Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConservation of “Partial Vorticity” with Application on Hydraulic JumpsHarald NaeserIn two preceding works, the idea of partial conservation theorems was introduced and conservation equations for partial energy and partial angular momentum were established. A similar conservation theorem for partial vorticity of incompressible fluids is established here. The vorticity vector is divided into two elements (both denoted “partial vorticity”) and their conservation equations established separately. They show that, in addition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Relationship between Cohesion and ComplexityCara Stein, Glenn Cox, Letha EtzkornMany metrics have been proposed to measure the complexity or cohesion of object-oriented software. However, the complexity or cohesion of a piece of software is more difficult to capture than these metrics imply. In fact, studies have shown that existing metrics consistently fail to capture complexity or cohesion well. This study explores the reasons behind these results: cohesion is difficult … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 11th February, 2004 Earthquake of The Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-ZoubiThe Dead Sea fault system and its branching faults represent one of the most tectonically active regions in the Middle East. The present investigation emphasis on the recent earthquake swarm, which occurred at the end of 2003 and extended to the middle of July 2004 with critical examination on the strongest event of 11th Feb. 2004. The present study examines … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Strength of Standard Involute Gear Teeth with Novel Circular Root Fillet DesignV. Spitas, Th. Costopoulos, C. SpitasIn this study the idea of spur gear teeth with circular instead of the standard trochoidal root fillet is introduced and investigated numerically using BEM. The strength of these new teeth is studied in comparison with the standard design by discretizing the tooth boundary using isoparametric Boundary Elements. In order to facilitate the analysis the teeth are treated as non-dimensional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Reconstructed Basins Using Pattern Spectrum ProcedureP. RadhakrishnanSeveral classical and Fractal binary shapes, which are akin to geophysical shapes such as basins, lakes, and pore-grain spruce, are analyzed and characterized by employing various mathematical morphological transformations, and methods. By employing rhombus, square and octagon structuring elements, these shapes are decomposed into their skeletal networks and their corresponding skeletal network subsets are dilated to the respective degree by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs the LEADER Initiative a Real Contribution to Rural Development in Underdevelopment Areas in Europe?M. M. Perez-Fra, Rosa Verdugo-Mateshe LEADER Community Initiative is a public programme that adopt on a local initiative approach, targeting rural areas as their field of intervention. The aim of this study is to provide elements for discussion regarding the applicability of such strategies for rural areas, which lag far behind European levels and to gauge the true bearing they have on the diversification … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Challenge of the Hospitals and Health Care Systems in Preparation for Biological and Chemical Terrorism AttackEldo Ermenegildo Frezza MDIn the present study a few aspects of planning for terrorism events that expose large numbers of people to contamination are discussed. Many issues were considered as an absolute requirement for implementation of NBC response: 1) policy, 2) plan and 3) emergency department response to surge capacity. Key elements of the healthcare facility response plan include prompt recognition of the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractED-XRF Analysis of Total Suspended Particulates from Enamelware Manufacturing IndustryJ. A. Sonibare, F. A. Akeredolu, O. Osibanjo, I. LatinwoConcentration and elemental composition of the total suspended particulates (TSP) emitted due to manufacturing activities of an enamelware industry in Lagos, Nigeria were investigated. Gravimetric method was used in mass concentration determination and an energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) analyzer was employed in the multi-elemental analysis. The Federal Ministry of Environment (FMENV, Nigeria's environment regulating body) set limit of 250 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
