A comparative study with a reference method is applied in order to investigate the validity of the proposed method for potentiometric analysis of pharmaceutical compounds containing quinine. Approach: A Nernstian equation was proved for all … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,694 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Leakage Current to Predict Insulator Flashover Using Artificial Neural NetworkN. Narmadhai, A. Ebenezer JeyakumarProblem statement: The phenomenon of flashover in polluted insulators has been continued by the study of the characteristics of contaminating layers deposited on the surface of insulators in high voltage laboratories. In the literature, Experimental investigations have been carried out on a real insulator or a flat plate model of insulators under high voltage application. This study proposed the Equivalent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Global Positioning System Data for Offshore Platform DeformationAbdul Nasir Matori, Nurrohmat WidjajantiProblem statement: Reservoir compaction and shallow gas migration phenomena may cause offshore platform to experience deformation which if happens excessively will affect their structural integrity. Approach: Hence it is crucial to monitor and quantify the magnitude of the deformation especially if they are not uniform throughout the platform structure. However since mostly the offshore platforms are few hundreds kilometers away … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving an Electrostatic Powder Coating Process via Signal to Noise Response SurfacePongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: In a coating process, the master plate referenced brightness or color shade was critical to the exterior appearance on aluminum alloy wheels. The quality measures of interest are the metallic paint thickness values on four areas. Because of these lower quality levels, the manufacturer has spent more on the cost of restudy or scrap as well as the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
