Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Preliminary Study on Choosing Sports Tourism as a Leisure Time OptionMaura StancuProblem statement: It has long been acknowledged that, when speaking about sports tourism, we must consider, on one side, tourism-an economic and social phenomenon that is specific to modern civilization and on the other side sports-the most widely spread social phenomenon in the world. No other events had such a complex unfolding than sports events, and tourism had undoubtedly become … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,440 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Genetic Algorithm Based Multi Objective Service Restoration in Distribution SystemsSathish Kumar Kannaiah, Jayabarathi Thangavel, D. P. KothariProblem statement: A Genetic Algorithm (GA) used here to find exact or approximate solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms that use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation, selection and crossover. Approach: GA is a method for search and optimization based on the process of natural selection and evolution. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2011 · 7,029 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStudy and Realization of the Basic Methods of the Calibration in Stereopsis For Augmented RealityFezani Mustapha, Batouche Chaouki, Benhocine AbdelhamidAugmented reality (RA) is aimed at ameliorating our perception of the real world by addition of elements which are not a priori observable by the human eye. RA is define as a system able of combining real and virtual pictures, in 3D and real-time. The virtual objects must be cast in a consistent manner in real pictures. In practice, objects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,743 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Experimental Study of Petty Corrupt Behaviour in Small Decision Making ProblemsTakemi FujikawaThis research discusses small decision making problems and petty corruption as their practical applications with a structured economic experiment. One of examples of petty corruption considered includes demands for petty bribes by traffic officials followed by police. We examine that it is caused by subjective underweighting of rare events and its objective probabilities. This literature reports results of an experiment, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 3 Dec 2005 · 8,105 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Study of Parameters Influencing the Purity of Potassium Sulfate Fertilizer Produced from Jordanian Raw MaterialsMousa GougazehThe general objective of the present investigation was to make a contribution towards improving the purity of the produced potassium sulfate from (KCl, Arab Potash Company-Dead Sea) and (H2SO4, Jordanian Phosphate Company). The process parameters influencing the contamination of the poisoning chlorine within the product were experimentally investigated. The experiments were performed in a small-scale batch reactor equipped with a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,042 accessesView PDF Cite
