Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of the Upland Weed Control Potentiality of Green Tea Waste-Rice Bran Compost and Its Effect on Spinach GrowthM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.This study evaluated the upland weed control potentiality, germination inhibition ability and growth suppression efficiency of the five combinations of green tea waste - rice bran compost (GRC). GRC was prepared by mixing green tea waste and rice bran at five ratios, and allowed to decompose for 5 mo. Application of GRC suppressed weed growth up to 93.4% in number … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,203 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Reduced Finite Element Model for Analyzing the Transverse Shear Stiffness of Truss-Like Core Sandwich BeamSuphattharachai Chomphan, Manit LeekitwattanaProblem statement: In structural analysis using finite element software, a number of finite element equations affect the speed of calculation time. A reduced finite element model should be used for analyzing structural responses to reduce the calculation time. Approach: This study presents the analysis of transverse shear stiffness of truss-like core sandwich beam using the reduced finite element model based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,589 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Multi-Layered Laminated Glass Beams in Lateral-Torsional BucklingGabriel Neves Alves FerreiraThis article proposes a methodology for the structural design of multi-layered glass beams considering lateral-torsional buckling. The basis is the use of two separate effective thicknesses to determine flexural and torsional rigidities, based respectively on the Enhanced Effective Thickness (EET) and sandwich theory. Analytical formulae are then used to calculate the elastic critical bending moment and a design curve is … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Oct 2022 · 9,804 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Study of the Stress Response of Bi-Directional Corrugated-Strip Core Sandwich BeamSuphattharachai Chomphan, Manit LeekitwattanaProblem statement: In engineering design, stress affects the size of structural member. A suitable topology of structure should be designed to optimize the stress. Approach: This study presents an alternative topology of truss-like core sandwich beam referred to here as bi-directional corrugated-strip core topology. A finite element method is used to study the stress response of three point loaded truss-like … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 7,060 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Performance of the Peer to Peer Network by Introducing an Assortment of MethodsM. Sadish Sendil, N. NagarajanProblem Statement: Peer to Peer (P2P) systems have grown dramatically in recent years. The most popular type of P2P systems are file sharing networks, which are used to share various types of content over the Internet. Due to the increase in popularity of P2P systems, the network performance of these systems has become a very important issue in the design … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2010 · 7,298 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroelectrical Mechanical Systems Switch for Designing Multi-Band AntennaA.H.M. Zahirul Alam, Md. Rafiqul Islam, Sheroz Khan, Muhammad Mahbubur RashidProblem statement: In this study Microelectrical Mechanical System (MEMS) switches were proposed to design a reconfigurable/multi-band antenna to replaced PIN diode switches or semiconductor switches due to lower insertion losses, good isolation, much lower intermodulation distortion, and lower power consumption. The antenna is able to operate at very high frequencies. Approach: A reconfigurable antenna that is capable to operate at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,687 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing P300 Component by Spectral Power Ratio Principal Components for a Single Trial Brain-Computer InterfaceS. Andrews, Ramaswamy Palaniappan, Andrew Teoh, Loo chu KiongHere we present a novel approach to detect P300 wave in single trial Visual Event Related Potential (VERP) signals using improved principal component analysis to enable a faster brain-computer interface (BCI) design. In the process, the principal components (PCs) are selected using novel methods, namely spectral power ratio (SPR) and sandwich spectral power ratio (SSPR). We set out to assess … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,881 accessesView PDF Cite
