CFD tools are extensively used to reveal details about invisible in-cylinder processes of diesel combustion so that guidance can be provided to improve engine designs in terms of emissions reduction and fuel economy. Innovative combustion concepts can be evaluated numerically prior to experimental tests to reduce the number of investigated parameters. In this present work, reacting flow simulations were performed in a single cylinder direct injection diesel engine with an improved version of the ECFM-3Z (extended coherent flame model – 3 Zones) model using ES-ICE and STAR-CD codes. Combustion and emission characteristics are studied in a sector of engine cylinder, which eliminates the tedious experimental task with conservation in resources and time. The pressure variations during motoring and firing conditions, temperature and heat release graphs with respect to crank angle are plotted. Mass fractions contours of CO, NO, soot and fuel (C1226) and mixture density contours at TDC are plotted. It is found that higher NOx emissions occur at peak temperatures while soot and CO emissions occur at peak pressures. <#LINE#> @ @ Stiesch G., Modeling engine spray and combustion processes, Springer Publications, 101-271 (2003) @No $ @ @ Kimura S., Aoki O., Kitahara Y. and Aiyoshizawa E., Ultra-clean combustion technology combining a low-temperature and premixed combustion concept for meeting future emission standards, SAE paper 2001-01-0200(2001) @No $ @ @ Park S.W. and Reitz R.D., Numerical study on the low emission window of homogeneous charge compression ignition diesel combustion, Combust Sci.

<#LINE#>Pareto Optimization of Vehicle Suspension Vibration for a Nonlinear Half-car Model Using a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm<#LINE#>Sharifi@M.,B.@Shahriari<#LINE#>17-22<#LINE#>3.ISCA-RJRS-2012-168.pdf<#LINE#>Mechanical Engineering, Guilan University, Rasht, IRAN @ Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Malek Ashtar University of Technology, Shahin Shahr, IRAN<#LINE#>7/4/2012<#LINE#>16/4/2012<#LINE#>  In this paper, multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is used for Pareto optimization of a four degree of freedom vehicle vibration model. Vehicle suspension design must fulfill some conflicting criteria. Among those is ride comfort which is attained by reducing the sprung mass accelerations via suspension spring and damper. Moreover, good handling or road holding capability of a vehicle which is attained by minimize front and rear suspension deflection is a desirable property which requires stiff suspension and therefore is in contrast with a vehicle with ride comfort. Therefore, Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is used for Pareto approach optimization of passive suspension system. The important conflicting objectives that have been considered in this work are, ride comfort and handling performance. Moreover, this approach returns the optimum answers in Pareto form that designer can, by making trade-offs, select desired answer. Finally, the simulation result shows that optimization of suspension settings will improve ride comfort and road holding capability simultaneously <#LINE#> @ @ Rajeswari K. and Lakshmi P., GA Tuned distance based fuzzy sliding mode controller for vehicle suspension systems, International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 5(1), 36-47 (2008) @No $ @ @ Krishan K. and Aggarwal M.L. , A Finite Element Approach for Analysis of a Multi Leaf Spring using CAE Tools, Res.

The study was conducted with the aid of questionnaires, administered to 120 respondents made up of 40 processors, 40 retailers and 40 customers selected from five (5) markets in and around Ekpoma. The results showed that catfish processing and retailing business in the area were by women (100%), majority of whom are married, with no formal education. It was further shown that the dominant processing method is the traditional hot smoking, in cut-out oil drums (kilns), with smoking duration lasting 2-3 hours. Sales and consumers’ preference for smoked catfish were rated high and profitable due to products taste, flavour, and protein value. Finally, the study revealed the existence of a thriving profitable small-scale traditional smoked catfish (Heterobranchus and Clarias spp.) processing, distribution and retailing business in the study area; identified the major constraints in the business and suggested solutions to ameliorate the situation.  <#LINE#> @ @ Okonta A.A. and Ekelemu J.K., A preliminary study of micro-organisms associated with fish spoilage in Asaba, Southern Nigeria, Proceedings of the Annual Conference of Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON), Port Harcourt, 14- 18th November, 557 – 560 (2005) @No $ @ @ Clucas I.J. and Ward A.R., Post harvest fisheries development: A guide to Handling, Preservation, Processing and Quality, National Resources Institute, Central Avenue, Chathan Maritime, UK, 145 (1996) @No $ @ @ Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), The prevention of losses in cured fish, FAO Fish.

