Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement on the Design of a Cabinet Grain DryerAdzimah K. Stephen, Seckley EmmanuelProblem statement: Grains are routinely seen dumped in villages and major cities during the peak of harvest. Therefore it is necessary that these grains are properly dried and stored to ensure availability and wholesomeness throughout the year. Advancements have taken place in the practice of drying since the first world war. Manufacturing methods have greatly improved production rate and the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,720 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUptake and Recovery of Lead by Agarose Gel PolymersAnurag Pandey, Anupam Shukla, Lalitagauri RayProblem statement: The uptake and recovery of lead ions were investigated by using agarose gel polymers. Approach: The experimental results showed that the agarose gel were effective in removing Pb (II) from solution. Biosorption equilibrium was approached within 4 h. Pseudo second-order was applicable to all the sorption data over the entire time range. Results: The sorption data conformed well … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Higher Sludge Recycling Rate on Anaerobic Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent in a Semi-Commercial Closed Digester for Renewable EnergyAlawi Sulaiman, Zainuri Busu, Meisam Tabatabaei et al.Problem statement: A 500 m3 semi-commercial closed anaerobic digester was constructed for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment and methane gas capture for renewable energy. During the start-up operation period, the Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) accumulation could not be controlled and caused instability on the system. Approach: A settling tank was installed and sludge was recycled as to provide a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Truss-Inspired Model with the Uniform Strength Optimization Theory to Predict Spongy Bone Geometry in Proximal FemurHamed Pishdast, Farzam Farahmand, Gholamreza RouhiThis paper presents a new naïve approach for simulating bone remodeling process. It is based on the uniform strength theory of optimization and employs a truss-like model for bone. The truss was subjected to external loads including 5 point loads simulating the hip joint contact forces and 3 muscular forces at the attachment sites of the muscles to the bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimultaneous Presence of Growth and Remodeling in the Bone Adaptation TheorySeyyed Amir Hooshiar Ahmedi, Gholamreza Rouhi, Hamidreza Katouzian, Seyyed Ali Hooshiar AhmediMechanical forces acting on bone during growth affect their final shape and strength. Mechanoregulation of bone growth is maybe recognized in embryogenesis, and also in the adaptation of the adult skeleton to changes in mechanical loading. By combining equations describing bone remodeling and growth with an iterative finite element analysis, a computational model to simulate the simultaneous effects of bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Spot Diameter and Sheets Thickness on Fatigue Life of Spot Welded Structure based on FEA ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. B. Rosli, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents the effect of the spot weld and sheets thickness on the fatigue life of the of the spot-weld joints to predict the lifetime and location of the weakest spot-welds due to the variable amplitude loading conditions. A simple model was used to illustrate the technique of spot-weld fatigue analysis. Finite element model and analysis were carried out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,864 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Complete Automation of Unit Testing for JavaScript ProgramsM. AlshraidehProblem statement: Program testing is expensive and labor intensive, often consuming more than half of the total development costs, and yet it is frequently not done well and the results are not always satisfactory. The objective of this paper is to present an automatic test data generation tool that aims to completely automate unit testing of JavaScript functions. The methodology: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Moving Bed Biofilm Process for Biological Organics and Nutrients Removal from Municipal WastewaterM. Kermani, B. Bina, H. Movahedian et al.In this study, experiments have been conducted to evaluate the organics and nutrients removal from synthetic wastewater by a laboratory scale moving bed biofilm process. For nutrients removal, moving bed biofilm process has been applied in series with anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic units in four separate reactors. Moving bed biofilm reactors were operated continuously at different loading rates of nitrogen … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Behavior of Vertical Shear Links made of Easy-Going SteelAmir Saedi Daryan, Hesam Bahrampoor, Masood Ziaei et al.Problem Statement: Since the time that steel was first used as a construction material, engineers have attempted to increase strength, reduce weight and produce more economical structures by using elegant member sections. However, the increase in steel strength and the decrease in cross section area are not always useful and in some cases it is necessary to reduce the strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Investigation of Elastoplastic Deformation of a Sandwich Beam on the Elastic FoundationMoh’d Ishaq Abu HalawaElastoplastic bending of a sandwich beam with a rigid compressible filler on an elastic base has been studied. To describe kinematics of asymmetrical across thickness pack in the bearing layers the Bernoulli hypotheses have been accepted. Displacements in the filler vary linearly over thickness. The distributed superficial loading simulates the hydrostatic effect of the ambient liquid. The reaction of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,567 accessesView PDFCite
