Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Tunnel Face Stability through a Ground Stress Analysis with a Hemispherical Geometry ApproximationPierpaolo OresteThe evaluation of the stability of the excavation face is an important aspect in the design of a tunnel. When it is not possible to ensure excavation face stability in natural conditions, it is in fact necessary to intervene with remarkably costly reinforcement operations. The analysis of the stability conditions of an excavation face can be conducted, with a certain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 8 Jan 2015 · 6,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStability Analysis of Solar Cell Characteristics Above Room Temperature Using Indium Nitride Based Quantum DotMohd Abdur Rashid, Adawati Yusuf, Md. Abdullah Al Humayun et al.This study represents the improvement of stability of solar cell characteristics above room temperature. We have analyzed theoretically the temperature dependence of three major characteristics of solar cell using Ge and InN based quantum dot in the active layer of the device structure. Among the major characteristics of solar cell we have investigated the rate of change of open circuit … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Cross-Layered Path Stability Based Routing Protocol for WiMAX NetworksM. Deva Priya, M. L. ValarmathiIn IEEE 802.16, a Subscriber Station (SS) is battery powered with limited capacity. A SS can be made to operate for longer durations by deploying power saving features or by using relay stations. Multi-hop communication conserves power, but finding an optimal path to the destination is monotonous. Path stability indicates how stable a path is and how long it can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 9 Sep 2013 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKey Factors in the Face Stability Analysis of Shallow TunnelsDaniel Dias, Pierpaolo OresteStability of the excavation face in shallow tunnels and in poor ground is at present a relevant problem in tunnelling. A new calculation procedure is illustrated in this study for the analysis of the effect on the face stability in shallow tunnels of the following key factors: pre-support structures, presence of groundwater, free length of the tunnel (length of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVoltage Stability of Short Transmission Line Equipped with a Thyristor Controlled Series CapacitorPrechanon KumkratugIt is becoming increasingly important to fully utilize the existing transmission system assets due to environmental legislation, rights-of-way issues, costs of construction and deregulation policies that introduced in recent years. The Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) has been proposed for the better control power flow and dynamic performance. The exact short transmission line model consists of the resistance and reactance. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 8 Nov 2012 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVoltage Stability of Long Transmission Line Equipped with a Thyristor Controlled Series CapacitorPrechanon KumkratugProblem statement: Power-Voltage curve provides very important information for voltage stability analysis. The exact long transmission line model consists of the resistance and the reactance. The resistance causes in the active line loss. It is not easy task to achieve the power-voltage curve characteristics of power system with the exact long line model equipeed with a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2012 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
