The Study Based on Collapsible Soils and Their Collapse Potentials in Semnan Desert Area in Iran[ ]


Collapsible-soils are numbered among problematic soils in nature that under similar tension and by increasing the ratio of humidity show very high amount of volume shortage. This volume shortage causes smashes in soil’s structure and finally causes considerable settlements. The existence of these kinds of soils necessitates more and more consideration and examination of Collapsible-soils behaviors and properties. It’s obvious that without considering the Collapsible-soils properties before they are under construction, it can cause irreparable damages. In present research in order to recognition of Collapsible-soils in Semnan deserted province and examination of their collapse potential, 32 points with fine grains soil layers and Aeolian soil have been studied and the relation between the factors in Collapse such as the ratio of humidity and Dry specific weight and so on, with the amount of collapse potential have been studied. In order to evaluate the collapse potential, after the classification of the provided samples of studied points Double consolidated test have been done on undisturbed samples. The results of the tests that have been done, indicate that the samples which belong to 20 points that nearly 85% of them are ML and CL-ML, have got Collapse potential with weak to hard ratio. According to research achievements the majority part of Collapsible soils are located and accumulated in south west of Semnan province.

A New Multilayer Perceptron Model to Detect Heart Disease Severity[ ]


With the recent outbound spread of chronicle heart diseases across the world, gender and age, the medical practitioners are focusing on preventive measures rather than curing methods. Thus the modern research trends are bound to provide the preventive extension to the medical science. Although the medical practices can generate gigantic amount of relevant data pertaining to the diseases, however the medical science fail to deploy any technique to mine the data for predictive models. Thus the data mining and predictive models are the most suitable way to provide the necessary tools for predictive analysis. Hence this work deploys a multilayer perceptron model for predictive detection of heart disease severity based on various parameters. The deployed multi-layered perception uses the back-propagation for optimal supervised learning. The work also deploys a novel principle attribute analysis to understand the orientation of the attributes affecting the results. The final outcome of this work is to analyse the Heart Disease Severity based on proposed multilayer perceptron model.

Modeling and Control of Parallel Inverters in a Microgrid[ ]


Nowadays, more and more distributed generation and renewable energy sources are connected to the public grid via power electronics, forming a microgrid. The frequency and voltage in a microgrid should be maintained within the predefined limits thereby enabling proper real and reactive power sharing according to load changes. Inverters are frequently employed as interfaces of distributed power sources to loads. The dynamic response of inverter interfaced DGs, such as PVs, fuel cells and batteries are noninertial and are faster compared to inertial DGs. This mismatch in response rate can create power and frequency fluctuations. Therefore, the control and power management strategies are vital for an islanded microgrid with different types of DGs. The most common method of local load sharing is the droop control. This control strategy based on frequency and voltage droop method avoids critical communications among distributed generation units (DGs). The microgrid is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink environment and the voltage and frequency droop control is applied to the model and performance of the droop control strategy is verified. This paper focuses on modeling and control of parallel inverters operating in various conditions.

TURBOCHARGER SELECTION AND MATCHING CRITERIA IN A HEAVY DUTY DIESEL ENGINE[ ]


A turbocharger is certainly one of the fundamental devices being employed to enhance output power of petrol and/or diesel and is of paramount importance for use in heavy duty diesel engines.This work aims to increase the power of a six- cylinder turbocharged, four stroke, direct injection heavy duty diesel engine via replacing its fitted turbocharger with a properly selected and matched one. The matching criteria and the effect of intercooler presence are studied. A performance prediction model for turbocharged engine is created to investigate the engine-turbocharger matching. To address this, a program code has been upgraded and modified to select the suitable engine turbocharger using FORTRAN PowerStation 5.0 language. The study includes also an experimental part; where three types of turbochargers, (namely HX80, HB3 and HX40) are tested. The P-Ф diagram, the engine performance parameters together with the exhaust and soot emissions are measured and compared for the cases of original and best turbocharger (HX80). The developed computer algorithm appears to provide results that are in good agreement, within acurcey of + 5%, with the measured data; a fact that encourages designers to trustly use it in their selection and matching of a turbocharger to diesel engines.

