Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKnowledge Based System for Visual Computing of Depth in 2D Images of Geometric Objects Like Straight Lines, Planes and Solids and their Applications in Engineering GraphicsM. Narayana Rao, V. VaithyaNathanAn attempt was made in this study, to develop a ”Knowledge Based System” for i)computing the depth (or the third dimension) of 3D objects, ii) computing the inclinations of 2D planes with predefined reference planes and iii) computing the inclinations of a straight line with predefined reference planes. The development of the proposed “Knowledge Based System” was based on the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Total Dissolved Solids on Aquatic Organisms: A Review of Literature and Recommendation for Salmonid SpeciesPhyllis K. Weber-Scannell, Lawrence K. DuffyTotal dissolves solids (TDS) are naturally present in water or are the result of mining or some industrial treatment of water. TDS contain minerals and organic molecules that provide benefits such as nutrients or contaminants such as toxic metals and organic pollutants. Current regulations require the periodic monitoring of TDS, which is a measurement of inorganic salts, organic matter and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 23,405 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePressure-sensitivity Effects on Toughness Measurements of Compact Tension Specimens for Strain-hardening SolidsAbdulhamid A. Al-AbduljabbarThe path-independent J-integral is used as a fracture prediction criterion for loading beyond the elastic limit as Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) cannot be applied. While J was originally defined from an energy perspective, it was demonstrated that it could be inferred from load-displacement diagrams. Therefore, the Compact Tension (CT) specimen testing is used to compute J for materials. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,657 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Diurnally Cyclic Temperature on the Performance of a Continuous Mix Anaerobic DigesterAbdel E. Ghaly, Mariam T. Al HattabProblem statement: Concentrated livestock production is a major contributor to environmental problems through the production of large quantity of husks on relatively small land area. Anaerobic digestion represents a valuable means of cover by these husks into methane while reducing manure pollution problems. Methodology: An experimental apparatus, including data acquisition and control system, was developed and used to investigate the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2012 · 9,226 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStatus of Water Quality Based on the Physico-Chemical Assessment on River Water at Wildlife Sanctuary Sibuti Mangrove Forest, Miri SarawakSeca Gandaseca, Noraini Rosli, Johin Ngayop, Chandra Iman AriantoProblem statement: Mangrove forest is a component of wetlands that has been recognized as one of the most productive ecosystem in the tropic. Rapid development and other land uses in the mangrove areas over the years had negatively affected the ecological functions and its ecosystem. Study was carried out on river water quality at Sibuti Wildlife Sanctuary, Miri based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 12 Jul 2011 · 9,962 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhysicochemical and Microbial Caracteristics Performency in Wastewater Treated Under Aerobic ReactorAsma Ben Rajeb, Hamadi Kallali, Neila Saidi et al.Problem statement: The current work study the efficiency of biological wastewater treatment by an aerobic reactor which could be used in small agglomerations. RBC reduced physicochemical and microbiological load of wastewater but values remain above Tunisian standard. Approach: Experiments were conducted on a sand filled PVC column fed with wastewater treated by Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) at a pulsed rhythm … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 6,676 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeographical Information System Techniques for Evaluation of Groundwater QualityShahram Ashraf, Hossein Afshari, Abdol Ghaffar EbadiProblem Statement: The present paper tries to assess groundwater suitability for irrigation purpose in Damghan plain (5400 ha). Approach: Twenty four water samples were collected from the active wells. Parameters such as Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), were recorded in the field and major anions and cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, CO32-, HCO3-, Cl-, SO42- and NO3-) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,123 accessesView PDF Cite
