Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetation Assessment of Peat Swamp Forest Using Remote SensingSeca Gandaseca, John Sabang, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Peat covers 1.6 million ha (13%) of the 12.4 million ha land area of Sarawak and some of peat swamp forests have been logged. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of logging operation on peat swamp forest in this area. Approach: The study used a remote sensing technique to assess vegetation cover in a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Personality and Cultural Intelligence on International Assignment Effectiveness: A ReviewNaresh Kumar, Raduan Che Rose, SubramaniamProblem statement: Studies on cultural intelligence (CQ) have been recently initiated dramatically in an effort to determine how they were related to positive life outcomes. While past findings showed positive correlations to various aspects of life outcomes, clear establishments of the theoretical and empirical connections of CQ on cross-cultural adjustment and job performance among expatriates was still remain elusive in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Complete Automation of Unit Testing for JavaScript ProgramsM. AlshraidehProblem statement: Program testing is expensive and labor intensive, often consuming more than half of the total development costs, and yet it is frequently not done well and the results are not always satisfactory. The objective of this paper is to present an automatic test data generation tool that aims to completely automate unit testing of JavaScript functions. The methodology: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Putative Serine protease from Larval Midgut of Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Partial Purification and Biochemical CharacterizationAhmed Al Jabr, Mahmoud Abo-El-SaadA putative serine protease was isolated and partially purified from larval midgut of red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) using anion exchange chromatography, DE-52. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of this protease showed that the major band has a molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa corresponding to the same molecular weight of mammalian trypsin. In addition, zymography … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoundary Shear Stress around Bridge PiersMirali MohammadiThis research presents the measurement of boundary shear stress around the base of some elliptical shaped bridge piers using Preston tube technique. The uniform flow was established and a series of measurements having different discharges and channel bed slopes were undertaken. General results are established and then the effects of flow separation on the hydraulic theory are assessed. The Analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAppraisal of Thermal Properties of Mud in the Ariake Sea, JapanM. Azizul Moqsud, Shigenori Hayashi, Yan Jun Du, Daisuke SuetsuguIn order to explore the thermal properties of the Ariake Sea mud and to find out the affecting factors which affect these values, a portable thermal properties analyzer was used. Thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity of the mud samples collected from both the tidal flat and inside the deep sea were measured in the laboratory. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Solar Radiation in High Energy Intensive of the World by PV SystemU. Ali RahomaSolar energy can be converted directly into electricity by means of solar cells. Solar cells currently cost around $3.50 per watt for crystalline cells and $2 per watt for thin-film wafers, which are less efficient but can be integrated into building materials. Industry analysts note that between 2000 and 2005, each doubling of cumulative production resulted in a price drop … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmploying New Mathematical Models and Equations to Evaluate Risk-Benefit Criteria of Clinical TherapeuticsDa Yong Lu, Ting Ren Lu, Jian DingCurrent preclinical and clinical evaluation of a drugs or therapy is at first to find out a maximum toxicity tolerance, which is overall fixed. The potential therapeutic dosage will be ranged just lower or within the periphery of these maximum tolerant data. A hidden acceptance among general researchers lies as the toxicity concentration of a drug is always the same … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