Comparison of Technical Efficiency of Dense Wavelength Division Multip-lexing Channels Using Constant and Variable Return to Scale Models[ ]


The Technical Efficiency (TE) of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) channels implemented in the metropolitan area network for the purpose of deploying higher bit rates have been neglected and this pause a great challenges. Recent researches conducted on DWDM concentrated largely on the effectiveness of the DWDM channels and not on its performance efficiency. In this paper, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed to determine and compare the TE of DWDM channels by input oriented as-sumption using Constant Return to Scale (CRS) and Variable Return to Scale (VRS) models. The simulation results obtained show that CRS model has better performance at the multiplexer than the VRS model and vice versa when considered at the de-multiplexer.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT DURING ECONOMIC CRISIS[ ]


There is great possibility of economic recession in globalized world today that may lead to crises and thereby affect construction companies in time gradually. These events may occur suddenly or after a long process. Process-based crises usually send early warning signals, and construction companies that can catch these signals can prepare against the forthcoming crises. One of the most important processes in crisis management is to establish an early warning system. This provides some time to take the required precautions against potential crises. After catching early warning signals, construction companies that can successfully manage crises inform their personnel about approaching crisis to prepare, organize a crisis team before the crisis, and perform an effective struggle during the crisis. Construction companies, which can survive in a crisis, may evaluate opportunities of the crisis and start to make recovery studies after the crisis to turn to their former positions. If a construction company estimates a crisis well and executes crisis management efficiently, they can overcome crises with zero or minimal damage.

Energy Use in Nepalese Cement Industries: Case of Udayapur Cement Industries Limited[ ]


Infrastructure development and rapid urbanization all over the world make cement industries one of the fastest growing industries. Cement industries are energy intensive, and they contribute significantly to national employment and gross domestic production. In Nepal, 77 cement industries are registered so far, making cement one of the most important sectors for Nepalese economy. This work reviews the history, current technological status, energy consumption pattern, environmental impacts, and economic impacts of cement industries in Nepal and compares the energy consumption in Nepalese cement industries with the rest of the world. Udayapur Cement Industries Limited (UCIL), a government owned cement plant with a design capacity of 800 tpd is taken as a case study. UCIL’s data of energy consumption, production, and maintenance practices are studied and compared with national standards and foreign countries standards. The average specific energy consumption of Nepalese cement industries is higher than that of most other countries and utilization factor is very low. Similarly, specific energy consumption of UCIL is 2 – 3 times higher than national standard, because of poor maintenance management, lack of monitoring and evaluation, and absence of energy management system. Capacity utilization factor of UCIL is 36.3 % in average. To improve the capacity utilization factor and reduce specific energy consumption, energy efficient technologies should be adopted, automation technology should be upgraded, proper maintenance should be practiced, and regular monitoring and evaluation should be performed.

Enhancement of Precise Point Positioning Using GPS Single Frequency Data[ ]


Global Positioning System (GPS) is one of the most essential tools in many engineering applications, and is rapidly replacing traditional surveying techniques. It is very important to get the position using GPS with high possible accuracy whileconsidering cost, effort and time. Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a technique that depends on data of a single receiver and GNSS preciseproducts to decrease different types of errors to improve the positional accuracy and to overcome the limitations of relative techniques. This has been used recently as a suitable technique for many applications having the excellence of obtaining precise location using only a single receiver. On the other side, the technique needs scientific software or online services to reach the prospective precision. PPP precision depends on different parameters such as session length, mask angle, used frequencies …etc.

Design of Robotic Architecture With Brain Mapped Wheelchair for Intelligent System Control: A State of Art [ ]


Independent mobility is core to being able to per-form activities of daily living by oneself. However, powered wheelchairs are not an option for a large number of people who are unable to use conventional interfaces, due to severe motor–disabilities. For some of these people, non–invasive brain– computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a promising solution to this interaction problem and in this article we present a shared control architecture that couples the intelligence and desires of the user with the precision of a powered wheelchair. We show how four healthy subjects are able to master control of the wheelchair using an asynchronous motor–imagery based BCI protocol and how this results in a higher overall task performance, compared with alternative synchronous P300–based approaches.

