Usually fin represent as one of the important structures in all type of airplane and the fin structure was greatly improved, especially for modern supersonic speed constructions. The main aim of delta fin construction is to minimize the weight of structure as much as possible and keeping the stiffness of material structural in margin of safety under design load [1]. The primary difference between classical method and finite element are the view structure and the ensuring solution procedure. Classical method considers the structure as a continuum whose behavior is governed by partial or ordinary differential equations [2]. By using finite element method consider the structure to be an assembly of small finite-sized particles. The behavior of the particles and the overall structure is obtained by formulating a system of algebraic equation that can be readily solved by developed methodology, which will be presented in form of software.

This work is focused on nucleation stages during isothermal austenite transformation in two types of Vanadium micro-alloyed steels. Isothermal treatment was carried out in the temperature range 350 to 600οC. Metallographic evaluation using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) enabled determination of the nucleation curves of isothermally decomposed austenite. Three curves are found to be relevant to this initiation stage of transformation: first curve is related to grain boundary nucleated ferrite (GBF), second curve is related to intra-granularly nucleated ferrite (IGF) and the third to pearlite (P) curve. GBF and IGF curves are divided into two regions, which represents the high temperature and the low temperature segments as consequence of either displacive nature of transformation or diffusion transformation. Addition of Ti to V – micro-alloyed steel in this work seems to be balanced by a slightly higher C and Mn content, leading to limited effect on nucleation stage of austenite decomposition.

In this contribution, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The effects of intrinsic disorders constructed by mobile surface contaminants on the structural perfection of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. The results indicated a complete picture on the effect of the involved parameters on the lattice defects of modulated CNTs based on the cooling step. Raman scattering showed that the different cooling methods of the CVD preforms altered the bound complex defects of the structure of the CNTs. Moreover, an array of CNTs was removed from the silicon substrate by applying the neutralized cooling method on the CVD, while the vertical and parallel orientations were retained. The FESEM images, coupled with Raman spectroscopy results, confirm the morphological improvements of the growth CNTs based on the neutralized cooling method.

Mobile augmented reality is growing rapidly because of the growth of smartphones. Due to the portable

nature of smartphones, mobile augmented reality devices have become the most widely deployed consumer

augmented reality display device and show promise for becoming the first commercial success for augmented

reality technologies. The role of the user is identified and forwarded to the respective module. Cognitive

engagement and interactivity are the main two factors of influenced learning where the engagements are focused in

Learnability identification module. When a common, single optical tracking platform is available the reachability

and performance can also be increased without affecting the efficiency, which will be done in AllinoneAR Module.

An integrated framework consisting of three above stated modules is proposed in this paper

l security perspective of Cloud computing with the aim to highlight the problem from the cloud stakeholders' perspective, and the cloud service delivery models perspective. The paper aims also to introduce the mechanisms used to secure cloud computing applications as well as to compare some providers of cloud computing field with each other in general and security aspects. 

The use of gas for power generation is likely to increase in the medium term. Also, the introduction of new fuels will ensure a higher generation with lower emissions under continuous operation. These scenarios lead to the conclusion that there will be a considerably more diverse range of fuel supply. However, the use of these new fuels contrasts with recent experiences of global operators who report increasing emissions and difficult combustion dynamics with even moderate variations in their fuel characteristics. Clearly there are significant challenges for fuel flexible gas turbines, particularly emission control, combustor dynamics and flame stability.

Trials using a power derivative gas turbine combustor and a high hydrogen content fuel produced unusual flashback events, in that flashback was induced by either leaning of the fuel mixture by the increase of combustion air, or by a change in composition through the reduction of methane pilot fuel. The introduction of CO₂ through the combustors pilot injector prevented flashback from occurring under these circumstances. The resulting reduction of temperature in the combustion zone, indicated by lower burner tip temperatures causes a reduction in the emissions of nitrous oxides, whilst there is minimal effect on the effective turbine inlet temperature, only a 2.3% reduction.

Investigations using a ‘generic’, radial swirl burner and stereo PIV demonstrated how the flashback depended on a combination of flow structure augmentation and changes in mixture burning rate. The injection of methane or CO₂ had differing effect on these parameters of the combustion zone, but both produced combinations that facilitated stability.

This paper presents an analysis of the essential characteristics of the TQM philosophy by comparing the work of five notable authors in the field. A framework is produced which gather the identified TQM enablers under the well-known operations management dimensions of process, business and people. These enablers are linked with sustainable development via balance scorecard type economic and non-economic measures. In order to capture a picture of Libyan Company’s efforts to implement the TQM, a questionnaire survey is designed and implemented. Results of the survey are presented showing the main differentiating factors between the sample companies, and a way of assessing the difference between the theoretical underpinning and the practitioners’ undertakings. Survey results indicate that companies are experiencing much difficulty in translating TQM theory into practice. Only a few companies have successfully adopted a holistic approach to TQM philosophy, and most of these put relatively high emphasis on hard elements compared with soft issues of TQM. However, where companies can realise the economic outputs, non-economic benefits such as workflow management, skills development and team learning are not realised. In addition, overall, non-economic measures have secured low weightings compared with the economic measures. We believe that the framework presented in this paper can help a company to concentrate its TQM implementation efforts in terms of process, system and people management dimensions. 

The continuous call on the increase of the quality of teaching put more pressure on academics to

draw on students experiences and propose new approaches for delivering information and increasing the

standards of teaching excellence. There are several generalized approaches to the scholarship of teaching and

learning such as continuous professional development and learning by developing, however cooperative

learning combined with project-based learning can be used in a range of disciplines in graduate studies such

as Information Technology. From our experience in teaching: e-commerce subject and web application

security course we found that such a strategy encourages lecturer to continue improve the curriculum and

delivery process leading to better learning experience for the students. This paper reports on the practical

nature of cooperative learning and how to use it to bridge Teaching and Learning as well as Theory and

Application. Our purpose is to report on cooperative learning in graduate studies using Project-based learning

strategy. It demonstrates the value of student empowerment and leadership in autonomous project groups.

The strategy is designed primarily to increase student engagement and improve the learning process. We

evaluate the success of the strategy by evaluating student attendance and active participation in classroom

discussions, learning outcomes, and student results. The success of the strategy encourages us to incorporate

the project-based approach on more than one course

This paper presents an application of the hazard model reliability analysis on wind generators, based on a condition monitoring system. The hazard model techniques are most widely used in the statistical analysis of the electric machine’s lifetime data. The model can be utilized to perform appropriate maintenance decision-making based on the evaluation of the mean time to failures that occur on the wind generators due to high temperatures. The knowledge of the condition monitoring system is used to estimate the hazard failure, and survival rates, which allows the preventive maintenance approach to be performed accurately. A case study is presented to demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed method based on the condition monitoring data for two wind turbines. Such data are representative in the generator temperatures with respect to the expended operating hours of the selected wind turbines. In this context, the influence of the generator temperatures on the lifetime of the generators can be determined. The results of the study can be used to develop the predetermined maintenance program, which significantly reduces the maintenance and operation costs.