In this sense, it is of vital importance to apprehend the nature of science; that is, to understand what scientific knowledge is, what it involves, and how it evolves. Professional competency of science and technology teachers, who have an essential role in teaching the nature of science, is also very important. Considering the fact that pre-service science teachers’ will teach science and technology course in future, an analysis of their knowledge and their view on the nature of science becomes significant. For this purpose it was aimed to determine pre-service science teachers’ views on the nature of science. Descriptive research methodology was used in this research. Research data was collected through the “Views on Science and Education Questionnaire (VOSE)”, which was developed by Chen. The questionnaire was translated into Turkish by researchers, and its reliability and validity tests were conducted. The sample of the study is composed of 237 students, who are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year science education students, studying at Giresun and Krkkale Universities.  The study revealed that views on the nature of science do not change according to the class level, and students have certain insufficiencies to understand the dimensions of nature of science.  <#LINE#> @ @ Çepni S., Kuramdan Uygulamaya Fen ve Teknoloji retimi, Pegem Akademi, Ankara (2005) @No $ @ @ Ertürk S., Diktac Tutum ve Demokrasi, Yelkentepe Yaynlar: Ankara, 59, (1969) @No $ @ @ Bayrakçeken S. and Çelik S.

Even though, the random sampling method is used, no attention is given to sampling time interval and therefore to find out whether the process is in control, the whole process (population) should be examined in all different time intervals. This leads to a considerable increase in quality control cost.  In this paper, the attention is given by differentiating sampling time interval and the possibility of detecting trouble areas, therefore would increase. In this way, finding out trouble areas would be easier which leads to a decrease in quality control cost. <#LINE#> @ @ Ou Y., Wen D., Wu Z. and KhooStudy on Effectiveness and Robustness of Control Charts for Monitoring Process Mean and Variance, Engng.

The buckling loads are obtained from finite element models. Experiments are conducted on several Specimens made of stainless steel 316ti by using an INSTRON 8802 servo-hydraulic machine. Then results are compared. A very good correlation was observed between numerical simulation and experimental results. Investigations on buckling and post-buckling behavior of cylindrical shells with cutout were carried out for shell length (L), shell diameter (D) and cutout position (CP/L ratio). The specimens were constrained by fixtures that design for this result and inserted at both ends, which mimics the fixed boundary condition used in the finite element simulations. <#LINE#> @ @ Hodge P.G., Plastic analysis of structures, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, (1959) @No $ @ @ Hodge PG, Limit analysis of rotationally symmetric plates and shells, Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall Inc (1963) @No $ @ @ Van Dyke P, Stresses about a circular hole in a cylindrical shell, AIAA J, 3(9), 1733–42 (1963) @No $ @ @ El Naschie M.S., A branching solution for the local buckling of a circumferentially notched cylindrical shells, International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 16, 689–697 (1974) @No $ @ @ Brogan A. and Almroth BO., Buckling of cylinders with cutouts, AIAA J, 8(2), 236–41 (1970) @No $ @ @ Robinson M., A comparison of yield surfaces for thin shells, Int J Mech Sci, 13, 345–54 (1971) @No $ @ @ Tafreshi A., Buckling and post buckling analysis of composite cylindrical shells with cutout subjected to internal pressure and axial compression load, Int J Pressure Vesssel Piping, 79, 351–9 (2002) @No $ @ @ Shariati M. and Rokhi M.M., Buckling of Steel Cylindrical Shells with an Elliptical Cutout.

