This paper presents a temperature compensation voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on Cross-Coupled pair and Colpitts structures which is suitable for military fields. Also, two inductors have been used for increasing ...

This paper introduces a peculiar approach of designing Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) memory cell in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technique. The proposed design consists of one 3-input MG, one 5-input MG in ...

The major decision in construction process involves the selection of suitable site with best soil conditions, as structure resides in the soil. Most problematic soils like expansive soils hardly proved to be the best ...

Filtration of the drilling mud is one of it's most important parameters, especially when drilling-in producing formation. Decrease of filtration characteristics allows reducing both solid and liquid phases's penetration ...

In this paper, the use of gasoline combinations with ethanol and nano oxide particles has been studied in gasoline-based SI EF7 engines. The mixtures are prepared in five emulsions of gasoline with 10% ethanol, gasoline ...

The increase of shear strength in soil, reinforced with the geogrid (alternate reinforcer), is resulted from an increase of modulus of soil hardness, and also from the tensile strength of reinnforcer. The shear ...

The performances of cementitious materials as well as the efficiency of construction are adversely affected at high temperatures. Previous studies have already demonstrated that ultra-fine (alccofine) material accelerates ...

Makassar is one of the metropolitan cities located in Indonesia which recently experiences massive an increased construction because of population growth. Mapping the spatial distribution and development of the built-up ...

In this study, fuzzy logic was implemented to formulate the fuzziness of layer boundaries for a two-layered clay soil. A field of two-layered clay with fuzzy boundaries between layers was generated, and then the bearing ...

In this paper, for the first time, the subject of change point estimation has been utilized in the stationary state of auto regressive moving average (ARMA) (1, 1). In the monitoring phase, in case the features of the ...

The desired gap headway of drivers, while close following, represents the main parameter in determining the following distance between vehicles.  This paper uses the raw individual vehicles data taken from loop detectors ...

This paper analyzes an induction motor with high temperature superconducter (HTS) coated slotted solid rotor. By slotting the solid rotor, the electromagnetic torque near synchronous speed will increase but the starting ...

In this paper, an interval-valued Pythagorean triangular fuzzy number (IVPTFN) as a useful tool to handle decision-making problems with vague quantities is defined. Then, their operational laws are developed. By introducing ...

A special sensitive element based on the novel composite material was created. The sensor has a linear calibration and is resistant to aliphatic hydrocarbons, in particular aviation fuel. A low cost and easy-to-implement ...

This study presents a modified transient current limiter (MTCL) for mitigation the inrush current of transformers. The MTCL is based on conventional transient current limiter (TCL), which, its configuration is modified to ...

During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) cause many significant ecological problems because of their low degradability, high harmfulness, and solid bioaccumulation.Two bacterial strains were isolated from soil that had been polluted ...

This paper summarises the impact of major earthquakes, 2010–2011, on Christchurch's water supply network and what recovery measures have been applied, what worked well, what did not and why. A number of issues related to ...
