Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of the use of Polyurethane Residue Aggregated to the Plaster of Civil ConstructionGuilherme Moraes de Oliveira, Vittória Caroline Souza dos Santos, José de Souza, Tatiana Louise Ávila C. RochaThe study deals with the reuse of Polyurethane (PU) obtained from a kitchen sponge added to plaster for use in civil engineering. The kitchen sponge is an item widely used by the population in their daily lives, generating a significant accumulation of waste. Thus, from the analysis of the properties of the kitchen sponge, it was seeking possible reuse of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2019 · 7,142 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordConstruction and Application of a Statistical Test for Coefficient of Variation on Normal DistributionsSolly Matshonisa Seeletse, Gezani Richman MiyambuIn this study a novel statistical test is derived for the Coefficient of Variation (CV) under normal distributions. This is a newly derived test with value to engineering sciences in aspects of production of accurate items. The CV can measure the precision of a measuring instrument, among other applications. In order to determine instrument reliability, start by generating measures using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 11 Nov 2017 · 7,850 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIn-silico Rational Protein Engineering and Design Approach to Improve Thermostability of a Haloalkane Dehalogenase EnzymeRaghunath Satpathy, V. Badireenath Konkimalla, Jagnyeswar RathaThermostability of enzymes is a major prerequisite for use in industrial enzymology. There are as such no simple general principles for achieving thermostability in case of enzymes as many factors are required to fulfil for different enzymes. The present study describes computational methods to design thermostable haloalkane dehalogenase enzyme using the crystal structure available Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 1EDE). … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Oct 2015 · 8,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSOUND AND VIBRATION CONSIDERATIONS OF SOME MATERIALS FOR AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING APPLICATIONSMohammad Al-Zubi, Emmanuel Ayorinde, Nabeel Alshabatat et al.Vibration and noise amelioration in and across several components and modules of the automotive, such as the panels, doors, engine covers, seats and others, is extremely important. NVH performance has been recognized as a critical factor in the purchase decisions of many buyers. This study examines the vibro-acoustic characteristics of some monolithic and composite materials and some generally periodic material … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 2 Dec 2014 · 6,485 accessesView PDF Cite