However, the applicability of this Phillips and Van Vechten (PV) dielectric analysis has been limited to only the simple A8-N compounds, which contain only one type of bond. Levine has extended the theory of PV to multi bond and complex crystals. Levine’s theory of ionicity has been used to calculate the various bond parameters for the chalcopyrites. In this paper a simple method based on the high frequency dielectric constants of solids, is proposed for the calculation of crystal ionicity (f) of chalcopyrite (AIIIVI and AIIIV) semiconductors. Our evaluated values are in excellent agreement with the values reported by different researchers. <#LINE#> @ @ Merad A.E., Kanoun M.B., Merad G., Cibert J. and Aourag H., Full-potential investigation of the electronic and optical properties of stressed CdTe and ZnTe, Materials Chemistry and Physics, 92, 333-339 (2005) @No $ @ @ Wang S.Q. and Ye H.Q., A plane-wave pseudopotential study on III–V zinc-blende and wurtzite semiconductors under pressure, J.

If long-term variations of cyclonic storm frequency are properly documented then the epochs of higher and lower frequencies could be foreshadowed much in advance. Ozone has been found to be one of the most important radiative gases in the stratosphere and the upper troposphere, as it is not only able to absorb the incoming solar ultraviolet radiation, but also part of the visible radiation as well as re-emit and absorb the outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation, consequently, changes ozone concentrations affect climate.  Keeping the above in view a study has been undertaken to examine the relation between the cyclonic storms, total ozone and QBO (Quasi Biennial Oscillation). <#LINE#> @ @ Shapiro L.J., The relationship of the quasi-biennial oscillation to Atlantic tropical storm activity, Mon.Wea.

Two standard questionnaires were used as data collecting tools. There was a significant relation between nurses’ organizational participation and patient safety culture. In addition, there was a significant relationship between nurses’ organizational participation and expectation aspects, organizational learning-continuous improvement, teamwork within and across the words, open and clear communications, and hospital manager supports. There wasn’t any significant relation between organization and nurses’ overall perception dimensions, feedbacks of nurses’ mistakes, no punitive responses to nurses’ mistakes, volume of work, patient transferring across wards, and reported events frequency. So the patient safety and patient safety culture can be improved by increasing the participation of staffs, in particular nurses. <#LINE#> @ @ Attree M., Cook H. and Wakefield A., Patient safety in an English pre-registration nursing curriculm, Nurse Education in practice, 8(4),239-248 (2008) @No $ @ @ Cohen M., Eustis A. and Gribbins R., Changing the culture of patient safety: Leadership’s role in health care quality improvement, Joint commission Journal on quality and safety, 29(7), 329-335 (2003) @No $ @ @ Forozan F., Evaluation of Patient Safety Culture in viewpoint of Nurses in training hospitals of Shiraz and Propose some strategies to improve the current condition, M.Sc thesis, Management and Information Faculty of Shiraz (2009) @No $ @ @ Ravaghi H., Evaluation of Organization Culture.

Therefore, in this article we tackle the default implementation and mechanization of the process of controlling pests, one of the methods of which is the use of intelligent spray using the fuzzy logic. In this method, based on the prevailing conditions in the field, it is divided into several parts so as to protect the environment, to economize in the use of pesticides, and to avoid spraying the parts of the field that are not infested with pests; and sensors sensitive to the pests present are used so that fuzzy logic can be employed to decide what types of pesticides and how much of them are to be used.  <#LINE#> @ @ Alizadeh and Amin, Water, Soil, and Plant relationships, Imam Reza University Publications, Mashhad, 472 (2007) @No $ @ @ Research Priorities of the Ministry of Power, Research Deputy of the Bureau of Applied Research and Scientific Support, Research Gathering, Deputy Ministry in Charge of Water (2003) @No $ @ @ Bahat M., Inbar G.
