Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneral Circulation in the Malacca Strait and Andaman Sea: A Numerical Model StudySyamsul Rizal, Peter Damm, Mulyadi A. Wahid et al.In the Andaman Sea and Malacca Strait, as in other parts of the Indian Ocean, the seasonal change of the wind plays a most important role: the south-west (hereafter SW) is monsoon active from June through September and the north-east (hereafter NE) monsoon is active from December through February. During the NE monsoon the winds are directed from the north … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 11 Aug 2012 · 18,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Evaluation of Thermal Imaging Based Respiration Rate Monitoring in ChildrenFarah AL-Khalidi, Reza Saatchi, Heather Elphick, Derek BurkeProblem statement: An important indicator of an individual’s health is respiration rate. It is the average number of times air is inhaled and exhaled per minute. Existing respiration monitoring methods require an instrument to be attached to the patient’s body during the recording. This is a discomfort to the patient and the instrument can be dislodged from its position. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Jul 2012 · 10,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOverview of Membrane Processes for the Recovery of Polyphenols from Olive Mill WastewaterOmpe Aime Mudimu, Martin Peters, Florian Brauner, Gerd BraunProblem statement: Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW) is an ambivalent by-product of the olive oil production, which appears in huge amounts every year after the olive-harvest in the production countries, mainly in the Mediterranean region. OMW is characterized by a high organic load and i.a. contains considerable amounts of phytotoxical polyphenols, which cause important environmental problems. Approach: Due to their antioxidant … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 27 Mar 2012 · 8,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGender, Religion and National Origin: Latinos' Attitude toward Capital PunishmentEllen BaikProblem statement: Previous studies on attitudes toward capital punishment are heavily focused on comparisons between blacks and whites with little attention to the Latino population. This is problematic given the rapid growth of Latino population who is now the largest and fastest-growing ethnic minority in the United States. Approach: Empirical studies devoted exclusively to studying Latinos’ attitude toward capital punishment … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPecan Weevil Recognition Using Support Vector Machine MethodGhulam Mubashar Hassan, Saleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: The Pecan weevil was considered as the most dangerous pest of Pecan fruits. The aim of this research is to evaluate Support Vector Machine method (SVM) for identifying Pecan Weevil among other insects. Eventually, this recognition system will serve in a wireless imaging network for monitoring Pecan Weevils. Approach: SVM has been evaluated using two different kernel functions … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2011 · 7,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWireless Body Area Sensor Networks Signal Processing and Communication Framework: Survey on Sensing, Communication Technologies, Delivery and FeedbackKhalid Abu Al-Saud, Massudi Mahmuddin, Amr MohamedProblem statement: The Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs) is a wireless network used for communication among sensor nodes operating on or inside the human body in order to monitor vital body parameters and movements. This study surveys the state-of-the-art on Wireless Body Area Networks, discussing the major components of research in this area including physiological sensing and preprocessing, WBASNs … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 1 Nov 2011 · 9,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Processing of Constraints based Spatial Join using R-TreesR. Parvathi, S. PalaniammalProblem statement: This study focuses on the spatial join effects with the constraints-based spatial data without any extra cost and Finding the minimum execution time of the spatial query and spatial selection method. Approach: Spatial joins are used to combine the spatial objects. The efficient processing depends upon the spatial queries. The execution time and I/O time of spatial queries … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 29 Oct 2011 · 6,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Estimation for the Double Pareto DistributionFaris M. Al-AthariProblem statement: The double Pareto distribution appeared most often as model for variety of fields, including archaeology, biology, economics, environmental science, finance and physics. The distribution exhibits Paretian power-law behavior in both tails. The family of double Pareto distributions has recently been proposed for modeling growth rates such as annual gross domestic product, stock prices, foreign currency exchange rates and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 8,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimum Setting of Controller Using Soft Computing Techniques for a Chemical SystemG. Glandevadhas, S. Pushpakumar, S.V. Muruga PrasadProblem statement: The aim of this study is to present an intelligent tuning technique for PID controller that are simple and still result in good closed loop behavior. The idea is to start with a tuned conventional PID controller, replace it with an equivalent intelligent controllers like Fuzzy, ANN, Genetic and PSO techniques implies fine tuned nonlinear PID controller which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 6 Oct 2011 · 7,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Performance in Elite Young Cross-Country Skiing: Classical Style Vs Skate SkiingFrancisco P.D. la Fuente, Carlos C. Otin, Luis M. Benito et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to assess the differences in the skiing performance of two skiing styles (classical style Vs. skate skiing), in a group of young high-level skiers. Approach: Four high-level male junior cross-country skiers from the Centre of Winter Sports of Aragon (Spain), were selected for this study that was developed during two competitions: 10 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 8,827 accessesView PDFCite
