Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Bio-Oil into High-Value Hydrocarbons via HydrodeoxygenationMurni M. Ahmad, M. Fitrir R. Nordin, M. Tazli AzizanProblem statement: World energy consumption is forecasted to grow significantly for the foreseeable future with fossil fuel remains the governing energy source. The demand in the need to explore alternative fuel source was further triggered by the overwhelmingly inconsistent cost of gasoline. Bio-oil is an alternative energy source produced from pyrolysis of biomass. However it is undesirable as a ready … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation the Substitution Capability of Oilseeds in Cropping PatternMahmoud Daneshvar Kakhki, S. Youssefzade, Hamideh Ghodrati AzadiProblem statement: Farm activity is a risky activity special in less developed countries, so all decisions and activities are affected by this phenomenon. Consideration of risk either helps to elimination of deviations in result of model or preparing tools for evolution of some policies that the aim of them is reducing the risk for farmers. Oil seed are the second … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFacial Features for Template Matching Based Face RecognitionChai Tong Yuen, M. Rizon, Woo San San, Tan Ching SeongProblem statement: Template matching had been a conventional method for object detection especially facial features detection at the early stage of face recognition research. The appearance of moustache and beard had affected the performance of features detection and face recognition system since ages ago. Approach: The proposed algorithm aimed to reduce the effect of beard and moustache for facial features … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 9,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconfigurable Elliptic Curve Crypto-Hardware Over the Galois Field GF(2163)Mohamed Abdelkader Bencherif, Hamid Bessalah, Abderrezak GuessoumProblem statement: In the last decade, many hardware designs of elliptic curves cryptography have been developed, aiming to accelerate the scalar multiplication process, mainly those based on the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), the major issue concerned the ability of embedding this strategic and strong algorithm in a very few hardware. That is, finding an optimal solution to the one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of Ni/Dolomite Catalyst in Simultaneous Biomass Gasification and Reforming in Fluidized BedAnawat Ketcong, Tharapong Vitidsant, Kaoru FujimotoSimultaneous gasification and steam reforming of the biomass on Ni/dolomite catalyst in fluidized bed reactor were studied in the gaseous production in the one stage reactor. Problem statement: The parameters such as temperature, steam flow rate, biomass feed rate, gas flow rate for fluidization, oxygen flow rate and catalyst types were studied to produce the high gaseous products including tar … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of University Budget Cuts on the Local Economy: Case for a Regional UniversityKalyan ChakrabortyProblem statement: Considering the economic downturn and state-wide revenue shortfall almost all of the states have reduced their spending on higher education. The problem addressed in this study was to assess the economic impact of university budget reductions on the local and state economy of Kansas. Approach: The study used regional multipliers from an input-output model developed by Bureau of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Reliability and Productivity of an Aluminum Extruder by Implementation of Direct Torque Control TechnologyMazouz A. SalahatProblem statement: The linear motor drive is widely used in driving an extrusion puller in an aluminum extrusion industry. The main disadvantage of this drive is manual and step-wise torque control. This research was done to replace the linear motor drive by AC drive with direct torque control technology. Approach: Mathematical calculations were carried to select an AC drive which … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of the Unified Series-Shunt Compensator for Power Quality MitigationM. A. Hannan, A. Mohamed, A. Hussain, Majid al DabbayThis study describes the derivation of an analytical model and simulation for the unified series-shunt compensator (USSC) for investigating power quality in power distribution system. The USSC simulation comprises of two 12-pulse inverters which were connected in series and in shunt with the system. A generalized sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) switching technique was developed in the proposed controller for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,636 accessesView PDFCite
