Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReorganization of Agricultural Extension toward Green AgricultureMohammad S. AllahyariProblem statement: Considering unsustainable agricultural conditions of Iran and organizational recession and inability of current extension organization to achieve sustainability, it seems that extension systems require a new organizational structure to achieve sustainability objectives. The purpose of the present study was to identify the most appropriate characteristics for extension organization toward green agriculture in Iran context. Approach: To fulfill this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurability Assessment of Cylinder Block for Two Stroke Free Piston Linear Engine using Random LoadingM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.This research presents the durability assessment of cylinder block for a two-stroke free piston engine using narrow band approach. The life prediction results are worthy for improving the component design at the very early developing stage. This approach is adequate for periodic loading, however, requires very large time records to accurately describe random loading processes. Fatigue damage in conventionally determined … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Reaction of Citrus Species in Malaysia to Huanglongbing (HLB) Disease using Grafting MethodHajivand Shokrollah, Thohirah Lee Abdullah, Kamaruzaman Sijam et al.Problem statement: Huanglongbing (HLB) is a phloem limited disease in citrus caused by a fastidious bacterium called 'Candidatus Liberibacter' found in Africa, Asia and United States of America (USA). HLB can severely reduce vigor and yield or kill all citrus trees within 5 years. There is a need to screen and identify suitable rootstock for propagation of clean plan materials … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 11,145 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublishing Geospatial Data through Geospatial Web Service and XML Database SystemPouria Amirian, Ali A. AlesheikhTechnically the spatial non-interoperability problem associated with current geospatial processing systems can be categorized as data and access non-interoperability. In GIS community, Open GIS Consortium (OGC) geospatial Web services have been introduced to overcome spatial noninteroperability problem associated with most geospatial processing systems. At the same time, in Information Technology (IT) world, the best solution for providing interoperability among heterogeneous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Rheological Properties of Bio Mastic AsphaltR. Muniandy, H. Jafariahangari, R. Yunus, S. HassimDue to the high oil prices the price of asphalt binder has increased tremendously. This scenario has warranted demand for higher viscosity cheaper asphalt for pavement construction. A study was conducted to take advantage of the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) of Date and Oil Palm trees (which are considered as waste) to produce cellulose fiber to be used as additives … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Analysis of Structures Using Neural NetworksN. Ahmadi, R. Kamyab Moghadas, A. LavaeiIn the recent years, neural networks are considered as the best candidate for fast approximation with arbitrary accuracy in the time consuming problems. Dynamic analysis of structures against earthquake has the time consuming process. We employed two kinds of neural networks: Generalized Regression neural network (GR) and Back-Propagation Wavenet neural network (BPW), for approximating of dynamic time history response of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrotox Toxicity Assay for the Sediment Quality Assessment of Ganga RiverK.R. Beg, S. AliThe objective of this study was to determine the sediment quality assessment of Ganga River at Kanpur city where effluents from tannery industries are discharged. Sediment samples from control, upstream and downstream area were collected and analyzed for bacterial toxicity bioassay along with a reference sediment (LGC6137).
