Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Reversible BCD Adder For Nanotechnology Based SystemsMajid Haghparast, Keivan NaviThis paper proposes two reversible logic gates, HNFG and HNG. The first gate HNFG can be used as two Feynman Gates. It is suitable for a single copy of two bits with no garbage outputs. It can be used as &#34Copying Circuit&#34 to increase fan-out because fan-out is not allowed in reversible circuits. The second gate HNG can implement all … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 10,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Influence of Different Process Parameters on Shrinkage of Injection-Molded PartsA. R. Jafarian, M. ShakeriDifferent models have been proposed to investigate the effects of various process parameters on shrinkage of plastic parts, which in most cases the effect of each parameter is obtained by changing one factor at a time. In this research, a simple flat model has been used and a simulation code has been developed. Then, through this simulation code, the effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Price Effect and Country of Origin Effect on Consumer Counterfeit Products PurchaseMartin Owusu AnsahProliferation of Counterfeit Consumer Products is one of the insistent apprehensions confronting managers and companies in many countries. The current study compared the influence of price and country of origin effects on consumer attitude and purchase intention of counterfeit consumer products in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. The study adopted a positivist research philosophy and a descriptive research design in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2017 · 8,206 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractDiabetes Group Visit in a Primary Care SettingSelma Mujezinovic RochesterThe group visits models one innovation in the field of chronic illness management that shows promise in meeting the growing demands for this type of care. Patients get significant peer and healthcare provider support during group visits. Group visits typically last 90 min and occur on a regularly scheduled basis. The study design was a quasi-experimental pre-post-test with a comparison … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2017 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccessing the Appropriateness of a Spatial Regression Using Generalized (h1h2-)Slepian Random FieldWayan Somayasa, Jamhir Safani, La Ode Ngkoimani, Muhamad Zamrun F.In this study we derived asymptotic goodness-of-fit test (model check) for spatial regression where the critical region as well as the p-value of the tests are approximated based on the distribution of a type of the integral functional of the generalized (h1h2-)-Slepian field and the set-indexed Gaussian white noise. Such random fields are obtained as the limit process of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 2 May 2017 · 7,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Personal Strengths and Weaknesses Impact Subjective Well-being of Elderly?Nurhayati Mohamad, Khadijah Alavi, Mohd Suhaimi Mohamad et al.Everyone gets affected by the challenges of aging, but personal strengths and weaknesses of elderly people influence their well-being the most. The current study is designed to measure the impact of personal strengths (intergenerational social support and self-esteem) and weakness (loneliness) on Subjective Well-Being (SWB) of Malaysian institutionalized elders. A cross-sectional survey design is employed to arrive at the random … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2017 · 7,712 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation and Experimental Analysis of a Demonstrative Solar Heating and Cooling Plant Installed in Naples (Italy)Annamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia et al.In this study the model of a Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system and its experimental setup are presented. The SHC system under investigation is a demonstration plant installed in Naples, based on flat plate solar collectors and a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In addition, two vertical tanks are installed as storage system. The balance of system includes: A cooling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2016 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Diagnosis of a DC Motor by Bond Graph ApproachAbderrahmène Sallami, Nadia Zanzouri, Mekki KsouriIn this article, a Bond Graph (BG) approach is used for modeling, simulation and robust diagnosis of a DC Motor. The design and calculation of an observer is achieved by using graphical methods taking advantage of the structural properties of bond graph model. Simulation results are used to show the dynamic behavior of the system variables and assessing the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameters Optimization of Adaptive Cashew Shelling Cutter Based on BP Neural Network and Genetic AlgorithmYun-Fei Fu, Jie Gong, Hui Huang et al.The aim of this study is to determine the optimal parameters of the adaptive cashew shelling cutter. To meet the requirements of cashew nut processing enterprises, this study takes the whole-kernel rate as the optimization objective. Let the three main parameters of the adaptive cashew shelling cutter: The distance between upper and lower cutters, the pre-pressure of the spring and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 1 Nov 2015 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
