Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Functionality of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor Compared to that of Foil GaugeBashir Ahmed Tahir, Jalil Ali, Rosly Abdul RahmanTechnology such as Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are widely accepted in almost all industries. FBG are being investigated for their applicability in other markets such as smart structures. Fiber optic sensors can also be used in many different applications. Fiber optic sensors are available in several types; among them, the Bragg grating sensor is being studied in this research. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations in Natural Resources Management Extension (Case Study in Iran)Iraj M. Mohammadi, Mehrdad MirbodThis study describes the emergence, development and functions of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (ENGO) and addresses their role and impact in Natural Resources Management Extension (NRME) in Iran. The study also attempts to describe the collaboration and support of government organizations managing natural resources, mainly National Forest and Pasture Organization (NFPO) and Environmental Conservation Organization (ECO) and locally based ENGOs in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Architecture for Improving Location Management in PCS NetworksHaidar Safa, Samuel PierreThis study proposes a new architecture for improving the location management in PCS networks. The proposed architecture employs several HLRs as opposed to one HLR in the IS-41 and GSM models. Indeed, the new architecture associates with each MU two types of HLRs ; a resident HLR that serves the location areas in which the MU often resides and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Flow Energy Dissipation over Different Stepped SpillwaysG. A. Barani, M. B. Rahnama, N. SohrabipoorIn this study, to investigate energy dissipation of flow overstepped spillways of different step shapes, a physical wooden model has been built in the Shahid Bahonar University’s hydraulics lab. This model with 41.41° slope has 84 cm height and 21 steps. Each step has 4 cm height, 4.5 cm width and 30 cm length. Experiments have been carried out for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
