Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility Study on Solar Power Plant Utility Grid under Malaysia Feed-in TariffM. Pauzi M. Kassim, Karam M. Al-Obaidi, M. Arkam C. Munaaim, Abd. Mokhti SallehIn Perlis, Northern Malaysia, a solar power plant with an energy capacity of 5 MWp began selling energy to Tenaga Nasional Berhad in January 2013. Upon obtaining Feed-in Tariff approval from the Sustainable Energy Department Authority of Malaysia, the power plant will produce energy with a Feed-in Tariff of RM 0.874 for every kWh for 21 years according to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 May 2015 · 8,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTUDY OF UNDERSTANDING OF CONTRADICTIONS OF COMIC CONTENT BY GRADE SCHOOL STUDENTSTatiana Vasilyevna ArtemyevaAnnotation: Tasks with comic content are especially difficult for the thinking of children, as they have to resolve the contradiction and inconsistence with their expectations. The article provides an analysis of cognitive mechanisms of understanding comic texts; emphasizes the role of dialectic thinking at resolution of problematic and contradictory situations, statement of colliding properties and relations of an object. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 13 Sep 2014 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE EFFECT OF DIABETES MELLITUS ON THE CLINICAL AND MICRO-BIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PYELONEPHRITISKathleen Lynch, Veena Venugopalan, Levita HidayatThere is some published evidence which suggests that the clinical outcomes and pathogens associated with Acute Pyelonephritis (AP) differ between diabetics and non-diabetics. However, current guidelines do not make treatment distinctions based on Diabetes Mellitus (DM) status. The objectives of this study were to identify the microbiological and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with AP and investigate differences between patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 6 May 2014 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREVIEW OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DETECTIONS: DYNAMICAL SPACEReginald Thomas CahillThis is a review of the numerous successful gravitational wave detections and the implications for the nature of space and time. The prevailing space time paradigm in physics was founded on the putative "null" results of the Michelson-Morley (MM) 1887 interferometer experiment to detect light speed anisotropy and which resulted in two different new relativity theories: Lorentz relativity (Lorentz, 1904) … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 8,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Mathematical Modelling of Reaction Kinetics for Cyclodextrins Production from Different Starch Sources Using Bacillus macerans Cyclodextrin GlucanotransferaseSyahinaz Shahrazi, Suryani Saallah, Mohd Noriznan Mokhtar et al.This study relates to the mathematical modelling of enzymatic production of Cyclodextrins (CDs) by Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus macerans. The experiments were carried out in batch mode using different starch sources and the results were used to estimate unknown parameters using linearization and dynamic simulation methods. α- and β-CD produced from tapioca were found to give the highest Michaelis-Menten … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStaphylococcus aureus Nasal Carriage Among Injecting and Non-Injecting Drug Users and Antimicrobial SusceptibilityMojtaba Varshochi, Zahra Attari, Alka Hasani, Ali SeidiStaphylococcus Aureus (SA) is one of the most prevalent bacterial pathogens in human beings. Approximately 20% of healthy persons are persistent carriers and 60% are intermittent carriers of SA. Nasal cavity is one of the most important sites of its colonization. Intravenous (IV) drug abuse has been proposed as a risk factor for colonization of SA in the nasal mucosa. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 23 May 2013 · 7,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Efficiencies and Rankings of Flagship UniversitiesG. Thomas SavProblem statement: Each state in the U.S. touts a premier university as the flagship of its publicly funded higher education system. With decreased government budgets and increased interest in public management reforms, these institutions are being pressured to provide evidence of and set examples for ever greater improvements in operating cost efficiencies. The problem, however, is that empirical measures of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 20 Jan 2012 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Reduction in Operations, Maintenance and Application for Customer Access NetworkMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Siti Asma Che Aziz, Kasmiran Jumari, Nurain Izzati ShuhaimiProblem statement: This study highlight on restoration scheme proposed against failure in working line at the drop region for Fiber-To-The Home (FTTH) with a Passive Optical Network (PON). Whereas PON is a system that brings optical fiber cable and signals all or most of the way to the end user. In this study we highlighted the issue on survivability scheme … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 17 Jan 2012 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Lead in Human Teeth by Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption SpectrometryHassan T. AbdulsahibProblem statement: The determination of lead in human teeth at concentration levels of μg/ml is proposed using Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HG-AAS). To do this, 2% (wv) lanthanum chloride solution was employed as matrix modifying reagent to increase sensitivity and remove matrix interferences. Approach: About 100 μL of sample and 100 μL of 3.0% (m/v) NaBH4 are simultaneously injected … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2011 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed AlgorithmsM.C. Jobin Christ, R.M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algorithm for medical image analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 8,780 accessesView PDFCite
