Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Outcome of Conservative Treatment of Closed Fracture Shaft Humerus in Adult PatientsM. Taha MuzahimProblem statement: Fractures of the humeral shaft are commonly encountered by the orthopaedic surgeons; accounting for approximately 3% of all fractures. There is a wide array of good options for their treatment and controversy over the best methods for many situations. Appropriate nonoperative and operative treatment of patients with humeral shaft fractures, however, requires an understanding of humeral anatomy, the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 9 May 2011 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Outage, Business Continuity and Businesses' Choices of Power Outage Mitigation MeasuresAli Asgary, Yeganeh Mousavi-JahromiProblem statement: Power outage has been mentioned as one of the most experienced and perceived risks by various types of businesses and organizations. Thus, reducing the impacts of power outage has become a key agenda in business continuity planning. Back-up or stand-by generators are among the most well known measures taken by power consumers to tackle the power outage problem. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2011 · 7,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving an Electrostatic Powder Coating Process via Signal to Noise Response SurfacePongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: In a coating process, the master plate referenced brightness or color shade was critical to the exterior appearance on aluminum alloy wheels. The quality measures of interest are the metallic paint thickness values on four areas. Because of these lower quality levels, the manufacturer has spent more on the cost of restudy or scrap as well as the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximation of Aggregate Losses Using SimulationMohamed Amraja Mohamed, Ahmad Mahir Razali, Noriszura IsmailProblem statement: The modeling of aggregate losses is one of the main objectives in actuarial theory and practice, especially in the process of making important business decisions regarding various aspects of insurance contracts. The aggregate losses over a fixed time period is often modeled by mixing the distributions of loss frequency and severity, whereby the distribution resulted from this approach … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultivariable Proportional Integral Controllers for Multi-Inputs-Multi-Outputs Desalination System Fed by a Photovoltaic GeneratorAbderrahmen Ben Chaabene, Anis SellamiProcess control is an essential part of the desalination industry that requires for driving at the optimum operating conditions an increase in the life time of the plant and reduction of the unit product cost. The desalination is a highly complex process, so that the majority of dynamic models are of the form of Multi-Inputs-Multi-Outputs (MIMO) systems. Problem statement: Driving … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware Implementation of Truncated Multipliers Using Spartan-3AN, Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 FPGA DevicesMuhammad H. RaisProblem statement: The development cost for Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are high, algorithms should be verified and optimized before implementation. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP), image processing and multimedia requires extensive use of multiplication. The truncated multipliers can easily be implemented using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices. Approach: This research presented the comparative study of Spartan-3AN, Virtex-4 and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,334 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Protein and Lysine on Performance and Carcass Yield of TurkeysF. Peñaranda-Ali, R. Santos-Ricalde, L. Sarmiento-Franco et al.Problem statement: There is a concern related to loss of nitrogen to the environment from animal manure and the high cost of the protein supplement. Thus, the current study was undertaken to determine the effect of reduction of CP and increased of lysine on growth and carcass yield in turkeys. Approach: A factorial experiment was carried out with commercial turkeys … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,637 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Methodologies to Test Hydrocarbon ReservoirsFrancesca Verga, Vera RoccaProblem statement: The definition and the economic viability of the best development strategy of a hydrocarbon reservoir mainly depend on the quantity and type of fluids and on the well productivity. Well testing, consisting in producing hydrocarbon to the surface while measuring the pressure variations induced in the reservoir, has been used for decades to determine the fluid nature and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential, Implications and Solutions Regarding the Use of Rendered Animal Fats in AquafeedsJesse T. Trushenski, Rebecca T. LochmannProblem statement: In the past, aquafeeds were comprised largely of fish meal and fish oil derived from marine reduction fisheries. In addition to being highly palatable and readily digested by cultured fishes, these feedstuffs were historically inexpensive sources of protein, energy and essential nutrients. However, increasing cost and concerns over safety and sustainability have greatly incentivized the transition from fish … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 13,998 accessesView PDFCite
