Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDamping of Generator Oscillations Using an Adaptive UPFC-based ControllerD. Nazarpour, S. H. Hosseini, G. B. GharehpetianIn this study a UPFC-based non-linear adaptive controller is proposed and designed to damp generator oscillations. The adaptive controller design is based on determination of control signal using a new linear quadratic pole placement control law and identification of power system parameters with recursive least squares method with adaptive directional forgetting factor. A new model of UPFC has been introduced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsumer Choice Prediction: Artificial Neural Networks versus Logistic ModelsChristopher Gan, Visit Limsombunchai, Mike Clemes, Amy WengConventional econometric models, such as discriminant analysis and logistic regression have been used to predict consumer choice. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying artificial neural networks (ANN) to analyse consumer behaviour and to model the consumer decision-making process. The purpose of this paper is to empirically compare the predictive power of the probability neural … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclic Volta Metric Study of Alizarin Yellow R and Some Analogous Arylazo Compounds in DMF and in Aqueous MediaHossnia MohranThe Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) was used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of alizarin yellow R and some analogous arylazo compounds having almost the same central azo group. For this purpose, the substances chosen for the measurements are Alizarin Yellow R (AYR), Eriochrome Black T (EBT) and Sudan II (SUD II). The investigations were carried out at room temperature (298 K) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCPU Cooling of Desktop PC by Closed-end Oscillating Heat-pipe (CEOHP)S. Rittidech, A. Boonyaem, P. TipnetThe CEOHP cooling module consisted of two main parts, i.e., the aluminum housing and the CEOHP. The house casing was designed to be suitable for CEOHP. The housing to drilling for insert the CEOHP. The CEOHP design employed copper tubes: Two sets of capillary tubes with an inner diameter of 0.002 m, an evaporator length of 0.05 and a condenser … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRational Rules of Thumb in Finite Dynamic Games N-person Backward Induction with Inconsistently Aligned Beliefs and Full RationalityYanis VaroufakisRecent work has cast considerable doubt on the plausibility of specific assumptions about how rational agents form out-of-equilibrium beliefs in finite extensive games in which beliefs are induced backwards. The point is that the resulting consistently aligned beliefs are incoherent in view of the counterfactuals they rely on. This study asks: How will the possibility of inconsistently aligned beliefs affect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 16 Dec 2005 · 8,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Evolutionary Fitness of Bounded Rationality: Heterogeneous Populations in Antagonistic InteractionsTassos PatokosConventional game theory assumes hyper-rational players, while evolutionary game theory abandons the assumption. This paper studies what happens when agents of both profiles co-exist and get engaged in a series of antagonistic interactions (the Hawk-Dove game). It is shown that if rational agents are perfectly informed as to the type of their opponent, they find it optimal to always be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 1 Dec 2005 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Absorption Coefficients and Thermal Diffusivity of Modulated Doped GaAlAs/GaAs Heterostructure by Photothermal Deflection SpectroscopyS. Aloulou, M. Fathallah, M. Oueslati, A. SfaxiWe report in this study theoretical and experimental studies of photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) for planar doped heterostructures AlGaAs/GaAs. The PDS spectra at T=300K are recorded by varying the wavelength of the excited radiation for different modulation frequencies. They show two different regions related to the fundamental electronic transitions from GaAs and Si doped AlGaAs. The DX levels have been … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Comparison between Stone Mastic Asphalt and Asphalt Concrete Wearing CourseSalihudin Hassim, Rohimah Khoiriyah Harahap, Ratnasamy Muniandy et al.Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) technology has been introduced to Malaysia since the 1990’s. Since then, several trials had lain projects had been initiated for the purpose of evaluating the mix on local road condition. However, the acceptability of SMA is still quite discouraging among the local road authorities. This setback is probably due to the misconception on the high initial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Exchange Protocol in Elliptic Curve Cryptography with No Public PointK. Kaabneh, H. Al-BdourIn recent years some cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to properties that make them suitable for use in constrained environment like mobile information appliances, where computing resources and power availability are limited. One of these cryptosystems is Elliptic curve which requires less computational power, memory and communication bandwidth compared to other cryptosystem. This makes the elliptic curve cryptography to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Analysis and Design of the Enhanced Firewall for Intranet SecurityU. K. Singh, A. K. Ramani, N. S. ChaudhariIntranet often employ an Internet firewall to mitigate risks of system penetration, data theft, data destruction and other security breaches. Conventional Internet firewalls impose an overly simple inside vs. outside model of security that is incompatible with many business practices that require extending limited trust to external entities. Additionally, firewall security perimeters are somewhat weak: they provide no protection from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,710 accessesView PDFCite
