Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison between Structural Element of Building Systems in MalaysiaM. R. Abdul Kadir, W. P. Lee, M. S. Jaafar et al.The Industrialized Building System (IBS) was introduced in Malaysia in 1966, but it failed to establish itself on a continuous basis though there has been a sustained large market for residential projects even since. One of the reasons behind this shortcoming is the lack of scientific data on labor productivity that could convince policy maker. Hence, the objective of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Fuzzy Neural Networks for the Detection of Tumors in Medical ImagesN. Benamrane, A. Freville, R. NekkacheIn this study, we propose an approach to detect suspect zones or tumors in medical images. The idea is to define with precision the existence of different kinds of lesions using a hybrid system, which combines Fuzzy Neural Networks and Expert System. After applying a method of image segmentation to extract regions (by region growing algorithm or by mathematical morphology … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOOST: An Object Oriented Tool for Satellite Orbit DesignA. A. Salem, M. Zaki, A. A. WahdanIn this study the problems of satellite orbit design and simulation are tackled and an object oriented satellite tool OOST is developed. The tool with its three main modules enables the user to plan and design different satellite missions. It performs all orbital calculations needed, simulates the target orbit and performs analysis on the current active satellite(s). The simulation module … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManpower Consideration to Reduce Development Time for New Model in Automotive IndustryN. M.Z.N. Mohamed, H. Y. Sastra, S. M. Sapuan et al.A study of manpower consideration to reduce development time for new model in automotive industry is presented in this study. The approach taken are by studying the existing practice in car development and suggesting various ways for manpower improvement such as through early involvement and input from manufacturing personnel, the proper job scope structure, proper training to the new staffs … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi Strongly E-Convex FunctionsE. A. Youness, T. EmamIn this study a new class of functions, called semi strongly E-convex functions, and generalized semi strongly E-convex functions are defined .We discuss some their basic properties and obtain sufficient optimality criteria for nonlinear programming problems involving these functions. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Landscape Metrics to Surface Water Biology in the Savannah River BasinMaliha S. Nash, Deborah J. Chaloud, Susan E. FransonSurface water quality for the Savannah River basin was assessed using water biology and landscape metrics. Two multivariate analyses, partial least square and canonical correlation, were used to describe how the structural variation in landscape metrics may affect surface water biology and to define the key landscape variable(s) that contribute the most to variation in surface water quality. The results … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroduction to the New Type of Algorithms for Accelerating Convergence of SequenceR. ThukralA collection of new algorithms for accelerating the convergence of sequence of functions was described. The definitions and connections of these new algorithms with the improved functional epsilon algorithms are given. The effectiveness of these new algorithms was examined, namely the α-algorithms, the β-algorithms, the γ-algorithms, the δ-algorithms and the improved functional epsilon algorithms, for approximating solutions of a given … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,362 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltra Wide Band (UWB) Ad-hoc Networks: Review and TrendsRashid Saeed, Sabira Khatun, Borhanuddin M. Ali, Mohd K. AbduallahShort-range wireless systems have recently gained a lot of attention to provide seamless, multimedia communications around a user-centric concept in so called Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology presents itself as a good candidate for the Physical Layer (PHY) of WPAN, both for high and low data rate applications. Many ongoing developments of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary supplementation with Cyperus esculentus L (tiger nut) tubers attenuated atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E knockout mouse associated with inhibition of inflammatory cell responsesMohamed L. Salem, Mohsen Zommara, K. ImaizumiAtherosclerosis is a pathological process, where recruitment of mononuclear cells results in the growth of fibro-fatty plaques. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a legend for the uptake of lipoproteins, and deficiency of ApoE leads to the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein. Utilizing ApoE-/- mouse, which spontaneously develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets, the present study showed that feeding these mice on a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Role of PKCδ in Apoptosis Induction of Mouse ThymocytesC. Lutz-Nicoladoni, T. Letschka, M. Leitges et al.The family of protein kinases C (PKCs) has been implicated in signal transmission leading to apoptosis induction and/or survival. These effects are cell type and tissue dependent. Numerous studies employing phorbol ester, a pleiotropic PKC activator, strongly implicated PKC in apoptosis induction of thymocytes. However, phorbol esters activate both, the conventional PKCs (PKCα, β, γ) as well as the novel … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
