Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of the Interaction between the Lining of a TBM Tunnel and the Ground Using the Convergence-Confinement MethodPierpaolo OresteThe support used when a tunnel is excavated by a shielded TBM is complex because it consists of two different materials: A concrete segmental lining and a filler annulus between the lining and the tunnel wall. A detailed analysis of the behavior of such a support system requires a three-dimensional numerical modeling and should also consider the presence of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2015 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Wear of Tunnel Boring Machine Excavation Tools in RockClaudio Oggeri, Pierpaolo OresteSome of the most important aspects in the study of the fragmentation of rock due to the action of TBM disks concern the abrasiveness of the rock and the wear of the tools. The wear of the disks in fact means that they have to be substituted, with consequent effects on the efficiency of the excavation, on the speed of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Aug 2012 · 7,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Some Fermentation Parameters on Ethanol Production from Beet Molasses by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAIM13Awatif Abid Al-JudaibiProblem Statement: Some component of fermentation medium showed to reduce the Saccharomyces cerivisae production of ethanol. Approach: This study was designed to evaluate the role of some fermentation parameters in affecting ethanol productivity from beet molasses BM by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAIM13. Results: Increase in cell concentration (inoculums size) of the yeast above 3.6×105 cells/100 mL decreased the ethanol yield. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2011 · 8,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of the Tunnel Boring Machine Advancement on the Bologna-Florence Railway LinkM. Cardu, P. Oreste, T. CicalaProblem statement: The high-velocity railway link between Bologna and Firenze (Italy) is today under construction and several tunnels have to be excavated for this purpose, some of these using TBMs. A small diameter tunnel, named Cunicolo ginori, was realized by TBM parallel to a large railway tunnel (Vaglia), at the distance of only 35 m. Approach: The Vaglia tunnel had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Tunnel Boring Machine Advancements in Horizontal and Up-Hill TunnelsStefano Fuoco, Pierpaolo OresteProblem statement: Nowadays high levels of experience have been acquired in the excavation of horizontal tunnels using TBM, especially as far as tunnels with small diameters (about 4 m wide) are concerned. Less experience has been acquired in the excavation of tunnels under difficult alignment conditions, as in the case of steeply inclined excavations (up-hill tunnels). Approach: This study presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywords3D Modelling for Mechanized Tunnelling in Soft Ground-Influence of the Constitutive ModelNgoc-Anh Do, Daniel Dias, Pierpaolo Oreste, Irini Djeran-MaigreThe main purpose of this study was to provide a three-dimensional numerical model which would allow to show the influence of the constitutive model of the ground on the tunnel lining behaviour and displacement field surrounding the tunnel. Most of the processes that occur during mechanized excavation have been simulated in this model. Besides the well-known elastic linear perfectly plastic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 8,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%. To control the loading and release properties of PVA hydrogel microspheres, a small amount … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 13 Jul 2019 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Applied Study on the Debris Recycling in TunnellingPierpaolo Oreste, Marta CastellanoProblem statement: A simple calculation has shown what the impact of muck created during the construction of a hypothetical 50 km long and 100 m2 cross section tunnel could be on the environment: around 8 million cubic meters would have to be discharged as waste material. One solution to such a problem could be to recycle (almost a part) the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2012 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Maintenance Performance of the Semiconductor Factories Based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process and Grey Relational AnalysisFei-Long Chen, Yun-Chin ChenProblem statement: Maintenance is an important factor in semiconductor factories, not only because of costs and the need for the uninterrupted operation of semiconductor equipment, but also the time and expense required for maintenance. If maintenance procedures are not performed properly, the equipment will have low efficiency or break down, production capacity will decrease and the company will incur extra … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA User-Driven Association Rule Mining Based on Templates for Multi-Relational DataCarlos Roberto Valêncio, Guilherme Henrique Morais, Márcio Zamboti Fortes et al.Data mining algorithms to find association rules are an important tool to extract knowledge from databases. However, these algorithms produce an enormous amount of rules, many of which could be redundant or irrelevant for a specific decision-making process. Also, the use of previous knowledge and hypothesis are not considered by these algorithms. On the other hand, most existing data mining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2018 · 7,442 accessesView PDFCite
