Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntifungal Activity of Essential Oils from Some Medicinal Plants of Iran against Alternaria alternateI. Hadizadeh, B. Peivastegan, H. HamzehzarghaniProblem statement: Increasing public concern over the level of pesticide residues in food especially fresh produce has built up adequate pressure for scientists to look for less hazardous and environmentally safer compounds for controlling post harvest diseases. Essential oils as registered food grade materials have the potential to be applied as alternative anti-fungal treatments for fresh fruits and vegetables. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIonospheric Total Electron Content Response to the December 26, 2004 North Sumatra EarthquakeA. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, M. H. Jusoh et al.Problem statement: Ionospheric precursors of earthquake have been studied by scientists and seismologists. This study aims at examining the relationship between the ionosphere and earthquake precursors. The effects of the anomalous electric field that penetrates the ionosphere on the electron concentration can be measured experimentally. This study reports on the variability of the Total Electron Content (TEC) during the December … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFarmers' Use of Integrated Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Practices for Sustainable Crop Production: A Field-level Study in BangladeshM. Golam Farouque, Hiroyuki TekeyaProblem statement: The most pressing problem for Bangladesh agriculture is the current state of gradual decreasing of soil fertility, stagnating crop yields and declining productivity in a range of food crops. According to crop production scientists, Integrated Soil Fertility (ISF) and Nutrient Management (NM) is an advanced approach that can serve as a remedy to improve crop yields and to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparisons of Phytotoxicity of Barley Parts Extracts in Three Growth Stages on Annual RyegrassKolahi Maryam, Kolahi MinaProblem statement: The importance of allelopathy in nature and in agroecosystem has attracted researcher's attention with the main goal of using the phenomenon in biological control of weeds. currently, active involvement of scientists from different disciplines made allelopathy a multidisciplinary subject, and transformed the research from basic to applied, enabling use of allelopathy in agriculture and forestry.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiemann Estimation for Replicated Environmental Sampling DesignsLucio Barabesi, Marzia marcheselliIn many environmental surveys the population under study is made up of biological units scattered over a planar region. A variable is considered on each unit and the target parameter generally turns out to be the population total of the variable. In order to estimate the population total, field scientists commonly replicate a suitable design on the study region. Replicated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Proposed Optical Music Mark Recognition SystemIsmael JannoudThe optical music symbol recognition system still has many challenges. Most of issues focused on the recognition of the individual marks in the input concert documents. In this study a new and efficient model for optical music recognition (OMR) was proposed. The music marks was recognized and played by the computer OMR system automatically.
