Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinancial Assessment of a new Soil Heating Technology for Off-season Asparagus ProductionA. Luce, K. Mattas, I. Tzouramani et al.The financial effectiveness of a soil heating system placed under the crowns in each raised bed (UCR) of Asparagus plants (Asparagus officinalis L.) was evaluated and then compared with a traditional greenhouse production system (TPS), a plastic greenhouse without any heating system, in northern Greece. Several appraisal approaches, such as net present value, net present value adjusted for inflation and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating the Scouring Depth of Bridge Pier Using Self-Organizing Neural Networks (SOM)Abolfazl Rafat, Gholam Abbas Barani, Amineh NaseriScouring is caused as a result of erosion of river bed by water flow and materials carried by water. This research estimates the scouring depth using self-organizing neural network (SOM). The obtained findings were compared with findings of other models. It was found that self- organizing neural network (SOM) has higher correlation coefficient (0.98), compared to other methods. It was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2017 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInventory Models with Power Demand and Inventory-Induced Demand with Holding Cost FunctionsRakesh Prakash Tripathi, Sarla Pareek, Manjit KaurIn real life customers are motivated to buy more if there is more availability of product. In this study, we develop inventory model for inventory dependent demand with different holding cost function. Mathematical formulations are discussed for two situations i.e., power demand rate with inventory dependent holding cost functions and inventory-induced demand rate with time and inventory dependent holding cost … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 6 Apr 2017 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobustness of XFEM Method for the Simulation of Cracks Propagation in Fracture Mechanics ProblemsAniello Riccio, Umberto Caruso, Antonio Raimondo, Andrea SellittoIn the present paper a numerical sensitivity analysis is presented with the aim to assess the effectiveness of the X-FEM method for fracture mechanics applications. Different test cases have been adopted for the numerical analyses to point out the X-FEM method behavior in 2-D and 3-D elastic and elasto-plastic conditions. Comparisons with a standard ductile damage model have been carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2016 · 8,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Diagnosis of a DC Motor by Bond Graph ApproachAbderrahmène Sallami, Nadia Zanzouri, Mekki KsouriIn this article, a Bond Graph (BG) approach is used for modeling, simulation and robust diagnosis of a DC Motor. The design and calculation of an observer is achieved by using graphical methods taking advantage of the structural properties of bond graph model. Simulation results are used to show the dynamic behavior of the system variables and assessing the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Signal Processing Techniques for Detection of Power Quality EventsAbhijith Augustine, Ruban Deva Prakash, Rajy Xavier, Mareeta Cheriyan ParasseryThe challenging process industry requires true power for its smooth functioning and here comes the importance of good power or power. The term Power Quality (PQ) aims at supplying true power to the process. The scope of the power quality increased with the introduction of newly designed sophisticated devices like computers and microcontrollers. The performances of these devices are extremely … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2016 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObservational Study of Wind Shear in Northeastern BrazilFernando R. Martins, André R. Gonçalves, Enio B. PereiraThe wind energy share is growing fast in Brazil and a better understanding of wind speed vertical profiles is essential for accurate power density estimates. The wind shear is highly variable in space and time, being influenced by surface layer stability. Studies concerning wind vertical profiles may have a significant contribution to the Brazilian energy sector. However, wind observational data … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Ordering Policy with Stock-Dependent Demand Rate Under Retailer’s Two Stages Trade Credit Financing Using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) ApproachRakesh Prakash Tripathi, Harendra Singh, Neha SangMany researchers have assumed one stage trade credit financing. In this study, we considered two levels of trade credit policy using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach. Demand rate is considered to be stock-dependent for the first level (credit demand) and constant for second level (cash demand). Mathematical models are derived under two different circumstances i.e., case I: The permissible delay … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 18 Nov 2015 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydraulic Flow through Engineering Bentonite-Based Containment BarriersEric Wooi Kee Loh, Devapriya Chitral WijeyesekeraThis paper presents the use of software modelling as a tool to study the impact of hydraulic "resistivity" on the contaminant transport through bentonite-based containment barriers. A sensitivity analysis on the predicted data was carried out by varying the boundary conditions as well as the hydraulic resistance to flow through varying contaminant transport parameters. Accordingly, both advective and diffusive flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2015 · 6,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Superiority and Noninferiority Trial Design with Paired Binary DataMark Chang, Jing WangNon-inferiority of a diagnostic test to the standard is a common issue in medical research. For instance, we may be interested in determining if a new diagnostic test is noninferior to the standard reference test because the new test might be inexpensive to the extent that some small inferior margin in sensitivity or specificity may be acceptable. Noninferiority trials are … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2015 · 8,239 accessesView PDFCite
