Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor on Transient Stability of Single Machine Infinite Bus System with the Exact Short Transmission Line ModelPrechanon KumkratugProblem statement: It 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 were introduced in recent years. The Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) has been proposed for better control power flow and dynamic performance. The exact short transmission line model consists of the resistance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 2 Feb 2012 · 7,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvantages of Utilizing Geotextiles in Fixing Sandy Soils and Increasing Shear Strength in Water Conveyance TrenchesAlireza Mardookhpour, Leila OoshaksaraieWith the increasing demand in water supply and either for generation or for irrigation and human consumption, water conveyance structures must guarantee a maximum efficiency at the lowest construction and maintenance costs. Using thin geotextiles allow very low permeability and very high transmissivity. Conclusion/Recommendations: The system constructs a continues, low roughness on the entire section of canal. In this research … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 13,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Egyptian Smectitic Clay Deposits by Methylene Blue AdsorptionSalwa D. Abayazeed, Essam El-HinnawiProblem statement: The characterization of smectitic clays has been traditionally made using physical and chemical methods which are time-consuming and require costly equipment. Adsorption of methylene blue by these clays has been introduced as a quick and cheap method for the estimation of cation exchange capacity and surface area. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMost Used Rock Mass Classifications for Underground OpeningAl-Jbori A’ssim, Zhang Y. XingProblem statement: Rock mass characterization is an integral part of rock engineering practice. The empirical design methods based on rock mass classifications systems provide quick assessments of the support requirements for underground excavations at any stage of a project, even if the available geotechnical data are limited. The underground excavation industry tends to lean on empirical approaches such as rock … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDesign and Construction of a Smart Meter with Embedded Web PortalDavid Mike-Ewewie, Ayodele Ifijeh, Victoria Oguntosin et al.The absence of the necessary infrastructure to make an accurate and precise collection of data when compared to the first-world countries in the power industry is great. Due to that, the need for the deployment of smart meters has increased in order to offer consumers and customers awareness of their electricity usage, helping them lower their total energy footprint. In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 8 · 14 Jun 2024 · 5,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOn the Design and Construction of a Dual Axis Solar Tracker Prototype for a Dish Concentrator using ATMega3298P MicrocontrollerAlbright Abu Edet, Samaila Umaru, Isah IbrahimThe desire for reliable power supply is the reason for further research into alternative sources of power. Although solar tracking is not a new technology, yet solar harvesters still suffer low efficiency due to the intermittence of solar insolation. Thus many smart systems have been designed to maximise solar harvesters. Among the systems is the dual axis solar tracking system. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDesign and Implementation of Optimum Management System using Cost Evaluation and Financial Analysis for Prevention of Building FailureNima AmaniBuilding management is complex as the implementation of the engineering ‎management system and is subjected to require the top management for supporting the construction industry. To ‎achieve this management must use a system to control the preventive management of building ‎failure. The purpose of the paper is to develop a new approach to optimize the management ‎process for systematic prevention … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 19 Mar 2016 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCONSTRUCTION OF GENERAL SUBSUMPTIVE SOLUTIONS OF BOOLEAN EQUATIONS VIA COMPLETE-SUM DERIVATIONAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Hussain Mobarak AlbarakatiBoolean-equation solving permeates many diverse areas of modern science. To solve a system of Boolean equations, one usually combines them into an equivalent single Boolean equation {f(X) = 0} whose set of solutions is exactly the same as that of the original system of equations. One of the general classes of solutions for Boolean equations is the subsumptive general solution, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2014 · 7,109 accessesView PDFCite
