Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,787 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 abstractA Software Agent for Speech Abiding SystemsR. Manoharan, K. Vivekanandan, V. SundaramProblem statement: In order to bring speech into the mainstream of business process an efficient digital signal processor is necessary. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the butter fly structure symmetry will enable the harwaring easier. With the DSP and software proposed, togetherly established by means of a system, named here as “Speech Abiding System (SAS)”, a software agent, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Graphical Based Method for a Class of One-Stage Bounded Variables and Single Constrained Linear Programming ProblemsSuwitchaporn Witchakul, Prapaisri Sudasna-na-Ayudthya, Peerayuth Charnsethikul, Kamlesh MathurAn efficient and effective special purpose method is proposed for solving a class of one-stage single constrained linear programming problems with a finite number of right hand side scenarios and bounded variables. We compare our proposed method with a general purpose method using CPLEX interactive optimizer. For various m and n, by using elapsed computational time as the criteria, our … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,919 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability of Non-Neutral and Neutral Dynamic Switched Systems Subject to Internal DelaysM. De la Sen, J. L. Malaina, A. Gallego, J. C. SotoThis study deals with the quadratic stability and linear state-feedback and output-feedback stabilization of switched delayed linear dynamic systems with, in general, a finite number of non commensurate constant internal point delays. The results are obtained based on Lyapunov’s stability analysis via appropriate Krasovsky-Lyapunov’s functionals and the related stability study is performed to obtain both delay independent and delay dependent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,720 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Thermal Radiation and Mixed Convection in an Inclined Circular DuctW. Lakhal, S. Trabelsi, E. Sediki, M. MoussaProblem statement: Modeling thermal radiation with simultaneous buoyancy and forced convection for real gases flowing inside system with complex geometry is a difficult task encountered in engineering applications. Purpose of this study was to research numerically the interaction of mixed convection and thermal radiation in laminar air flow inside an inclined cylindrical duct with Uniform Wall Heat Flux (UWHF). This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNumerical Investigation of Incompressible Fluid Flow through Porous Media in a Lid-Driven Square CavityM.A. Mohd Irwan, A. M. Fudhail, C.S. Nor Azwadi, G. MasoudProblem statement: Investigation of fluid flow behavior through porous media in a liddriven square cavity. Approach: The Brinkman-Forcheimer equation is coupled with the lattice Boltzmann formulation to predict the velocity field in the system. Three numerical experiments were preformed with different values of Darcy number to investigate the effect of porosity on the fluid flow. Results: In the current study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,405 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGeneralized Finite Sequence of Fuzzy Topographic Topological MappingTahir Ahmad, Siti Suhana Jamian, Jamalludin TalibProblem statement: Fuzzy Topographic Topological Mapping (FTTM) was developed to solve the neuromagnetic inverse problem. FTTM consisted of four topological spaces and connected by three homeomorphisms. FTTM 1 and FTTM 2 were developed to present 3-D view of an unbounded single current source and bounded multicurrent sources, respectively. FTTM 1 and FTTM 2 were homeomorphic and this homeomorphism will generate … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,917 accessesView PDFCite
