Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFlexural Behaviors of Damaged Full-Scale Highway Bridge Girder Strengthened by External Post TensionSayan Sirimontree, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Prestressed Concrete (PC) I section girder with Reinforced Concrete (RC) topping slab has been widely applied to long span bridge girders for several years. A bridge girder is subjected to severe conditions caused by an aggressive environment and overloading. A crack can be initiated and propagate when the tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of concrete due to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFeasibility of Using TIG Welding in Dissimilar Metals between Steel/Aluminum AlloyRattana Borrisutthekul, Pusit Mitsomwang, Sirirat Rattanachan, Yoshiharu MutohProblem statement: Currently, in order to suppress intermetallic reaction layer formation during dissimilar metals welding between steel/aluminum alloy, only laser beam welding as self-brazing technique has been applied. However, TIG welding process might be one of welding process candidate for joining dissimilar metals welding between steel/aluminum alloys due to its capability in joining thin section. In the present study, the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 14,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Hybrid of Fuzzy and Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller for Electro-Hydraulic Position Servo SystemPornjit Pratumsuwan, Siripun Thongchai, Surapun TansriwongProblem statement: While classical PID controllers are sensitive to variations in the system parameters, Fuzzy controllers do not need precise information about the system variables in order to be effective. However, PID controllers are better able to control and minimize the steady state error of the system. To enhance the controller performance, hybridization of these two controller structures comes to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 10,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of Cooling and Supplemental Bovine Somatotropin on Milk Production relating to Body Glucose Metabolism and Utilization of Glucose by the Mammary Gland in Crossbred Holstein CattleSiravit Sitprija, Somchai Chanpongsang, Narongsak ChaiyabutrProblem statement: The low milk yield and shorter persistency of lactation of dairy cattle is the major problem for the dairy practices in the tropics. High environmental temperatures and rapid decline of plasma growth hormone level can influence milk production. Regulation of the milk yield of animals is mainly based on the mechanisms governing the quantity of glucose extracted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAntiproliferative Effects of Alkaloids Isolated from the Tuber of Stephania venosa via the Induction of Cell Cycle Arrest in Mammalian Cancer Cell LinesSirinapa Nantapap, Chatchanok Loetchutinat, Puttinan Meepowpan et al.Problem statement: S. venosa (Menispermaceae) is used in traditional medicine. The constituents of S. venosa belonging to showed remarkable cytotoxic activity. According to previous research, S. venosa contains several alkaloids, such as protoberberine stephanine cyclanoline and N-methylstepholidine, kamaline, (+)-N-carboxamidostepharine, (-)-O-methylstepharinosine, (-)-stepharinosine, aporphine (-)-O-acethylsukhodiamine and oxostephanosine. The chemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting to bioassay-guided fractionation, particularly Antiproliferative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSolving One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem with Discrete Demands and Capacitated Planning ObjectiveSirirat Wongprakornkul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: One-dimensional cutting stock problem with discrete demands and capacitated planning objective is an NP hard problem. Approach: The mathematical model with column-generation technique by a branch-and-bound procedure and the heuristic based on the first fit decreasing method are proposed. Then, both approaches were compared and some characteristics were investigated such as upper-bound value, percentage above lower-bound value, computation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAutomated Position System Implementation over Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks in 2-Dimension SpaceSoumen Kanrar, Mohammad SirajProblem statement: The real world scenario have changed from the wired connection to wireless connection. Over the years software development has responded to the increasing growth of wireless connectivity in developing network enabled software. The problem arises in the wireless domain due to random packet loss in transport layer and as well as in data link layer for the end … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,196 accessesView PDFCite
