Letter to the EditorOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiscussion on Google Earth Pro SoftwarePedram Jafari ShalkouhiGoogle Earth is a free-of-charge geographic browser that gains images from satellites, the atmosphere, the ocean, and other graphical data by means of the internet. The present letter shows that Google Earth Pro which is known as an updated version of Google Earth cannot present enough information to users. In other words, images provided by Google Earth are more original … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2024 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstablishment of Readily Mathematical Formulation for the Evaluation of Slope Stability in Earth-Fill DamsSalah Saleh, Majda Ibobakr Almhdi AmerThe assessment of slope stability has been considered to be one of the most common issues to deal with by geotechnical engineers. This is due to the amount of destruction that can be brought up by the slope failure of soil masses to roads, railways, and earth dams, for example. Therefore, the stability of soil mass slopes must be carefully … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2023 · 5,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWettability and Interfacial Tension Alteration of Rare-Earth Doped Yttrium Iron Garnet under Influence of Electromagnetic WavesLau Zhen Yin, Lee Kean Chuan, Beh Hoe Guan et al.Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) doped with rare-earth elements have shown to alter the magnetic properties of garnet nanoparticles (NPs), which is believed to have direct influence on the wettability, interfacial tension and viscosity alteration of garnet nanofluids. In this study, Y2.8R0.2Fe5O12 (R = Lanthanum (La), Neodymium (Nd) and Samarium (Sm)) NPs were synthesized by using the sol gel auto-combustion method … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 25 Jul 2019 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA General Strategy to Enhance Upconversion luminescence in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Oxide NanocrystalsGuanying Chen, Lei XuWe report a general strategy to enhance upconversion luminescence from rare-earth-doped oxide nanocrystals through tailoring the local crystal filed around rare earth ions. We show that upconversion luminescence from oxide nanocrystals of various host lattice (Y2O3, Gd2O3 and ZnO) and of diverse rare-earth-ions (such as Er3+, Yb3+/Er3+, Yb3+/Ho3+ and Yb3+/Tm3+) was enhanced by orders of magnitude through an introduction of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRare Earth Elements and Geochemical Partitioning of Zn and Pb in Sediments of an Urban RiverShaila Sharmin, H. M. Zakir, Naotatsu ShikazonoProblem statement: Urban river sediment pollution due to Zn and Pb is a serious problem in all over the world. The source and level of Zn and Pb pollution in sediments of Nomi River of Ota Ward, one of the most industrialized areas in Tokyo, Japan is still lacking. Approach: The present study focused on Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCorrelation Between Steady State and Impulse Earth Resistance ValuesN. Mohamad Nor, R. RajabThis study presented experimental results of earthing systems under low-magnitude currents and under high impulse currents. The details of the measuring circuit involved for both types of testing were described. Three field sites were selected. At each site, three earth electrodes configurations were used. This makes up to nine earthing systems. From both low magnitude and impulse tests, the correlation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigations of Two-Layer Earth Parameters at Low Voltage: Measurements and CalculationsRamdan E. Rajab, N. Mohamad Nor, K. RamarProblem statement: The two-layer soil model at low magnitude voltage is assumed to be accurate for the measurement and calculation of the earth resistance of a combined grid-multiple rods electrode. The aim of this study is to measure and calculate the earth resistance of a combined grid-multiple rods electrode buried in a two-layer soil and to confirm the simplicity and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEngineering Properties of Locally Manufactured Burnt Brick Pavers for Agrarian and Rural Earth RoadsEmmanuel Akintunde OkunadeThis study explored the possibility of employing burnt bricks produced locally by completely traditional methods as pavers on unpaved agrarian and rural earth roads in indigent communities. The pavers would eliminate the problems on such roads of being waterlogged and impassible during the rainy season months and those of environmental and health hazards from raised dust during the dry season … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
