Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign Analysis of High-Speed Axial-Flux GeneratorM. Sadeghierad, A. Darabi, H. Lesani, H. MonsefProblem Statement: Axial flux permanent magnet machines are regarded as compact high efficiency generators for micro-turbines employed in the distributed power generation systems. High-speed rotor of the generator causes some designing and modeling problems. Sensitivity analysis tasks of the machine parameters are difficult and completely different in comparison with the problems associated with conventional machines. Approach: This article presents a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure and Performance of the Meta Inference EngineJean-Marc NIGRO, Yann BARLOYThis study presents the structure and the performance of a new inference engine: the MIE (Meta Inference Engine). It is able to manipulate not only the rules but also the metarules. The article first describes the architecture of the MIE and gives an example to illustrate its use. A comparison of performance between an RETE network and the MIE is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Consumption and Performance’s Library on DSPs: Case Study MPEG2Jalel Ktari, Mohamed Abid, Nathalie Julien, Johann LaurentThe growing demand for portable electronic devices has led to an increased emphasis on power consumption within the semiconductor industry. As a result, designers are now encouraged to consider the impact of their decisions not only on speed and area, but also on power throughout the design space exploration. This article presents a high-level design space exploration methodology. It allows … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Issues in Jordan, Solutions and RecommendationsNidal A. Hadadin, Zeyad S. TarawnehJordan’s natural resources are limited to support population in a sustainable manner. However, its environment is exposed to a number of threats. In order to best explain Jordan’s environmental difficulties, it would be prudent to focus individually on each of these major concerns: water shortages, agriculture/land and air pollution. This study focuses on the environmental problems in Jordan and has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 10,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOntoCell: An ontology of Cellular BiologyLynda DIB, Mohamed T. LaskriThis article presents OntoCell, a cellular ontology that we constructed and edited under Protege2000. It regroups and unifies the main concepts and relations related to the cell's structure and behavior. OntoCell has been validated by experts in biology (by the UMRS INSERM 514). Moreover, it will be validated in the context of the development of a multi-agent system simulating the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Analysis of an Absorption/Compression Refrigeration System Using Geothermal EnergyL. Kairouani, E. NehdiThis article presents the potential use and exploration of geothermal energy for cooling applications using a combined absorption/compression system. The considered system uses R134a for the compression part and the cool water-ammonia for the absorption part of the installation. The geothermal temperature source is in the range 343-349K, the condensation temperature is 308 K, and in order to produce ice, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas: A Review ArticleMutasem Abuhamed, Xiao Bo, Cai YanCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas (CNSTs), the most dangerous form of tubercolomas, remains a public health problem, particularly in the developing country. Central nervous system tuberculomas, either single or multiple, usually presents as a diagnostic challenge because it resembles many other infectious and non-infectious medical conditions, particularly in patients without constitutional symptoms or evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. Here … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
