Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Common Maintenance Methods for Flexible PavementsAsma T. Ibraheem, Suda M. GaniProblem statement: With the increasing use and awareness of pavement management systems and the growing emphasis on asset management of pavement infrastructure, it is important to strengthen the maintenance components of these systems and particularly the preventive maintenance component. Iraqi Roads don’t receive an effective and proper maintenance during their service life until they reach the state of major failure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards more Manageable Coastal Building; Initial Coastal Building Construction GuidelinesRoslan Talib, Mohd Z. SuliemanProblem statement: As we may not be aware that the coastal construction is different from inland construction. Building in a coastal environment is different from building in an inland area. In general, buildings in coastal areas must be designed and built to withstand higher loads due to its more extreme conditions. Nowadays, the issue of global warming, uncertainty of global … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 22 Aug 2011 · 8,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign For Test Technique for Leakage Power Reduction in Nanoscale Static Random Access MemoryN. M. Sivamangai, GunavathiProblem statement: As technology scales down, the integration density of transistors increases and most of the power is dissipated as leakage. Leakage power reduction is achieved in Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells by increasing the source voltage (source biasing) of the SRAM array. Another promising issue in nanoscaled devices is the process parameter variations. Due to these variations, higher … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 6,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of a Two Unit Standby Oil Delivering System with a Provision of Switching Over to another System at Need to Increase the AvailabilityUpasana Sharma, Rekha, Gulshan TanejaProblem statement: The study deals with a standby system consisting of two units. Initially one unit is operative and the other is standby. When both the units are failed then there is a provision of switching over to the other similar system. This practical situation may be observed in an oil refinery plant. Real data on failure and repair rates … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,107 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 · 8,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of Two-Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby System with three States and Preventive Maintenance Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsM. Y. HaggagProblem statement: Several researchers have studied the reliability behavior of a three state systems, but no attention was paid to the reliability evaluation due to preventive maintenance. The better maintenance of the system originates better reliability. Also, standby support increases the reliability of the system. Approach: Determine the efficacy of preventive maintenance on the reliability and performance of the system. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSteel Piling Corrosion Management of Al-Zubare HarborMohammed H. Hafiz, Hemin M. MohyaldeenProblem statement: Damage due to corrosion is a significant problem worldwide. Countries around the world have estimated that the cost of corrosion to their national economies to be 3-4% of their gross national product. Approach: Design and implementation a new steel piling of the Corrosion Management Program (CMP) in Al-Zubare harbor. Corrosion management algorithm can be divided into three major … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors for Wound Complications Following AbdominoplastySamir K. JabaitiProblem Statement: Abdominoplasty has become an increasingly popular procedure. Risk factors affecting wound complications of abdominoplasty are not adequately defined in literature. Identification of these risk factors is crucial for better patient’s selection and counseling. The objectives of this study were to determine wound complication rate following abdominoplasty and to examine the relationship of a set of possible risk factors … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Adding Dexmedetomidine versus Fentanyl to Intrathecal Bupivacaine on Spinal Block Characteristics in Gynecological Procedures: A Double Blind Controlled StudySubhi M. Al-Ghanem, Islam M. Massad, Mahmoud M. Al-Mustafa et al.Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the onset and duration of sensory and motor block as well as operative analgesia and adverse effects of Dex Metedo Midine (DXM) or fentanyl given intrathecally with plain 0.5% bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. Approach: seventy six patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status I, II and III scheduled … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 14,172 accessesView PDFCite
