … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 15,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Boundary Conditions on the Behavior of an Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiThe finite element model is used to simulate the behavior of the full scale instrumented anchored reinforced wall. The validated finite element model is then used to carry out parametric studies to ascertain the influence of the boundary conditions on the behavior of the wall. The boundaries at the crest, facing and base of the wall are varied to study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Dark Current Reduction in Quantum Well 9 µm GaAs/AlGaAs Infrared Photodetectors with Improved DetectivityShahram Mohammad Nejad, Saeed Olyaee, Maryam PourmahyabadiIn this research, an optimization approach is presented to decrease the dark current in GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs. The dark current noise is reduced by increasing Al density in barriers, decreasing detector dimensions and increasing the periodic length of the structure. In addition, increasing the number of periods can reduce both the dark current and responsivity. Therefore, devices can be optimally designed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral for Radial Cracks in Annular Discs under Constant Angular Velocity and Internal PressureA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral for single and double-edge cracks in eight annular rotating discs under constant angular velocity with and without internal pressure. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power law creeping finite element analyses have been performed and the results are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Malaysian Wood CO2 -Laser Cutting Parameters And Cut QualityNukman Yusoff, Saiful Rizal Ismail, Azuddin Mamat, Aznijar Ahmad-YazidLaser has been used to cut most non-metallic materials very efficiently and successfully because these materials are highly absorptive by the CO2 laser wavelength of 10.6 10.6µm. Laser cutting process has been found to be reliable in loads of applications, with several advantages over other mechanical means in producing successful cut of even thermally sensitive materials such as wood. Various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Near Wake Flow Behind a Rectangular CylinderAbdollah Shadaram, Mahdi Azimi Fard, Noorallah RostamyThe turbulence characteristics of the near wake flow behind a rectangular cylinder is investigated in a two-dimensional analysis using a hot-wire anemometer. The time-averaged and fluctuating components of the velocity are measured for a cylinder having various width-to-height (b h-1) ratios. The measurements are carried out in a low-speed wind tunnel. Data from hot-wire anemometer is collected by a data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Three-Term Preconditioned Gradient memory Algorithm for Nonlinear Optimization ProblemsAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, Ivan S. LatifIn the present study, we proposed a three-term of preconditioned gradient memory algorithms to solve a nonlinear optimization problem. The new algorithm subsumes some other families of nonlinear preconditioned gradient memory algorithms as its subfamilies with Powell's Restart Criterion and inexact Armijo line searches. Numerical experiments on twenty one well-known test functions with various dimensions generally encouraged and showed that … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
