Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Compaction and Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Yield in a Clay Textured SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem Statement: The impacts of soil compaction on crop yields have been studied extensively by soil scientists due to declining soil productivity associated with mechanisation. However, a relationship between machine-induced soil compaction and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) yield is unclear. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of mechanization on soil physical properties and the influence … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of Root Properties to Tripartite Symbiosis between Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.), Rhizobia and Mycorrhiza Under Dry Organic Farming ConditionsM. R. Ardakani, G. Pietsch, A. Moghaddam et al.Problem statement: It is generally considered that root turnover is a major contributor to organic matter and mineral nutrient cycles in organic managed agroecosystems. Approach: This study designed to investigate whether microbial activity could affect on root properties of Lucerne in an organically managed field under dry weather conditions. The trial was laid out as a factorial experiment in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMNM1D: A Numerical Code for Colloid Transport in Porous Media: Implementation and ValidationTiziana Tosco, Rajandrea SethiProblem statement: Understanding the mechanisms that control the transport and fate of colloidal particles in subsurface environments is a crucial issue faced by several researchers in the last years. In many cases, natural colloids have been shown to play a major role in the spreading of strongly sorbing contaminants, while manufactured micro-and nanoparticles, which are nowadays widely spread in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing Ammonia Loss from Urea by Mixing with Humic and Fulvic Acids Isolated from CoalAmeera Abdul Reeza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Nik Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Ammonia volatilization is a major pathway for nitrogen loss from surface applied urea. While all top-dressed ammonia and ammonium based N fertilizers can volatilize, the potential loss is greatest with urea and fluids containing urea. As much as 20-50% of N applied to soils is lost through volatilization alone. Thus, the objective of this laboratory study was to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfiling of Phenolic Compounds of Somatic and Reproductive Tissues of Agave Durangensis Gentry (Agavaceae)Norma Almaraz-Abarca, Elí Amanda Delgado-Alvarado, Vicente Hernández-Vargas et al.Problem statement: In Durango, Mexico, mescal is elaborated from wild plants of Agave durangensis. This species shows a high morphological variability within and among populations, what makes its taxonomic delimitation a hard task. Approach: In this study the pollen and foliar phenolic compositions of Agave durangensis were analyzed by HPLC/DAD with the aim of determining the significance of phenol profiles … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractErythema Multiforme Minor: A RevisionL. R. Oliveira, S. ZucolotoThe term Erythema Multiforme (EM) includes a wide and controversial variety of clinical expressions at the present time. This study revises the EM minor characteristics according to the most important publications found in literature. Erythema Multiforme is a distinct dermatologic hypersensitivity pathology characterized by cutaneous or mucous lesions and eventually it can also involve both. In their more severe forms, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Heapify Based Parallel Sorting AlgorithmM. A.A.A. Hija, A. Zabian, S. Qawasmeh, O. H.A.A. HaijaQuick sort is a sorting algorithm whose worst case running time is θ(n2) on an input array of n numbers. It is the best practical for sorting because it has the advantage of sorting in place. Problem statement: Behavior of quick sort is complex, we proposed in-place 2m threads parallel heap sort algorithm which had advantage in sorting in place … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Approach to Determine the Effects of MS Environment using the Portable GPS Receiver with Built-in AntennaWan Azlan Wan Zainal Abidin, Kiyotaka Fujisaki, Mitsuo TateibaCommunication impairment on the Mobile Satellite (MS) path for non-geostationary satellite is mainly due to effect of multipath and shadowing. In order to study the signal quality received by the MS user, a receiver system that has similar characteristics to the actual receiver used by the MS user should be used. This study presents a novel approach to determine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Integer Programming Formulations of the Generalized Travelling Salesman ProblemPetrica C. PopThe Generalized Travelling Salesman Problem, denoted by GTSP, is a variant of the classical travelling salesman problem (TSP), in which the nodes of an undirected graph are partitioned into node sets (clusters) and the salesman has to visit exactly one node from every cluster. In this paper we described six distinct formulations of the GTSP as an integer programming. Apart … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Algorithms for String Matching Problem on Single and Two Dimensional Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus SystemsS. Viswanadha Raju, A. Vinaya BabuWe considered string matching on LARPBS and 2D LARPBS. This has applications such as string databases, cellular automata and computational biology. The main use of this method is to reduce the time spent on comparisons in string matching by using LARPBS. We investigated exact string matching and approximate string matching problems. For these two sub problems, we obtained O (n) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,530 accessesView PDFCite
