Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeometry Modification of Flywheels and its Effect on Energy StorageShenel Bankston, Changki MoThis paper examines the influence of various geometric configurations of flywheels on kinetic energy storage performance using finite element analysis. Historically flywheels have been used in various applications. From such applications as pottery wheels to steam engines, flywheels have been used to store mechanical energy. Currently, in the ever expanding world of green energy development, flywheel energy storage systems provide … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Sep 2015 · 8,414 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Role of Electrical Pulse Shapes in Electrical and Optical Chromatic Dispersion CompensationMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Majid MoghaddasiProblem statement: The performance of the optical network is highly dependent to Chromatic Dispersion (CD). CD has been a big issue when higher bitrate or longer distance is desired. Many methods have been represented to mitigate or eliminate this phenomenon. A wide range of optical and electrical compensation has been investigated. Approach: In this study we evaluate the efficiency of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 25 Oct 2010 · 6,584 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Hierarchical Weibull model to Predict Failure Strength of Different Glass Edge ProfilesDavid Thomas Kinsella, Johan LindströmThe edge strength of glass is analyzed using a Weibull statistical framework based on 78 data samples from a range of experiments recorded in literature. Based on the analysis, a 45 MPa strength value (computed as the lower bound in a one-sided confidence interval at the 75% level for the 5-percentile in the distribution) could be conservatively used with arrised, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2020 · 8,274 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting CO2 Emissions Using Multivariate Regression: Assessing the Impact of Pandemics and Industrial RevolutionsYoussef Mekki, Chouaib Moujahdi, Noureddine Assad, Aziz DahbiThis paper explores the prediction of CO2 emissions usingMultivariate Regression models, incorporating the influence of significanthistorical events such as pandemics and industrial revolutions. Whileexisting research primarily focuses on carbon emissions alone in forecastingmodels, this study emphasizes the importance of incorporating multiplefactors for a comprehensive understanding of CO2 dynamics. Beyondemissions, factors such as socioeconomic indicators, industrial activities,environmental policies, and historical events … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 7 · 23 Jul 2025 · 3,426 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of the Transportation System and City Configuration on Sustainable Urbanization (Al-Bayda City as a Case Study)Aisha Bakar, Ashraf Fadiel, Taher Abu-LebdehDespite the persistent attempts on a global level to adopt sustainability in every aspect of city planning, the complex nature of city components and the presence of many factors and variables that affect the growth and development of cities make the adoption of a specific trend not an easy matter. It may be more appropriate to identify some important elements … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 19 Mar 2024 · 5,278 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Semantic Web Retrieval Through Ontology-Driven Feature Extraction: A Novel PropositionMeer Hazar Khan, Muhammad Imran Sharif, Mehwish Mehmood et al.Web images represent unstructured data sets which often lead to challenges when users try to locate distinct images via text-based searches on the web. Such difficulties stem from different factors, e.g., redundant image storage, irrelevant metadata tags, and incorrect associations. To overcome this issue, we propose a semantic model based on the ontology language that enables users to find images … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2024 · 5,562 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomimetic and Evolutionary Design Driven Innovation in Sustainable Products DevelopmentRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaAn innovative, design-driven, sustainable approach in conceiving, developing, producing, using new materials can be effective in strengthening the competiveness and success of creative industries linked to manufacturing (e.g., biomedical, architecture, automotive, art, crafts, supports for cultural items, decoration, fashion, furniture, lighting, interior design materials and products, jewels, luxury, media supports, publishing, sport and toys), adding value to products and processes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2016 · 9,880 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Machine Vision Inspection on Printed Circuit Boards Flux DefectsAng TeohOng, Zulkifilie Bin Ibrahim, Suzaimah RamliThe new visual inspection systems techniques using real time machine vision replace the human visual manual inspection on PCB flux defects, which brings harmful effects on the board which may come in the form of corrosion and can cause harm to the assembly. In short, it brings improvement in Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) production quality, principally concerning the acceptance or … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,955 accessesView PDF Cite