Optimal Placement of Capacitor by Using PSO With Considering Harmonics in Distribution Systems[ ]


This paper presents a new approach in order to determine the optimal placement of capacitor in radial distribution system. The capacitor placement is done by considering parameters like Loss sensitivity factor and better Voltage profile. The power loss is significantly high in distribution systems because of lower voltages and higher currents. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used for determination of the location system capacitor placement. In the proposed algorithm depending upon loss sensitivity factor, number of iteration required for deriving better volage profile is possible to reduce.For, 25-bus three phase unbalanced and balanced system is considered for capacitive compensation. Three phase load flow solution is obtained by using topology based load flow program in MATLAB environment and time required, accuracy has been found satisfying.

EFFECT OF HOT ROLLING ON RECRYSTALLISATION BEHAVIOUR OF FERRITIC STAINLESS STEEL TYPE 409[ ]


The behavior of the static recrystallization of this ferritic stainless steel type 409 which contains precipitates was examined using hot rolling test of a single pass. Hot rolling tests were carried out at temperature of 870°C from a thickness of 15mm to 8,4mm and 4,7mm thickness at a controled strain rate of 3.3s-1. The recrystallized volume increases with the increase of the reduction and the holding time after hot rolling. Nucleation of recrystallising grains appears to be associated with triple points and grain boundaries. This material displays a slower rate of recrystallisation and this is attributed to the presence of titanium.

This study was carried out to determine the genetic diversity that exists between three indigenous goat breeds in Nigeria. Thyroid Hormone Responsive Spot 14 Alpha Gene (THRSPα) was used to determine the diversity that existed. A total of 83 goats were sampled. Four (4) ml blood sample were collected from each goat into a 5ml Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic (EDTA) bottles and were stored at -4°C for DNA extraction. The genetic distance between Sahel vs. Red Sokoto was 0.0131; Sahel vs. WAD Goat is 0.0146 while that of Red Sokoto vs. WAD Goat is 0.0561. The genetic identity between Sahel vs. Red Sokoto was 0.987, Sahel vs. WAD is 0.9855 while Red Sokoto vs. WAD Goat is 0.9454. The Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium, the number of genotype observed and expected for genotype AA was 9 and 11.4083, 9 and 8.4706 and 2 and 4.7647 for Sahel, Red Sokoto and WAD Goat respectively. The genotype AB had an observed and expected genotype of 19 and 14.1833, 6 and 7.0588 and 14 and 8.4706 for Sahel, Red Sokoto and WAD Goat each. Whole for genotype BB, the values were 2 and 4.4083, 2 and 1.4706 and 1and 3.7646 for Sahel, Red Sokoto and. WAD Goat respectively. The Exact Probability across breed was 0.1219 for Sahel, 0.5729 for Red Sokoto and 0.0173 for WAD Goat. In conclusion, the result shows a higher identity rather than diversity which is an indication that there could be a MIXED breeding among these breeds. This result however gives a clearer understanding of the genetic constituent of these breeds that will help in formulating better policies for conservation and improvement of these breeds.

An overview of the intellectual capital of the organization[ ]


Although the literature highlights the contribution of different marketing assets to firm performance, it is still far from reaching a consolidated and exhaustive position on this topic. In that respect, this paper proposes an analysis of the intellectual capital within new business ventures. In this sense, intellectual capital (IC), or knowledge assets, as the fourth factor of production, is replacing the other ones job, land and capital. Businesses with ethical values at the core reinforce ethical conducts and successfully build trust with their various stakeholders, leading to the formation of an ethical and trustworthy corporate culture and a positive corporate environment. Thus, in this reasoning, an ethical approach to business can encourage open communication, problems solving, knowledge sharing and creativity among employees to increase organisational capital; enhance interactions and relationships with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to increase social capital; attract and retain good talent to increase human capital. The results indicate that firms with higher business ethics have increased intellectual capital.
