Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Cluster Bed-Form Formation Over Uniform SedimentMasoud Karbasi, Mohammad H. Omid, Javad FarhoudiProblem statement: Cluster microforms are a type of small scale bed-form found in the surface layer of some gravel bed rivers. These bed-forms are comprised of discrete, organized groupings of particles that sit above the average elevation of the surrounding bed. As part of the structural organization of the bed, clusters are believed to impact the local dynamics of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of the Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Weibull DistributionAl Omari Mohammed Ahmed, Hadeel Salim Al-Kutubi, Noor Akma IbrahimProblem statement: The Weibull distribution has been widely used especially in the modeling of lifetime event data. It provides a statistical model which has a wide variety of applications in many areas, and the main advantage is its ability in the context of lifetime event, to provide reasonably accurate failure analysis and failure forecasts especially with extremely small samples. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Two-Dimensional Wave Prediction Model Along the Best Track of Typhoon Linda 1997Worachat Wannawong, Usa W. Humphries, Prungchan Wongwises et al.Problem statement: A two-dimensional wave prediction model along the best track of Typhoon Linda 1997 was interested to study the impact of typhoon wind-wave characteristics. The dynamical wave model with deep water condition was used to predict the wave height (Hs) of Typhoon Linda before and after entering into the Gulf of Thailand (GoT). Approach: The standard one-way nested grid … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping of Stage Ornament Creation for Enhancing Economic Value Added in Isan CommunityPattamawadee Chansuwan, Suphanni Luaboonchu, Terdchai PantachiProblem statement: Several communities in northeast Thailand are creative and productive sources of stage ornaments but they cannot expand their markets according to the changes of customer requirements. Approach: This research aimed to investigate 3 point. (1) To investigate the background of stage ornament creation in Isan (northeast) community in the past. (2) To investigate the situation and difficulties of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Leaf Total Nitrogen Content for Nitrogen Management in a Malaysian Paddy Field by Using Soil Plant Analysis Development Chlorophyll MeterA. Gholizadeh, M. S. M. Amin, A. R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Laboratory plant testing is usually time-consuming and high-costing. Hence, plant nutrient variability must be measured rapidly and the information made known to the farmers before the new season starts. Site-specific crop management, well-established in some developed countries, is now being considered in other places such as Malaysia. Approach: The application of site-specific management principles and techniques to diverse … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Prevalence of Running Away from Home among Prostituted Children in MalaysiaZ. M. LukmanProblem statement: One of the significant groups of young women in prostitution is the runaways, children under 18 years of age who leave home without the permission of their parents or legal guardians.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMountain Sheep: An Environmental Epidemiological Survey of Variation in Metal Exposure and Physiological Biomarkers Following Mine DevelopmentLawrence K. Duffy, Michael W. Oehler, R. Terry Bowyer, Vernon C. BleichProblem Statement: Anthropogenic activities, such as mining and industrial operations, are a major environmental source of metal exposure for wildlife. Quantitative data regarding biochemical effects of exposure to mineral extraction on mountain sheep, Ovis canadensis, are limited, although their habitats are becoming increasingly affected by expanded resource development. Decisions relating to environmental protection and wildlife conservation should be based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Flexible and Reliable Architecture for Mobile Agent SecurityGhossoon M.W. Al-SaadoonProblem statement: Wireless application protocol is a protocol that makes it possible to surf the Internet from a cellular phone or other handheld wireless. Many of us that surf the Internet from home with a 56 kbps modem think that it is slow and a cell phone only uses 9.6 kbps so WAP has to take the lesser bandwidth into … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Pressure Range Based on the Characterization of Escherichia coli Cell Disruption in High Pressure HomogenizerRamakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan, Beng Ti Tey, Tau Chuan Ling, Arbakariya B. AriffProblem statement: High pressure Homogenizer was used for cell disruption in many studies. But no work was carried out to study the characteristics of cell disruption in a wide range of pressure. Approach: The characteristics of Escherichia coli cell disruption was studied in Avestin small scale homogenizer by varying the operating pressure (50-1500 bar), cell concentration in the feed (1.39-12.51 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,632 accessesView PDFCite
